Cristiano Ronaldo looked lonely while playing for Portugal on Wednesday. He didn't look like the normal Cristiano Ronaldo, a man who usually dazzles the crowd with every touch. As was the case during his previous game against Germany, he didn't play like he does at Real Madrid. He missed easy chances, he didn't see much of the ball, and he didn't appear to be enjoying himself. He had his friends Nani and Fábio Coentrão, but something was obviously missing.
What was missing is a skinny man with bulging eyes and greasy hair who wears the number 10.
Mesut writes a letter and sends it to Cristiano.
My vacation's ending. I'm coming home late.
The weather was fine and the ocean was great
And I can't wait to see you again.
Mesut Özil, meanwhile, is having a great time with Germany. He hasn't looked as fabulous as he usually does with Real Madrid, mainly because Lukas Podolski is no Cristiano Ronaldo, but he has nothing to complain about. The Germany camp probably feels like a nice vacation from Real Madrid. It's something different and he's enjoying himself.
Cristiano reads the letter and throws it away.
"No one here cares if you go or you stay.
I barely even noticed that you were away.
I'll see you or I won't, whatever."
Ronaldo would like to pretend that he doesn't need Özil. He's the star attraction. He's the greatest attacking player in the world, and Özil is just someone that he makes look like a star. He doesn't need Özil or anyone like him at either Portugal or Madrid. Or so he thinks.
Mesut sings a song as he sails through the sky.
The water looks bluer through his pretty eyes.
And everyone knows it whenever he flies,
And also when he comes down.
There's just something dazzling about the way Özil plays the game; when you're watching one of his teams, it's easy to just let your eyes drift to whatever he's doing. Watching his movements off the ball is easier than just following the ball around. There are more intelligent players, better passers and better athletes, but there's no one exactly like Özil. He's unique. That's what makes him wonderful to watch, and for anyone to play with.
Cristiano keeps his head up and walks through the street.
Every stranger and drifter he greets.
And shakes hands with every loner he meets
With a serious look on his face.
Ronaldo knows deep down exactly what Portugal is missing, and what he's missing at the international level. They need someone like Özil. When Ronaldo was a very young man, he had Manuel Rui Costa. As he was entering his adult years, he had Deco. He took them for granted, and now they're gone. Raul Meireles just isn't the same, but he puts on a face in interviews and acts like everything is OK.
Mesut arrives safely with suitcase in tow.
Carrying with him the good things we know.
A reason to live and a reason to grow.
To trust. To hope. To care.
Özil will continue to enjoy his time with Germany, whether the German side flames out of Euro 2012 in the quarterfinals or goes on to win the competition, but there's something more special than Germany waiting for him at Real Madrid. Cristiano and the others around him at Real Madrid are what really bring the best out of him. For all his brilliant performances in a Germany shirt, Özil's best work comes for his club. This vacation is fine, but he's headed home to something more important a month from now.
Cristiano sits alone on the hood of his car.
Without much regard to the moon or the stars.
Lazily killing the last of a jar
Of the strongest stuff you can drink.
Portugal is going to need a great performance and some luck to continue along in Euro 2012 and avoid heartbreak. If they lose to the Netherlands and go crashing out of the tournament, it's going to hurt. A lot. Ronaldo will be left wondering, along with the rest of the team, what could have been, and he'll do whatever he can do to quickly put it out of his mind as the club season approaches.
Mesut takes a taxi, a young man drives.
As soon as he sees him, hope fills his eyes.
But tears follow after, at the end of the ride,
'Cause he might never see him again.
Thomas Müller, Mario Gomez and Bastian Schweinsteiger will all be headed back to the same club team after the Euros, while Podolski heads to a quality Arsenal team, but none of them will be playing with a player like Özil for more than a week at a time until the World Cup. Come July, they will come to know a little bit of what Ronaldo's feeling right now, consciously or subconsciously. They'll be left wondering what it would be like to have Özil all the time.
Cristiano gets home, lucky to still be alive.
He screams o'er the sidewalk and into the drive.
The clock in the kitchen says 2:55,
And the clock in the kitchen is slow.
Portugal's Euro 2012 campaign will ultimately end in disappointment. They might do enough to finish second in their group, but they're not going to win the tournament. They simply aren't good enough. When they eventually flame out, Ronaldo will go back to Madrid with a terrible attitude. He won't be the first player to return to his club emotionally exhausted and less than the best version of himself after suffering international disappointment, and he certainly will not be the last.
Mesut has been waiting, patient and kind.
Just wanting a phone call or some kind of sign,
That the one that he cares for, who's out of his mind,
Will make it back safe to his arms.
Özil's Euro campaign might end differently. Germany might not win the tournament, but there's a very good chance that they do. If they do, he's going to go into Madrid camp in a much better mood than his teammates who aren't Sami Khedira. But he'll still be happy to see Cristiano, because those Germany wins took a combination of a lot of effort on his part and some luck to come off. Madrid wins just feel different. They're usually a bit more dominant, and Özil never has to be the best player on the pitch for Madrid. At club level, he needs Cristiano.
Club football is just plain better than international football. Because the talent is spread out among so many countries and because international teams can't just go purchase reinforcements, the best international teams aren't as good as the best club teams. A national team can play fairly average football and have Özil as its best player, but win international tournaments.
At club level, Özil can't be the star by himself. He needs Ronaldo as much as Ronaldo needs him.
Cristiano stumbles forward and leans in the door.
Weary head hung, eyes to the floor.
He says, "Love, I'm sorry", and Mesut says, "What for?
I'm yours and that's it, whatever.
I should not have been gone for so long.
I'm yours and that's it, forever."
Even if they don't know it consciously, or they're unwilling to admit it, Ronaldo and Özil are perfect compliments for each other at the highest level of football, and they'd be worse off without each other. Ronaldo might be able to get by at international level without Özil, and Özil has proven that he can certainly get by at international level without Ronaldo, but both are still looking a bit off at Euro 2012. They don't look like the best versions of themselves at all.
Ronaldo and Özil make up one of football's best arranged marriages, and it's one that should never be broken up. It's a shame that international football pulls them apart, because watching one without the other just isn't the same. This tournament has been fun, but it will be much more enjoyable to watch Ronaldo and Özil together again.
You're mine and that's it, forever.

