Sherri shepherd what is a tornado

On top of this, it all happens the same week as The Wizard of Oz remake Tin Man with its own twister. Maybe the screenwriters were trying to send some sort of message in anticipation of the strike? Crank it up. Best use of music this week: J. Cale's "Crazy Mama" playing as Riggins discovers the meth lab in his slovenly new roommate's trailer on Friday Night Lights.

Not for nothing, but that's got to be the fattest, slowest-moving speed freak in Texas. It's just a shot away. Next best use of music this week: The pixilated opening strains of the Stones' "Gimme Shelter" playing on Monday's Life as Crews has his pivotal encounter with Beth in the elevator.

I could also swear this episode was resurrecting Lenny and Squiggy in the persons of dopey dot-com entrepreneurs Ryan and Sean. Lander Squiggy. The good, the bad, the elephant. Verizon used to have terrible commercials, with that guy wandering around constantly asking, "Can you hear me now? The topper is delivered with perfect timing: "Does it bite?

They are sleeping baggage carousels. They've kind of created their own little family of people as they are waiting for their flights to go out tomorrow morning. They are hoping that they can go out tomorrow morning. That's when the airport says that they expect to be at about 70 percent of their normal activity at the airport.

So ideally they will get those people to where they want to go by Easter morning. But that could all change depending on the progress that they make here tonight. As you can kind of hear in the background behind me, there's lots of hammering and drilling as they are working to repair some of the broken glass and try and get this airport operational and fully functional as soon as they can.

Thank You, Casey. No let up in the brutal crackdown. Government crackdown in Syria. Witnesses tell CNN that government security forces opened fire from roof tops today killing at least ten protesters who turned out to mourn dozens who were killed on Friday.

Friday's crackdown was one of Syria's bloodiest battles yet. Nearly 80 people were killed when security forces and demonstrators clashed across several cities. Now to Libya, the Pentagon confirms the U. It happened earlier today. Details were scant, but NATO says the unmanned air strike destroyed a multiple rocket launcher used by Gadhafi forces outside the western city of Misrata. The launcher was being used to target civilian there. And a major victory today for rebels in that key coastal city.

Opposition leaders say they successfully forced Gadhafi troops out of Misrata City Center. They have also retaken the city's critical port. Libya's government admits its soldiers are retreating, but vows tribal fighters will remain. A rebel's spokesman says Gadhafi is simply trying to disguise his army's defeat. Gadhafi still clings to power, but Yemen's embattled leader said he is ready to quit.

A government official says President Ali Abdullah Saleh has agreed in principle to step down within 30 days. Yemen's neighboring Persian Gulf nations brokered the agreement which grants complete immunity for Saleh and members of his regime, but Saleh has yet to sign it.

The deal comes after months' of deadly protest across that country. Anti-government activists are pushing for reforms. Just ahead here on CNN. Imagine chatting with a loved one via Webcam and seeing them attacked right before your very eyes. But you're helpless to do anything about it. This horrible nightmare really happened, and that story is next for you.

And do you remember the missing teenager. Her name is Phylicia Barnes. There are new and tragic details to tell you about tonight. And many of you have been asking for information about the stories that we cover and social media. A year-old exchange student from Beijing was in her Toronto apartment chatting with her boyfriend in China over a Webcam. Suddenly a man knocked on her door asking to use phone. Then police say her boyfriend watched the screen helplessly as the man attacked her and then shut off her computer.

She was later found dead naked from the waist down. The crime sounds very much like something you would see rip from the headlines on a show like CSI. Jim, this is a horrible crime. But the Webcam adds another layer to it, doesn't it? It's as if they created an accidental cyber witness in this case. And basically documented something that happens often, but nobody really gets a chance to see it.

Reports say that the boyfriend who witnessed this tried to reach the victims friend. Two friends and the landlord found her body ten hours later. But why weren't the police involved earlier? Was there a window here to save her life that was missed?

Perhaps it's this phenomenon that people when they see or experience something over the Internet, they don't take it seriously. Maybe he didn't really understand that her life was being threatened at that point.

But he certainly could have, I guess, called and hopefully they would have intervened. Her body was naked from the waist down. The police say there were no obvious signs of sexual assault. We're also awaiting the cause of death. So when the coroner's report comes back, what will they likely find here? But when you see a body like this that is naked from the waist down, there was at least sexual intent.

And it maybe that he was interrupted and didn't get to finish what he had plan on doing, or the sexual activity that he actually engaged in was some kind of paraphilia that wasn't what we will call normal sex. Let's talk about the suspect. The suspect in this case is Brian Dixon, 29 years old, tall. Some have said he's good looking. How would he know to target this victim and why?

But I will tell you, the offender had to be slightly educated in that he used a ruse. And that tells us that he has a level of sophistication, that he understands that he needs to assess the situation before he just barges in.

So he knocked on the door, he asked to use the phone to assess her vulnerability, her security awareness and probably also to determine if there was anybody else in the place. LEMON: Have you ever done a case like this on "Criminal Minds," and are these shows helping or hurting law enforcement by giving killers a how-to about these investigations. We focus on the victims. Actually, what we focus on is not the forensics on how to commit a better crime, but we focus on the behavior that the offender does that's intrinsic to that person.

