Editor’s Note...We have a meteorological intern with us this summer and one of their tasks is to develop their storytelling skills. The weather blog is an excellent medium to fine tune your meteorological storytelling. So without further ado, here is Tyler Hughes with tonight’s blog!…Take it away Tyler! ~JeremyThanks JR! A bit of an introduction first – I was born in Boston and grew up just down the road in Hampton, NH. New England’s sometimes unique weather inspired me to pursue it as a career, and now I’m a rising junior in Penn State’s meteorology program. I’ve been thoroughly enjoying my time here so far over the past few weeks, but the weather has been a different story.

Robbins: Classic musical puts rise of hate center stage

The Berkshire mountains of western Massachusetts are as uplifting a place as there is to find oneself in June, and hardly someplace that summons to mind the bitter battles for America’s soul presently being waged. There’s a kind of moral hand-to-hand combat going on within the country. Which side ultimately prevails – rededication to tolerance and truth-telling, on one hand, or venom and conspiracy theories, on the other – remains very much a jump ball.The Berkshires are known for the explosion of performing arts during the summer months. Among the artistic institutions that attract the highest quality talent is Pittsfield’s Barrington Stage Company, which chose to begin the season by staging a revival of the musical “Cabaret,”’ a deeply sobering portrayal of Germany’s descent into Nazism during the 1930s. It centers on two characters, Clifford Bradshaw, an American who has come to Berlin to write, and Sally Bowles, an English entertainer who headlines a raunchy nightclub. It is pri...
