MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Equal opportunity in the classroom was a big part of Dr. King's campaign for civil rights.
When the Supreme Court ordered an end to segregation, some assumed the battle had been won and the struggle was over.
But after much research, we've discovered reality rarely measures up.
"The school system was segregated. The administration was segregated. We had no blacks on the school board," Willie Herenton, former Mayor of Memphis, said. "I'm the product of a racially segregated school system."
From segregation to integration, Herenton knows the view from the valley and the mountaintop.
"He'll be the first to acknowledge his pathway to Memphis City Hall started in segregated Memphis City Schools.
"Many black scholars will contend that when the schools were segregated we had better teachers they cared about us and understood out culture," Herenton said.
He cautiously argues the hallways of equal education were complicated by the nation's reaction to integration.
"Some scholars will argue that integration really placed African-Americans in some kind of cultural shackle," Herenton said.
Daniel Kiel is a graduate of Harvard Law and currently a law professor at The University of Memphis.
"You look back at some of the historic black schools in our community and people look back with such nostalgia. They say integration ruined them," Kiel said. "But only because integration was enacted in such a way that tilted the burden almost exclusively on the African American community."
Professor Kiel lectures frequently on segregation and has researched and written extensively on civil rights.
He believes unintended consequences of court ordered integration are still being felt today.
Decades later, Memphis is still trying to fix that problem.
"I can't say enough that there have been some challenges," Shante Avant, chair of The Shelby County School Board, said.
She also says we can't ignore the victories.
"We have 16 schools come off of our bottom five list just this past year. That's something for us to be proud," Avant said.
The district can also boast it has four nationally ranked high school and 35 school performing in the top five percent of the state.
Yet, even the superintendent realizes more needs to be done.
"We still have a long way to go because I think the ghosts of poverty still haunt us," Dorsey Hopson said. "You have to be conditioned to take advantage of the equal opportunity and equal access."
While the district has shown consistent improvement over the past several years, a thorough examination of statistics from the Tennessee Department of Education reveals the Shelby County School District is one of the lowest performing districts in the state.
There were 146 school districts in Tennessee last year.
Only three spent more money per student than Shelby County. All three had higher graduation rates than Shelby.
In fact, while Shelby County has seen increases in graduation rates for the past four years it's graduation rate is still 10 points behind the state average.
"I think in comparison to those statistics we're also the poorest district in the state. So the issues our kids face are different than any other community that is the state of Tennessee," Avant said.
Beyond the educational outcome, there's another issue facing the district. That's re-segregation.
Legally mandated segregation was abolished, but many schools in Tennessee remain heavily segregated by race.
"There remains a significant number of schools where there are exclusively people of color," Kiel said. "Those are the schools that are most vulnerable to the lack of public support, lack of public funding and lack of equitable opportunity to their students."
That has led some families to lose faith in Shelby County Schools.
They say they left the inner city in pursuit of better performing districts and why they believe was a safer school environment.
We confirmed that with numerous families, black and white.
Be we also found parents who are all in on Shelby County Schools.
Matt and Tiffany Nason have six children and have chosen to live in Midtown and send their kids to school in the area.
"Snowden is one of the best schools in the city of Memphis. A lot of people are saying that," the parents said.
They also believe diversity in the classroom is a vital part of the educational experience. "We want them to learn that just because someone is different in the way they look, talk or speak doesn't mean we can't love them the same."
"I believe in what we're doing in this district. I believe in the opportunities we can continue to create for our kids. I believe in the success of this city," Avant, chair of Shelby County School Board said.

Traffic exiting Highway 19 southbound on the way to Port Alberni and Tofino should have an easier transition starting in October.
The Ministry of Transportation announced Thursday that construction is about to begin on a new acceleration lane that will improve safety for motorists when they are exiting Highway 19 southbound, so they can merge onto Highway 4 westbound near the Qualicum Beach exit.
