Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC) is a multinational automaker officially founded in Japan in 1937, with its main corporate headquarters currently located in Toyota, Aichi, Japan. It is part of the Toyota Group, a conglomerate whose companies' work together and mostly share the Toyota brand. In addition to TMC and many other companies, the Toyota Group also consists of Toyota Industries Corporation, the company from which Toyota Motor Corporation developed.
Toyota markets, sells, and distributes its vehicles in the United States through its US-devoted subsidiary, Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc. Toyota automobile manufacturing, research, and development in the United States is conducted through another separate subsidiary—Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing North America, Inc. Both are holdings of Toyota Motor North America, Inc., which is a holding company of the aforementioned sales and manufacturing subsidiaries, among others, of Toyota Motor Corporation in North America, and operates as a wholly owned subsidiary of TMC. Toyota is one of the largest automobile manufacturers in the world in terms of production volume and revenue, and one of the largest companies in general in the world in terms of the latter.

In 1924, Sakichi Toyoda invented the Type G Toyoda Automatic Loom, a machine that, in 2007, would be registered as item No. 16 in the Mechanical Engineering Heritage of Japan—a list consisting of sites, landmarks, machines, and documents that made significant contributions to the development of mechanical engineering in Japan over the course of time. Toyoda had invented a number of other looms prior to this one, but this one was the most impressive and innovative to date. Due to the high number of orders that were expected for the machine, Sakichi understood that a new plant would need to be constructed in order to handle the demand, as the workshop he had been building them in was too small for what was to come. Sakichi's son, Kiichiro, was heavily involved in the decision-making process involving the new plant. To coincide with the construction of the new plant, Toyoda Automatic Loom Works, Ltd. (TALW) was established by Sakichi as an automatic loom manufacturing company.
Kiichiro Toyoda had different ambitions. His dream was to someday get into automobile manufacturing, and in the late 1920s and early 1930s, he traveled the world to investigate automobiles and started his own research into gasoline-powered engines. The Japenese government was also encouraging TALW to develop the capabilities to undertake automobile production, as it was in need of domestic vehicles due to the war with China at that time. Prior to his death in 1930, Sakichi told his son to follow his dream and, in 1933, despite the fact that it was considered a risky business venture at the time, Kiichiro made the decision to establish a department devoted to the production of automobiles within TALW under his direction. The capital that was needed to start the department was generated in 1929 when TALW sold the patent for the automatic loom to a British company.
In 1935, the first "Toyoda" automobile prototypes - the A1 passenger car and the G1 truck - were completed. In 1936, the first vehicle to be produced and sold to the public by the company was released. It was a passenger car named the Model AA. That same year, the company also ran a public competition to design its logo. The winning entry featured the three Japanese katakana letters for "Toyoda" in a circle; however, after some internal debate, the name was changed to a similar word in katakana—"Toyota"—for a variety of reasons, one of which was that "Toyoda" literally means "fertile rice paddies," and the company wanted to prevent being associated with old-fashioned farming. Another was that "Toyota" is written with eight strokes in the Japanese language, which is regarded as a lucky number in East Asian culture. The new name was then trademarked and, in 1937, the new Toyota Motor Co., Ltd. was founded as a separate company from TALW.
Toyoda Automatic Loom Works, Ltd. would later go on to become Toyota Industries Corporation and is still in existence today, making various machines and products such as forklifts. It is currently one of the core companies of the Toyota Group, as is Toyota Motor Co., Ltd., which is now known as the Toyota Motor Corporation.
Early Years
Initially, the company was dedicated to the production of very simple trucks for the Imperial Japanese Army during World War II. The trucks were designed to use very little in the way of materials due to wartime shortages. For example, they featured only a single centrally mounted headlight. Following the war, the Japanese government initially limited the production of vehicles, with full production not resuming until 1949, but permitted the building of the Toyota SA prototype. The Toyota SA was unveiled in 1947 and was Toyota's first new passenger car design following WWII. The nickname "Toyopet" was given to the car following a naming contest Toyota ran in 1947 due to the vehicle's small size. Following its release, all of Toyota's small-sized vehicles were sold under the Toyopet name, as would other vehicles such as the Toyopet SB light truck—Toyota's first entry into the pickup truck market—and the Toyopet Stout light truck (initially called the RK).
The Japanese economy, however, was really struggling as a result of WWII and, after being on the brink of bankruptcy in 1949, Toyota nearly went out of business in 1950. One of the many hardships during this difficult period was a labor strike that severely affected production levels. Kiichiro Toyoda ended up resigning from his position as president of the company as a result of these tough times, and he was succeeded by the chief executive of the Toyoda Automatic Loom company, Taizo Ishida. Kiichiro would pass away a couple of years later in 1952. It was also around this same time that a separate sales company, Toyota Motor Sales Co., was established. It operated as a separate company from Toyota Motor Co. Ltd. until the 1980s.
Demand for military vehicles would once again drive business for Toyota, but this time the demand came from Japan's one-time enemy, the United States, which Japan was still under the influence of following WWII. The US military ordered a large number of vehicles to use in the Korean War and this—along with Ishida's focus on investing in equipment like a new production plant—helped revive the company. Another big factor in the revival and growth of the company was the launch of the now famous Toyota Land Cruiser in 1954. A prototype of the Land Cruiser—initially called the Toyota Jeep, as there were many Jeeps being driven in Japan at that time—was actually developed a few years later in response to special needs that had arisen during the Korean War. But the vehicle was not selected for procurement by military forces. However, the company did not let the vehicle die and continued to pursue the concept. Eventually it convinced Japan's National Police Agency to adopt it as its patrol car, and other governmental agencies and entities followed suit. After responding to claims of trademark violation by the Willys Company—the makers of the original Jeep—Toyota renamed their vehicle the Land Cruiser. The rest is history, as the Land Cruiser continues to be produced to this day and is the longest running vehicle series in Toyota's history.
Throughout the 1950s and into the 1960s, Toyota invested in new manufacturing plants and in expanding its sales markets. In April 1956, the Toyopet dealer chain was established and, in 1957, it established both its first factory outside Japan in Brazil and its US sales, marketing, and distribution division, Toyota Motor Sales U.S.A., Inc. (TMS), in California. In the late 1960s, Toyota signed a partnership deal with Daihatsu Motor Co., Ltd. Daihatsu would go on to release two models in the United States in the late 1980s, the Charade and Rocky, but the venture was ultimately unsuccessful and Daihatsu USA was closed down only a few years later in 1992. Today, Toyota has a majority controlling interest (51.2%) in Daihatsu Motor Ltd., which it acquired in 1999.
Toyota eventually entered the US market in the late 1950s with the Toyopet Crown, which was the first Japanese car exported to the United States. The first prototypes arrived in 1957, with the car going on sale in 1958. The Toyopet was engineered to be used as a taxi on the bumpy roads of post-war Japan, at which it was quite successful. Its exterior was given a distinct American look with lots of chrome. It was not, however, a sure fit for the US market. The rugged durability that made it suitable for Japanese taxi use made it too heavy to perform well. The 58 horsepower engine struggled to drag the car up the hills of Los Angeles, where it was being sold. The Toyopet name was also not well received due to connotations of toys and pets and many consumers felt the car was overpriced. After two years of poor sales, in 1960 Toyota halted passenger car exports to the United States until a car better suited to the America could be created. The Toyopet name was soon dropped, though it lived on in other markets for a time afterwards.
Toyota tested the US market again in 1965 with the Toyota Corona, an update to the Crown. The Corona was specifically designed as a small, fuel-efficient vehicle for American drivers. Commuters in particular flocked for its automatic transmission and fuel economy. The Corona was the first Toyota in the US to sell more than 10,000 units annually. In 1970, it was named the "Import Car of the Year" by Road Test magazine. The popularity of the Corona paved the way for the Corolla and Camry, which together established Toyota as an automotive force to be reckoned with.
Becoming an Automotive Powerhouse
The Toyota Corolla was first produced in Japan in 1966 and introduced to the US in 1968. Due to the 1973 oil crisis, US consumers began turning to small cars with better fuel economy. Up until this point, American car manufacturers had thought of small economy cars as more of an "entry level" product, and those that they manufactured typically employed a low level of quality in order to keep the price low. By 1974, the vehicle was the best-selling car in the world. By 1982, the Corolla was being sold in 16 countries and, in 1987, Toyota started producing Corolla's in the US. To date, more than 7 million Corolla's have been sold in the US and more than 30 million worldwide. The Corolla holds the record as the world's best-selling automobile of all time.
