Weather Service Halts Review of Its Work During Sandy | Climate ...

Just days after commissioning a review of its performance during Hurricane Sandy, the National Weather Service (NWS) abruptly disbanded the review team Thursday, saying that ?a larger, multi-agency review of this event may take place? instead. The agency gave no time frame on when another review team might be put in place, or what other agencies might be involved in such a review.

NWS Acting Director Laura Furgione told Climate Central that the formation of the service assessment had been "premature" and that she had not seen or approved a charter governing the scope of the team's work. Furgione did not say who approved the initial decision. She said the NWS is committed to having a review, and is trying to speed up the review process.

Consistent with its tradition of evaluating its performance following major and deadly weather events, the NWS had put together a team of experts to conduct a service assessment of the agency?s performance in forecasting the storm and warning the public of its multiple hazards. In a first for the agency, the team was being co-led by someone outside of the agency, Mike Smith of the private weather forecasting firm AccuWeather. Smith has occasionally been critical of the NWS, including in the case of Sandy, although he has praised the agency for its accurate forecasts of the storm's path.

?I am writing to inform you that effective immediately we are terminating the spin-up of the National Weather Sandy Service Assessment Team,? a NOAA official told the team via email. ?All plans and activities that have started should now cease.?

Smith said the team?s work had already begun, a budget had been approved, and he and other team members had already been working late into the night on the analysis. He said the assessment team intended to examine all angles of the event, including the question of why there were no hurricane warnings issued for New Jersey or New York. The storm decimated the New Jersey coastline and left 43 people dead in New York City alone, many from drowning due to the record storm surge flooding.

?We very quickly focused on the fact that you had a hurricane approaching the U.S. East Coast and no hurricane warnings,? Smith said in an interview.

Susan Buchanan, a Weather Service spokeswoman, said the agency is waiting to see if there is going to be a broader government review before proceeding with its own assessment. ?If so, we would want to contribute to and benefit from a full federal collaboration on the overall service assessment. If a broader federal assessment does not move forward, the NWS will conduct an assessment of the agency?s performance as it routinely does,? she said in an email statement to Climate Central.

Service assessments are routine investigations that the NWS ? which is part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) ? conducts after major storm events, from paralyzing blizzards to deadly hurricanes. Hurricane Sandy was an unusual event, though, because it presented unique forecasting and communications challenges. For example, the storm was transitioning from a tropical weather system to one that more closely resembled a nor'easter of the sort that frequent the Northeast during the fall and winter. The NWS declared the storm ?post-tropical? shortly before landfall on Oct. 30, and it never issued hurricane warnings for the New Jersey coast or for New York City, among other areas, choosing instead to allow local NWS forecast offices to issue a multitude of other warnings, such as high-wind warnings.

That decision sparked intense opposition among some forecasters who said that hurricane warnings would have galvanized the public, along with political leaders, to undertake more significant preparations ahead of the storm.

However, it also provided a major benefit for property owners, since hurricane insurance deductibles typically are not triggered unless a hurricane warning is in effect or a named hurricane makes landfall. As Climate Central reported on Nov. 13, New York Senator Chuck Schumer has asked NOAA not to change the classification of Sandy to a hurricane due to its implications for millions of insurance policies.

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, for example, initially downplayed the storm?s destructive potential in a press conference two days before the storm, and waited until a day before the storm?s onset of heavy rains, strong winds, and a deadly storm surge to order the evacuation of low-lying parts of his city. Smith, among others, has speculated that if a hurricane warning had been issued for New York City, Bloomberg would have ordered evacuations earlier, and that may have saved lives.

Presumably, one of the areas that Smith and the review panel would have explored is whether the storm classification would have affected Bloomberg's decisions, and those of other emergency management authorities in the affected region.

"Given the scores of deaths and the huge level of damage (according to media reports 100,000+ are still without power), even with excellent forecasts, the Sandy Assessment may have been the most important the National Weather Service has ever conducted. Now it has been stopped," Smith wrote on his blog.?

According to Smith, the assessment team had been told they could not visit the National Hurricane Center in Miami as part of their investigation, which the team found bewildering, considering that Sandy was a hurricane during much of its trek up the East Coast.

?I think there was a level of discomfort at what we were starting to look into. Why there is that discomfort I don?t know, we hadn?t gotten very far,? Smith said. He called the assessment group, which was to be co-led by Nezette Rydell, the forecaster in charge of the NWS? Denver office, ?Very open-minded . . . but obviously when we were told we can?t go to the NHC, that raised several eyebrows.