You are never too young to learn, as we saw in the baby room at Rainbow Station in Henrico County. The babies were already learning valuable lessons through toys, sounds, and even a teacher's smile.
Rainbow Station owner Gail Johnson says this is important to get these little ones ready for school in just a few years.
"If a child gets to school ready to learn, then generally speaking, by third grade, he'll be able to read. This is critical, because if a child can read at third grade, then he has the skills necessary for fourth grade. In fourth grade, he must read to learn. He can no longer have any more time to learn to read, if he's going to remain successful," said Johnson.
Success is the goal, not only of Rainbow Station, but of its partner, Smart Beginnings.The organization is a coalition of public and private businesses as well as community members, working together to get children ready to succeed in school.
It also provides resources not only for the children, but their parents, too- like school readiness plans and even home visits.
Dr. Gary Rhodes is the chairman of Smart Beginnings Greater Richmond.
He is also the president of J. Sargeant Reynolds Community College, and says every year, he sees about 3000 high school graduates who are not ready for college,and says many times, it all stems back to when they were babies.
"The path to become not college ready didn't just start in early school or middle school or high school. It started way before that when they were at home and didn't have nutritional support that they needed. They didn't have the role models that they needed. The parents weren't informed about their health needs," said Dr. Rhodes.
Dr. Rhodes says since Smart Beginnings started in the area in 2006, that scenario is starting to change for the better, as well as the awareness of just how important early childhood education is.
He wants people to know that there are organizations here to help children begin with the end in mind.

May 11, 2010 - About a week ago, I blogged about Attorney General Cuccinelli's Civil Investigative Demand targeting Dr. Michael Mann during his time employed at the University of Virginia. (1)
Fortunately, UVa has been granted an extension in its effort to provide the information demanded by Cuccinelli. The university now has until July 26 to comply. (2)
Despite the opportunity to provide the rationale for this investigation (3), Cuccinelli has refused to elaborate fully on its necessity. In an interview with the Washington Post, Cuccinelli is quoted, "In light of the climategate emails, there does seem to at least be an argument to be made that a course was undertaken by some of the individuals involved, including potentially Michael Mann, where they were steering a course to reach a conclusion. Our act, frankly, just requires honesty." (4)
His statement is deliberately vague. In light of the climategate emails? There does seem to at least be an argument to be made? These are phrases that belong in lexicon of the blogosphere, not in the Office of the Attorney General of the Commonwealth of Virginia. What specifically led him to these conclusions? Has he actually examined any of the previous investigations targeting Dr. Mann to determine if there is reasonable suspicion?
Furthermore, within the last several days, other highly respectable groups have taken notice of Cuccinelli's actions.
A group of nineteen professors at Old Dominion University issued a statement indicating that Cuccinelli's actions "echo some of the worst offenses of the McCarthy era." (5)
Expanding further is Rachel Levinson, Senior Counsel of the American Association of University Professors. She writes, "In addition to demonstrating a profound misconception of the scientific process, the potential chilling effect of this tactic is staggering. Scientific theories are expanded, modified, or discarded with regularity; hauling up scientists on charges of fraud when they explore ideas that may ultimately be revised or disproven will put the brakes on scientific progress." (6)
Although UVa is planning on full compliance in accordance with state law, there was late word on Monday that the university is "looking at some options." (7)
Go Cavs.