Currently, the southbound off-ramp ends at a traffic signal light for motorist turning left to Qualicum Beach, and a right-turn lane with a yield for those turning west on Highway 4. The new acceleration lane will allow westbound traffic on Highway 4 to make the turn and merge into the flow of traffic coming from Qualicum Beach.
Hazelwood Construction Services Inc. was the successful bidder and has been awarded a $403,260 contract for the project, MOT stated in a written release.
Work is expected to begin after Labour Day and will be completed by October 2017.
During construction, the ministry says it will ensure traffic delays are kept to a minimum, particularly during peak periods. Motorists are advised to pay special attention to signs because of changing traffic patterns, obey traffic control personnel, and watch for workers throughout the project.

CREATIVITY & PURPOSE My introduction to creative visualization was probably around the age of 12 as a competitive water skier. In present day, I experience the finished project before I start drawing it. My goal is to reverse engineer the final vision balancing resale value with costs to build. Once I have a clear image in my head of the project's greatest genetic potential, my purpose becomes making it happen.
INTUITING EQUITY I think like an investor because I have been around investors all my life. I grew up in my father and mother's very successful Real Estate and mortgage offices, which they built from scratch. I bought, designed, and remodeled my first investment property in 1990 at the age of 18. In other words, I'm a multi-generation Real Estate professional with 29 years of personal experience.
INSIGHTFUL PLANNING It's not just whether something can get done, I share my opinion whether it should be done. I take projects I believe in. There are a million and one ways a homeowner could lose money from a construction project that started out looking simple. Experience comes with mistakes which teach a great amount of insight.
EXPERIENCE IN THE HOT SEAT One critical point every homeowners needs to understand is the tremendous value in working with somebody who has been in their shoes trusting their most valuable asset to a professional. Too often, homeowners don't see the difference between a skilled drafter with the lowest price and until it's too late.
Bellaire Estates Developer: Aryeh Rifkin

On a luxury cruise ship, passengers will normally expect the finest fare when it comes to cuisine, from the best wines and champagne to oysters, caviar, lobster and kobe beef.
Indeed, a typical luxury cruise will require as much as 60 tonnes of the finest food stuffs to cater to its discerning clientele. On an average 10-night sailing, passengers and crew will apparently eat as many as 35,000 meals.
However, the 700 passengers on board Azamara Journey were instead treated to sausage rolls, vegan sausage rolls and the north-east delicacy Stottie Cake from famed British bakery chain Greggs when they stopped over at Newcastle upon Tyne this week.
Azamara Journey's cruise director, Lee Hetherington, has long been a fan of Greggs and would love to see some of the bakery's famous items on the ship's menu. Norwegian Captain Johannes Tysse subsequently took it upon himself to order a ship load for the 10-day culinary and cultural tour of Northern Europe.
The team at a local Greggs shop on Newcastle's Grainger Street were on hand in the early hours to prepare for the morning delivery, which was delivered directly on to the luxury cruise ship.
Captain Johannes Tysse of Azamara Journey said:
"On our cruise of Northern Europe passengers will enjoy amazing dining experiences including visits to Bruges and Amsterdam.
"Our UK crew told us that a visit to Newcastle wouldn't be complete without a taste of Greggs as a culinary 'must-try', and that for European travellers it joins the echelons of British food icons alongside Fish & Chips, Afternoon Tea and the Sunday Roast. We were all very impressed and even got a cheer."
Matt Beeton, CEO of the Port of Tyne, also commented: "We're delighted to welcome Azamara Cruises as we celebrate 20 years of cruising from the Port of Tyne. When we heard about a special order from Greggs we were only too happy to help, after all only the best is good enough for the Captains table."

Trek to Pamir, Shimshal and Climbing Mingling Sar peak 6050m
Minglig Sar (6050m) is located in the Shimshal Valley in Hunza neighboring the Chinese southernmost mountain range Kun Lun. Shimshal Lake lies at the base of the mountain near the ShimshalPass (4735m).
