BC Student observes UN

hurricane
storm is expected to move up the East Coast, then turn west and make landfall.
“Where it decides to hook left is what’s going to determine everything for everybody,” Field said. “Anyone from Maryland to Maine is under the gun. But somebody is going to get whacked.”
The storm will be powerful and widespread, he warned, and “if it gets up in our area, all bets are off.”
Even if the storm makes landfall to the south, it will likely roil the ocean, stirring up mighty waves of 40 to 50 feet in the open ocean and 25 feet along the coast, Field said.
The weather service today issued a hazardous weather outlook and a marine weather statement that warned of a “dangerous and potentially life-threatening storm” for mariners. The service advised mariners to return to port by Saturday and continue to monitor weather forecasts.
Supercomputer forecasting models show that the Category 2 hurricane could make landfall on the East Coast anywhere from Maryland to Maine late Monday into Tuesday.
bogar
On most baseball teams, the manager and the bench coach work closely together and are often close friends. But Bobby Valentine and Tim Bogar went long stretches without speaking this past season.
Valentine was fired as Red Sox manager Oct. 4, and on Thursday came word from team sources that Bogar will not be returning.
Bogar, 45, spent four seasons with the Sox. He was the first base coach in 2009, the third base coach from 2010-11, and then the bench coach.
New Red Sox manager John Farrell is expected to name Torey Lovullo as his bench coach. Lovullo was considered by Valentine for the job last December before he settled on Bogar.

Brady
Patriots quarterback Tom Brady said on Monday morning that he was happy with his team's Week 7 overtime win over the New York Jets, but noted that there is plenty of room for improvement.
"I'm certainly pleased by winning. I think that's the most important thing," he told the "Dennis & Callahan" show on WEEI sports radio in Boston (listen here). "Whether you win by a point or 10 points or 30 points, they all count the same. And we've been on the losing end of a one-point, a one-point, and a two-point game, and it feels good to win a three-point game.
