Spring is here. The burgh looks fantastic. It’s more like late April or early May. Though, here in Pittsburgh we know not to breathe easy just yet. One of the biggest snowstorms we ever had was on a St. Patrick’s day. We had the parade anyway! That will tell you all you need to know about Pittsburgers.Spring is here. The burgh looks fantastic.

Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum on Friday blasted rivals former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich for their past support of legislation to combat global warming, saying that politicians shouldn’t change “when the climate changes.”
“When the climate changed about man-made global warming in this country and everybody rushed to say we need to do something now about this huge problem, I didn’t change,” the former Pennsylvania proudly declared at an event at the USS Alabama Battleship Park. “This climate science of man-made global warming is not climate science, it was political science.”
“I didn’t sit on a couch with anybody,” Santorum added, referring to an ad Gingrich had made with then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) calling for mandatory carbon caps.
“I didn’t go out and crow as Gov. Romney did when he was governor of Massachusetts about imposing the first CO2 cap, the first CO2 cap in the country,” Santorum continued. “Both of them say, ‘Yeah, we have to do something about man-made global warming.’”
“We don’t need somebody who changes when the climate changes,” the candidate remarked. “We need somebody who looks at science with a clear head and a level eye.”
In their quest to woo GOP voters, both Gingrich and Romney have tempered their support for climate change legislation in the past year.
Late last year, Gingrich admitted that appearing in the ad with Pelosi was “the dumbest single thing I’ve done in the last few years.”
In October, Romney told voters in Pittsburgh that “the idea of spending trillions and trillions of dollars to try to reduce CO2 emissions is not the right course for us.”
Santorum, however, has said he never believed the global warming “hoax.”
“I’ve never supported even the hoax of global warming,” he insisted last month, adding that Gingrich and Romney “bought into the science of man-made global warming, and they bought into the remedy, both of which are bogus.”

I know, I know. WHAT is she yakking about now? I’ll start at the beginning.
The house we are in now was built in 1953 and had a septic system. Might have been fine back in the day but by the time I moved in it was a cranky and I swear, plotted against me just for giggles! I could do one load of laundry and then wait 5 hours and one person could take a shower. That was when it was having a happy day.By Sherry Pasquarello,WWH (Pittsburgh in the 60s) -

French heavyweight Cheick Kongo snatched victory from the jaws of defeat by knocking out Pat (HD) Barry in the first round Sunday night in the makeshift main event of a televised UFC card.
Kongo (26-6-2) was knocked down twice and looked out on his feet but somehow survived to stage the comeback. Barry (6-3) seemed fully in control but when he rushed in to finish the fight, he walked straight into a right to the head and vicious uppercut that knocked him senseless.

We know we’re creating problems that the next generation will be left to fix, so the least we can do is to give them the skills to fix them, and yet we’re still failing on a grand scale. The good news is that we’re discovering new ways to help them work out how to do this for themselves.We know we’re creating problems that the next generation will be left to fix, so... more

Pittsburgh Police Chief Nate Harper released a statement on Monday, concerning a video that shows a fan being beaten by an officer at a Pirates game.
The video, which was posted on YouTube, apparently shows 41-year-old Scott Ashley confronting police after he was asked to leave Saturday night's game against the Colorado Rockies.
The video, shot by a fan at Saturday's game, has been posted on YouTube.
In his statement, Harper did not address specifics of the case, rather explained Pittsburgh police policy.
"The Bureau of Police recognizes that police officers, in the performance of their duties, will encounter situations where is necessary to use force in order to effect an arrest or otherwise protect the public welfare or as a means of protecting themselves. Officers shall only use a level of force that the officers might reasonably believe is necessary. Each Use of Force is documented and reviewed by each officer’s supervisor and members in their Chain of Command," the statement said.
"The actions of the subject in this incident which necessitated the Use of Force and the reasons why the officers used force are documented and reviewed. The City of Pittsburgh expressly forbids any Use of Force that is excessive. As a matter of policy this incident and all incidents where force is utilized are reviewed.
"The PBP recognizes the importance of video evidence when reviewing any interactions between the police and the public. This is demonstrated by the installation of video cameras in our patrol vehicles," Harper said in the statement.
In the video, police can be seen asking Ashley to leave the game. Ashley refuses, prompting the crowd to chant "USA," in a reference to the jacket Ashley was wearing.
According to the criminal complaint, police said Ashley was being unruly, used foul language and refused to leave the park.
Police said at one point, Ashley asked one of the officers to move so he could watch the game.
According to the police report, as police were escorting Ashley out of the park, a fan gave him a high-five. Shortly after that moment is when police said Ashley threatened and then slapped a PNC park employee, an action that can be seen on the video.
The video then shows police using a Taser and batons to get Ashley under control.
The Latest: Fan Still In Jail
"Not only could I see the action that transpired in the bleacher general admission area, where everything transpired, but also I got to see everything from the fan being tasered and beaten to the 'USA, USA' chants," said witness Zachary Weiss.
Pirates management released a statement saying they received several complaints about Ashley and asked him to leave and that when he refused and threatened the staff, it became a police matter.
Ashely is facing several charges including resisting arrest and disorderly conduct. As of Monday morning, he remained in the Allegheny County Jail.

I stumbled upon this local artist and I'm hooked! I've never seen anything like her before. She uses hip hop as a medium, but puts her own new age twist on it. If you're big on lyrics, listen close because this girl has a lot to say. Kellee Maize is a really unique artist with a lot of talent. Check her out!
