College Hockey:Maine Bounces Back for Needed Win
ORONO, Maine — After one of the worst defeats at Alfond in recent history, Maine snagged a pivotal and decisive 5-2 victory on Saturday night against Providence.
Anchored by the inspired play of netminder Ben Bishop, who recorded 22 saves, the No.12 Black Bears (15-9-0, 8-7-0) snapped a three-game losing streak and denied the No. 13 Friars (14-8-2, 10-5-1) their first season sweep of Maine. With the hard fought win, the Black Bears were able to rebound from an embarrassing shutout defeat the previous night against the Friars. For Maine, the game represented not only a chance to avoid its second straight weekend sweep but a chance to recapture its season.
"We had a long meeting today," said Maine forward Derek Damon. "We really had to reevaluate ourselves and look at each other in the mirror. There were a lot of things that were said about guys needing to look at each other in the mirror and come out with a better attitude tonight."
Whatever was said apparently worked.
Looking rejuvenated and refocused, the Black Bears took the ice Saturday night a completely different team.
"This (game) was huge," said Maine captain Greg Moore. "I was very happy with the work ethic the whole game. Last night we had the work ethic but we weren't being poised with the puck, we were kind of just running around because we were desperate."
In of the most emotional games at Alfond this season, the Black Bears jumped on the Friars from the start. Playing without key players Michel Leveille and Bret Tyler, Maine head coach Tim Whitehead shook up the lines and saw it pay it off.
"I think the best thing about tonight was how the guys pulled together with their backs to the wall and a couple key guys out," said Whitehead. "I was proud of them."
Not to mention the win had pretty heavy implications on the rest of the season. With Maine already ranked low in the Pair Wise rankings, a loss would have been disastrous.
Now, however, Whitehead and company are back in the thick of it as far as the Hockey East standings go.
"We have drawn even with Vermont, so that is good," said Whitehead. "A couple good squads there are tied for fifth, but it's a good example of how hard our league is and how hard it's going to be for us to keep fighting our way up. But we are determined to do that."
That determination was evident halfway through the opening period when Damon registered the first goal of the night. The tally, which came at 11:48, saw Damon sneak free of the Providence defense and tap in a loose puck right at netminder Tyler Sims' feet. Josh Soares and Moore received assists on the score.
"It was nice to finally get the first goal," said Bishop. "We have been having trouble a lot letting the first goal or a late goal in the first period, so we played strong the whole first and the whole second period. It was great to get the lead again."
With both squads holding even for the remainder of the period, Maine knew the second period would be the difference.
"It was really important for us to come out in the second period," said Moore. "Out of the last three or four games the second period has been tough for us. Obviously the entire team knew that was something we had to focus on."
Continuing to draw several penalties on the Friars, Maine garnered another power-play goal from Josh Soares at 4:07 of the second.
"We had some great movement on that power play," said Soares. "Greg had the shot and everybody went one way and the puck just ended up on my stick. It was an open net and I just put it in."
Damon started the play by sending a shot in from the point that bounced off of the boards onto Moore's stick.
"Obviously it helped that we drew a lot of penalties in the second period because we worked hard," said Moore. "To be on the power play on the whole did help with momentum in the second."
Providence captain Tony Zancanaro felt the penalties were the difference in the outcome.
"We just didn't come disciplined," said Zancanaro. "If we had discipline it would have been a different game. Most of them were good penalties and calls, but you just can't give up nine penalties to any Hockey East teams."
The eventual game winner came eight minutes later, when Travis Ramsey pilfered the net for the first time this year.
"It was actually my first goal here at the Alfond," said Ramsey. "I haven't been playing too well. I just closed my eyes and shot it."
The laser, which beat Sims over his glove shoulder, saw Ramsey collect passes from Keith Johnson and Wes Clark.
The Black Bears weren't done yet though. Only 48 seconds later at 12:48 Keenan Hopson popped in his own goal. On the goal, a fallen Sims could nothing but watch as Hopson squirted the puck through a traffic jam in front of the net. After the score, Billy Ryan who just recorded an assist rushed down to the student section and gave an emotional fist pump.
"I was just getting the fans pumped up and just showing them how much we appreciate them being here," said Ryan. "After last night we didn't expect it to be sold out right away and it was. That gave us a big boost from the first minute."
Providence, however, had one last rally to stage.
Down 4-0, the Friars quickly scored two goals at 10:01 and 12:59 of the third period with an extra attacker on the ice. The goals came from Jon Rheault and Zancanaro, respectively.
"We got to do whatever we can in that situation," said Zancanaro. "We got to come at them. You're down 4-0 you have to do everything and throw everything at them."
The gutsy move to pull the goalie (Sim's replacement Stephen Ritter at the time) with more than 10 minutes left was a win-win situation according to Whitehead.
"I thought it was great," said Whitehead. "They had nothing to lose at that point. They could only gain things. It helped them a bit and gave them momentum, but we stayed the course."
With Providence pressing, Bishop slammed the door.
"I thought Ben Bishop did a nice job, he was aggressive but in control, and that's the balance he has been looking for lately" said Whitehead. "It's not easy as a goalie. The pressure is on you, especially as a young goalie like our two guys. I was very proud of Ben. He responded in a tough situation and he played at his best. He delivered."
Moore tacked on an empty-net goal for Maine at 18:58.
With the loss, Providence now drops eight points behind Boston College for first place in the conference and into a three-way tie for third place.