SWINDON TOWN: Cooper expecting interest in Cox
5:00am Friday 10th January 2014 in Sport By Sam Morshead
MARK Cooper expects there to be interest in Lee Cox during the January transfer window when the midfielder recovers from recent injury and illness.
Cox, who has played just eight times in two years with Swindon Town since joining from Inverness Caledonian Thistle, is surplus to requirements at the County Ground and has been placed on the club's transfer list during the January window.
No approaches have as yet been forthcoming for the 23-year-old - as is the case with the rest of the Town squad, but Swindon manager Cooper thinks it is just a matter of time.
He told the Advertiser: "Money is tight in football and it'd take a lot of money to get any of our players.
"Coxy has been injured and it's difficult because people want to know that you're fit. I'm sure something will happen before the end of the window."
Troy Archibald-Henville's name is also understood to have been circulated around the Football League as being available for a loan move away from Wiltshire, while a number of Town's first-year professionals are still at other clubs.
Cooper updated the local press on their progress yesterday, saying: "Mark Francis is still on loan at Brackley. He went to Brackley and has not played one minute's football. We've tried to help them out but they've not played him in one minute's football. He'll be back with us after the weekend.
"Aaron Oakley and Alex Ferguson are at Chippenham but the weather's not helping that because they're not getting any games. I think they will stay there a while."

PLATTSBURGH — Sandra Baker's breathing problems had become debilitating.
Suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), emphysema and asthma, the Plattsburgh woman had gotten to the point where anxiety over the fear of not being able to breathe controlled her life.
"It affects you and your ability to breathe," Baker said of her medical conditions following a battle with lung cancer in 2000 that resulted in a partial loss of her lungs.
She defeated the cancer and has been in remission ever since, but it has only been recently that she has taken a more aggressive approach toward her breathing issues by signing up for the CVPH Medical Center's Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program.
"This program is wonderful," she said of the eight-week exercise and educational service, which concentrates on learning about pulmonary disease and on combating the effects the disease has on a person's ability to breathe easily.
"It's designed to help improve your respiratory system," Baker said, emphasizing her new-found understanding of the way she can help control the impact of COPD and other breathing issues. "The exercises are designed to help keep you going."
COPD is a lung disease that is typically caused by damage to the lungs over a long period of time, often as a result of smoking. Tobacco smoke and other irritants damage and destroy fibers that carry air to the lungs.
Baker had smoked for 35 years before her bout with lung cancer, but her colleague in the rehabilitation program, Jane Irwin, was not a smoker and believes her problems with COPD are connected more to her career in beauty shops at a time when chemicals were not as controlled as they are today.
"I would get to a point where I just couldn't breathe," said Irwin, a Peru native, of her growing respiratory problems. "It was an awful feeling, not knowing if you were going to be able to catch your breath.

With Adrian Peterson out for the foreseeable future, the Christian Ponder's chances to put up bigger fantasy numbers have surely improved. Unfortunately for his owners, there was little sign of that on Sunday in the Minnesota Vikings' loss to the Atlanta Falcons.
Ponder was 17 of 25 for just 186 yards and a touchdown. He didn't throw an interception, but also didn't do anything remotely spectacular.
The rookie took over the starting job in week 7, making his starting debut against the Green Bay Packers. This week against the Falcons he had to shoulder even more of the burden of a talent-deprived Vikings offense.
In five games played, Ponder has completed 75 of 144 passing attempts for 955 yards. He has five touchdown passes and six interceptions, stats not out of line with expectations of a rookie quarterback. Fake Teams has Ponder ranked at number 19 on the week 12 quarterback rankings.

Makopolos is the lead character in this film, which views the Madoff case from his perspective. The film is based on his best-selling book about his involvement in the Madoff affair.
Documentary Drama
With all that dark drama at play, it's no surprise that filmmaker Jeff Prosserman chose to cloak his documentary in film noir style. It's an obvious choice for assaying to capture and exploit every moment of suspense in this sordid story of major league fraud.
Prosserman taps noir style in several ways. Some of the film is shot in black and white, for example, and noir's shadowy lighting and characteristic camera angles are used. And, noir resonates when when Makopolos and his team of investigators, introduced for their on camera interviews, are positioned side by side, facing the camera, as if they were standing in a police line up. At first, they tell their stories as though they were testifying on camera, up close and personal and directly to you. Then, while their commentaries are continued as voice over narration, their on camera close ups segue into revelatory archival footage or into reenactments that illustrate various salient plot points in the decade-long Makopolos vs Madoff saga.
Archival footage shows Madoff going about the business of fraud, and includes his arrest and perp walk. Reenactments establish dramatic details, such as guns being loaded and documents being sorted, studied and presented as evidence.
The film's editing emphasizes its drama, and there's barely a moment when suspenseful music doesn't underscore the images on screen. Typically noir.
Style Over Substance
Mind you, Chasing Madoff would not be an easy documentary to make, especially if it's expected to be suspenseful. After all, the story -- including its cast of characters and denouement -- is well known thanks to widespread and ongoing media coverage, and to Makopolos' own best-selling book, Nobody Would Listen, upon which the movie is based. The book, in which Makopolos clearly reveals his character and personality, also eliminates most elements of surprise about the film's leading character. And, much of the archival footage has already been viewed over and over again. So, where do you go for suspense and drama? Again, film noir is an obvious choice.
Unfortunately, in Chasing Madoff, the ubiquitous noir elements, though effectively realized, simply seem to emphasize the film's shortcomings -- especially its repetitive nature.
Prosserman scores the same points so often he undermines their value.
Stylistic Shortcomings
Over and over, the voices of Makpolos and his cronies -- Frank Casey and others -- spin similar stories about their investigative adventures. Time and again, they recount their roles in the discovery of Madoff's corruption, tell of frustrations about being ignored by authorities, and declare Makopolos' almost missionary-like sense of purpose. But, what's established here in several short sentence takes up lots of time and scores of shots in the film.
Overly overtly dramatic, the documentary hammers home plot points and characters' feelings, but we're never galvanized by the scenario's development, nor do we feel a build in the intensity of tension and urgency.
In fact, the dramatic hoopla brought by noir style creates an almost satirical atmosphere -- one which is, I assume, unintentional.
Marking Makopolos
In real life, Makopolos is clearly dedicated to justice. Worthy of respect and praise, he's the hero who tried to end Madoff's reign of malfeasance.
On camera, Makopolos is appealingly quirky, but lacks the charisma of a noir leading man. Sadly, presenting him as such takes away some of the gravitas he undoubtedly has in person.
Missing the Message
While Chasing Madoff delivers Makopolos' unique perspective on Madoff's fraud and, more importantly, exposes authorities and the system that failed to curtail it, the documentary isn't a compelling film. But it's important. See it for its facts, not its style.