?To have the plug pulled on them as soon as we started asking some interesting questions . . . it?s rather odd to me that the Weather Service would spin this thing up and, to use its word, terminate [it],? Smith said.

Church Distances Itself from Husband of Murder Victim

GRANDVIEW, Mo. ? The International House of Prayer is distancing itself further from the leader of a religious group whose wife was murdered in a conspiracy of drugs and sex in a statement on Friday, but the latest statement from the church is raising even more questions about its relationship with Tyler Deaton and what the church knew about him.

Bethany Deaton?s body was found in a van at Grandview Lake on October 30th. Her death thought to be a suicide until a man confessed to killing her, telling police he was ordered to do it by the victim?s husband allegedly to cover up sexual assaults.

All three were members of the International House of Prayer, and at one time the church listed Deaton as a group leader ? a listing Friday?s statement said was inaccurate.

Click here for more on this story from FOX 4

Ever since the sordid details of drugs, sex, religion and murder have come to light, the International House of Prayer has distanced itself from the small religious group to which the man charged with murder and the victim?s husband belonged.

The church has said Deaton and his group operated independently from the church and ?under a veil of secrecy.?? However, there were warnings.

First in June, according to the statement, someone approached IHOP?s small groups director raising concerns about Deaton?s manipulative behavior in his independent bible study group.

At the time the church says the director met with Deaton and mistakenly concluded that these concerns had been resolved.? Though the church says the concerns did not include any reference to the sexual perversion, sexual assault or malicious practice that were exposed only after Bethany?s death.

Second, an early November website posting listed Tyler Deaton as a Division Coordinator on the administrative team of the International House of Prayer Friendship Groups. The posting was taken down after Deaton?s roommate confessed to killing Deaton?s wife and accused Deaton of ordering the murder.

The church says the listing of Deaton?s name was an error made by a volunteer and that Deaton was never a group coordinator.? The church also says it regrets Deaton?s admission to IHOPU four years ago and all connection he had with the organization.

IHOP?s leader in charge of small groups did not return our calls for comment.? Tyler Deaton has also not returned our calls or emails.

Arrested hockey coach linked to previous sexual incident

A teenager who played for disgraced junior hockey coach Anthony DeSilva on the Massachusetts Maple Leafs says the coach ? who was arrested Wednesday ? had made advances towards him.

?The guy?s a creep,? said Alex Rivers, a North Carolina player who traveled here to play youth hockey. Rivers, 20, was 18 when he played for the Maple Leafs.

DeSilva, 41, a coach and general manager of the Maple Leafs was arrested on Wednesday on charges that he tried to seduce two 16-year-old Florida boys online. DeSilva?s teams often played at Raynham Ice Rink.

He sent naked pictures of himself to the teenage boys ? who were actually undercover detectives ? and told them in explicit detail what he wanted to do with them sexually, authorities said.

?I wasn?t surprised at all,? Rivers told The Enterprise Friday. ?Finally, someone got him.?

Rivers played for the Leafs starting in August 2010, but left the team sometime around Thanksgiving because of behavior from DeSilva, he said, which included ?cuddling,? attempting to put his hand down Rivers? pants and sending him inappropriate text messages.

Rivers said he didn?t want to ?ruin the season? for the rest of his team so he left.

Stephen Heisler, who covers Junior Hockey for juniorhockey.com and is familiar with the Rivers situation, called the story ?pathetic? and called for the governing body, USA Hockey, to do more to protect players.

?These coaches have an enormous amount of power over these players ... they hold their careers in their hands,? he said.

Heisler said USA Hockey knew about DeSilva?s behavior well before the recent arrest.

An e-mail from Rivers? father, David (which Alex Rivers confirmed as true) dated Jan. 24, 2011 complains about the coach.

?Tony has acted BEYOND inappropriate with my son and numerous other players this season,? the e-mail states.

Alex Rivers said he was contacted by USA Hockey and told since he was over 18, he would have to bring the complaint himself. Rivers returned home rather than risk the season for his teammates.

?I didn?t want to ruin their season over a problem I was having with the coach,? he said.

An e-mail sent to USA Hockey seeking comment was not immediately returned.

Anthony DeSilva, 41, a coach and general manager of the Massachusetts Maple Leafs, allegedly sent naked pictures of himself to the teenage boys ? who were actually undercover detectives ? and told them in explicit detail what he wanted to do with them sexually, authorities said.

