ESPN anchor Hannah Storm, seriously burned in a propane gas grill accident at her home three weeks ago, will be back on the air on New Year's Day. Storm suffered second-degree burns on her chest and hands, and first-degree burns to her face and neck. She lost her eyebrows and eyelashes, and roughly half her hair. The 50-year-old TV anchor will host ABC's telecast of the 2013 Rose Parade on Tuesday. Her left hand will be bandaged and she said viewers might notice a difference in her hair texture where extensions have been added. "I'm a little nervous about things I used to take for granted,"' she said in a phone interview with the Associated Press this weekend from Pasadena, Calif.

"Frankly, we don't think the timing of this is particularly helpful," Nuland told reporters, citing North Korea's launch of a long-range rocket in December. "They are well aware of our views."People familiar with the plans tell The Associated Press that Richardson, a former governor of New Mexico, former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations and diplomatic troubleshooter, and Schmidt, a top figure in the U.S. technology industry and a key executive at the world's leading search engine company, could visit as early as this month.

Key:

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
