of here. there were a few leftover showers. they're generally quieting down. we'll be in for a partly sunny day today. there could be a shower this afternoon. but it should be a lot drier than the weekend. and warm and humid with highs expected back in the upper 60s. yesterday we were 82 degrees. about 5 degrees warmer. 87 this morning or this afternoon in la play that. isaac is causing changes at the republican national convention. >> the storm is bringing rain to tampa. and organizers are not taking any chances. let's get the latest from jennifer davis. good morning, jennifer. >> reporter: good morning tony and sarah. a week long political party was supposed to kickoff. but in the forum behind me,

it's not going to happen. isaac has disrupted the republicans' plans. they'll do a brief gaveling in and push off the events to tuesday. at this point it remains to be seen how many more changes will immediate need to be changed. a rainy start to a packed week in florida is wreaking havoc. tropical storm isaac is expected to turn into a category two hurricane this week as thousands of delegates descend on the city. >> a little bit of rain is going to hit tampa. we know how to deal with hurricanes in tampa. >> that little bit of rain is casting a black cloud over the convention plans. they are prepared, rain or shine. >> we're working around the clock. we have contingency plans. we have no reason to believe that we're not going to start

on tuesday. >> reporter: thousands gathered for the welcome event in st. petersburg. many say the political of supporting romney overrides the thought of holding umbrellas. >> we're excited to be here and support mitt and get him elected. >> >> reporter: some say this could be an economic boost for the city. the delegates will be all over tampa, and leaders are hoping they'll be spending money and helping the local economy. >> a lot of things have been shuffled around. who else is scheduled to speak? >> all the major speakers can be fit into three days. the big headliner tomorrow night is ann romney, paul ryan on wednesday and mitt romney on thursday. that's plan but it remains to be seen if isaac causes any

more changes. >> thank you so much. in the meantime, the romney campaign has released the latest tv ad, doubling down on the criticism of the president's plan for medicare. >> senator mccain would pay for part of the plan by making drastic cuts in medicare, $882 billion worth. >> as president, barack obama cut $700 billion from medicare to pay for obama care. >> it's a promise made long ago. work hard, pay in, medicare benefits are guaranteed. mitt romney would break that notice. >> the paul ryan plan kept the cuts that president obama proposed. this is the first day of school for many kids in the area, including montgomery county. we have a report outside walter

johnson high school. >> reporter: good morning. really the headlines for a lot of the systems in the area going back to school is bigger enrollments. and in montgomery county, a record enrollment year, 149,000 students. and the system has prevented two major construction projects. we have paint branch high school just underwent an $80 million modernization and it has the capacity for 2000 students. it includes a greenhouse and a new auditorium. in silver springs -- and a $30 million building. singer was a holocaust survivor who became a foreign language teacher and helped create a curriculum for teaching about

the holocaust. the system is growing by 2500 students a year. and students and parents may see a little bit more capacity, shuffling around of schedules. and 750 teachers were highered and another 50 more are to be hired once the enrollment settling in. the superintendent told me one of the challenges he wants to focus on the closing the achievement gap with minority students. >> so many of our students do better than counterparts around the country. but there's still a gap. there's a gap between black and latino kids. they don't do as well as the white kids on the s.a.t.s. we are ready to meet the challenge. >> reporter: they'll be focusing on professional development of teachers to meet the specific needs. they'll be talking about

interventions. and really the most important part here is community involvement. not just getting the message to parents about how important it is for them to be involved. but getting nonprofit organizations and government organizations involved in the schools and with the stuckling communities and students as what they call the whole wraparound effect. back to you. here are the other school headlines that we're on top of. in loudoun county, a new elementary school is opening and a new high school. and they're welcoming 13 new principals. frederick county, maryland, middle school achievement and curriculum changes. in d.c. they're beginning with the five year plan called a capital commitment. kaya henderson was here earlier. and this is video we just got

questions. >> find out how researchers were able to use a blueprint of the bacteria to trace the information. it's fascinating. we'll be back with more on that. 

new this morning, there's a push to allow alcohol sales in damascus, maryland. two residents are working to sway voters to support the change which will be on the november ballot. damascus is one of the few remaining dry areas in maryland. the population has grown significantly and at lot of young families are more receptive to alcohol. a task force is looking at fines for traffic cameras. the task fors wants to know whether increased fines have led to fewer people speeding or running red lights. the penalty for running a red light is $150 and a ticket from a speed camera can cost up to