Alcohol misuse is the primary risk factor for injury in the United States, and health care providers are positioned to deliver alcohol interventions to individuals admitted to health care facilities for injury treatment. This dissertation uses latent variable statistical modeling of data from a clinical trial conducted in a Level-1 trauma center to identify profiles of patients who experienced the greatest benefit from Screening and Brief Interventions (SBI) for alcohol. A better understanding about which injured patients respond best to SBI will increase the ability of policymakers, health care administrators and clinicians to make potentially necessary changes to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of medical centers delivering SBI services to injured patients.

As Memorial Day weekend approaches, no doubt you'll be in full grilling, entertaining and drinking mode, and we'd like to arm you with a summer cocktail staple - with a twist, of course.
You might have noticed a delightful Art Deco bottle behind the bar at your favorite watering hole lately. That bottle of deliciousness is St. Germain ($32), an elderflower liqueur harvested from white elderflower blossoms grown on trees at the foothills of the Alps. Sweet, fragrant and fruity, St. Germain is heaven in champagne, white wine, or any clear spirit. Any well stocked home bar should have a bottle of this, and a little goes a long way so you'll have it for quite sometime.
One of our favorite ways to serve St. Germain is in a white sangria. Sangria, a wine punch from Spain, is the perfect summer drink - consisting typically of wine, fruit, sweetener, brandy, ice and soda. Try our variation, we know you'll soon be a sangria - and St. Germain - convert!
1 Bottle Dry White Wine
1 cup St-Germain
2 Peaches, sliced
6 Strawberries, sliced
6 Raspberries
2 Oranges, sliced
Stir ingredients in a pitcher. Allow fruit to soak in the mixture between 3 and 8 hours, or optimally overnight. Serve in an ice-filled glass and top with soda.
The Libbey 7 Piece Sangria Set ($20) is the perfect compliment to your new drink. This set is simple, practical, and affordable and great for sangria - the fruit will serve as all the sparkle you need. Now get to drinking!

Mitral valve prolapse
Lawrence Kline, MD, is a board-certified cardiologist on staff at Banner Estrella Medical Center.
Question: I recently visited the Emergency Department with chest pains and palpitations and the doctor who saw me said he believed I had mitral-valve prolapse and that I should talk to my cardiologist right away. Did I have a heart attack? And why didn't my primary care doctor find this condition sooner?
Answer: First, mitral-valve prolapse is not a disease or a heart attack. Mitral-valve prolapse is a condition that occurs when the valve between the top left chamber of your heart and the lower left chamber of your heart, the mitral valve, doesn't open and close properly thus providing you with symptoms that can mimic a heart attack, such as shortness of breath, chest tightening, palpitations, or fatigue.
The mitral valve actually is made of two flaps of tissue that open and close to allow blood to flow in one direction—from the top left chamber down to the bottom left chamber. Mitral valve prolapse means the flaps have an abnormal billowing motion backward into the top left chamber. This can cause a clicking sound and a murmur, which is what the Emergency Department physician probably heard with his stethoscope when he made his diagnosis.
Mitral valve prolapse is a fairly common occurrence in women between 20 and 40 years old and remains present for the rest of their life unless it is corrected surgically. It is not commonly checked for during regular yearly physicals unless there is a history of such heart problems in the family or in your own personal history. This is why you were told to see a cardiologist.
Your cardiologist will consider your cardiovascular risk factors, including age, sex, family history and smoking history, as well as your symptoms and the results of diagnostic testing, such as blood tests. He may also encourage you to do an Exercise Stress Test to rule out coronary artery disease and an Echocardiogram (both non-invasive procedures) to get a good view of your heart and valves in motion.
The best thing to do would be to follow the emergency physician's advice and see your cardiologist right away. Treatment for the symptoms of mitral valve prolapse can be as easy as reducing the amount of caffeine in your diet but may require taking a medication. More serious cases may require you to undergo surgery, which is why it is important to be proactive and talk with your cardiologist about your symptoms in a timely and honest manner.