The company continued to produce other successful vehicles throughout the 1960s, 70s, and 80s. An example was the Toyota Hilux compact pickup truck, which was released in 1968. While most countries have used the name Hilux for the entire life of the series of trucks, it was dropped in North America in 1976 in favor of Truck, Pickup Truck, or Compact Truck. With each subsequent generation that was released, the Hilux (or Pickup) became famous for being extremely durable and reliable. Another successful vehicle was the Toyota Celica coupe. The Celica was introduced in the early 1970s and existed until the early 2000s. A sports car whose styling was derived from the Celica, the Toyota Supra was released in 1978. At first, it was not its own model, and was pre-fixed by the name Celica; it wasn't until 1986 that it became an official model, separate from the Celica. The car was discontinued in 2002. The Toyota Tercel, another subcompact car, was released in 1978 and was another successful vehicle manufactured by the company. It was discontinued in 2000. The Toyota 4Runner was also introduced during this time, in 1984. While the original 4Runner was a compact SUV and little more than a Toyota pickup truck with a fiberglass shell over the bed, the model has since undergone significant redesigns and is now a cross between a compact and a mid-size SUV.
Where the Corolla is Toyota's biggest worldwide success, the Camry may be Toyota's biggest US success. It was introduced in 1983 and four years later became the first Toyota manufactured in a US plant entirely owned by Toyota. The Camry has been a Consumer's Report "Best Buy" every year since 1986, and has been the best-selling car in the US from 1997 to 2000 and 2002 to 2012. The Camry completed its integration into American culture by competing in the NASCAR Nextel Cup and Busch Series. It was the first international vehicle to do so. Camrys are built in ten countries and sold in 27, and have sold more than 10 million units worldwide.
In addition to the many successful vehicles Toyota introduced to consumers during this period, which helped the automaker become a giant in the industry, it also made numerous organizational changes to strengthen its position. In 1977, the company opened the Toyota Technical Center, U.S.A. (TTC), which was established to focus on engineering design, research, and development in North America. In 1981, Toyota Motor Co., Ltd. announced that it intended to merge the company with its sales entity Toyota Motor Sales Co., Ltd. The two had operated as separate companies since 1950 due to a prerequisite for reconstruction in postwar Japan. The merger was completed in 1982 and the combined organization then became known as Toyota Motor Corporation, which it still is to this day. Shoichiro Toyoda, Kiichiro's son, became president of the newly merged company and he remained in that position until 1992.
Branching Out
To close out the 1980s, Toyota launched the Lexus brand in the United States in 1989 (it wasn't introduced in Japan until 2005). Today, Lexus is organizationally separated from its parent company and is sold all over the world. It has become Japan's largest-seller of premium automobiles while maintaining its position in the upper echelon of the top-selling luxury vehicles in not only the U.S., but in the world.
Late in 1989, Toyota introduced a new worldwide logo in order to differentiate it from the new Lexus brand, commemorate the company's history, and to resolve the issue it was having with worldwide marketing campaign inconsistencies since, up until this point, no guidelines existed for the use of the brand name "Toyota", which was used throughout most of the world. The new logo consisted of three ovals which combined to form the letter "T," which stands for Toyota. The overlapping of the two perpendicular ovals inside the larger oval represent the mutually beneficial relationship and trust between the customer and Toyota, while the larger oval that surrounds the inner ovals represents the "global expansion of Toyota's technology and unlimited potential for the future," according to the company. The new logo quickly gained worldwide recognition and is still in use today.
In the 1990s, Toyota began to branch out from the production of predominantly compact cars by adding many larger and more luxurious vehicles to its lineup. One of those vehicles was the Toyota T-100, which was a full-sized pickup. Several lines of SUVs were also introduced as well, like the Toyota RAV4. In 1997, the company launched the Toyota Prius. The Corona and Corolla saw success in part due to their fuel-efficiency and consumers' growing demands for fuel economy in the face of the 1970s rising gas prices. The Prius captured a similar market when it was released in 1997 in Japan and 2000 in the US. When drivers were again becoming concerned with the price of fuel and with environmental concerns, Toyota led the way, releasing the world's first commercially available gas-electric hybrid vehicle. Perhaps due to its innovation in the field, it is the world's best-selling hybrid, too. It has won awards from Motor Trend, Car and Driver, and Popular Science¸ but perhaps the most impressive accolade it has achieved is being included as the car piece in an updated version of the board game Monopoly.
In addition to the Prius, one of Toyota's next big US successes was a uniquely American product. The Toyota Tundra was designed in the United States and is produced only in Indiana and Texas (suitably rugged birthplaces for a pickup truck). Of course, Toyota had some previous experience in the field, having started off building trucks. In fact, the first Toyota production work done in the US was the manufacture of beds for Toyota pickups in 1971. The Toyota Tacoma, which was released in 1995 as the replacement for the Hilux model, and the Toyota T-100 also paved the way for the Tundra's success. The Tundra was released in 1999, and that same year was named "Truck of the Year" by Motor Trend. To date, more than 5 million Tundra's have been sold.
Toyota kept on chugging throughout the first decade of the new millennium, releasing more popular and successful vehicles, and has continued to do so. Some of the more recent models that the company has produced since 2000 include the Toyota Venza mid-size crossover SUV, the Toyota Highlander, which is another mid-size crossover SUV, the Toyota Sequoia full-size crossover SUV, and the Toyota Sienna minivan, just to name a few. In addition, the company established the Scion division in 2002, launching it in the United States in 2003. Scion is Toyota's attempt at marketing and selling vehicles to a much younger consumer.
The new millennium also brought about some organizational changes as well. In 2006, the company merged Toyota Motor Manufacturing North America (TMMNA), which was opened in 1996, to oversee all Toyota manufacturing in North America, and Toyota Technical Center, U.S.A. (TTC). The result was the newly established Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing North America, Inc. (TEMA), which brought together all Toyota North American manufacturing, engineering, and research and development activities under one roof.
The company has also faced numerous challenges in recent years as well. From November 2009 through 2010, Toyota recalled more than 9 million vehicles worldwide in several recall campaigns after reports that several cars and trucks were experiencing unintended acceleration. The company initiated the recalls themselves, with assistance from the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in some cases as well. Production and sales were also briefly suspended on eight of the recalled models in early 2010 so that the company could fix the mechanical problems that could cause the accelerator pedals to become stuck. A lawsuit was brought against the company as a result of this issue, and an agreement worth more than a million US dollars was reached in late 2012 to settle it. A few months prior to the settlement, the company had to recall almost 7 and a half million vehicles worldwide to fix malfunctioning power window switches. This was the largest recall since the Ford Motor Company's recall in 1996.
In 2011 Toyota, and large parts of the Japanese automotive industry, suffered greatly from a series of natural disasters that rocked the country, including the Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, and the severe flooding in Thailand during the monsoon season. The earthquake and tsunami led to a significant disruption to Toyota's supplier base, and a drop in production and exports as they had to shutter a number of its manufacturing facilities in the country as a result, while the severe flooding in Thailand affected production greatly as well since it was a base for the company. Toyota estimated to have lost production of hundreds of thousands of units as a result of these catastrophes. As a result, the company was supplanted as the world's top-selling automaker for 2011 by General Motors (GM), a crown it had held for the past three years.
Toyota has since bounced back from these difficulties. In 2012, it reclaimed the top spot as the world's top-selling automaker, besting GM, Ford, and the Volkswagen Group, selling 9.75 million vehicles group-wide around the world, which was an all-time record for the company. Sales rebounded a whopping 23 percent year-over year. The quick turnaround of the company's fortunes is a testament to its resiliency and its commitment to its customers.
Toyota Today
While Toyota has been an international company since 1957 when it built its first plant outside of Japan in Brazil, since then the company has only grown larger and today the company has factories all across the world, including Australia, the United States, France, Egypt, and South Africa. They have succeeded by tailoring their vehicles to local markets, making a compact minivan, the Innova, to compete with TATA's in India and Southeast Asia for example, and modifying the Corolla into the more rugged Tazz for South Africa. Toyota's success in the US is no different. With vehicles designed specifically for the US market, it is an integral part of Toyota's global success.
In fact, Toyota might also be the only automaker with a military conflict named after it. In conflict between Libya and Chad in 1987, the Chadians used Toyota pickup trucks as improvised fighting vehicles. The Toyota's were light enough that they could be driven over anti-tank mines without setting them off, and were more maneuverable than the Libyan Army's heavy armored vehicles. The Libyan's attempted to adopt the Chadian Toyota-tactic, but it was too late and they still lost the conflict. Although it is a dubious distinction to have a war named after one's company, it does speak to Toyota's global presence and the versatility of its products. The company has also long been recognized as an industry leader in manufacturing and production, popularizing terms such as "Lean Manufacturing" and Just In Time Production, which it was instrumental in developing.
Undoubtedly, the company's overall strategy is expressed by the logo it unveiled back in 1989. The way that Toyota has succeeded in the US, with models like the Corolla, Camry, Tundra, and Prius, specifically modeled to meet the need of American drivers, is just one example of the way that that consumer-centric attitude has lead Toyota to become the world's largest automaker.