$250. we told you about the deadly super bug outbreak at the national institutes of health. and there are questions about how patients got infected and how staff got the infection under control. thank you for coming in to talk about this. when we originally heard, we had no idea something like this happened. this was a year ago. give me an idea. you were on the team sort of like a detective to try to figure out where thisis was coming from and how people were getting infected. take it through that. >> i've been part of the genome project for 20 years. and these are the tools we've been being to make dna sequencing faster and cheaper so we can begin to engage in

medical mysteries like this. we had a patient come in to the hospital in june who was infected with a drug resistant bacteria. and we put her in contact isolation because we were concerned about the exposure to other patients. we have very few antibiotics left for these kinds of drug resistant bacteria. and in august when we started seeing three additional patients with the same bacteria, we'd never had this bacteria in our hospital before. so we were concerned. had this patient exposed other patients in the hospital? that's where we came in with the new technologies of dna sequencing to assist the clinicians to really understand do we have a match? are the patients two, three, and four, do they have the same bacteria as patient one?

and we found that they did. and the infection control team and the icu team stepped up the isolation of any patient with this bacteria. >> what i thought was so scary to read about was the fact that it had gotten into things that were sterilized. like a ventilator that was bleached. why was the bacteria so tough? and is there a concern? >> we were surprised at the hardness of this bacteria in the -- hardiness of this bacteria in the environment. any pierce of equipment on any patient was never used again in the hospital. that vented later that we found the bacteria in, that was our own internal test. we would not use that on any other patient. the problem is medical

equipment is really expensive. and our decision to only use the equipment on these patients means we had to buy all new equipment just for these patients. but it's worth it. how do you prevent something like this again? you mentioned this was a very resistant strain to antibiotics. that's something we've heard about in recent years. because of antibiotics being prescribed so readily, is that what is contributing to the strength of these super bugs? because we're using antibiotics too much? or what is it? >> these bacteria have become resistant to our go to antibiotics. and it is true. we are running out of antibiotics to treat these bacteria with, antibiotics -- there are serious side effects. hospital infection control is the key. not get the american public

sick in the hospital. >> that's becoming more and more difficult on the part of the hospitals themselves. how are they having to change things now looking at this super bug? >> we have changed our hospital practices because of this lesson where we now have enhanced contact isolation. this is really the part of us publishing the study to make sure that all hospitals have this information about how we implemented enhanced contact isolation. we don't want to learn this lesson at the nih. we want to make sure every hospital learns this lesson. and there were no concerns to the general public. people thought it could spread. people with compromised immune systems we're talking about here. >> this would not spread to the general public. >> thank you so much for coming in and explaining how you got

to of it. his one small step changed the world and this morning, america is remembering neil armstrong. a look at the life of the first man on the moon and how his friends are remembering him. first let's check in with holly. >> reporter: we're staring secrets this morning. and the secret is where you need to know to get the drink in our area. it's place that will take your back in time when alcohol was against the law. it's a prohibition party. and coming up later, we'll talk about prohibition then and how to relive it so to speak now. that's all new on fox 5 morning news. stay with us. it's time to change the way we clean.

worked out. but there's a push for the armstrong to be given a state funeral. he died from complications of heart bypass surgery. he was the first to set foot on the noon in the apollo 11 mission. the last non-president to have a state funeral was general douglas macarthur. >> as long as there are history books, neil armstrong will be included in them, remembered for taking human kind's first small step. >> he carried himself with the grace and humility that was an example to us all. >> buzz aldrin is mourning his friend. a statement from aldrin says in part, i know i am joined by millions of others in mourning the passing of an american hero

romney and paul ryan. >> organizers try to juggle the speakers schedules who deal with the storm. there will not be any speeches tonight. let's take a live look inside the convention center as preparations are underway. later today they'll gavel in and immediately recess. ann romney was originally supposed to give a speech tonight. that was changed. the storm is affecting some of this. a brunch with condoleezza rice and john boehner was moved indoors. the thing is if they had to squeeze it to two days, they could. there's not much that really happens at the conventions. i remember when they were fascinating to watch and now it's a formality. >> romney is the nominee. that's pretty much it. coming up, the search for

idol judges. who turned down a $20 million offer. and what prince harry has to say about the nude vegas photos. the buzz bin is next. 

cracking open the buzz bin with what you might call a case of morning after regret. britain's newspaper reports that prince harry let himself down regarding the pictures of him romping around naked. he's very disappointed. there's another person in the picture with him. he deactivated his facebook page under the alias of spike

kitten season is still flourishing. and people continue to find kittens outsidement >> what should you do if your find a kitten or an entire litter? >> reporter: it's in full effect which means that local shelters have an abundance of kittens. we have a volunteer at tails high rescue. we have sophie and prince. i'm holding sophie. and these kittens belong to our producer katie. and she actually found these kittens outside a building when they were around two weeks or so. and she took them to the vet and had them checked out. and we have some photos of when they were first discovered. they were so itty bitty. they had their eyes open. and they are being fed. and now they are about five