Part-time students (undergraduates taking fewer than 12 hour excluding WEB/KYVU courses) will pay the part-time rate times the number of hours scheduled.
WEB/KYVU Course Tuition and Fees are separate and in addition to Regular Tuition and Fees. There is no maximum on WEB/KYVU Course Tuition and Fees charged.
Some courses may have additional fees. Refer to the Schedule of Fees for these courses and the appropriate fees.
RacerCard ID
The Murray State University RacerCard Identification (ID Card) fee is assessed once to all students enrolled in main campus courses. Students enrolled in off-campus or online-only courses are not assessed an ID fee unless specifically requested by the student. Scheduling courses and payment for all financial obligations are necessary for appropriate ID activation each semester.
Additional items covered
Students enrolled at MSU are entitled to health services, admission to athletic events, Murray Civic Music Association performances, and certain activities sponsored by the University Center Board by presenting their MSU Racer ID card.
Legacy Tuition Grant for out-of-state students
Undergraduate out-of-state students admitted Summer 2004 through Spring 2014 that are the children or grandchildren of Murray State Alumni that received either a bachelors or masters degree from Murray State University should refer to information on the Legacy Tuition Grant.
Undergraduate out-of-state students admitted Fall 2014 and forward the Legacy waiver will reduce tuition to half the difference off between instate and out-of-state tuition rates starting with new students. Regional students who receive the legacy grant will have the regional discount applied first and the legacy grant will be added limited to $1000.
Resident Tuition Discount
Students from Massac County in Illinois, or Posey, Vanderburgh or Warrick Counties in Indiana will be assessed out-of-state tuition. A tuition discount will be credited for the difference between Murray State University's out-of-state tuition and instate tuition. (Note: This will result in the student paying the same as instate tuition.)
Per the KY Council of Postsecondary Education, eligible students from Henry, Obion, Stewart and Weakley Counties will be assessed the same tuition rate as a Kentucky resident. Students from these four counties will be treated as Kentucky students in relation to admission requirements and housing/dining policies.
Note: Residents of the counties listed above may receive the resident tuition discount as a part-time or full-time student and do not have to live in university housing to receive the tuition discount. Full-time freshman and sophomore students must complete the housing exemption process if not living in university housing.
Regional Tuition Discount
Students from the states of Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, and Tennessee who are admitted or re-admitted (after two years of absence) beginning in the summer 2001 will be assessed out-of-state tuition. A tuition discount will be credited for the difference between Murray State University's out-of-state tuition and an average instate rate, based on colleges from the student's state of residency on record with Admissions Services. Students from Ohio are also eligible for a regional tuition discount if they were enrolled after the fall semester for 2010 and before the fall semester for 2014. Ohio students enrolled the fall semester of 2014 and after will not receive the regional discount. Beginning the fall semester of 2011, students from Alabama will also be eligible for a regional tuition discount. The regional discount for Alabama will only apply to students who are admitted or re-admitted (after a one year absence) for Fall 2011 or future semesters.
In order to receive the Regional Tuition Discount, undergraduate students must be eligible for admission, enroll full-time and pay for university housing. Seniors are not required to live in university housing.
Summer Regional Tuition Rates for graduate and undergraduate students will be based on their state's respective institutional rates.
Starting the Fall of 2013 students receiving the Regional Tuition Discount will be charged a $100 Regional tuition service charge.
Residential Colleges
Freshmen (anyone with fewer than 30 semester hours earned) and sophomores (anyone with 30 hours but fewer than 60 semester hours earned) who are not exempt from the housing regulations by virtue of age, military service, or other approved exemptions, must reside in university housing during the regular semesters. Students who qualify under one of the exceptions listed above must complete the Housing Exemption form. Exemptions to this requirement must be obtained from the Housing Office in writing and in advance of registration. For further information, you may contact the Housing Office at (270) 809-2310.
Meal Plans
Freshman and sophomore students living in the residential colleges must participate in the meal plan program. These students may purchase from the Residential Plans. Junior and senior students may choose from any of the Residential or Commuter Plans.
Exemption from the meal plan requirements should be obtained in writing from the Dining Services office prior to the beginning of classes or in person during the first four weeks of classes. Exemptions are normally granted by virtue of age (over 21), military service, marital status or commuter status. The Housing Exemption form may be used to satisfy this requirement.
Dining Plans
Dining services serves 19 meals per week starting Monday breakfast through Sunday dinner. View full meal plan descriptions at the Dining Services site.
Students may change their selected meal plan within the first month of classes. Meal plan changes may be made online through the Money tab of a student's myGate account or in person at the Dining Services Office, 1st Floor, Curris Center.
Meal plan changes (add, delete or change)
Students who are scheduled for classes and wanting to change their meal plan selection (add, delete or change) may do so by logging onto myGate and viewing the Money tab. Please allow at least 24 hours for processing. Any change in the cost of the meal plan selected will be displayed on the myGate Money tab.
If you have questions, email firstname.lastname@example.com or call (270) 809-3003.