Agreement to result in enhanced, long-term collaboration between Arizona-based Banner and The University of Arizona
TUCSON, Ariz., June 26, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- In a historic move that will transform the health care landscape in Arizona, the University of Arizona Health Network (UAHN) and the University of Arizona (UA) executed a Principles of Agreement document with Banner Health, to create a statewide health care organization and a comprehensive new model for academic medicine. This ground-breaking agreement will formalize discussions and is intended to lead to final definitive agreements sometime in the fall.
The proposed transaction is anticipated to generate approximately $1 billion in new capital, academic investments, and other consideration and value beneficial to UA and the community.
The anticipated transition of 6,300 employees working at UAHN's two hospitals, the health plan and the medical group into Banner will create Arizona's largest private employer with more than 37,000 employees.
Today's action follows votes from the UAHN and Banner boards of directors in support of proceeding with negotiations, as well as a vote by the Arizona Board of Regents (ABOR) to authorize UA to also move forward with UAHN and Banner. The parties will now work together towards final definitive agreements, anticipated to be completed and signed in September of this year. The definitive agreements must also be approved by ABOR and the boards of directors of UAHN and Banner. The proposed transaction is expected to close a few months following the signing of the definitive agreements.
"We are impressed by the thoughtfulness and thoroughness that has driven the UAHN board process in determining how best to meet the future needs of those they serve. In addition, this agreement strengthens and can accelerate the discovery efforts of our Colleges of Medicine in Tucson and Phoenix, leading to medical advances," said ABOR Chair Rick Myers.
Proposed transition key elements:
"When these respected organizations unite, the potential for delivering top-tier academic medicine throughout the state, recognized nationally, becomes a reality," said Steve Lynn, UAHN Chairman of the Board.
Added Michael Waldrum, M.D., UAHN President and CEO, "I'm especially pleased that this proposed transition will infuse stability and energy into our organization. This will benefit our patients, faculty, staff and students as we pursue excellence. Ultimately, we're moving from a situation in which we can only maintain status quo, to a situation in which we can create a premier Academic Medical Center."
This proposed transition is occurring amidst a period of profound transformation in health care that is driving organizations to adopt innovative ways to not only improve health care with a strong emphasis on wellness, but to do it at a lower cost.
"With health care here in Arizona and across the nation facing new challenges and opportunities every day, this agreement will allow the Arizona Health Sciences Center and the entire UA to advance our mission to provide education, conduct research and enhance patient care that will transform healthcare at the state and national level," said Ann Weaver Hart, President of the University of Arizona. "Combining the world-class care at UAHN and Banner will better meet the needs of patients in Arizona and throughout the region, while also providing tremendous learning experiences for students at the University of Arizona. By forming this collaboration we will accomplish more for Arizona's residents and for the advancement of medical knowledge and practice than we could do in isolation."
The University of Arizona Colleges of Medicine and Banner Health have a long history of successful affiliation through the Graduate Medical Education program at Banner Good Samaritan Medical Center in Phoenix. Each year, Banner and the UA Colleges of Medicine collaborate in the training of nearly 260 physicians in five residency programs and in numerous fellowships.
Added Peter S. Fine, President and CEO of Banner, "We're honored that the UAHN Board of Directors strategically sought Banner to create Arizona's first statewide health system to help strengthen medical education. Banner's vision is to sustain a position of national leadership. This opportunity to join with a premier academic organization significantly advances Banner towards this vision. In addition, we're especially mindful of UAHN's legacy of excellence in Tucson and throughout the state, which must be maintained, nourished and strengthened."