The Maple Leafs? teams practice and play their games at the CDL Arena in Raynham and the Hetland Arena New Bedford. The players, ages 16-20, are from across the country. The teams also have athletes from cities and towns as close as Taunton, Somerset, Dartmouth, Bridgewater, Dighton and Lakeville.

DeSilva also has coached baseball in Middleboro.

Massachusetts State Police troopers, working with Acushnet police officers and sheriff?s deputies from Polk County, Fla., arrested DeSilva on Wednesday evening at his home at 23 Fairfield St., Acushnet, said Gregg Miliote, spokesman for the Bristol County District Attorney?s Office.

DeSilva was being held in custody Wednesday at the Ash Street Jail in New Bedford. After he is arraigned locally on a fugitive charge, DeSilva will be transported to Polk County, where he is facing 10 counts of use of a computer to seduce a child and one count of transmission of material harmful to a child.

During a post-Miranda interview, authorities said DeSilva told Polk County detectives that he knew the ages of the two boys he was chatting with online and sending text messages. He also told detectives that he works the midnight shift at a group home for the mentally challenged owned by Community Resource Justice.

According to an affidavit, the Polk County Sheriff?s Department began its investigation in July after one of the 16-year-old boys? mothers reported that a man named ?Tony? was trying to solicit her son on Facebook.

After obtaining permission from the mother, detectives posed as the teenager and communicated with DeSilva, who allegedly described what he wanted to do sexually with the boy. Authorities said DeSilva also told the boy that he was a coach with the Massachusetts Maple Leafs, and that he had also coached baseball.

At the same time, authorities said DeSilva began soliciting another Polk County teenage boy. But that boy was also an undercover detective, authorities said.

DeSilva allegedly solicited both young men to perform sex acts and to send him nude photographs of themselves.

On Wednesday, after being arrested, DeSilva was booked at the Ash Street Jail in New Bedford. The Polk County Sheriff?s Office also served a search warrant at DeSilva?s home, and added that further charges may be pending.

IIt was not immediately clear if DeSilva had an attorney, but his mother defended her son in an interview with Enterprise media partner WCVB-Channel 5.

"The kids always loved him,? Gladys DeSilva said. ?I don't know what to think.

Dozen House women defend Rice over Libya comments

WASHINGTON (AP) ? A dozen female members of the House staunchly defended U.N. ambassador Susan Rice against Republican criticism over her remarks on the deadly Sept. 11 Libya attack, suggesting the GOP lawmakers' comments were racist and sexist.

"It is a shame that anytime something goes wrong, they pick on women and minorities," Rep. Marcia Fudge, D-Ohio, the next chairwoman of the Congressional Black Caucus, told reporters Friday at a Capitol Hill news conference.

Republican Sens. John McCain and Lindsey Graham earlier this week called Rice untrustworthy and unqualified to be the nation's top diplomat if President Barack Obama chooses her to succeed Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton. The two vowed to block any Senate confirmation if she is nominated.

The House women, a majority of them Africa-American, lashed out at McCain and Graham and demanded that they retract their criticism.

"To batter this woman because they don't feel they have the ability to batter President Obama is something we the women are not going to stand by and watch," said Rep. Gwen Moore, D-Wis. "Their feckless and reckless speculation is unworthy of their offices as senators."

Said Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton, D-D.C.: "We will not allow a brilliant public servant's record to be mugged to cut off her consideration to be secretary of state."

At issue are Rice's statements in a series of television interviews five days after the attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans. Republicans insist that she should have labeled the incident an act of terrorism rather than cite a protest over an anti-Muslim video that had roiled cities in the Middle East.

Rice said she was providing the "best information and the best assessment we have today."

"In fact this was not a preplanned, premeditated attack. That what happened initially was that it was a spontaneous reaction to what had just transpired in Cairo as a consequence of the video," she said. "People gathered outside the embassy and then it grew very violent. Those with extremist ties joined the fray and came with heavy weapons, which unfortunately are quite common in post-revolutionary Libya, and that then spun out of control."

Acting CIA director Mike Morell has told congressional committees this week that Rice was relying on an initial intelligence assessment that eventually proved incorrect.

The House women vowed to fight any effort to make Rice a scapegoat for the explanations for the attack from the administration.

Andrew Wild: NFL Power Rankings

More than halfway through the season, we have a pretty good idea of who the powerhouses are. The road to New Orleans is looming upon us and we'll see what teams are on the fast track.