Well, not really, but it is peculiar, especially in India, where to be a Hindu nationalist one doesn't even need to be a Hindu. Jains, Buddhists, Sikhs — the Hindu nationalist movement will take 'em, writes Rajeev Bhargava, a political theorist at the University of Delhi in Dissent, a leftist quarterly CHK. Bottom line? So long as you regard India as both "fatherland" and "holy land," you're in. Which leaves Indian Muslims, the region's largest religious minority for centuries, decidedly out.
Case in point: Cows. According to Bhargava, "the first movement for cow protection was initiated at the end of the nineteenth century and sought to unite all Hindus against the alleged barbaric practices of Muslims that threatened the natural order of Hindu society…. The permanent subtext of such campaigns is their anti-Muslim character: all Muslims are assumed to be beef-eaters, a permanent body of cow-slaughterers."
"I see the cow issue," a Hindu nationalist leader remarked recently, on the fight to save the bovine, "as part of the global struggle against jihadi fundamentalism."
Which puts a new twist on mad cow disease.
Sacred cows, in fact, are responsible for a whole lot of human killing — the 2,000 Muslimsmassacred in the Indian state of Gujarat in 2002, for example. Their deaths were the instigation for Bhargava's exploration of Hindu nationalism, but it's more than a regional story from halfway around the world. Considering that Hindu nationalists have spruced up fascism for a new century — with lessons for demagogues worldwide — reading Bhargava is like looking through a glass darkly.

Bryant Lowe
In his fourth season with the UIC men's basketball staff and third season as an assistant coach is former Flames standout Bryant Lowe.
Lowe, who graduated from UIC in 1999, is in the midst of a reunion with head coach Jimmy Collins, joining the coaching staff after two standout seasons as a player for the Flames from 1996-1998.
In 2008-09 Lowe helped the Flames chalk up upset road wins at Vanderbilt and Georgia Tech en route to a quarterfinal run in the Horizon League tourney.
Lowe had an impact on the Flames' most successful season since 2003-04, helping guide UIC to an 18-win campaign and a trip to the Horizon League semifinals in 2007-08.
In 2006-07 Lowe served as the team's Director of Basketball Operations. When Collins was forced to miss the final 19 games of the 2006-07 season due to an abdominal aortic aneurysm, Lowe stepped up and assisted the program as a coach under associate head coach Mark Coomes.
Lowe was a team captain on the 1997-98 UIC squad that won 22 games and gained the program's first-ever NCAA Tournament berth, earning All-Midwestern College Conference First Team accolades after averaging 15.1 points and 8.7 rebounds per game. In his first season with the Flames, Lowe was named to the MCC's All-Newcomer Team.
Lowe returned to UIC after spending the previous three years as a manager for the Aldi Corporation. Prior to his work there, Lowe served as a Recreational Supervisor for the Alsip Park District and as a substitute physical education teacher and part time basketball coach at PAEC High School.
Lowe lives in Alsip, Ill. He has two daughters, Tea and Brenae.