Compliance may be issue next year if schools don't close
Wednesday, May 9, 2001
Of The Post and Courier staff
State government will come to a halt Thursday
when South Carolina celebrates its first Confederate Memorial Day as a
mandatory state holiday.
More than 68,500 state workers will have the
day off.
The holiday became law last year when Gov.
Jim Hodges signed it as part of the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday
Only one Charleston-area school district -
Berkeley County - will observe the holiday by closing classes for the
day. Most other local school districts set their calendars at least a
year in advance and say they couldn't adjust in time to give students
and teachers the day off this year.
That apparently is OK with one of the bill's
supporters, Sen. Glenn F. McConnell, R-Charleston, although he said if
it is not embraced next year, there might be a movement in the
Legislature to force it into place with an emphasis on teaching
Confederate history.
"If Confederate Memorial Day is not
going to be celebrated the way they would celebrate Martin Luther
King's birthday, that's going to create some acrimony between
people," McConnell said.
Charleston County sets its calendar three
years in advance, and the holiday is not on the schedule for 2002 or
2003, but that could change. Charleston School Board Chairman Liz
Alston said the decision will come down to careful research by the
district's administration and school leaders.
But the idea of mandating the holiday struck
a nerve with Alston. The state mandates 180 days of instruction,
greater accountability and multiple holidays. "Where is the
balance?" Alston said.
"Holidays are something that people
really love, but everyone wants the schools to do everything,"
she said. "We really need to take a critical look at all we are
mandating the schools to do. Everyone is filling up the plates of the
The holiday has been added to the 2001-02
calendars in both Dorchester County's school districts 2 and 4.
What is still unclear is whether the day will
be treated the same as Memorial Day, Veteran's Day or Martin Luther
King Day. Berkeley school officials said no history lessons or other
observances were planned this week in classrooms. Leaders in both
Dorchester school districts said they do not have solid plans yet to
alter the curriculum next year.
But Dorchester 4's Superintendent Mary
Rice-Crenshaw said the holiday will be explained in the classroom.
"Our children will get the benefit of understanding why the day
is being celebrated and why it is important," she said.
Bill sponsor Sen. Robert Ford, D-Charleston,
said he'd like to see the holiday and the Martin Luther King holiday
embraced by both black and white South Carolinians.
"To get along, you have to respect each
other's history," Ford said.
Hodges, who signed the bill last year as part
of his support for the King holiday, doesn't plan to issue any
statement recognizing the memorial observance. He is scheduled to be
in Washington talking with the state's congressional delegation and
the National Governors Association, said spokesman Morton Brilliant.
In Columbia, the House plans to meet and
conduct business Thursday, but the Senate, under McConnell's
leadership, will take the day off.
No federal offices are affected by the
holiday, which will be marked in Charleston at Magnolia Cemetery in a
ceremony held by the United Daughters of the Confederacy, Charleston
Chapter No. 4. The event starts at 3 p.m. and will include an address
by Randy Burbage of the state Hunley Commission.
The Sons of Confederate Veterans, the United
Daughters of the Confederacy and the Palmetto Battalion plan an
observance in Columbia on Saturday. After a 10 a.m. service at Elmwood
Cemetery, the group will march to the Statehouse for an 11:45 a.m.
memorial ceremony.

