FORT DRUM, N.Y. (AP) — Miranda Mogg spent her childhood following her father whenever he was assigned to a new U.S. military post. This time they're headed overseas together.
The 21-year-old Army specialist and her father, Chief Warrant Officer 5 Michael Mogg, are members of the 10th Combat Aviation Brigade based at Fort Drum in northern New York.
The Watertown Daily Times reports that the Moggs will be among the 1,800 soldiers from the brigade deploying to Afghanistan in the next month. The father and daughter both serve in brigade's Headquarters and Headquarters Company.
The elder Mogg, a 29-year Army veteran, is the helicopter unit's master gunner. He's in his second stint at Fort Drum and about to make his fifth deployment. His daughter is an intelligence analyst who's facing her first deployment.

A different approach to energy efficiency is surging in New York City. At the Pearson Court Square in Long Island City, three sleek-looking wind turbines are perched on the roof. The turbines convert kinetic energy from the wind into electrical power. Wind in New York City doesn't just blow north or south. It swirls all over the place.

If you've been to Staten Island chances are you've eaten here at Goodfellas. It now says it's closed for renovations, hopefully they will be doing some renovating because some of those health code violations involve mice. The pizzeria has won several awards, catered for a presidential yacht and was recently famous because Mayor Bill de Blasio ate pizza there with a fork and knife.

No number of flawless fall afternoons can erase our memories of the winter that we added "polar vortex" to our daily vocabulary. This spiral of cold air sits atop the North Pole. During last winter, it dropped down to blanket part of the United States.