The Taking, the first feature length film by The BAPrtists (Lydelle Jackson and Cezil Reed) is a bold and well crafted horror film. Upon viewing, the time, emotion and care employed to create this film exudes from the screen and forms an impressive entry in to the cinematic universe.
We meet Carl (John Halas) and Jade (Alana Jackler). Carl's fiancé, Carolina (Linda Rodriguez) has cheated on him with his best friend. Jade's daughter was murdered by a man (Frank Bliss) and was never caught. They have both somehow found themselves tied to trees in the woods. They suffer from bizarre and horrifying visions and are tormented by a family that perform various rituals. Each vision seems to possess them, and leave them bloodier and weaker. They are frequently confronted by the very cause of the rage that may have brought them to the woods; Carolina and the man that killed Jade's daughter. Carl comes to the realization that this is a place to face one's demons; or suffer a horrific fate.
This film is told via very dizzying and rapid fire scenes from multiple points of view. It places you securely within the madness that is occurring on screen. There is not much dialogue, and most of it is spoken by an unseen force (via haunting sounds and subtitles) and The Grandmother (Lynette Gaza) who carries out the aforementioned rituals with the help of her family. Combined with music that will most likely cause nightmares (courtesy of Leland Jackson), The Taking is a quite satisfying hallucinatory experience.
When filmmakers are making their first picture, there generally is a small budget and limited resources, which understandably leads to marginal acting, sub-par effects and just less than desirable components that produce a final product short of what was imagined. The Taking is an exception. Jackson and Reed wisely put their money where it would be of the most use. The acting from every person in this film was on point. The family in the woods were all quite eerie. Most of them just glared and did not speak. Gordon Price as the father reminds one of Angus Scrimm as the Tall Man from Phantasm, as he lumbers around the woods. The effects were minimal but effective; just lots of blood and neat shots of an evil sky. Most of the horror comes from well put together bloody images and scenes rather than poor CGI or shoddy make up and costume work usually found in a lot of low budget films.
The editing and directing of this film are quite fantastic. The film is much like an acid trip; one second everything seems normal, the next thing you know, horrible visions appear, everything spins, voices speak and madness ensues. These scenes are usually stopped by a black screen to bring us back to some sense of reality, only to unravel again and again. There is excellent composition in many of the shots that linger for a few seconds, and the colors contrast well. Brilliant green of the leaves against the dark grey skin of a broken man tied to a tree.
The only issue that occurred in the film was at some points, it was difficult to hear what Carl was saying. This may have been from the DVD copy, but occasionally, his lines were too soft and unintelligible. This really did nothing to detract from the film, the story was still well understood.
This film is complete, and while it has a 2012 date, there is no scheduled release for it yet. Movie Scum will definitely keep you in the loop regarding that.
This is an impressive first film. It is not a safe film. This is a "We are the fucking BAPartists and we have arrived," film. You will either like it, or hate it. Although I can't imagine anyone who appreciates quality film hating it.

Tobi Fairley + Beverly Wells
What's better than a home decorated by Tobi Fairley?? How about a home decorated for the holidays by Tobi and her mother Beverly Wells! I positively adore the turquoise and green palette that was inspired by the Wells' furnishings and gorgeous aqua-painted kitchen cabinetry, as well as the green-and-cream fabric from Tobi's new fabric line. They actually used it to make the fab striped runners on the dining table...so cute! You can see more images taken by Rett Peek and read all about their traditions over at At Home in Arkansas!

Make cosmetics is like the Tom's shoes of makeup: Every time you purchase a product from the New York–based line, one-third of the money goes to the We See Beauty Foundation, an organization that works to develop women-owned cooperative businesses. The foundation's first project will be to establish a cooperative in Brooklyn that will create and sell its own healthy cleaning and personal-care products.
OK, I know all this artisanal cooperative stuff is sounding extremely Brooklyn, but the thing is, the makeup actually looks good. It's produced in the U.S., comes in beautiful minimalist packaging, was made in collaboration with über-cool makeup artist Ayami Nishimura, and includes some unique-sounding products, like a glossing powder that helps "diffuse imperfections with a natural radiance" and a nonsticky translucent gel that may finally allow me to get the dewy eyelids I've been coveting since they popped up all over the fall runways.
But notice that I said "unique-sounding products." The only place to buy them is online (and in one store in N.Y.C.), so even though they sound great and look awesome on the screen—whoever does their makeup blob photography is top notch—dropping $25 on a product I've never tried seems risky, even if it's for a good cause. How about you: Would you roll the dice in the name of philanthropy?