WASHINGTON – President Obama signaled in his annual message that he intends to turn a totally new page in American politics, and apparently most people are happy to ride along.
For the first time, a president openly threatened Congress in a State of the Union message. After sketching legislation he wants to advance his vision of green energy, he said: "If Congress won't act soon to protect future generations, I will. I will direct my Cabinet to come up with executive actions we can take, now and in the future." The records are full of presidents furtively toying with legislation after passage. Notoriously, George W. Bush added so-called signing statements to bills he approved, indicating the parts he would or would not enforce.
But Obama's move is very different. "As far as I know, the president has not explicitly threatened to use his executive order to circumvent Congress in a State of the Union message," said Wendy Schiller, political scientist at Brown University.
A brief civics class: The Constitution made Congress a co-equal, if not superior, power to the president. The president would carry out what Congress ordained. This was the Founders' vision of representative democracy, rooted in a lower House elected every two years. This was once thought to be liberal.
More than a million men and women died or were wounded under this patriotic banner of law over whim. Law is an abstract that protects you from a crook, from a prowler, from the government. It requires that Congress and the president show mutual respect, even if they dislike each other.
Notably, federal courts have cast a cold eye on Obama's sidesteps of Congress, of the law. His regulations bruise the First Amendment's bar to the government's establishing a state religion.
Obama seeks to define which church-related institutions must provide employees insurance for contraception and abortifacients. This is tied up in court.
The senior appellate court in Washington last month struck down Obama's reshaping of the Constitution's decrees on making senior appointments without approval of the Senate. He made "recess" appointments to the National Labor Relations Board when the Senate was not really in recess, the court held.
Before election, he partially voided enforcement of immigration laws passed by Congress, by providing illegals with a kind of temporary amnesty. As he did by suspending enforcement of the Clinton-era Defense of Marriage Act.
With his drone kill program, Obama is now judge, jury and executioner of Americans abroad who are "under suspicion" of plotting terrorism against fellow Americans. This path touches on the Fourth Amendment relating to public warrants, the Fifth Amendment requiring due process of law and the 14th Amendment promising equal protection of the law to all citizens.
Obama last Tuesday night offered to share drone strike information with select congressional panels. But this only makes them party to a shameful rupture of American democracy and painfully evolved Western law.
Some of these actions may work as a political goad to return the House to Democratic control in two years, giving the party total congressional rule.
Obama's unique taunt in his annual message may prompt Republicans to become more obstructionist than they have been, and trigger more lawsuits against Obama actions.
Moreover, this trend poses a question about what being liberal means for Obama's loyal followers. Is this the liberalism of Presidents Harry Truman and Bill Clinton, who each worked with a GOP House? Or the liberalism of Venezuela's Hugo Chavez?
And is it still out of order to ask Obama-style liberals how they feel about the 22nd Amendment barring a third term?

Buffalo police are looking for the public's help in locating two missing children – ages 5 and 13 – reported missing Monday from their Cambridge Avenue home.
Police say the 13-year-old girl may have taken her 5-year-old brother and left the house, either overnight Sunday or early Monday morning. The kids were reported missing shortly before 7 a.m. Monday from their home, about six blocks east of Grider Street, south of East Delavan Avenue.

Frank J. Morrocco, an ex-convict who claimed that he intentionally got himself arrested for shoplifting last November so he could get sent back to prison and get better health care, is in trouble again at U.S. District Court.
Federal prosecutors want Morrocco, 56, to be put back in prison because of a second shoplifting arrest, which occurred at a Clarence department store Dec. 24.
During a court appearance last week, U.S. Magistrate Judge Jeremiah J. McCarthy refused to put Morrocco back in prison but warned the ex-convict that he is "skating on thin ice."
"There will be another hearing on this situation, but it hasn't been scheduled yet," Assistant U.S. Attorney Anthony M. Bruce said Monday. "Our position is that he has violated the terms of his probation."
Morrocco, an Amherst resident who was convicted of cocaine trafficking in 1994, served 20 years in federal prison. He was released and put on probation in late 2011. Since then, Morrocco has worked as a used-car buyer.
On Nov. 16, Amherst police arrested Morrocco for shoplifting at a Wegmans supermarket on Maple Road.
He told The Buffalo News that he stole items he didn't need and purposely got himself arrested because he was not making enough money to afford health insurance. He said he wanted to go back to prison, where he had received "excellent" care for his leukemia at taxpayer expense.
After his arrest was publicized in The Buffalo News, friends and family members stepped forward and agreed to pay for Morrocco's health care. Morrocco said he no longer wanted to be returned to prison, and a federal judge showed sympathy for his plight and refused to imprison him.
But two weeks after the judge gave Morrocco a break, he was arrested by officers again, this time for allegedly helping a woman shoplift at a Walmart store on Transit Road in Clarence, prosecutors told McCarthy on Friday.
Morrocco denies any wrongdoing in the Walmart incident, his attorney, Jeremy D. Schwartz, told the judge.