This exciting trip takes you through the Shimshal gorge in the immediacy of Wakhan Corridor and high pasturelands of the mysterious Pamirs on the dividing line between South Asia and central Asia. You will see large herds of yaks, sheep, goats and sometimes ibex grazing on these high grasslands.
The trek to Minglig Sar starts from Shimshal Valley (3000m) to Wuch Furzeen (3365m) which is 7-9 hours walk. From Wuch Furzeen to Shuijherav (4350m) is 6-8 hours walk. It takes 3 hours to reach Shimshal Pass from Shuijherav. Shimshal Pass is the most pleasant camp sites near the crystal icy lake. It is possible to climb Minglig Sar from here in one day but requires good physical fitness, acclimatization and obviously good luck with weather.
In our journey we will come across steep passes, glaciers, lakes and beautiful valleys. The famous historical Shimshal Pass was the route of Hunza raiders on trade caravans traveling over the Karakoram Pass between China and India in ancient times. One of the great attractions and the highlight of this climb is that from the summit with some luck one can have a glimpse North Face of K2 far on the south eastern horizon.

10 Tips for Better Equipment Rental Agreements
Franchise equipment dealers (FEDs) assume significant risk when leasing equipment to their various construction, agriculture, and forestry customers. Any theft or damage to the expensive pieces of machinery they rent out, like excavators and loaders, can really put a dent in their bottom line.
That's why Alex Best, Value Creation Executive at ProSight Specialty Insurance, and Glenn Jacobs, Executive Vice President of Fairview Insurance Agency, got together to discuss what dealers can do to minimize risks at the contract stage. Through their deep industry expertise and partnership, Alex and Glenn know what proactive measures franchise equipment dealers can take to help safeguard their equipment—and their livelihood.
Here are their Top 10 Tips for minimizing risk:
- Do not lease equipment without a signed rental agreement. When you and your customer sign the agreement, it will outline the rights and responsibilities of each party with regard to the rented equipment.
- Always obtain legal review of the rental agreement. This will ensure that all terms and conditions meet appropriate state laws and that the proper clauses are in place, including any hold harmless or indemnity clause.
- Obtain a certificate of insurance (COI) from your customer that names your dealership as an additional insured and loss payee. Doing so helps protect you from liability, as well as damage or theft that may occur to your equipment during the rental period.
- Verify your customer's insurance to confirm that the insurance provided on the COI meets the monetary coverages and requirements of your rental agreement.
- Confirm the limits of your property/inland marine insurance. Make sure your coverage adequately reflects the total value of your rented equipment—and that it applies to equipment when it's both in transit and on site.
- Always double check phone orders prior to delivery. Any number of things can happen between the time a client orders a piece of equipment and the job begins, so it always makes sense to confirm the order before prepping equipment and taking it on the road.
- Deliver your equipment to an authorized representative who has been designated to accept delivery for your customer at the project location. Never drop off or leave your equipment unattended on a job site.
- Obtain a signature and two forms of identification from the person accepting delivery. It's a good practice to ask for one photo ID, like a driver's license, that you can visually check.
- Reiterate the terms of equipment usage. Remind your customers—verbally and in your written agreement—that they're responsible for the equipment they rent and that they can't re-rent or allow another party to use it, if that prohibition is included in the rental agreement.
- Attach the operator's manual to every piece of equipment. Explain basic operating procedures to your customer, but make it clear that OSHA requirements say they are responsible for providing adequate equipment training as the "Employer." You may want to include this wording in your rental agreement, too.
From forklifts to backhoes, your equipment is your business. So give your dealership the tools it needs to prosper—starting with solid rental agreements that have the proper protections in place. Contact Alex Best, Value Creation Executive at ProSight, to get started.