Bullying a priority for SRVUSD
Original post made on Jan 14, 2013
Read the full story here Web Link posted Monday, January 14, 2013, 8:36 AM

This year, when I reported incidents about my daughter being bullied to the school principal, I was dismissed as being a crazy parent and my daughter was labeled as being overly sensitive. So, I called and wrote a letter to the Superintendent of Schools. I was referred to a gentleman in the superintendant's office, who once again dismissed my complaint. He actually told me that "kids will be kids" and if I was concerned, I could move my "sensitive" child somewhere else. Go figure!

Maybe you should start with the teachers who play favorites in the classroom and set the example that it is OK to treat others badly!!!!
on Jan 14, 2013 at 2:13 pm
@Glenn (and Sara):
In late 2010, the SRVUSD Board adopted anti-bullying policies 5137 and 5145.3, set forth here: Web Link When my daughters attended MV and SRV, both were active in anti-bullying student initiatives, and I felt I owed it to them by testimony to suggest to the Board that those policies sounded awfully passive. They really didn't commit the District officials to do much of anything active or positive to promote acceptance -- just take incidents seriously, in arrears. I said it was a Policy tailor-made to sit in somebody's file drawer, and make no difference whatsoever.
I was assured, at the time, that at the implementing stage, age-and-grade-appropriate affirmative activities would be undertaken at every level to ensure that the policy was clearly understood by students and staff alike, and to foster the positive learning environment those policies call-for.
Now, it's been two years -- howsabout a follow-up story -- to examine whether those positive implementing steps have been taken (or conversely, which file cabinets contain the policies)?

This weekend, television history was made. It was gripping. It was epic. It was exciting, intense and groundbreaking. And it was something fans of the show had anxiously anticipated for years.
No, I am not talking about the series finale of "Breaking Bad." Although, the above description pretty-well sums that up too.
What I'm actually referring to is an even bigger TV shocker. For the first time since it became an NBC affiliate in 1995, Salt Lake City television station KSL aired a first-run episode of "Saturday Night Live," the award-winning sketch comedy show currently in its 39th season. SNL is now part of KSL's lineup.
I have been a fan of this show since I can remember, and started watching it long before I ever understood the content. For example, as a young teenager I would often babysit on the weekends to earn money. This was back before cable was mainstream and I usually had three channels to choose from to keep me company after the kids went to bed and before their parents came home. SNL was my program of choice on those Saturday nights. I didn't often understand the adult-level humor or political skits, but it was better than what the other two stations offered. And, at least for a brief moment in time, I thought I had learned something that would help my family while watching the show.
You see, my parents had been discussing getting my older sister a car when she turned 16. It was the dinner-table topic for months, and we all had a vested interest in the final decision. My dad, who didn't want to spend the money. My mom, who suggested he could be the one to shuttle her from place to place and share his vehicle with her. My sister, who desperately wanted to have her own car and not rely on my parents for transportation. Myself, who mistakenly thought my sister would drive me places too. There was a massive tug of war happening between convenience and finance in our home. We all talked about it endlessly and it was obvious from my dad's comments we were on a budget.
It was during this critical decision period I was babysitting and had watched an episode of SNL, which aired a "commercial" featuring a car made of clay. It was called the Adobe and one of its selling points was that you could wreck it and never need a body shop. You just got out and sculpted the clay back to its pre-dent form. But even better than fixing your own fender was the sticker price of just $179!
At 13, I didn't know much about finances, but I was pretty sure my parents had $179 and I was convinced this car would be the answer to my family's conundrum. Ecstatic, I called them after seeing it late one Saturday night, waking them from a dead sleep, screaming into the phone with excitement. It just happened they interpreted my scream as terror, and less than two minutes later my dad was at the house where I was babysitting. With a shotgun. In his underwear.
And that's how I learned some of the commercials on SNL are actually parodies.
Despite that rather obnoxious jolt, I have remained pretty loyal to the show over the years and have even been fortunate enough to get tickets and see it performed live in New York. But of course, since calling Utah home, I have not been fortunate enough to actually see this program following the nightly news on Saturdays. That's because until last weekend, KSL has never aired it.
According to the station, in the past, KSL chose not to carry SNL due to the station's very successful sports programming in that time slot. Skeptics disagree, suggesting the denial was more about the show's content, which at times can be raunchy and if nothing else, left-leaning (one of the top-10 sins in Utah). They also point to the station's history of choosing not to air shows with content its owner, the LDS church, considers immoral. Shows like "The New Normal," "Hannibal" and "The Playboy Club."
I'm not sure whether KSL decided Utah's Zion Curtain was best left to tend the bar, NBC thumped its chest a bit or this decision really was just about ratings. Frankly, the Why doesn't matter as much as the end result: SNL is finally on KSL. When it should be.
Utah gets laughed at for being too prude all the time. Some of the things we do write their own comedy skits. But now, we actually get to be in on the joke, at the same time the rest of the country is.

