Will Obama's Speech Air at the Same Time as the 2011 NFL Regular Season Opener?
I agree with cici - we'll have to wait and see. Lots of folks still upset that the speech will coincide with the pre-game show though.

What name will the first Hurricane category 4 and above have of the 2011 season?
REVISED FORECAST

NOAA is calling for more named storms

Hurricane forecasters are predicting more named storms than expected this season. The forecast now calls for 14 to 19 named storms, seven to 10 hurricanes and three to five major hurricanes, with winds of at least 111 mph, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Climate Prediction Center announced Thursday. The forecast increases what was already expected to be a busier-thanaverage season, which started June 1 and runs through Nov. 30.

In May, the prediction was 12 to 18 named storms in the Atlantic basin, with six to 10 hurricanes and three to six major hurricanes.

'The atmosphere and Atlantic Ocean are primed for high hurricane activity during August through October,' said Gerry Bell, lead seasonal hurricane forecaster at the Climate Prediction Center, in a statement. 'Storms through October will form more frequently and become more intense than we've seen so far this season.' Forecasters point to an era of heightened Atlantic hurricane activity, the third-highest temperatures on record in the Atlantic and the possible redevelopment of La Niña as reasons for the more active season.