I quit shopping, perhaps I have mentioned this once, maybe twice since Christmas. Some would say I talk a lot about it, having effectively martyred myself at the alter of sustainability. How many times can you possibly use the word "sustainability" in a year I hear my friends moan… If the year in question is 2019 the answer will almost certainly have 6 figures in it. One Stacey Dooley documentary prompts the premature retirement of my debit card and suddenly obsessed with the evils of commercial fashion. Though I live with a slight fear of sounding like a broken record, and a boring one at that, I can't help myself. This is a conversation we should all be having, because there is something inherently wrong within this industry I have loved for so long and so deeply. The world we live in is crumbling, and our unhealthy shopping habits are at least partially responsible.
Stalf is a brand for whom sustainability is the bedrock of its identity. There was a time, many years ago when patterns where cut and garments stitched in house, when customers treasured each item because even those with larger budgets possessed modest wardrobes by todays standards. Garments and fabrics required both skill and labour to produce, and as such were designed to last. Tailors and dressmakers were to be found on every high street and as a rule these were family run businesses. My gran worked for her father in such a shop in her native Northern Ireland. She worked alongside her best friend, an accomplished seamstress. She was a talented singer who was allowed to sing only in church. My great grandfather, mistrustful of the music industry deemed dressmaking a far more respectable career for a woman. By all accounts she found the whole thing unspeakably dull and eventually left to marry my Grandpa. In contrast, for me this is perhaps the dream.
Stalf takes its name from its founders own grandparents, Stella and Alf. Paris, the founder writes a charming introduction to them on the about page of her site. "They were part of a generation who didn't just wear clothes once" and that is an ethos she shares. Make no mistake, though relatively new, with a young team and a modern aesthetic. This is a heritage brand with its roots firmly in the Lincolnshire soil on which Paris was raised. From her pink hued studio in the Lincolnshire wolds Paris and her team produce capsule collections with only passing reference to season or trend. From design to production and marketing, it is all done in house and if you follow them on Instagram it is clear they have more than a little fun whilst conducting the serious business of fashion.
Design led basics, referred to as "easywear" in natural fabrics and an ice cream palette as well as practical black and navy, with the odd Breton stripe thrown in for good measure offers a strong and practical aesthetic. From florists to photographers and food stylists, I know so many people who wear the cocoon jumpsuit like a uniform. Stalf the brand was created as the antithesis to commercial fashion, the industry that gave Paris her start. In spite of this credence and its rural location, a world away from London or Paris (the city not the girl) Stalf has amassed many notable and fashionable devotees. Each piece is designed to slot into your existing wardrobe, mixed and matched with other Stalf pieces or worn alone. The fabrics are largely soft cottons and Irish linen with seasonal additions of velvet and deliciously textured wool. The garments, comfortable, flattering and accessible to a variety of shapes and sizes are unmistakable in their provenance. If you follow Stalf on Instagram you will notice they photograph pieces on a wide variety of women, and the odd man, this is an inclusive brand that doesn't feel the need to shout about it.
Stalf the brand seems to go from strength to strength built on traditional principles with a sustainable ethos at its heart, and It is the heart of this business that makes it so utterly beguiling. From their website to their studio it is welcoming, inclusive and aesthetically pleasing. As a customer this is something you really feel you can buy into.
The tide is changing in the wake of that Stacey Dooley's documentary about "fashion's dirty secrets". Recent revelation's about Philip Green only cement this idea of a dark underbelly in commercial fashion. We as consumers are being forced to consider the impact our excessive consumption has on both the environment and our psyche.
When I talk about the bad practice and problematic business model that feeds our high street I am inevitably confronted with my perceived privilege. People immediately assume to buy ethically you must be rich. I am definitely not rich, although I have been known to spend my rent money on a pair of shoes before now. conscious consumerism isn't dictated by salary. I was called out online recently for being elitist in my approach "I love fashion but I can't afford this" came the cry. At £120 a Stalf jumpsuit is perhaps 10 x the price of the Primark version. With stagnant wages and astronomical rent's as standard in the UK this is not insignificant. However, worn 3 times a month for a year, the jumpsuit costs less than £3.50 per wear, and believe me when I say, you will have this piece in your wardrobe for far longer than a year. Unlike the high street version, these pieces are designed to wash and wear and in turn be worn for years to come. Recently people have told me they treasure their Primark purchases, often for years, and though that may be true. Ultimately a business with such low price points and questionable working practices survives on the idea that fashion is a highly consumable, disposable commodity.