After reportedly being interviewed by the Cleveland Browns, Penn State football coach Bill O'Brien will remain with the Nittany Lions.
CBS Sports NFL insider Jason LaConfora announced through social media on Thursday night that O'Brien informed the university that he is staying.
Several sports-news gathering agencies came out with similar reports later in the evening, ending nearly a week of rumors that O'Brien would leave University Park after just one season.
O'Brien's agent, Joe Linta, told the Associated Press late Thursday night that O'Brien's experience in 2012 at Penn State played on the coach's "heartstrings" and made the decision easy in the end.
"His loyalty to the team and those kids was a really strong bond," Linta said. "Although he loves the NFL and loves coaching, the experience this year with those kids was the opportunity of a lifetime for him."
According to Sports Illustrated's Pete Thamel using a Penn State source, O'Brien and his staff also "are expected to receive significant raises." A social media post attributed to the Harrisburg Patriot-News said O'Brien was in line to get an increase in salary up to $3.6 million and receive assurances the university would make some "structural/personnel" changes.
The Cleveland Plain Dealer posted a report on its website earlier in the day that O'Brien had interviewed with Browns officials earlier in the week and that the team also was set to talk to Syracuse coach Doug Marrone and Oregon coach Chip Kelly, citing league sources.
Philadelphia Eagles media relations chief Derek Boyko said his team also held an interview with O'Brien on Thursday before the Penn State coach and Linta made it clear that O'Brien would stay with the Nittany Lions for at least another year, the Associated Press reported.
However, by mid-evening, Sports Illustrated posted an article on its website that Penn State was making a push to keep O'Brien and "has received positive indications that he's strongly considering staying," according to an unnamed source.
Shortly after, reporters from the Philadelphia Eagles website and the Philadelphia Inquirer sent out via Twitter that O'Brien would not take further interviews and intended to stay at Penn State. LaConfora then tweeted that he received word that O'Brien had told the school.
"I'm not a one-and-done guy," O'Brien told the Harrisburg Patriot-News. "I made a commitment to these players at Penn State and that's what I am going to do. I'm not going to cut and run after one year, that's for sure."
Penn State seemed braced for the worst -- ESPN's Adam Schefter said the university was so concerned O'Brien might really leave that it was compiling a list of candidates to replace him.
O'Brien guided Penn State to an 8-4 record, was named Big Ten coach of the year by both the media and coaches and was a finalist for several national coaching awards after the Nittany Lions were hit with heavy NCAA sanctions related to the Jerry Sandusky sex abuse scandal.
Before coming to Penn State, O'Brien was offensive coordinator of the New England Patriots.
Reports came out late in the season that NFL teams might have interest in O'Brien. Those died down a bit in December before ESPN announced on Sunday that teams still had O'Brien on their lists and the Nittany Lions coach would consider offers - Chris Mortensen said he was told by a source that O'Brien was assured by university officials when he was hired that no NCAA penalties would be forthcoming because the Sandusky case was a criminal matter.
However, in July, the NCAA hit the Lions with a bowl ban and scholarship restrictions that will be in effect over six years. Current players also were allowed to transfer immediately without having to sit out a year.
As a result of the sanctions, O'Brien's contract automatically was extended, giving him a deal that covered nine years.
There also was a buyout of somewhere between just under $10 million and just under $20 million for anyone trying to hire O'Brien away.
A message left with O'Brien's agent on Thursday night by the Mirror was not returned. Penn State declined comment when asked if it was aware of O'Brien's interviews.

PROBLEM WITH TASM CODE - need ur help for my MS project..pls help me pls
Dear Friends,
This is mohana , I need your help for my masters project, could you help me if you can?.actually my aim is to create one ASM code and I have to insert this code into one of metamorphic code generator. That generator produce some out puts.these out put should have different structure but should have same out put which means metamorphic concept..
Now I got one new idea for my project. Actually if we run my own ASM code individually then this code will find all .COM files in your current directory then copy itself and will make duplicate copy as a hidden file.( if u enable the show hidden file option then u can see this files) Right now I got one Generator kit from the web named SMEG. Actually this kit is working perfectly. In this generator kit if we compile and link the smeg_gen.obj + smeg.obj file with TASM 5.0 then we can get one smeg_gen.com file. If we run this smeg_gen.com file we can get the following result..:
1 -- 3 Generations
2 -- 30
3 -- 300
4 -- 3.000
If we choose 1 then we got three kind of out put named SHIT0000,SHIT0001 and SHIT0002 like this.....Now if we open one shit000 file then we can get the following out put shit0000.COM. This was decrypted with a smeg 4.0 generated decryptor!
in this result I want to replace my own code result instead of thisResult This was decrypted with a smeg 4.0 generated decryptor! means if I open every SHIT0000 file then my own code result should come in all the shit0000.com files. I guess we need to modify something in this smeg_gen.asm, but I dont know how to insert my own code into this asm code..when i tried this code my result came directly but the shit0000.com files didnt generated. I guess this generator is suitable for my project.could u please help me to insert my code in to this kit and kindly do the need ful for me.please find out my attachments,

Dutch international Urby Emanuelson has confirmed that he is set to join Fulham on loan from AC Milan .
The 26-year-old left-sider has sunk down the pecking order under Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri in recent months and now the club has sanctioned a loan move.
Emanuelson, who joined Milan in 2011, is now on his way to London to undergo a medical.
"I will finish the season with a loan deal," he told De Telegraaf. "I have worked in a very good way with him (Martin Jol) at Ajax and am happy as he gives me the chance.
"Martin has a lot of confidence in me and that's what I need right now. At AC Milan I ended up on the bench from nowhere and I was really shocked with that. The previous two months were hard.
"At my age it is important to play week in, week out."

