Tebow on Urban Meyer-Ohio State rumors


Tim Tebow has heard the rumors just like the rest of us that his college coach, Urban Meyer, might become the new head coach at Ohio State, a year after he left the University of Florida.
Does Tebow have any inside information?
“I’m not sure. Whatever he decides to do I’ll be 100 percent behind him. It’ll be exciting to see what happens,” Tebow said Wednesday afternoon.
Tebow and Meyer remain close and speak frequently.
“I know he just, more than anything, he wants to do right by his family, and have their support in anything he does,” Tebow said. “Mostly when we’ve talked, it’s been about that. When he comes back he’s going to be a great coach, and I’m excited to see what happens.”
Tebow was a freshman spot-duty quarterback when the University of Florida beat Ohio State to win the national championship in January 2007

  2. In a large bowl, combine sweet potatoes, butter, sugar, vanilla and nutmeg. In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk and blend into the sweet potato mixture.

acebook App 9/11 Memorial Lets You Dedicate Status Updates to Victims

Facebook, in collaboration with The National September 11 Memorial & Museum, will ask members to update their profile photos or dedicate their statuses in remembrance of the victims who lost their lives on Sept. 11, 2001.

The 9/11 Memorial application, built by Facebook app maker Involver, was released Wednesday, just days ahead of the tenth anniversary of the tragic attacks.

“The goal of the application is to honor and remember victims of this devastating attack on America, 10 years later,” explains Involver‘s Senior Vice President of Marketing Jascha Kaykas-Wolff.

Facebook users can choose to dedicate their status or update their profile photo, and tell their family and friends how they’re remembering and honoring victims.






When a user selects to donate his or her status, the application selects from the 3,000 victims — which include victims of the World Trade Center bombing, the attack on the Pentagon, the passengers of Flight 93 and the six people killed in the February 1993 World Trade Center bombing — and dedicates each status to a single victim. App users also have the option to choose to dedicate an update to a specific individual.

Irene Moves Into New England Leaving Millions in Dark, 11 Dead

Tropical Storm Irene moved into western Connecticut after killing 11 people, knocking out power to more than 4 million customers in 12 states and sending rivers to near-record heights.
Irene was 10 miles west of Danbury, Connecticut, with winds of 60 miles per hour and moving north-northeast at 26 mph as of the 11 a.m. National Hurricane Center update.
“Everyone who is still under a tropical storm warning shouldn’t let their guard down and shouldn’t venture outside,” said Dennis Feltgen, a spokesman for the National Hurricane Center in Miami. “I know everyone wants to sightsee but personal safety has to come first. It’s still a big rain event and there are still storm surge impacts on the south-facing coastline. Things will be much better tomorrow.”
Irene was a shadow of the storm that roared across the Caribbean with winds of up to 120 miles (194 kilometers) an hour and crashed into North Carolina’s Outer Banks as a Category 1 hurricane. It dropped to tropical storm status before making landfall in New York City at about 9 a.m. today.
People from South Carolina to New Hampshire lost power because of Irene, according to a report by the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Electricity Delivery & Energy Reliability released today.

Storm’s Costs

Insured losses in North and South Carolina are expected to range from $200 million to $400 Million, according to risk- modeling company Eqecat Inc. in Oakland, California. Irene may have caused between $500 million and $1.1 billion in damage to the Bahamas, according to estimates from AIR Worldwide in Boston.
If Irene’s losses exceed $1 billion in the U.S., it will be among the ten most costly natural disasters this year, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The U.S. has suffered $35 billion in losses due to nine separate events so far in 2011, tying a record for disasters causing more than $1 billion damage, NOAA said.
Irene struck the Bahamas last week before making landfall in North Carolina yesterday. It made a second U.S. landfall early today along the New Jersey shore and then passed directly over New York about three hours later, according to the hurricane center in Miami.
Tornadoes have been reported in Delaware and Virginia, where they have damaged homes, according to the U.S. Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Oklahoma. Tornadoes are possible throughout Irene’s path, according to the hurricane center.

NYC Flooding

The National Weather Service issued a flood warning for the New York City area until 6 p.m.
Rivers and creeks throughout the Northeast are rising, according to weather service river gauges.
Water rose to 8.12 feet at the Sandy Hook, New Jersey, flood gauge as of 7:36 a.m., higher than the 7.7-foot threshold for moderate flooding.
The Millstone River in Blackwells Mills, New Jersey, rose 14.37 feet in the past 12 hours and is now considered at major stage flooding, according to the National Weather Service. The Raritan River’s south and north branches are also at major flood stage. The south branch rose 10.79 feet in the past 12 hours, while the north branch in Raritan has risen 14.99, according to weather service river gauges.
Brandywine Creek at Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, rose 10.5 feet in the past 24 hours and is expected to surpass its all- time high flood stage of 17.15 feet, set in September 1999, when Hurricane Floyd swept through the Northeast, according to the weather service. Chadds Ford is about 25 miles west of Philadelphia.

Records Broken

The North River at Shattuckville, Rhode Island, rose 11 feet in 12 hours and set a flood record of 12.95 feet breaking the mark set in October 2005.
Many records set in the region when Floyd came through may be broken today, Bill Deger, a meteorologist for private forecaster AccuWeather in State College, Pennsylvania, said in an e-mailed statement.
All hurricane warnings for the Eastern Seaboard were dropped at 11 a.m. Storm warnings are in effect from Chincoteague, Virginia, northward Eastport, Maine, and into Canada.
“Continued gradual weakening will occur as the system moves over land today,” according to the hurricane center. “Significantly stronger winds are still possible over high-rise structures and areas of elevated terrain.”
Elsewhere, Tropical Storm Jose formed 75 miles south- southwest of Bermuda, where a storm warning has been issued, according to the hurricane center. Jose is expected to move north and start to deteriorate tomorrow.