A business like Stalf relies on the loyalty of its customers, who ultimately buy less, but talk a lot about their exemplary customer service, quality product, transparent working practices and short supply chain. The Stalf customer perhaps has a smaller wardrobe (present company accepted), because they realise that 300 £3 t shirts will likely never be worn, and certainly never be loved to the same degree as one more considered purchase. If, like me you already possess an extensive wardrobe, a Stalf piece will slide seamlessly into it. A Primark T-shirt looks great under a cocoon jumpsuit. At the end of the day, wouldn't it be great if we were all a bit more Stalf?

Happy July 4th weekend!
That hang out, relax, and let loose mentality is great for stress reduction but a three day weekend can really wreak havoc on all your fitness and nutrition progress.
Just keep in mind that you can indulge in moderation.
The chips, the beer, and the burgers will still be around after this weekend.
Enjoy a little and you can still feel good about your efforts come Tuesday!

Click above to listen to Never Looking Back from the album.
A global, extinction level event is certain and close in time. Developed under this focus, this solo piano and concept album explores the thought of living your life haunted by the ticking of a clock in the aftermath of a horrible truth revealed.
In The Distance is my debut full-length solo piano album following the EP released, Disenchanted.
In making the album, the fundamental goal was always to create beautiful solo piano music, and that goal was achieved, but it's important to recognize In The Distance did take a step beyond that. With inspiration from some of my favorite music, shows, films and the many stories told throughout, the album was produced with a loose setting in mind and complementary themes.
I've always had an interest in sci-fi horror movies, and the music I've enjoyed most has typically had a distinct story or theme connecting it. In writing the music for this I wanted to create a concept record so that everyone could bring their own perspective. That was my commitment and focus throughout each song's conception. However, these are piano solos and there's no lyrics here to narrate a story for you. I wanted to recognize the intent and general inspirations behind it, but I'm interested in the different takeaways listeners will have.
Album review by Dyan Garris for New Age CD.com
"In The Distance" is the full-length debut album for solo pianist Michael Bohne, following his 2014 EP "Disenchanted." The album features eleven piano solos composed and performed by Michael, who currently lives in Albany, New York.
His last name is pronounced, "Bone." Remember it, because we are sure to be hearing much more from this extraordinarily talented artist. This is someone too, who would be well worth seeing in concert. I'm sure it would be amazing.
This album, which releases July 6, 2018, is really quite remarkable and noteworthy. It's not necessarily the passion that shines through in every note of every composition that makes it so. It's not necessarily the absolutely flawless performance throughout. It's not the perfect cadence either. And it's not the fact that Michael expertly utilizes the entire instrument, both upper and lower registers. (It's as if he is one with the piano, the whole thing and the whole way through). By the way, Michael is considered legally blind.
But all of that said, what perhaps makes this album so impressively memorable is that it is so vibrant overall. It's hard to forget this kind of evocative emotion. And even though there are some deeply contemplative and poignant moments here, equally as vibrant in their own way, you won't want to.
The album opens with "When the Time Comes," which incorporates falling rain and a ticking clock into the mix. Different and interesting. Some other standouts and highlights on "In The Distance" include the song, "Fading Memories." If it doesn't have lyrics, it should. You can almost hear them there somewhere in the ethers. It's a wonderful, catchy, "I'm moving forward" kind of tune. Dynamic and most definitely mind-sticking. I probably listened to it at least ten times. You may find yourself doing the same and never tiring of it.
"Never Looking Back," "Phantoms Along the Shore," and "Taking the Scenic Route," are my other picks for favorites on this fresh and exciting album. "In The Distance" is highly recommended for solo piano lovers looking for something truly brilliant.