It's very difficult for an offender to change that kind of behavior because it satisfies a need or desire of that particular offender. It's going to air next month about bodies showing up or remains showing up on a beach and so sometimes it just happens that the shows that you put on the air document something that happens in real life as well. They found a few teeth there. Does that say anything? Can you get DNA from that? Is that going to be helpful in the investigation?

That's the latest from Long Island. It depends. It's not the quantity of teeth, it would be the quality of teeth, the condition that they are in, but sure.

It certainly capable to derive DNA from human teeth and identify a person. Thank you very much for that. Jim Clemente, we really appreciate you joining us here on Saturday night.

Up next here, a mother's plea. My interview with Phylicia Barnes' mother, including her powerful and emotional plea to those responsible for her daughter's disappearance. Authorities say the body of Phylicia Barnes, that year-old missing honor student from North Carolina has been found.

Dam workers discovered her nude body in a Maryland river this week. Barnes vanished in December after traveling to Baltimore to visit her half sister. The body of an unidentified man was also found in the river about four miles downstream. Officials say there's no evidence linking the two deaths, other than the close proximity of their bodies. It just without it, it would have been an incredibly difficult case. Their first task is to identify the male found in the river near Barnes.

Obviously, it is a tragic ending for a bright and promising teen and a sad outcome for her parents and so many others who had held out hope since her disappearance last December. I want you to listen to my interview with Phylicia's mother who came on the show back in January, particularly though her surprise emotional plea at the end of her daughter's safety.

And you trusted this older person, I think her name is Adina. LEMON: And you trusted her and you said for you there were some odd circumstances on the evening that your daughter disappeared that you're concerned about?

And still a lot of loose ties that -- and a lot of dead fish that's continued to smell that makes sense to me. Do you want to talk about it? SALLIS: The time frames and that she had fallen asleep on the couch and it wonders if she fell asleep because she was doped up because that's not her character, to get dressed just to fall asleep.

When she gets dressed, she's anxious to go to where she's planning on going. We talked about that. Some of the criticism we got in e- mails, social media, even the police said that he felt that some of the national media, that it was anemic. They're calling this Baltimore Police say it's their Natalee Holloway but they're not seeing it all over the media.

Do you care to comment on that? The issues that racial and social issues, that's not important to me. SALLIS: I want my baby back, and if -- even if I had her back, the racial and social issues still wouldn't be important to me because to me its wasteless and I don't focus on wasteful situations.

Do you have some idea of what you believe happened? SALLIS: I can't honestly answer that because all type of ideas go through my head on what happened, what could have happened, what may have happened. You have to deal with it as it comes. There's no way to prepare. However, I feel that she's being terribly mistreated inhumanely so.

Thank you so much. And we admire your courage and we're going to continue to follow this story and put her picture out there and thank you for being so honest.

Best of luck. Our thoughts and prayers, OK. I'm going to plead with all shut lips who knows about it, the perpetrators who have been involved in her disappearance.

I'm going to ask you to please let my baby go. However, if you choose not to listen to what I'm begging of you, I have already went to god and have written down in black and white the punishment that I have requested for each and every individual who is involved, and it's not very nice and it's going to be way, way far than what you think you can bear.

However, first come, first serve would get the least punishment from God. He said they are heartbroken. Especially her mother who he says is having a tough time just keeping it together. He thanked me for interviewing Phylicia's mother and putting the story on national television, and tonight our thoughts and prayers are with Phylicia's family and friends.

It's part of their growing craze about the event now just six days away. The last time this abbey saw a big royal wedding was when Prince Andrew married Fergie.

Now it's just a few days go for us to see Prince William marry Kate Middleton. The excitement, Don, is building up. I talked to a few people today. Listen to what they have to say. I didn't want to be here on the day because it would be way too busy. I'm having my mom tape it for me, even though I'm going to be in the U.

But like she said, a little too busy, a little too crowded. Probably best to see it today. I don't think it's going to be anything like Diana's. I still remember watching Diana and Charles' wedding when I was a little girl and it was just unbelievable.

It's exciting to be here. Everybody is very excited. People are happy, so it's a great atmosphere. And we Americans will come in and see the beautiful sights and then we'll be out of town. There are members obviously of the royal family, also foreign royal dignitaries, as well as members of the defense and political establishment in this country.

And, of course, I had to pick out the celebrities here. Elton John, a close friend of the late Princess Diana, is invited. Rowan Atkinson, better known as "Mr. Bean," will also be here. David and Victoria Beckham are invited. So it's Easter weekend here. Where are Prince William and Kate Middleton?

They are, according to Clarence House, spending Easter weekend with family, and they're out in the countryside. Just a few more days to go before their big day.

And, Don, everyone here is saying, will the weather hold up on Friday? We're keeping our figurers crossed - Don. We want to remind you, CNN's coverage of the big day begins at a. Eastern this Friday. The royal wedding, as we said, less than a week away, about six days.

And while there's been a lot of hype leading up to it, we want to know how many Americans, how many of you really care, and if so why or why not? In the video, the talk show host danced to Bruno Mars ' "Uptown Funk.

Shepherd, who was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes back in , has been working to improve her health since March when she went on a sugar-free keto diet. A year after she began the diet, the former View host saw an improvement in her diabetes. She added, "I feel so good I could scream.

Just want to encourage you that this can be done. You have people who love you and need you to be here. Live for you!