This coming weekend, the sold out Governors Ball returns to New York City, bringing music and joy to thousands of people who will convene on Randall's Island June 6th-June 8th to rock out to the likes of Jack White, Outkast, Vampire Weekend, Bastille, Janelle Monae, The Strokes, Fitz and The Tantrums, Frank Turner, Phoenix, Childish Gambino and more! Here are a few things you should know before you go:
Decide how you're going to get there.
Apparently, construction is rampant on the Island this year. This means that public parking is not going to be available. Check the festival's site here to see transportation options (some of which require tickets you can purchase in advance). For additional descriptions of these options, visit the official site for Randall's Island. Options include walking, shuttle buses and a ferry to get you there. Be sure to allow plenty of time, as there is a chance you may encounter a wait if you're boarding any type of public transportation, though the fest's site mentioned they have done their best to increase the frequency of shuttles to meet attendance demands. For those heading over on foot, the Manhattan and Queens walkways reportedly take 20-30 minutes to cross, along with any additional walking to get to the actual festival grounds (look for signs pointing the way to the festival which will be held in the Harlem River Event/Icahn Stadium/Golf Center Area).
Keep an eye on the weather.
I don't imagine conditions can get much worse than last year (my wrap-up here), which saw Friday cut short due to a massive thunderstorm. The property wreckage that occurred was enough that a few upcoming planned events at the Island had to be canceled due to much restorative work that needed to be done. Right now the weather doesn't look incredibly threatening, but just in case the weather gods turn on Governors Ball again, your best bet is to come prepared.
--Check out places like CVS or DSW for affordable galoshes and ponchos to help brave the elements. Also, wear comfortable clothes that you can stand seeing doused in mud. Last year's attendees often found themselves shin-deep in random unexpected mud pits located around the field.
--Cover up any electronic valuables with a secure plastic bag. Because as this Examiner found out the hard way, gadgets can be destroyed through your clothing/purse if it's raining enough to soak through.
Have a schedule on you at all times for reference.
Download the Official Governors Ball app or print a copy of the schedule from their site here, where you can also create a customized schedule so you don't miss your favorites. There are so many acts, it would be impossible to memorize all the stage times and locations.
Utilize the festival map to find what you need.
To help plan your day, Time Out NY has provided a handy map here. It tells you where to find the stages, food, restrooms, charging stations and where you can refill your water bottles for free.
Have fun and take care of yourself!
Don't forget to hydrate and eat. Festival days are long. Even if you're afraid of missing any of the stage action, take breaks to grab a snack or some water. Passing out and ending up in the medical tent is way less fun than missing a few minutes of a band's set. If you're unexpectedly short on cash, 13 food vendors will be accepting PayPal on site. Download the PayPal app, redeem a $5 offer and "check in" to pay. This technology will also be employed at Bonnaroo and Outside Lands later this year. Vendors accepting PayPal: Arancini Bros, Asia Dog, Brindle Room, Brooklyn Soda Works, Candy Rox, Coolhaus, Jack's Sliders & Sushi, Jalapeño Corn Dog Concessions, Mayhem & Stout, Melt, Momofuku Milk Bar, Pommes Frites, and Ports Coffee. You can find links to their websites here.
For any other questions regarding the festival, such as what you're allowed to bring, a list of food offerings, and what to do if you lose your ticket, visit the festival's official site!

An urban flood advisory has been issued for much of Broward County and Boca Raton, as storms have produced 2 to 3 inches of rain this afternoon – and could deliver up to 3 inches more.
The advisory is in effect until 6:45 p.m., as the bad weather could make for a messy evening commute.
Much of the rain is being generated by a single slow-moving thunderstorm, the National Weather Service in Miami said.
The stormy weather is the result of a weak cold front that approached South Florida but dissipated near Lake Okeechobee, the weather service said.
The weekend looks much nicer, with mostly sunny skies, breezy conditions and highs in the mid 80s.]]>
Could South Florida see tornadoes as powerful and destructive as those that plowed over Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, Virginia and Kentucky on Wednesday and Thursday?
Very unlikely.
"We've never had anything remotely close," said meteorologist Roberto Garcia of the National Weather Service in Miami.
Most of the tornadoes that develop in South Florida reach no higher than EF1, or up to 110 mph, on the Enhanced Frijita scale. Even tornadoes embedded in tropical storms and hurricanes rarely exceed EF1 strength, he said.
As a result, tornado deaths in this region are rare; only eight people have been killed in spring and winter tornado outbreaks since 1925, the weather service said.
Some of the tornadoes that raked across the six southern states this week intensified to EF4 level, or up to 200 mph. Almost 300 people were killed, including 210 in Alabama alone. Hundreds more were injured.
Why is South Florida essentially protected from the top-end twisters?
Tornadoes are frequently created out of warm moist air clashing with cold dry air, which creates instability in the atmosphere, Garcia said.
The more extreme the temperature and moisture differences, the stronger the tornadoes tend to be, he said.
This week's tornado activity was born out of extremely dry air from the Northwest meeting up with extremely moist air out of the Gulf of Mexico.
By the time cold air masses arrive in South Florida, they already have been "modified," or warmed up and moistened, Garcia said. The region is bordered by water on three sides, creating a subtropical atmosphere.
Further, the jet stream, a fast moving stream of air at high levels, "curves and concentrates energy to the north," he said. That's why Central Florida tends to see more tornado outbreaks than South Florida.
"That's not to say we would never see an outbreak," Garcia said. "But probably not of the same intensity."
Some might wonder if this week's tornado outbreak has any ramifications for the upcoming hurricane season, as in, are more powerful tropical systems in the offing?
Garcia said there is no apparent correlation between tornado activity and hurricane formation, as the strength and number of tropical systems is determined by completely separate atmospheric conditions, such as El Niño or La Niña, sea surface temperatures and African rainfall.
"Hurricane season depends on larger influences," he said.]]>
After a few days of sweltering heat, conditions should cool down starting today.
But not by much.
The forecast calls for mostly sunny skies with highs in the upper 80s and a 30 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms. Evening lows are expected to dip into the upper 60s, which is at least better than the mid 70s we've been experiencing lately.
The cooler air, if you can call it that, comes courtesy of a weak cold front, expected to dissipate as it approaches Lake Okeechobee today.
Saturday and Sunday should be sunny and breezy with afternoon temperatures in the mid 80s, or still a few degrees above normal.