Get it here: Artist website: https://www.michaelbohne.com/
"In the Distance" is the debut full-length solo piano album from solo piano artist Michael Bohne (pronounced "bone") following his 2014 EP "Disenchanted." As a loose concept for the album, these pieces describe the world in the aftermath of a catastrophic global event, the survivors living lives "haunted by the ticking of a clock in the aftermath of a horrible truth revealed." Bohne's hope is that each listener will bring his own individual perspective to this concept and take something unique away.
Overall, this music is introspective, brooding, and evocative. The first track, "When the Time Comes," sets the scene for the album in an unusual way, opening with the ticking of a clock during a thunderstorm and transitions. The rain ends and the music segues immediately into "Regarding Stonehenge" - dark and eerie, utilizing the full range of the piano, and perfectly capturing the mystery surrounding the formation and meaning of the ancient monument. "Solar Flare," with its fiery melody and rapid ostinato accompaniment, and is a musical description of the astronomical phenomenon that is associated with sunspots and known to cause electromagnetic disturbances on the earth. The winsome and nostalgic "Never Looking Back," which Bohne explains "explores the theme of making difficult, defining choices," is a personal favorite and a magnificent contrast to the sinister "Descent" which follows. This piece explores the lower registers of the piano and the heavy utilization of open intervals creates a strange and eerie effect. "Phantoms Along the Shore" is another somber melody, bringing to mind our instinctive fear of the darkness and the unseen creatures that might lurk there. With an irregular meter and rubato feel, "The Wolves' Den" provides another shift in mood. The pulsing "Disconnected" is perhaps a nod to the loss of human connection experienced these modern days of cell phones and the Internet. "Taking the Scenic Route," previously released as a single, is meant to "capture emotions tied to living in the moment and making the best of a situation." For me, it was a musical meandering capturing the joy of discovery experienced when one chooses to take the longer and slower path as opposed to the more direct way and another favorite but "Fading Memories," putting me in mind of an afternoon spent sifting through a box filled with keepsakes, souvenirs and old photograph, is my hands-down favorite piece of all. The album ends with "When the Stars Disappeared" - a long, sad farewell and a fitting conclusion to this unique listening experience.
Bohne recorded "In the Distance" at Blue Sky Studios in Delmar, New York on a Chickering & Sons Anniversary Grand Piano. While Bohne admits to the piano's age and imperfections, he claims that the character of the instrument "has given my recordings a slightly divergent sound that I think is fantastic." Unfortunately, I felt that the sound and intonation of the piano was a distraction from the beauty of Bohne's compositions. Otherwise, I recommend "In the Distance" as a poignant and distinctive solo piano album.

If you've been to The Pullman, Mark Fischer's acclaimed restaurant in Glenwood Springs, you might notice the similarities between that spot and Harman's eat + drink, which Fischer opened in Cherry Creek North this summer, in the former home of Phat Thai. "Honestly," says executive chef John Little, the concepts are "very similar."
So why didn't Fischer just open another Pullman?
See also: A fast change from Phat Thai results in some memorable dishes at Harman's
One reason that Harman's didn't launch as a second Pullman was to give the remodeled restaurant some breathing room to adapt to the neighborhood. "We weren't sure if we'd have to tweak it," explains Little, who worked both at the original Pullman at Six89, Fischer's restaurant in Carbondale.
In fact, since Harman's opened four months ago, Little has already made some slight changes to the menu. And he still plans to add more gluten-free, vegan and vegetarian options, in response to customer's request.

Earth Day is just around the corner, and while we use this special day to remember to take care of the earth, I just want to remind everyone that we should be celebrating Earth Day, every day, through our work and actions.
One way all Blue Lakers can help make our world a better place is through the City's Parks and Recreation "Adopt-a-Spot" program. There are several little areas throughout the city that need a little TLC. The 8th grade class from Blue Lake School has already decided to adopt the planter boxes behind the Museum, and will soon be sprucing the up with flowers and greenery.