weeks. so they've clearly doubled inize. and they're very active and advocate call. and one of the things she is now struggling with is weaning them off the bottle. mama cat was not around and they've become dependent on the bottle. what's your advice? >> different kittens take a different amount of time. first just start mixing the formula in with the new food and changing the ratio. put it up to the nose and make sure they can smell. if they have congestion, that will interfere. otherwise, just go with the flow. they'll let you know when they're ready to eat off a plate. when they see the other cats do it. they'll eventually do it. it's going to be messy and

they'll walk in it. the most important part is to make sure they stay nourished. if they need to go back to the bottle, just do it. most of them start around four or five weeks. some have taken longer. others have done it quicker. there's no right or wrong, but around four or five weeks, they'll show interest if you give it to them. >> katie did the right thing by getting them to the vet. >> that's correct. >> she's going to be keeping these cuties. >> they're so loveable. >> and you've brought other kitties in today. look. they're playing. >> they are a little worked up. this is different for them. they live together and normally, their used to one

another. >> rose and gimley are available for adoption. gimley is the smaller gray one here. gimley you've got to calm down. [ laughter ] >> they're both available for adoption. rose is about a year and a half maybe. just shy of a year and a half. they're both eligible for adoption. and you can find the information and adoptable kitties on our website, tails high.org. and we have many, many adoption events. we just had a bunch. >> you guys are always doing something over there. >> we're linking your website to our website. and another important message we want to get out is the need for volunteers. look how much fun they are. you can play with them and commit to as little as 15 minutes to giving them a ride somewhere. what is the commitment level there? >> it's whatever you have to spare. sometimes we just need rides to and from the vet.

other times people to help out at adoption events. if you have design experience. there are so many different ways to volunteer. we have a volunteer application on our website that you can download, give us a call. let us know i'm available for two weeks. i have extra time. it's no pressure at all. >> very good. >> if you need to have a foster removed from your home. we handle all of that. >> if you are interested, check out our website, www.myfoxdc.com. we've got some hissing going on. back to you. >> a little mixed martial arts. >> look at them go. i'm sure they're sweet. >> they're just playing. >> the things you'll do to find

a forever home. >> any other time, we would cut away. we stayed right on that. >> the gray one is up by one. >> thank you very much. what began in opposition of the prohibition laws has been reborn. the night life scene, speak easy. >> holly morris is northwest. >> i'm going to be more details. back in the day, you had to know. you had to be on the inside track in order to find that drink that was against the law. today if you want to get a law at one of the hottest bars in the city you need to be in the bow. come to 14th and u. look for the now transcript back door. reservations are recommended but not necessarily required. but you can't stand when you

come in. you have to have a seat. that's why they recommend you get a reservation. and you might find this man. he's the general manager. and jane is a historian. good morning to both of you. thank you for getting us a seat. we appreciate it. tell me a little bit about the concept of the gibson. >> we pride ourselves on being a pre-prohibition bar. in actually, it was like a brain drain for all the talent in the united states that was in the united states. pre-prohibition is when you see the old fashioned. and prohibition basically you were making stuff that wasn't very good more palatable. >> this is a south side.

lemon juice, simple syrup, a gin mojito. but supposedly al capone's favorite cocktail. it's got its roots in chicago or new york, depending on who you ask. it's a great cocktail and a great representation of sort of the ingenuity that prohibition necessitated. >> are you in, jane? >> why not? >> tell us a little bit about prohibition in d.c? >> prohibition came to washington before the rest of the country because washington, d.c. was basically a garden for expects by congress. and this was an experiment by congress. we got prohibition in 1917 and the rest of the nation got it in 1920. >> it came early and stayed longer. this new movie lawless is based

on bootlegging brothers in virginia. but that's not how it was in d.c. >> prohibition for places was a violent activity. in washington, we were in the city. we did not have organized crime like in new york and chicago. the bootlegging that went on here didn't have fancy car chases or people shooting in the streets. [ no captioner audio ]

>> the outdoors is a service bar. but it's serving drinks, sort of focused on summer sippers and things like that. there's a substantial menu. indoors is the gem. it's all of our original cocktails. everything you see on the menu is something that myself or another bartender has created. >> thank you very much for having us. jane will be a guest any time. >> we'll have more after the break. stay with us. >> very good. bottoms up. 's made his choice.

but what choices will women be left with? just like mitt ry, paul ryan would get rid of planned parenthood funding. in congress, ryan voted to ban all federal funding for planned parenthood and allow employers to deny women access to cancer screenings and birth control. and both romney and ryan backed proposals to outlaw abortion even in cases of rape and incest. for women... for president... the choice is ours. i'm barack obama, and i approve this message. even easier to switch to -- and harder to resist. because now you can upgrade to fios internet and tv for a super-low $79.99 a month, guaranteed for one year, with no annual contract required. once we got fios it was like somebody like took our computer, shook all the junk out of it.