The mercury is expected to climb into the low 90s again today. Combined with high humidity levels, it's going to feel mighty hot out there.
Today's forecast otherwise calls for mostly sunny skies and a 20 percent chance of rain. Lows tonight in the low to mid 70s.
Thanks to a cold front approaching South Florida, temperatures should drop a few degrees on Friday and even more over the weekend.]]>
Expect a steamy hot day, thanks to rising humidity levels.
The forecast calls for temperatures in upper 80s and low 90s, lows in the mid 70s.
There also is a 30 percent chance of showers or thunderstorms, mainly in the afternoon. Some areas, such as Hollywood, already have seen some rain today.
Thursday also should feel like a sauna.
A weak cold front should bring temperatures down a few degrees on Friday and over the weekend.]]>
Moisture from that disturbance the National Hurricane Center was monitoring last week should drift over South Florida today.
Accordingly, the National Weather Service says there is a 30 percent chance of showers or thunderstorms, mainly in the afternoon.
Today's forecast otherwise calls for mostly sunny skies, highs in the mid to upper 80s and low in the mid 70s.
Wednesday should be a bit hotter and drier.]]>
If you'd like to tour NOAA's WP-3 Orion hurricane hunter aircraft when it flies into Fort Lauderdale on May 6, you have a rather small window to do so – from 3 to 4:30 p.m.
Although the big four-engine turboprop will arrive at Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport that morning, officials said they had to limit public access because several hundred school children are scheduled to walk through the aircraft earlier in the day.
During the storm season, the WP-3 Orion flies into the eye of hurricanes on research missions and feeds back meteorological information to the National Hurricane Center.
Fort Lauderdale Executive will be its last stop on a five-city awareness tour, intended to urge residents to develop a hurricane plan and be prepared.

Although there should be lots of sun this week, we also might see some showers.
That would be nice, considering we've been in such a dry pattern – and because of the drought.
Today's forecast specifically calls for a 20 percent chance of rain and breezy conditions. Highs in the mid to upper 80s, lows in the mid 70s.
Where's the rain coming from? Mainly increased moisture in the atmosphere coupled with easterly winds, said meteorologist Barry Baxter of the National Weather Service in Miami.
By Tuesday, we might receive some showers from the remnants of the Atlantic disturbance, which fell apart over the weekend.
"But it's no drought buster," Baxter said, adding that most of that system's deep moisture is expected to remain over the Bahamas.
The rain chance for now is projected to be about 20 percent Wednesday through Friday. By the weekend, high pressure should build back over the region, again putting us in a dry pattern, he said.

Dating game explored in new ABC online series
New ABC iview reality series The Daters follows a group of six young Adelaideans as they look for love via the pubs, clubs, chatrooms and apps of the modern romantic scene over a three-month period.
Consisting of 25 ten-minute episodes, the 'cast' includes Adelaide radio presenter Burgo; "True-blue Aussie boy" and apprentice plumber John; dance student Courteney; jewellery designer Anna; and make-up artist/journalism student Sooz.
Then there's the gay guy, Johnny (pictured), who comes from a small town in rural NSW and made his way to Adelaide for study after working in PR in Sydney. At 26, he's now studying Mandarin and International Business while running his own international art sales firm ("artists aren't businesspeople and you can help them promote their work").
"I left school very young," Johnny says. "I was 14 and I did a trade. I don't think you're as familiar with what's available when you're from the country; you just do what everyone else is doing."
Johnny says his coming out was an easy transition. "I was pretty lucky," he says. "I didn't make a deal of it or wear it on my sleeve. I had finished my apprenticeship, so I was 18, and I was gradually telling people. It seemed to go down pretty well – which I know isn't the story for a lot of people who grow up in the country." His best mate, after Johnny nervously told him, responded, "Oh… so are we going for a beer?" "That was the first thing out of his mouth," Johnny remembers, "and I was really nervous to tell him. I was expecting the worst, but it went quite well."
VIDEO: Watch a preview of The Daters
In Adelaide, a friend at the ABC approached Johnny to help her make the pitch for The Daters, and he subsequently stayed on as one of the daters. He says he's a little nervous, he doesn't know what to expect from the show, which airs tonight. "I'm not a fan of reality TV, but in this context it seems to be more of a documentary; an honest relay of our lives and how the real world and the digital world influences people in reference to dating."
The quick hook up via Grindr is a thing of the past, Johnny says, "My days of hitting up Grindr are well and truly over. I'm a little more focused on something that might have a bit of longevity. I think of that stereotypical 80s gay man, that was all about the beats and the gay clubs. It's probably marketing or the way it's been presented, but to me it had this little bit of a sleaze factor about it. I think Grindr is bringing that back to a degree, which is why I'm more of a sticker for Tinder – it's a bit cleaner communication. No one can open with a dick pick."
Johnny says in terms of a partner he's looking for someone who's opposite of the tall, dark corporate man he thought he wanted, so he can be "surprised": "That would make for a far more interesting life than dating someone who is your type."
With the program launching on ABC iview tonight, Johnny says he hopes to give viewers the impression that dating for gay men isn't just the stereotyped emphasis on sex. And he's ready for the viewer reaction. "I had an interview with a national radio station last week and after that my phone was going crazy. It's given me a taste of what might happen."
The Daters, launches 12.30pm on Tuesday, June 24, 2014 on ABC iview.