And while we are on the subject of the Blue Lake Museum, don't forget to stop by every Thursday, Friday, and Sunday from 1 to 4 p.m. to see the history of the area. You can also support the Blue Lake Museum by attending the bi-annual Salad Luncheon on Thurs., April 26 from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Mad River Grange. Pat Spini's famous beans, made by Barb Hash, will of course be served, along with favorites like Jell-O-pretzel salad, frog-eye salad and deviled eggs.
And with that, I should note there will be no Blue Lake Notes next week, as it is spring break. Have a wonderful time, especially when you come out to visit Blue Lake!

2 reporters have recently left local television for new opportunities.
2 reporters have recently left local television for new opportunities.
In an announcement made this morning on his Facebook page, Brian Meyer will be leaving his position of Senior Director of News and Public Affairs at WBFO-FM on March 30, 2018.
January 2018 will be an active period of change for WGRZ-TV and WKBW-TV as anchors and meteorologists are prepared to exchange shifts.
In a move announced this morning by President & General Manager Jim Toellner, Adam Benigni will replace John Beard as co-anchor of Daybreak beginning in January 2018. Beard is scheduled to retire at the end of the year.
Benigni, who has been with the station since 1997, served as the station's Sports Director after Ed Kilgore's retirement in 2013. Earlier this year, Benigni temporarily filled in at the anchor desk after Scott Levin left the station. He moved away from that temporary role in September 2017.
According to the Buffalo News, WKBW-TV will be launching a new news program after Labor Day titled, "The Now." The program will be anchored by Hannah Buehler along with weather forecasts from Chief Meteorologist Aaron Mentkowski. In Alan Pergament's article, a reporter will be added to this program too but no one has been specifically named to that role at this time. The 30-minute program will air at 7 p.m. Monday through Friday.
"The Now" is a program that blends local, national, and international news with entertainment and lifestyle stories. The program will be independently produced in Buffalo and is currently hiring for a producer to fill that job. Many other stations owned by Scripps are already airing this program including stations in Phoenix, West Palm Beach, Denver, Cleveland, and Kansas City.
WGRZ-TV has added a new reporter from out west. Joshua Robinson comes from ABC/FOX duopoly KTMF-TV/KWYB-TV in Missoula, Montana, where he was a reporter covering the entire state and fill-in anchor. He is a reporter for "Daybreak" and is a graduate of Fresno State University. Fun fact too, Robinson is also a former pastry chef and worked in Las Vegas at all of Mario Batali's restaurants on the strip.
In a producer switcheroo, WGRZ-TV hired Adrian Torres, who started in mid0June as a multimedia producer. He previously worked at KXII-TV in Sherman, Texas and also worked in radio. He is a graduate of the University of North Texas and majored in Broadcast Journalism.
Producer Dan Baran is leaving the station to take a producing job in North Carolina at TEGNA sister station, WCNC-TV. Baran has spent just over 3 years at WGRZ-TV and previously worked for 4 years at Time Warner Cable News as a news assistant/producer.
Spectrum News has filled vacancies on the producing side of the newsroom. Christine Streich has joined the station as a Senior Producer after spending 3 years at WKBW-TV as a producer. Streich has worked in public radio in New York City and graduated from the CUNY Graduate School of Journalism. Brian Barker has been promoted to the role of Senior Producer and Dan Eye joins the staff as an Associate Producer.

Anti-Israel forces in the world scored some PR points Wednesday as Israel's short-lived decision to create separate transportation solutions for Arab laborers and Jewish residents of Judea and Samaria was depicted as "apartheid" style racism.
The measures were promptly vetoed by Prime Minister Netanyahu, placating critics from both the Left and Right who criticized the move as well.
But the fact is that the buses currently serving Arabs and Jews going to and from Samaria serve two distinct populations with very different transport needs.
