PM Update from Starkville...

* Saw probably the best presentation ever this morning...Matthew Seals told his story. Matthew was injured in the F5 tornado that struck Jefferson County, Alabama on April 8, 1998. His eight-year-old son Nathan died in the tornado, and his story really brings the tragedy home. In the news business, many have become numb to tragedy. Hearing stories like Matthew Seals' really teaches a great lesson to media. I only wish more people could have heard his story.

* More speakers on the docket today. Right now Bethany Ruschill, a talent evaluator from Frank Magid and Associates, is discussing "how to get a job, and keep it." Many people in the room are graduating this May, so they are really taking good notes! After she's done, we'll have a roundtable discussion about the biggest issues facing broadcast meteorologists.

* Check out Charles Daniel's forecast tonight at 5,6, and 10. Also, be sure to check out this space for more updates on the conference.
