[Best Syndication News] It's Groundhog Day a holiday that is recognized on February 2nd in the US and in Canada. The holiday is rather a fun one, that has the animal rights people wanting a robot groundhog to be used instead of a real one. If the groundhog sees its shadow it will go back underground and there will be six more weeks of winter. If the groundhog doesn't see its shadow then winter is almost over.
The Pennsylvania German's have made this a tradition, with the folklore of predicting spring. The largest celebration of Groundhog Day with crowds gathering upwards of 40,000 people are in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania. All to see if the groundhog will go back into hiding.
It appears that it was different results for more winter or early spring as the following cities have reported according to Wikipedia. 9 cities reported an early spring, while 5 cities reported 6 mores weeks of winter.

[Best Syndication News] On last night's ABC's The Bachelor TV show we got to watch Jake romance the final five women in San Francisco. One of the girls, Ali, happens to live in San Francisco, so she gets to be a tour guide for Jake and she admits that she is falling for him.
Ali and Vienna have been having a feud with each other. So the tensions are on between the two of them.
Jake took Vienna and Gia out on the Two-on-one date. Jake wasn't giving out roses during the dates this week, nor did he send anyone home. He saved that until the very end during the rose ceremony. Gia tried to get some extra time in with Jake by sneaking up to his hotel room with two glasses of wine. Jake liked it but asked her to leave before he does something. Ooops, I guess Gia might have come on too strong and scared Jake a little bit.