Outdoor Education & Leadership Minor
About the Outdoor Education and Leadership Minor
With a minor in Outdoor Education & Leadership, students will develop effective leadership, communication, management, self-awareness, and technical outdoor skills. They will identify and critically examine contemporary professional issues in outdoor education, leadership, recreation and environmental studies in both a classroom and field setting. Students will gain an understanding of the historical, philosophical, and theoretical foundations of outdoor recreation, education, and leadership. The interdisciplinary nature of the OE&L Minor allows students to choose which emphasis they would like to pursue. While the core curriculum is consistent for every student, there is freedom within the elective choices to individualize the program based on interest. Students can select courses in Management, Environmental Studies, Education, Philosophy, Political Science, Public Health, Anthropology, and Human Performance & Wellness.
Students in the OE&L Minor often become trip leaders for the Westminster Outdoor Program and have an impressive Outdoor Leadership Portfolio (which they create as a part of their coursework) consisting of leadership experience, personal experience, and professional training. Because experiences outside of Westminster such as National Outdoor Leadership School (NOLS) courses, certifications with the American Mountain Guide Association (AMGA), or courses transferred from other institutions can be extremely valuable, those may also be considered as a part of the minor. Students are also encouraged and assisted in seeking out internships and employment that will support their work in the minor such as marketing internships with ski resorts, trip leading positions with local summer camps, and guiding opportunities.
Students Pursuing the Outdoor Education & Leadership Minor Will:
· Complement their major degree by developing skills that can transfer to many fields of study and career paths
· Be prepared to pursue graduate studies or careers in related fields such as Outdoor or Adventure Education, Guiding, Experiential Education, Environmental Education or Outdoor Program Administration
· Demonstrate competence in outdoor skills such as: backpacking, camping, rock climbing, skiing & snowboarding (including backcountry), and paddling, and have the opportunity to acquire certifications in one or more of these areas
· Understand the history, theory, philosophy and foundations of outdoor education
· Demonstrate leadership skills such communication, risk management, and decision-making
· Utilize research in the field to become educated in current trends & issues and guide their own aspirations within the field

Best Hair Purchase EverI bought my GHD from Folica back in September 2010. Back then, I didn't know much about irons in general and had been using a CHI for the previous 3 years (which still works to this day as well!). I purchase a Sedu first, which I liked because I could modify the temperature settings, but it didn't give me the absolute pin straight look I wanted. So I returned it to Folica, no questions asked, read tons of reviews like this online and took my chances.
I love this straighter! I've had it since 2010 and it has never failed me yet! Unlike my CHI, there has been no wearing on the plates and it doesn't rip my hair out during use. It's definitely not a "single pass" straightener and can take a little time to get my hair to the straightness I desire but for me it's totally worth it! I have tons of frizzy hair and the GHD makes it look like I was born with beautiful smooth and shinny hair!
I went to turn it on the other day and it just beeped and beeped. I thought 5 years is a good amount of time for any product to last (especially one that I've used faithfully 3 or 4 times a week for years). Turned out it was just cold from sitting in my car in the below freezing temps and just needed to get back to room temperature. What a relief! If and when this ever dies I will definitely replace with another GHD!Jan 16, 2015ghd Gold Professional 1" StylerHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Dry Hair / Curly Hair / Color Treated Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair

AmazingBest flat iron EVER.
it heats up in less than 30 seconds which make it quick and easy. I have really fine, stringy hair and normally just use it to smooth out my hair after blow drying or for the morning after a wash to keep it sleek. All my friends with curly thick hair love using it when they come over too. I also love that it automatically turns off if you're not using it, so I never have to worry about accidentally leaving it on.

Amazing Flat Iron! Buy This Over The ChiAt first I didn't want the red and preferred the original professional iron GHD offers, but the red is actually better than I thought it would be and I got an amazing price. For me, the bag was useless as I already had a Vera Bradley heat resistant pouch. It's oversized and gaudy. Though it does have room for hair tools because it has a zippered pouch to protect the iron and then some room on the side for the clips, comb etc. so it may work for you, just not my preference. I had a chi for years before it died on me before I went to Europe. I bought a transformer and adapter and it still just died, couldn't get it to turn on even when I got back home. The GHD has automatic dual voltage so you don't need to worry and you only need an adapter for the plug. It's lighter than the chi, curls better than the Chi, AND straightens better than the Chi. I also noticed it does not get as hot but still does a better job straightening. With the Chi I would have to wait to do a section again because it was too hot to touch. The clips actually work great, wasn't expecting them too.Nov 14, 2012GHD Limited Edition Scarlet Collection S...HAIR TYPEMedium Brown / Normal Hair / Curly Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair

If You're Thinking Of Buying This, Read This Review...OK so first of all, I have very frizzy, wavy hair. It's quite kinky and thick. Extremely hard to straighten and keep straight. I got this for an AMAZING price of $110. Folica had it on sale for $150, and I had a $40 off coupon if you re-send in an old iron/hair dryer. So I think that's an excellent price.
This iron is really good quality. Heats up very quickly, and makes the hair very straight. I also love the auto-shutoff setting, as I often forget to turn off my iron. I LOVE the swivel cord, so that the cord doesn't get wrapped around the iron, drawers or anything else in my bathroom. So convenient. It makes the hair feel smooth and look shiny. Plus, you get a 2 year warranty if you register it with GHD.
I don't like the fact that it has only one heat setting. This is a con for people with thick, frizzy hair (like me) or really thin hair. You can't adjust the setting. Also, I do sometimes have to make 2 passes on a section of hair (mostly very kinky strands near the ear or neck). Also, not sure it's worth the money if you pay the full price. It's a great iron, but I feel like I get similar results with a Sedu.
All in all, for the price I paid I am happy. It gets 4/5 stars in my book.Nov 9, 2012GHD Limited Edition Scarlet Collection S...HAIR TYPEBlack / Thick or Coarse Hair

Not As Good As Ghd IvI bought this ghd Scarlett Professional Iron to replace my old ghd IV iron which was a power horse and was still going strong at 5 years old. When I damaged the chord, I decided to just buy a new one. Apparently the ghd Professional was the new replacement for the IV.
Well it is NOT the same. It does not style my hair the same, and the style doesn't keep as long as it used to. My ghd curls fall flat after a couple hours, and this sucks all the body out of my hair (unlike the IV). Also, the chord for this iron tangles terribly. I've had it for only a few months and already the chord is tangled and looks gnarled.
I had always touted ghd as the BEST flat iron on the market, but I no longer endorse them because this let me down. I'm hoping they re-work this "Professional" iron, and improve it, because as-is, it's a disappointment.Nov 5, 2012GHD Limited Edition Scarlet Collection S...HAIR TYPELight Brown / Fine or Thin Hair