1. Houston Texans: They are an absurdly complete team. Defensively, they are anchored by an MVP worthy J.J Watt. It should be impossible for a second year player to lead a team who lost Mario Williams and Demeco Ryans in free agency, then lost Brian Cushing to injury, but that is exactly what he's done. Offensively, Arian Foster is the perfect compliment to the duo of Matt Schaub and Andre Johnson. Only a perfect Aaron Rodgers was able to blemish their record. This is a team ready for the Super Bowl.

2. Chicago Bears: They've very quietly been the best team in the NFC. After years of Jay Cutler's team always coming up just short, the additions of Brandon Marshall and QB Coach Jeremy Bates have been nothing short of perfect. Now that they have extreme output from the secondary (thanks to Major Wright and both cornerbacks) they don't have to rely solely on the front seven defensively. They look like team that's finally ready to put it all together. The loss to the Texans wasn't pretty, but that's why their on top.

3. Atlanta Falcons: After finally blemishing their record, no one has to listen to the insane argument that hey're the best team. They shouldn't have any trouble putting up points with Roddy White, Julio Jones and the never-aging Tony Gonzalez, but at points Matt Ryan has had trouble putting it all together. This team has been bad in the postseason in years past, but they're hoping this is the year they can make up for it.

4. San Francisco 49ers: The Jim Harbaugh experiment in the Bay Area continues to work wonders. If only Alex Smith was more than a lowly game manager. The 49ers do a better job than anyone in beating bad teams badly, but the offense hasn't stepped up against a good opponent. The Packers were not playing well in Week 1, and their losses to the Vikings and Giants were their only two matchups against playoff caliber teams.They need to step it up to prove they're a Super Bowl team.

5. Green Bay Packers: Thank God they finally found their groove. Their offense was in a funk at the start of the season, and clearly the defense wasn't going to bail them out. But now Rodgers and the boys in green have brought back the good vibes to Lambau Field. The loss of Clay Matthews for a period could prove interesting.

6. Denver Broncos: A good-as-ever Peyton Manning has done right by John Elway and put the Broncos in the drivers seat of the AFC West. After an inconsistent start to the season, the Broncos look unbelievable. They may be the hottest team right now, and going into the weakest second-half schedule in the league, everyone should be scared to face them.

7. New England Patriots: Tom Brady finally has a real running game behind him. And Bill Belicheck is still breathing so they are still a top 10 team. End of story.

8. New York Giants: Eli Manning, king of the fourth quarter, would give me a lot more faith if he could carry any of his magic into the first three quarters. They've had to pull way too many wins out of nowhere to be a favorite. A Manning Bowl is still on the horizon though.

9. Baltimore Ravens: The defense has taken way too many hits, but the offense is making up for that this year. If Ray Lewis comes back in time for playoffs watch out. They will be out for the final final harraugh.

10. Indianapolis Colts: I didn't jump on the Andrew Luck bandwagon, I built it up from stick and stones. All the talk was about RG3, and still is, but Luck has been unbelievably Peyton-esque. Number 10 seems high for the Clots, but I'd take them over Pitsburgh, Seattle. Minnesota, Miami and the Cowboys in a big game, so 10 they are.

Broadwell & Kelley Military Security Clearance Yanked - Fox Charlotte

CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Paula Broadwell's Dilworth home was still empty Wednesday as her alleged affair with now ex-CIA Director and retired four star General David Petraeus continues to unfold.?

Her neighbors have spoken on her behalf, saying "She is a very bright and accomplished woman."? But Broadwell is hiding out in her brother's DC home.? Interviews the author did months ago to promote the biography of Petraeus called "All In" are getting second looks.?

"For her right now, she needs to get in front of this. She needs to stop allowing her past interviews to be the voice of her present.? She needs to now come out and speak on behalf of herself," says Monica Wood.? Wood is the owner and lead strategist of MWPRInc, a Charlotte firm that specializes in crisis and brand reputation management.? She managed Wesley Snipe's message before he went to prison for tax evasion.

Wood says Broadwell needs to come home and face the music.? "Not because we are demanding her to speak, but for herself. For her protection, for her brand integrity, she needs to speak," says Wood.

Wood predicts Broadwell and Jill Kelley will get book deals, "Or a reality show. That's just the society we live in now.? It's our reality."? But making a buck off this scandal hinges on how it's handled now.? Wood says, "Broadwell can't go victim."?

Broadwell's husband, a radiologist in Charlotte, was reportedly seen at a DC airport Wednesday, prompting speculation he may be returning home.? Also, Broadwell has hired Washington attorney Robert Muse.? He works for the same firm that repped Monica Lewinsky.
