Thats the spirit, judge. Well done, playa, to fly back down to florida to claim his big winnings. He bought the ticket with two friends. Were all going to opt for the cash lump sum, which means each will get 40 million. And the story gets even better. His brother also a winner in wednesdays powerball drawing. He won 7. Next to his brother, holding a check for almost 300 million. There you go, hes the brother of a new playa. So it doesnt matter. Not a bad connection to have when your brother is worth 40 million next to you. This is why i dont check the lottery tickets. I dont check it because i dont winsome you may have a little problem there. Thats a lot of tickets. Congrats judge, were jealous. The next phase to extend i drive a racecar. I have a driver. His name is carl. But thats not what we all have in common. We talked to our doctors about treatment with xarelto. Xarelto is proven to treat and help reduce the risk of dvt and pe blood clots. Xarelto is also proven to reduce the risk of stroke in people with afib, not caused by a heart valve problem. For people with afib currently well managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. You know, taking warfarin, i had to deal with that blood testing routine. I couldnt have a healthy salad whenever i wanted. I found another way. Yeah, treatment with xarelto. Hey, safety first. Like all blood thinners, dont stop taking xarelto without talking to your doctor, as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. While taking, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. Xarelto may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. Xarelto can cause serious and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. Get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. If you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto , watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. Heart valve or abnormal bleeding. Tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. Before starting xarelto , tell your doctor about any kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. Xarelto is the number one prescribed blood thinner in its class. Well that calls for a round of kevin nealons. Make mine an arnold palmer. Same here. With xarelto there is no regular blood monitoring and no known dietary restrictions. Treatment with xarelto was the right move for us. Ask your doctor about xarelto. Hey, have you heard . Heard what . Before School Starts in september, all kids going into 7th and 12th grade have to get the meningococcal vaccine. It protects against diseases like meningitis.

Temperatures are above freezing this morning, and from here on out, we get a nice warm up. The skies are improving. Mainly, north and east of the city, you can see were sort of socked in with the clouds but the brightness is increasing and so are the temperatures. We have the area. Quick moving showers are not amounting to much at all. Dont be surprised if you see a neighborhood. Not expecting it to stick or temperatures are coming up fast, too, above freezing in many spots. 28 in monticello right now. Looking at the temperature change from long island in towards the city, temperatures approaching the upper 30s. Its about a handful of degrees, warmer than it was yesterday, but were going to continue with this trend through the next several days. Going 40s, 50s tomorrow, 60s and then 70s by wednesday.

We start with sunshine. You wont need the heavy coat. Afternoon pushing the upper 50s to near 60 degrees. Tuesday even warmer. No storms until thursday. So these snow showers that have been lingering off to the west morning, say 10 00, then sunshine takes over. Thats when we hit that 46. Mainly clear. I dont think that we go below freezing again at least for the next 7 days. 57 on monday afternoon. Check the numbers here through the accuweather 7day forecast. Were going to feel like april by tuesday. 66 degrees. Then by wednesday, the record warmth. By the way, this record set back in 2000 of 69 degrees.

A real wet day and heavy rain. Friday we get a brief shower, and saturday temperatures in the mid50s. Theres no extreme cold there, and its only that one day that we hit the 70degree day, and 670 and sunshine. 70 and sunshine. Its going fob a little bit of san diego.
