=> Bullying, Discrimination And Sexual Pressures
"Big Problems" For Today's Tweens And Younger Kids; Parents Often Wait For
Their Kids To
Raise Tough Issues Nickelodeon Launches Public Information Partnership with
Kaiser Family
Foundation and Children Now to Get Kids and Parents Talking Together
Large numbers of 8-11 year olds say teasing and bullying (74%),
discrimination and disrespect
(43%), and threats of violence (38%) occur at their school. One third of
10-11 year olds (33%) say
that pressure to have sex is a "big problem" for kids their age. Yet, many
parents still put off talking
about tough issues with their children, according to a new national survey
of parents and kids.
Parents are especially likely to delay talking about puberty, sex and
related issues. Two thirds of
parents of 8-11 year olds (61%) report that their child initiated the first
conversation about the basics
of reproduction. In two out of five families, discussions about puberty
(40%) and HIV/AIDS (38%)
were also started by the child.
Even when parents and kids do talk, the survey finds that the message isn't
always getting through.
>From a third to more than half of 8-11 year olds whose parents say they have
talked with them
about a particular issue do not recall the conversation. For example, 59
percent of kids whose
parents say they discussed HIV/AIDS don't remember the conversation. Parents
are also more
likely than kids to say that talks about these issues occur "regularly,"
while kids tend to recall just
one or two discussions.

=> National Drought Summary -- March 6, 2001
The Southeast: Torrential rain (4 inches or more) fell from southeastern
Louisiana to west-central
Georgia, resulting in a general reduction of abnormally dry (D0) and
moderate drought (D1)
conditions. Locally as much as a foot of rain drenched southern portions of
Mississippi and
Alabama. Only 1 to 2 inches of precipitation fell, however, in the southern
Appalachians and
adjacent piedmont areas, leaving an area of extreme drought (D3) intact,
primarily in western North
Carolina. On March 4, showers and thunderstorms swept across Florida's
peninsula, temporarily
easing citrus irrigation requirements. Despite the rain, which locally
totaled 2 inches or more in
west-central and north-central sections of the peninsula, an area of
exceptional drought (D4)
persisted. Between January 1 and March 5, more than 1,500 Florida wildfires
burned nearly
108,000 acres. As of March 5, the Florida Division of Forestry's
county-level Keetch-Byram
Drought Index--a wildfire danger indicator--remained above 600 (on a scale
of 0 to 800, with 800
being maximum dryness) in 20 central and southern Florida counties.
The Central Appalachians: In early March, a sprawling East Coast storm
brought generally light
precipitation to an area of hydrological dryness (D0) in southern West
Virginia and surrounding
locations. Farther north, locally an inch or more of liquid equivalent fell
in western sections of
Pennsylvania and New York, resulting in a slight improvement of abnormally
dry (D0) conditions.
The Plains: Severe drought (D2) persisted in parts of Montana, where cold,
mostly dry weather
prevailed. Farther south, hydrological dryness (D0) concerns lingered in
western and southern
Nebraska, while a pocket of moderate drought (D1) continued to affect
west-central Iowa.
However, as much as 0.7 inch of moisture brought additional relief to the
formerly dry (D0) area in
northeastern Kansas. In western Texas and southeastern New Mexico, a wintry
mix of precipitation,
totaling 0.7 inch or less, dampened topsoils but brought little relief from
large long-term moisture
deficits. Only light showers (mostly 0.5 inch or less) fell in extreme
southern Texas, following
extremely dry conditions last year, necessitating an upgrade to moderate
drought (D1) conditions.
The West: An average of 3 inches of precipitation fell in the Sierra Nevada,
boosting the water
content of the high-elevation snow pack to 21 inches (85 percent of the
early-March normal) by
March 6, according to the California Department of Water Resources.
Nevertheless, summer
water-supply concerns persist in California and other areas fed by the
Sierra Nevada spring runoff.
More serious precipitation deficits exist in key watershed areas in the
Pacific Northwest and
northern Rockies, where moderate hydrological drought (D1) continues. A
small area of severe
drought (D2) was added in the northern Cascades of Washington, where
water-year precipitation
(since October 1, 2000) is running barely 50 percent of normal, according to
USDA's SNOTEL
network. In the Skagit River Basin, low water levels in the Baker and
Shannon Reservoirs caused
power generation to be halted to allow for reservoir recharge.
Hawaii and Puerto Rico: Generally dry weather prevailed in Hawaii, following
recent drought-easing
rainfall. In addition, temperatures climbed well above normal in many areas,
peaking at daily-record
levels (85°F on February 27) in Honolulu, Oahu. Hardest hit by the ongoing
drought remains
western Molokai, where extreme drought (D3) conditions exist for
agricultural concerns and the
threat of wildfires. Meanwhile, widespread showers dotted Puerto Rico,
although little change was
noted in the abnormally dry (D0) area along the southwestern coast. In
addition, the area was
expanded to encompass some southern and eastern portions of the island, in
part due to low
streamflows.
Looking Ahead: Weather features to watch in the next 10-day period that may
affect areas
experiencing dryness or drought include: 1) Additional precipitation is
expected in the Sierra Nevada
as another storm follows this year's preferred storm track southeastward
across or near the
California coast; 2) Farther north, only light precipitation is forecast
across the Northwest; 3) Mostly
dry weather is forecast on the northern Plains; 4) Two more storms are
forecast to emerge from the
southwestern United States by mid-March. The first will cross the nation's
southern tier later this
week, bringing the likelihood of precipitation to the southern High Plains
and a chance of showers in
the Southeast; 5) The NWS 6-10 day outlook for March 13-17 calls for wet
weather in the
Southeast, except southern Florida; a continuation of unfavorably dry
conditions in the Northwest;
and the return of mostly dry weather in California.

