From the Reno Gazette Journal:

Tony Shelton, a longtime Reno television meteorologist who suffered from a mysterious illness for three years after a surfing accident, died Sunday at age 50.

Shelton worked at KRNV-TV News 4 from 1996 to early 2005, when he left due to his illness.

"We got to know his family," News 4 news director Jon Killoran said Wednesday. "His daughter, Jaime, was part of the coat drive Tony did every year. So everybody here that knew him and loved working with him is definitely thinking of (his wife) Carry and the kids and his parents.

"I worked with Tony 10 years and knew him to be a very dedicated and passionate weather forecaster and tremendously proud of being one of the pioneers to bring weather information to the Internet. It's tough when somebody you worked with so long and respected so long is gone."

While surfing in January 2003, Shelton was flipped by a wave and slammed into the ocean floor off Hawaii. He said he suffered uncontrollable shaking that lasted two to three hours after the incident.

"It's like I'm freezing to death," he said. "I can be warm on the outside, but freezing on the inside."

Shelton was hospitalized for nine months at Saint Mary's Regional Medical Center, returning to work in February 2004.

"I'm working through the illness," Shelton said then. "I'm not healed yet. I may be 50 percent there, or maybe more."

During Shelton's time at Saint Mary's, he received 3,400 e-mail messages from folks wishing him well.

"It shows the following he's amassed over the years," Killoran said. "When somebody like that leaves, if feels like you lost something that's part of you."

Shelton had said the experience gave him new perspective.

"I understand now what it's like to be alone," Shelton said. "When I knew I was going to be here for a while, I really started to realize what was truly important."

In September 1987, Shelton became chief meteorologist for KOLO-TV in Reno. He left to develop real-time weather information systems on the Internet. After receiving a patent for the technology in 1996, he became the chief meteorologist for News 4.

He also worked at KOAM-TV in Pittsburgh, Kan., WRCB-TV in Chattanooga, Tenn. and KOTV-TV in Tulsa, Okla.

He graduated from McKinney (Texas) High School in 1974, North Texas State University and Southwest Texas State University.

He married Carry Ann Randle in 1984 in Sherwood, Ark.

She survives with daughter Jaime, 16; son Andrew, 4; father William H. Shelton; mother Ruth Helen Tarkington Shelton; brothers Paul and John; three nephews and two nieces.

A lot of you are probably wonder why is SR writing about a weatherman? Well, I lived in Reno for quite a few years and Tony was not just a weatherman. He was a nice guy and someone who was involved in the community.

***UPDATE***

Straight from FOXnews.com:

LOS ANGELES — A screaming, crying Paris Hilton was ordered back to jail Friday to serve out the remainder of her 45-day sentence for a parole violation in a reckless driving case.

"It's not right!" shouted the weeping Hilton. "Mom!" she called out to her mother in the audience.

A witness said Hilton was "physically escorted" out of the courtroom by a female deputy.

The heiress will get credit for the five days she already served.

Hilton, 26, arrived in court Friday afternoon, sneaking past the media for the hearing that determined she was to be sent back to be jail. The sheriff's department that released her from prison picked her up at her home under judge's orders.

Hilton hugged her parents and her sister goodbye and appeared to be in handcuffs as she entered a black-and-white patrol car, in which she was photographed crying.

The car sped away from her home with lights flashing as news helicopters followed. Hilton arrived at the courthouse about 1:50 p.m. ET.

The reality star's parents were also at the courthouse, with her mother Kathy Hilton telling reporters: "It's in God's hands."

FOXnews is reporting right now that Paris Hilton was removed from the court screaming as he orders her back to jail to finish her sentence.

I will issue updates as it happens...

I was all set to right the post about what a travesty of justice it was when Paris Hilton was released today due to "Medical Reasons". Well apparently I, along with others thought that this was wrong.

Hours after Paris Hilton was sent home under house arrest, the judge who originally put her in jail ordered her back to court to determine whether she should be put back behind bars.

"The city attorney filed a petition for an order to show cause why the sheriff should not be held in contempt for releasing Ms. Hilton, and demanded that she be held in custody," Superior Court spokesman Allan Parachini said late Thursday afternoon.

Whoever authorized the release of Hilton should be at the minimum, lose their job and possibly even face charges. There are hundreds of women that are incarcerated with "medical conditions". Should they be released too? If Hilton is not sent back to jail, then any of the women in jail who have "medical conditions", should ask for immediate release. When this does not happen, they should file a lawsuit and sue the hell out of LA County or the State of California for discrimination.

Bottom line, if Hilton goes free, it will be another example of "Celebrity Justice"....