The Saturday farmers market in Redding will have to move from their location on Cypress Avenue.
The move will happen next year when construction of the new Redding Police Department building will begin.
The farmers market draws vendors from across Northern California, some come from as far away as Yuba City.
Officials say they're looking to stay as close to their current location as possible, but it is tough to balance their size requirements with accessibility and visibility.
They need to be near a busy road to drive business and promote the farmers market, but also have enough space for up to 80 vendors.
Complicating matters is the need for parking for patrons of the market.
Those requirements and the fact that many people either walk or bike to the markets are keeping their options slim.
So far, they are looking at the Mount Shasta Mall parking lot, or the Market Street Promenade.
The growers association will hold a vote in January but may not decide on a new location until as late as early March.

The grocery giant, Albertsons announced Wednesday that it is laying off roughly 2,500 of its workforce, blaming the cuts on an increasingly competitive market and slump in sales.
The job cuts will take place over a two-week period beginning June 17 and impact 247 of Albertsons Southern California and Las Vegas supermarkets.
The move is expected to reduce the workforce by approximately 12 to 13 percent of its Southern California division.
"A decision of this nature is never easy, but it is the necessary step for us to take to help improve our business and accelerate our turnaround," said Dan Sanders, president of the chains' Southern California Division, in a news release.
"Our goal is to more effectively serve the marketplace by scheduling associates more appropriately to serve customers at the times they shop. I am confident our team will embrace these changes and help us to compete more effectively in a rapidly changing marketplace."
Working on transition
Though the exact number of layoffs is not official yet, around eight to 10 employees on an average will be fired from each store. However, no additional rounds of layoffs or any store closings are planned as of now.
Albertsons is working with local union on the layoffs. The focus will to shed jobs on the basis classification and seniority.
Senior employees will be entrusted with lesser positions, so that new employees or those with the least experience will bear the brunt of the lay-offs.
The grocery chain shuttered stores in Riverside, Menifee and Coachella last year and sold locations in Hesperia and Lake Elsinore to Stater Bros.
Albertsons cut 30 positions in January in Southern California, including 10 in Murrieta and Rancho Cucamonga and reduced staff in a Fullerton support center in February.
The company is focusing on "simplifying the organization and reducing expenses" to reduce costs and utilize the savings in improving stores and lowering prices.
Sanders stated, "While Albertsons' commitment to the neighborhoods it serves remains the same, the need for change at the company is clear. Albertsons has not kept pace with the changing needs of its customers for a number of reasons."
"At the same time, while the division has experienced a reduction in traffic and an overall decline in sales, it has not made the necessary adjustments to its store-level operations."
Rocked by competition
Albertsons, owned by Minnesota-based Supervalu, has suffered massive losses in its Southern California stores as it faced competition from discount retailers such as Walmart, Target and dollar-store chains, which have been expanding in the region and elsewhere in the country.
High-end grocers such as Whole Foods and Trader Joe's and ethnic stores like Inland Cardenas Markets and Rio Ranch Market chains are tough contenders.
Michael Siemienas, an Albertsons spokesman for the Eden, Prairie, Minn.-based SuperValu Inc., which is the grocery chain's parent stated, "The supermarket industry is extremely competitive, and we need to ensure that we are running as efficiently as possible."