Great, But At This Price It Should Be PerfectI'm a bit torn on the GHD Gold Flat iron. After a few bad experiences with other irons, I decided to go for "the best," despite the price tag. Although I did buy this one Folica on a great promo, and it only cost me about $125, which I think is a steal (note that I'm in Canada, but I had it shipped to my brother in the US. Folica ships with UPS, which means you will get hit with duties AND brokerage fees, without question). First impressions - the design of the iron is really nice. It's very light, but doesn't feel cheap at all. The plastic is high quality and very well made. The on-off button is on the inside, so you can't accidentally turn it off while in use. It's a slider with the GHD logo lit up. It flashes while warming up, and stays lit when hot. It heats up super super fast - even before I'm done sectioning my hair, and then it beeps to let you know it's ready. Styling with it is easy, and it makes nice curls. However, the plates aren't "floating" and they do snag my hair a bit, which is my biggest pet peeve. It doesn't snag as bad as my Babyliss Argan Heat, or the cheapo Conair I used once, but I can still "hear" my hair passing though, if you know what I mean. It's just not completely smooth. As everyone else has mentioned, it does NOT have temperature control. At this price, GHD should just suck it up and give us what we want, instead of smugly insisting that they know what the best temperature is. I have the Scarlet edition, which comes with a case and heat mat too. Personally, I don't like these - they are both too tacky and bulky, which defeats the purpose for travel. The satin is not exactly the best thing to have pacing down on your counter in the bathroom. I would've preferred a really thin, flexible, sleek case or mat. It also comes with a guard that slides onto the end of the iron, to keep the plates together for travel or storage. Again, it's way too bulky, and not well designed. As you pick up the iron to move it, you squeeze the plates together, which causes the guard to fall off. My previous iron, a Toni & Guy, had an awesome feature, a little slider that would lock the plates together. Why don't all irons have this? At the time I took it for granted. Overall, I'm happy with the high quality and the performance of the GHD, but I think it could use improvement in the fit of the plates, the accessories, and temperature control.Oct 20, 2012GHD Limited Edition Scarlet Collection S...HAIR TYPEMedium Brown / Dry Hair

Sigh Of Relief! Read This If You Think You Have A Fake!Ok, so I wasn't going to write a review for this product but I just had to share what I went through in the last few hours. :) I purchased the ghd scarlet here on folica. It took 5 business days for it to arrive, which is ok, I guess, since it was free shipping. When I opened it, everything looked authentic. The pouch is super cute and the iron is very light and easy to handle. The plates are red and glittery. I registered my product on the ghd website and had no problems.
When I saw on the box that it was manufactured in P.R.C (People's Republic of China), I started to have doubts since I had heard that all ghds are made in Korea. Then I straightened my hair and it seemed to pull on my hair A LOT! It was painful. I looked at the plates and realized they were uneven. There was a gap between the plates (when you close the plates, only the front end would be touching). At this point I was sure that there was something wrong with my iron.
I called the ghd customer service and this is what they told me:
- Some irons are made in China, some in Korea- both are AUTHENTIC if purchased from an authorized retailer and folica is!
-There IS SUPPOSED TO BE A GAP between the plates. When you're straightening your hair, you never close the plates completely because there will be hair between them, if that makes sense. The reason why it was pulling my hair was because I PUT TOO MUCH PRESSURE on the plates. I tried to close them as tightly as possible. With the ghds, you don'T have to do that! You just swipe the plates across your hair loosely. I tried this and it did NOT pull my hair anymore. I had a cheap remington iron before, so I was used to pushing the plates together hard.
I was so relieved to find out that my iron was authentic and that it actually worked amazingly well once I used it correctly. If you don't push the plates together so hard it is also less damaging to your hair.
Really hopes this was a help to someone because I was so freaked out at first. But I'm so happy with my iron now. It leaves my hair perfectly straight and glossy all day long.Oct 1, 2012GHD Limited Edition Scarlet Collection S...HAIR TYPEDark Brown / Color Treated Hair / Fine or Thin Hair

InterGrid provides its customers with on demand bursts of power for complex, intensive computing processes using the Windows Azure platform. Primary industries served include biotechnology, financial modeling, digital media, oil and gas, and design and manufacturing. Common usage scenarios entail the rendering of visually rich imagery, such as an automobile prototype, genetic DNA strand sequencing, animated 3-D movie frames, etc. Before the cloud, a typical process could take days to complete, and now can be finalized in a matter of minutes, representing a dramatic time and cost savings passed on to customers. The company has created an API called GreenButton to embed in third party software applications, for customers to take advantage of the service. GreenButton uses a patented Job Prediction algorithm to present the user with time and cost alternatives for running their job. They have just released the GreenButton SDK allowing ISVs and developers to embed the GreenButton API in their own applications enabling fast and easy access to cloud-computing resources. InterGrid/GreenButton Senior Developer, Peter Soukalopoulos explains.
Oops, something didn't work.
Nice work Peter - doing us proud! Check out the GreenButton SDK @ http://www.greenbutton.net/integrate
Hi Peter Souk, its good to see you mate. Ivy told us all about your Green Button. I must admit I didn't understand much of what you were talking about but it's sounds great. Can you put a Green Button into AutoCAD, Navisworks and MicroStation? That would be cool. Cheers mate.
@Mal Christison: Hi Mal. Great to hear from you. The GreenButton is simply explained as a cloud framework that can process compute intensive tasks. We provide an SDK that makes it possible to add a GreenButton to any application, like AutoCad et al, which allows the compute task to be submitted to our service. Happy to explain more if you're interested. Take care, Peter.

Oops, something didn't work.
Looks very helpful. So if I make changes in My Work they are stored in the TFS database. And I have access to them not only from local machine but whenever I connect to my workspace I can observe them. Am I right?
that is correct @Ivan. When you suspend your work in progress a shelveset is created that is stored in TFS. When you resume suspended work the shelveset is removed. This means you can suspend on one machine and resume on another.
This feature is really helpful given the effort involved in setting up an environment to perform server side debugging and suddenly some priority stuff comes in from the customer! This is awesome, really of great help.
So is this only for TFS 2012? I do not see the My Work feature in Team explorer panel.
@jlambert: Yes, MyWork relies on new functionality in TFS 2012 to remotely store your shelved work. If the solution you are working with is not added to the TFS source control then MyWork will not be enabled.

