We have good news and bad news. First, the good news. TODAY is National Napping Day. The opportunity provides time to adjust after changes to daylight savings when losing an hour of sleep due to ‘springing forward’.

Birds do it, bees do it and even Supreme court Justices do it. So, if you're driving somewhere, pull over at a rest area and take a well deserved nap.

Mid-afternoon naps are an integral part of most cultures, and scientifically proven to be good for you. Here’s to justifying a few hours of well deserved nap.

EMPOWERING "WE"

Submitted by Admin on

We often hear, or listen to the phrases "We The People" "How Are We Doing?" "We Are The World"

The power of we signifies collective wisdom. No one person ever has all of the answers, and regardless of your amount of Google searches , consulting with others will give us better information.

Pushing our limits may be difficult when working alone, because it’s easy to give up. By surrounding ourselves with others working toward an objective, we’ll get motivation, support, and friendly competition to push ourselves just a bit further than we would have done on our own.

BRUTAL WINTER FOR WILDLIFE

Two months of heavy winter snow covering the area and those brutal bouts of arctic air are now endangering the local wildlife.

These animals are under serious stress. Many are in danger of starving because their food sources are covered with snow, or ice and their sources for the water they need to survive are frozen.

GETTING OLD

Submitted by Admin on

If you are one of millions worldwide, who feel that time is catching up with you, then move faster. But is this is futile and age has overtaken you, left you in the dust and your years seem to be going too fast for comfort? Just sit back and enjoy the fact that you're not ancients, but just set in your old ways.

According to US government officials, for the last 60 months, we’ve seen consecutive private sector job growth, with a positive sign that our economy is making progress.

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration Dawn probe is going into orbit around Ceres, which is the largest object in the Solar System between Mars and Jupiter.

It has taken the satellite over 7 years to reach this destination, and it will spend the next 14 months mapping it. Ceres is the first of the dwarf planets to be visited by a spacecraft.

RECORD BREAKING COLD

We're number one. Brrrr... 1 degree temperatures is now a new record low for the area, which was set this morning. It was 1 degree at 7A and the old record low was 9 degrees, set in 2007.

The record for Saturday is also 9 degrees and tonight's low is expected to be 10, so that record is also in jeopardy. Some schools are closed, others are opening on delayed schedule, citing icy roads and cold temperatures. Yonkers schools are closed today due to road conditions.