I was thrilled to join the StormTrack11 Weather team in May 2011! Coming from Macon, Georgia where I was both a meteorologist as well as a reporter, I've worked through some of the most severe weather I've ever seen in my life. After a little less than two years in the south, I'm happy to call Toledo home and only be a short drive from my family and hometown in Western New York.
It's hard to pinpoint the moment I decided to become a meteorologist because I remember loving all aspects of weather my entire life. Of course, I lived for the snow days and winter storms of my hometown, but growing up, my family also traveled a lot, so seeing the range of weather from Buffalo's blizzards to the severe weather of the Midwest allowed me to develop a passion for forecasting early.
A desire to learn more and share my interest with others led me to Al Roker's Alma Mater, SUNY Oswego, where I saw waterspouts, amazing thunderstorms, and eleven feet of snow over the course of just three days!!
Broadcasting became an option for me later in my college career, so I focused mostly on my meteorology degree as well as my math minor up until I joined the campus news station my senior year. From there, my passion for weather grew exponentially, and I eventually made my way to Macon where my forecasting was tested on a regular basis. Before leaving Georgia, I helped forecast for over 5 severe tornadic storm events in the course of one single month.
Here at WTOL, I split weekday forecasting responsibilities with fellow meteorologist, Ryan Wichman during the week for WTOL 11 News at Noon, and I wake up with you every weekend for WTOL 11 Your Morning Saturday at 6 a.m. and 8 a.m. and WTOL 11 Your Morning Sunday at 7 a.m.
My number one goal is to provide YOU, my audience, with the most accurate and clear forecast that I can. I feel blessed to be able to do what I love for a living each day and to be able to share it with you.
I moved to Toledo with my rescue dog, Ginger, and together she and I love to spend time outdoors and meet new people.

text: Times are still tough but Americans will not be denied their wine. A still-fragile economy continued its recovery as the wine industry maintained its upswing to mark the 18th consecutive year of growth. Consumer confidence and innovation by producers contributed to these gains. New varietals such as sweet reds and higher end blends have engaged consumers. According to the Beverage Information Group's recently released 2O12 Wine Handbook, wine consumption gained 3% to reach 312.4 million 9-liter cases in 2O11. Domestic wines continued to outpace imports. The US has a reputation of being a better value than imports so wines from California, Oregon and Washington fared particularly well. Imports did see some pockets of success, namely wines from Italy, Argentina and Spain. Millennial consumers are also helping the imported category due to their interest in lesser known varietals and willingness to experiment. High-end varietals saw a significant boost. With more confidence in the recovering economy, consumers are dining out more where higher priced offerings are in demand. Total wine dollar sales grew to $27.8 billion last year, with on-premise accounting for 43.8% – a 2.8% increase from 2O1O. "As consumers discover new varietals, regions and price points, overall wine consumption is expected to continue to increase over the next five years," according to Adam Rogers, senior research analyst for the Beverage Information Group based in Norwalk, Connecticut. "The wine industry is predicted to reach 317.3 million cases by 2O12."

Having dined at the trendy Charlotte Street branch of Roka I was somewhat dubious whether the Canary Whalf branch could live up to the same expectations – well I wasn't disappointed. Having spend an hour ice skating on the rink directly opposite the restaurant, my partner, our 6 year old daughter and I went into Roka for dinner – our request of a window table was acknowledged and granted. The food, what can I say – was out of this world, and presented really quickly. We had a mix of various sushi (spicy tuna, yellowtail and asparagus, salmon/avocado etc) – all of which were delightful, the yellowtail sashimi in truffle sauce was outstanding – our six year old hogged this particular plate to herself! The black cod, is expensive, but worth every penny. At nearly £200 with alcohol it is not a cheap night out – but the food and atmosphere (hedkandi type relaxed but clubby music on the Saturday night we visited) is well worth splashing out. Do book – the restaurant was packed.

Dolly, the fourth named storm of the 2014 Atlantic hurricane season, is expected to make landfall in Mexico.
After three weeks of looking, a Loveland teen returns to her home.
Around midnight on February 7, Grace Pfister, 16, left the home she shares with her parents and her eight siblings.
Her family knew Grace had left willingly but they were worried since she had little cash and no cell phone.
Right after she ran away, her family set up the Help Find Grace Facebook page. It has about 3,100 likes.
She was found safe on February 25. Her family did not disclose the location where she was found but they say she's safe.