What is an APWA Public Works Institute?
An institute is an educational/training program offered by APWA through individual chapters concentrating on management and leadership professional development.
What is the difference between an Academy and an Institute?
Traditionally, an institute offers courses focused at professional and management development. In an academy, courses relate to increased technical abilities. Academies teach how to do the specialized functions relating to public works and institutes teach how to manage individuals or teams doing the work.
Who benefits from attending an institute?
The ideal audience is "current first-line supervisors and up" and "those aspiring to become leaders within the profession."
How will my chapter benefit from offering an institute program?
Offering an institute program can benefit your chapter in several ways:
How much time will it take?
Offering a chapter institute program requires a large commitment from your chapter. It is highly recommended you identify an ongoing steering/planning committee to oversee the program. Responsibilities of the committee could include: identification of content and speakers each year; marketing and recruitment of attendees; review and discussion of evaluation results; and onsite appearances at institute meetings.
How much will it cost my chapter?
Adaptability and flexibility to accommodate regional and cultural needs were a priority for the Public Works Institute Task Force. Therefore, as long as chapters address the 10 core areas of study and provide a minimum of 90 educational classroom contact hours of instruction, they have the flexibility to tailor the program to fit their specific needs. A Steering/Planning Committee is proposed to oversee and verify the institute objectives are met. Chapters will have the ability to determine the scheduling and emphasis of the core areas of study, registration fees, higher education affiliations/sponsorships, and the use of self-assessment tools and examinations. Fee determination associated with the Institute will be the responsibility of the chapter.
What do participants receive upon completion of the Institute?
Participants receive a certificate from National customized to reflect chapter designations. Chapters and other sponsoring eductional organizations may also award certificates.
What are the 10 core areas of study?
Who can I contact to help me get started?
If you are looking for additional information about starting a public works institute for your chapter, contact Becky Stein, (816) 595-5212 or firstname.lastname@example.com

Saturday night – with its midwinter chill – felt like the perfect night for warm storytelling.
In Kleinhans Music Hall, Jamestown native and renowned singer-songwriter Natalie Merchant joined the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra to regale the capacity crowd with an evening of well-told story-songs.
The evening's collaboration between Merchant and the orchestra was meant in large part to showcase songs from Merchant's 2010 double album "Leave Your Sleep," a beautifully conceived collection of 19th and 20th century British and American poetry set to original music by Merchant. But the set was also well-populated with gems from the artist's venerated solo albums, as well as her days with the 10,000 Maniacs.
From the beginning, Merchant commanded the stage with an easy confidence, her voice dipped in earthy charm and graceful wisdom. Soloist and ensemble opened with "Nursery Rhyme of Innocence and Experience," a stirring song about the passage of time as childhood gives way to maturity. Merchant's delivery was noticeably restrained, as if speaking in hushed tones and whispered words to clue the listener in on their great importance.
Upon performing "Life is Sweet," from the 1998 album "Ophelia," it was clear that though BPO Associate Conductor Matthew Kraemer was at the podium, there was also an insightful maestra onstage, interpreting the orchestra's fluid phrases with the detailed flourish of her hand. The singer's showmanship did not stop there – she often twirled, two-stepped, scurried or tangoed across the stage, in an attempt to make it her own.
At times, Merchant's efforts to create the right performance paradigm for her engrossing folk songs in this classical concert setting felt awkward. During a few of the selections, such as "Equestrian," the orchestral arrangement seemed more like background music than an integral part of the creative performance. In that moment, the orchestra needed to sound and feel like Merchant's band, and not just a quality orchestra playing notes on a page behind her.
"Beloved Wife," from Merchant's solo album debut, "Tigerlily," fared much better in that regard, though it was somewhat unsettling when she began to emphasize the downbeats of a crucial forte section with the forceful chop of her arm cutting through the air. In this instant, her maestra persona began to give the impression that she was conducting Kraemer as he conducted the orchestra – an unintended result that proved to distract from the music.
Elsewhere, Merchant and the BPO found the right collective harmony onstage. The orchestration for "Gold Rush Brides" brilliantly evoked the sprawling American plains, as the solemn majesty of trumpets accented the midtempo optimism of the song. Most importantly, the singer and her stories were always the focal point, and the BPO's sensitivity to her musical intuition and song-craft was key to making the concert a success.
In return, the soloist's obvious respect and admiration for the ensemble behind her made for some of the concert's most touching moments. During extended instrumental passages, Merchant would often walk over to the piano at stage right, and leaning against it – simply listen, in awe and quiet adoration. And during the moving "Verdi Cries," the sonic balance between singer and orchestra was at last achieved, as the musicians onstage became one entity, one cohesive band.
Natalie Merchant is a consummate storyteller, and the evening's set felt more like the passing down of a rich and storied aural history, chronicling the tales that tell our future as well as our past.

Weather Blog: Big Temperature Swings Ahead
Thank you for stopping by the Weather Watch 12 Blog! Thanksgiving week is here and with it a push of mild weather. In today's blog we discuss the warm-up, and when you can expect colder weather to return.
Let's start with a quick reminder. The 2012-2013 Weather Watch 12 winter forecast is available right now in video and text format. Check it out here!
No wintry weather in the forecast through at least Thanksgiving for our area. Mild to warm temperatures will spread across the Midwest as low pressure pushes into the northern Plains. Expect highs in the 50s through Tuesday, with a decent chance of touching 60 by Wednesday.
The HPC surface forecast map below is valid at 6am Wednesday. Notice the warm front(red in color) just to our west. This will lift north and deliver a warm late November day!
The Thanksgiving forecast keeps mild air in place. The only question for the holiday itself is the timing of clouds, a few showers, and a cold front. If the front slows, 60 will again be possible on Turkey Day, otherwise 50s look likely.
A shot of colder air is likely to arrive Friday, with highs in the 30s and 40s across the state. Even colder weather is lurking for the final days of November or early December. The 500mb GFS forecast map valid on 11/28 below is advertising a large and expansive upper level low pressure area to set up over Canada to close the month. This would act like a conveyor belt and funnel cold into the Midwest and Great Lakes.
We will have to watch this closely, if this were to occur highs would not get out of the 30s for possibly 2 days or more. Changes are on the horizon to close the month, in the meantime enjoy the next several days.
For the latest weather information, watch WISN 12 News. For updates throughout the day follow me on Twitter @jnelsonweather
Have a great day!