=> Pennsylvania's -- "SKYWARN Spotter Recognition Week"
Acting Governor, Donald DiFransisco Signs Proclamation
The Mount Holly National Weather Service Forecast Office
SKYWARN Technical Committee will be celebrating "Volunteer SKYWARN Spotter
Recognition
Week" in conjunction with Pennsylvania's "Hazardous Weather Awareness Week"
during the week
of March 18, 2001.
SKYWARN began in the mid 1900's as a developing network of severe weather
spotters who
reported back to the Weather Bureau. Many of the spotters had their amateur
radio license and
used radio to communicate weather data. Today, there are more than
167,000spotters in the United
States, 1500 are in New Jersey.
SKYWARN Spotters are trained volunteer weather observers who work closely
with the National
Weather Service (NWS) to bring reports of severe weather, which in turn
assists the NWS
meteorologists in verifying what they observe on radar. Warnings and updated
forecasts are
sometimes based on these 'ground truth' observations of these trained
spotters.
There have been 158 nationally declared weather disasters in the United
States since 1998, three in
New Jersey including Tropical Storm Floyd, Atlantic County floods, and the
Sussex County floods
and land slides. Over 50,000 people were affected in New Jersey and 1.2
billion dollars in property
losses were suffered. The number one weather killer in the United States and
in New Jersey is flash
flooding. SKYWARN spotters help to verify Doppler radar reflectivity by
calling in ground truth
rainfall totals.
The Mount Holly Technical Committee has quarterly meetings and all
interested parties are invited
to attend. In addition to the meetings, the group publishes a quarterly
electronic newsletter, "The
Weather Report", maintains an up to date website at
http://wx2phi.skywarn.com/
and 42 county specific satellite fed severe weather warning List-servers
that automatically send out
emails of watches and warnings as they are issued by the NWS.
Every spring the group ushers in severe weather season by arranging SKYWARN
Spotter Training
Sessions to instruct new spotters and refresh seasoned spotters. The
training sessions are free and
open to all over the age of 16.
To help celebrate the gubernatorial proclamation the Mount Holly NWS
Technical Committee will
be setting up and emergency amateur radio communication system and will be
on the air on Sunday,
March 18, 2001. There will be tests on the amateur radio frequencies, test
announcements on
NOAA Weather Radio and school presentations on weather safety. For more
information, please
visit the website at
http://wx2phi.skywarn.com/ .

above website. To see information regarding the special drills that will
take place during the week of
the 18th, please go to