By ROBIN CAUDELL
---- — PLATTSBURGH — Warm Maple Brussels Sprout is a tasty side dish for this holiday season.
Kathy Murnane serves it up on Thanksgiving.
"I cut it out of a newspaper years and years ago," said Murnane, who lives in Plattsburgh. "I have had it for a long, long time. I found it one time when I was looking for a recipe, and I said 'What a great recipe to enter in a contest?'"
She did just that and won the 2011 Press-Republican Recipe Contest and Cookbook.
"We do like brussels sprout. With all these ingredients — maple syrup, walnut and bacon — it really makes it quite special."
A married mother of three and the grandmother of six, Murnane has a lot of special someones to cook for.
"I love cooking for my grandchildren. They all have their favorite recipes," she said.
She learned how to cook from the women folk in her family.
"I had a grandmother and three aunts who were just marvelous cooks. I learned a lot from them. My grandmother lived with us some of the time growing up. I just learned to love to cook."
Murnane grew up in Little Falls. She and her husband, Thomas, relocated to Plattsburgh in 1958 when he took a job as a construction engineer with John J. Harvey Co. to build the North Country Shopping Center.
Thirty years ago, she was a runner-up with her cherry jam, ham and yams dish in a SUNY Plattsburgh cook-off.
"I don't know where that recipe is," she said.
With a little looking, she easily locates the recipe for the warm maple brussels sprout.
Ingredients are:
▶ 2 lbs. brussels sprout
▶ 6 bacon slices
▶ ½ cup walnuts
▶ ¾ cup maple syrup
▶ Salt and pepper to taste
Remove core from sprouts. Cut in half, and slice thin.
Blanche sprouts in simmering water and shock in an ice-water bath.
In small frying pan, fry bacon until crisp. Drain on paper towel. Crumble in dish. Set aside.
Reserve a couple of tablespoons of bacon fat or use vegetable oil.
In bacon fat, toss walnuts until you can smell them roasting. This takes just a few minutes.
Add blanched brussels sprout and toss.
Add maple syrup (use ½ cup) and continue to toss until all sprouts are coated.
Season and serve hot.
Garnish with crumbled bacon.
"I use hickory bacon," Murnane said. "You serve it with dinner. It's a vegetable side dish. I usually make it around Thanksgiving time in the fall when the vegetables are nice."

rates (USD)

vacation rental description
Lahaina Oceanfront Treasure is just that! From the outside this looks like an old historic house. We are in the National Historic boundary of Lahaina so we desire to preserve some of the history and culture. Once you open the gate the "treasure" is astounding! The house and Ohana (guest house) has been completely refurbished. Inside you see that you have the only private beach lagoon in West Maui.
Located on Front Street in Lahaina, you are just steps away from all of the best art galleries, restaurants and shops. The Banyan Tree park and The Lahaina Boat Harbor just a quarter mile away. Ka'anapali and Kapalua Beach resorts are a short drive to the north.
Lahaina was the capital of the Kingdom of Hawaii during the 1800s. In the 1900s Lahaina became the center of the global whaling industry with many sailing ships located anchored in its waterfront. Today, Front Street has been ranked one of the "Top Ten Greatest Streets" by the American Planning Association.
Lahaina Oceanfront Treasure's main house has three Bedrooms, 1 full and 2 half baths, and an office. The fully equipped gourmet kitchen is right on the water! You will LOVE to cook here! This home has the amenities of flat screen T.V.s in the living room and each bedroom, high speed wireless internet, business center, stereo, DVD & VCR players. The Ohana has its own kitchen, bathroom and outdoor lanai. There is a flat screen TV, DVD and CD players. Outside there is a wrap around stone wall with an outdoor shower.
There is a wonderful patio, equipped with a gas BBQ for your relaxation. You will be amazed at the gorgeous sunsets!!!! Be sure to stay after the sun has set because then the sun rays reflect underneath the clouds to bring you an absolutely fabulous, colorful romantic experience.
During the whale season you will see whales playing just a few hundred yards off shore! And yes, you will see rainbows!
The home comes with surfboards and kayaks which you can launch right from the house. Protected by the reef, the water here is quite shallow and safe. Baby Beach (so called because mothers take their children to this safest of all beaches) is only about a hundred yards away so you can just wade or walk there!!!
Thank you,
Paul and Eddene
Permit Number: STWM2013/0000Please note that the entire property is rented to one group at a time. The maximum occupancy of the main house is six guests including children over age 2 years. Maximum occupancy of the ohana is two guests including children over age 2 years. Children under age 2 years at time of travel are not counted in the occupancy limitations.

METHUEN — An elderly man who threatened to shoot the next person through his door was secured without incident this morning and transported to the hospital.
City police blocked off the 700 block of Lowell Street between the National Guard Armory and the Dracut line while attempting to contact the man, whom police said was armed. He eventually came out of the house unarmed on his own.
The regional SWAT was called to assist, but was cancelled before they arrived. No one was injured during the roughly two-hour incident.

Indie Next ListJuly 2012
Fifteen seconds is all it took to cause an innocent man to start running for his life. The train of set-ups is so believable that it is no wonder that the police want to shoot Dr. Henry Steadman on sight. We are taken along for a white-knuckle ride as irrefutable evidence against him piles up and Henry's only hope to survive and save his daughter is to avoid capture so he can find out who is framing him and why. This is the best yet from Andrew Gross. -- Nancy McFarlane, Fiction Addiction, Greenville, SC
Gross delivers an electrifying, lightning-paced story of a desperate man on the run, trying to save his family from the faceless enemy that's determined to destroy them all. A gripping tale of a life turned upside-down is a must for fans of James Patterson, David Baldacci, and Lisa Gardner.
About the Author
Andrew Gross is the author of the New York Times and international bestsellers Eyes Wide Open, The Blue Zone, The Dark Tide, Don't Look Twice, and Reckless. He is also coauthor of five number one bestsellers with James Patterson, including Judge & Jury and Lifeguard. His books have been translated into more than twenty-five languages. He lives in Westchester County, New York, with his wife, Lynn.
Praise for 15 Seconds…
"A total white knuckle, stay-up-all-night thrill ride. Enjoyed the heck out of it!"
-Harlan Coben
"Gripping...coming up on the rails behind Harlan Coben and Lee Child.... Very diverting."
-Evening Standard (UK)
"An intensive manhunt....Thrillingly realistic with a surprising resolution.

Rats as big as cats. That's the problem a woman in Englewood says she is battling in the yard next door and she says she can't get the city to do anything about it.
The underlying problem in this case is an abandoned home that has become a dumping ground for people's trash and because of that, a magnet for rodents. It has neighbors frustrated, and the city claiming there's nothing it can do.
It's easy to see why people living in the 7000-block of South Parnell are upset. All summer long they say people have tossed garbage in the backyard of this abandoned home, providing a perfect breeding ground for rats.
They're rats that Ruthie Shivers says, in some cases, can intimidate the cats.
"They're big rats," Shivers says. "There goes a cat right there. If that cat sees the rats, that cat will turn around and go the other way, cause the cats are afraid of the rats."
We waited and looked for rats, but did not see any by early evening. They come out much later, Shivers said, often running across her backyard.
The house, at 7047 South Parnell, has been abandoned for about 7 years she said. It's one of three right around her home.
Shivers said she has asked the city to do something to clean up the mess and is still waiting.
"I talked to my ward superintendent and he said they'll take care of it, but nothing has been done," explains Shivers.
We called the number listed on a sign on the home and no one called back. The listed website doesn't exist. Neighbors are getting fed up.
"What can you say? This is Englewood, I guess. Nothing is happening over here," says neighbor Ronald Coley.
FOX 32 spoke on the phone with 6th Ward Alderman Roderick Sawyer and he said because it's private property, the city can't just go and clean up the mess and there are many home like that, making it impractical for the city to clean up so many messes.
He said if residents are concerned they should work together to clean up the garbage themselves.

Gloucester Daily Times
---- — To the editor:
It never fails, each spring I get the "planting fever" and can't wait to purchase the plant I've been thinking about over the winter months.
There seems to be no cure on the horizon for this condition — and, to be honest, I hope there never is.
For nearly 25 years, I've planted countless trees and shrubs and learn something new each year that improves my planting practices. Perhaps the most important lesson I've learned is the proper depth that the hole needs to be dug for installation.
To determine the proper depth, it is imperative to first remove the "packaging material" (plastic pot, burlap, wire, twine, etc.) The next step is to clear away any soil that is covering the root flare. Now you can measure from the root flare to the bottom of the root ball to find out how deep you need to dig the hole. My best advice is to "plant high and stay alive".
The width of the hole should be three times the width of the root ball. That brings me to another important lesson, back filling. My recommendation is to remove one third to half of the excavated existing soil then mix the remaining soil with loam and amendments to adjust the nutrient levels as well as to feed microbial activity. This lesson involves learning some basic soil science and will greatly determine the future health of the plant.
In terms of what tree or shrub to plant, I highly recommend using native plant material to greatly increase the rate of survivability. My top five examples of these recommended trees and shrubs are:
Shadblow Serviceberry— deciduous white flowering shrub/small tree, purplish fruit in summer.
Paper Birch — deciduous ornamental tree with white exfoliating bark, yellow fall color.
Eastern Red Cedar — upright evergreen shrub, dark green foliage, interesting bark.
Winterberry Holly — deciduous shrub, clean deep green foliage, outstanding red/orange berries.
Highbush Blueberry — deciduous fruiting shrub, under utilized for ornamental value, fun for kids.

Save MKE Alley Cats
I am in support of legislation that will allow caring people who live in your district to humanely reduce the population of free-roaming cats in the City of Milwaukee. Called Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR), this program is the only effective way of managing an outdoor cat population in an urban area like Milwaukee. It not only reduces cat overpopulation, but also controls the spread of disease, reduces community complaints related to nuisance mating behaviors and saves taxpayers' money. Please introduce legislation that will support TNR, Milwaukee's community members and its cats!

BTC Muay Thai Fighters by Buffalo Training Center - almost 4 years ago
"I own Buffalo Training Center, which is a very successful competitive Mixed Martial Arts gym. We have tried every printer in our city, and none of them provided quality shirts or fast delivery. I went online and found custom ink. 2 weeks later, I've almost sold out of all of the T-shirts I ordered! Here are a few of the fighters sporting their Custom Ink Muay Thai shirts!"