The embedded videos below are from the afternoon Afikim bus line that travels from central Israel to Ariel, an Israeli city of around 20,000 residents. Most of the Jewish Israelis using the line are from Ariel; but when they want to return home from work, the bus is flooded by Palestinian Arab laborers at its first station, and very little room is left for Jewish locals to embark.
As the videos show, the Arab workers disembark en masse at two stations along Route 5 that precede Ariel – Gitai Avisar Junction and Ariel Junction – leaving only a handful of Jews who go on to its final stations inside Ariel. All the rest of the Ariel residents who could have used the bus were forced to find alternative transport, including hitchhiking.
The Palestinians, meanwhile, use taxicabs to get from the points of disembarkation to their homes, in villages throughout Samaria.
Another problem often brought up by commuters is the fact that the Arab laborers using the bus are sometimes hostile and includes workers who entered Israel illegally. Although they must pass through security checks on their way out of Samaria to major Israeli cities where they work, they are not subjected to any security checks on the way back to Samaria. And naturally, the illegal workers are not checked at all.
The friction between this populace and Jewish residents of Samaria has also extended to sexual harassment, with many women commuters complaining of routine groping.
In addition, soldiers often travel with their guns on them but are greatly outnumbered, and have to be on constant guard lest Arab extremists attempt to overpower them and take their guns.

Felicia T. Brenoe of Felicia's World did a guest post at CT Pub Blog this week to kick off the My Cozy Village Blog Tour. This to celebrate her book of the same name. Take a look.
As part of the tour, Felicia shares the first part of a the Egg Cozy project. It includes a free downloadable oval egg. Of the project she explains,
This tiny project is a GREAT way to use up small-but-precious pieces of fabric. I am using some of my beloved Liberty florals for the flowers.
I'm in. Head on over to the kickoff post to get started on your own egg cozy, plus see the My Cozy Village Blog Tour schedule.

Recently, the New Orleans Saints were dinged with a heavy penalty for "bounty hunting." Bounty hunting in football is when players, in this case the defensive line, are offered cash incentives to knock out a particular player on the opposing team. The Saints' defensive coach offered two different rewards, one if the player has to be taken off the field and another, larger incentive, if the player is knocked out. When a key player is injured, the tides can quickly turn in favor of the other team. Additionally, injury can jolt the flow of the game. Some teams will agree that one of their own players is going to take a hard hit so that an injury will occur, stopping the game, and stopping the opposing team's momentum.
In researching the death of twelve-time pro-bowl player and twenty-year NFL veteran, Junior Seau, I found quite a few references to Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE). Thus far, Seau's death has been deemed a suicide due to a gunshot wound to the chest. The family is still deciding whether to allow an autopsy of his brain which would is the only way to determine if he suffered from depression caused by CTE. As of now, and despite what some media reports may say, the reasons for Seau's suicide are unknown.
Unfortunately, though, CTE is a possibility. CTE is a degenerative brain condition whose cause is unknown. Scientists suspect that it is due to receiving multiple concussions. Concussions, themselves, are difficult to determine. There are many definitions of a concussion, and there are many types of concussions. With such an unclear definition, they can be difficult to diagnose. The one common factor with people who have had a concussion is difficulties paying attention or mentally tracking. CTE can only be diagnosed after death, but there are some similarities in symptoms among those who have been found to have CTE: depression, erratic behavior, forgetfulness, memory loss and other signs of dementia. After death, the brain with CTE generally has an abnormally high number of tau proteins. Actually, some reports I've read said that the number of tau proteins are extremely high and that upon opening the skull, the brain looks like "mush." One case was that of a 45 year-old former football player, whose brain, neurologists said, looked like that of a 90-year-old with advanced Alzheimer's.*
Scientists have found example after example of former football players with CTE, and have found cases in former boxers and hockey players. Not all players seem to exhibit signs and not all brains that have been analyzed have tested positive for CTE. However, there are a large number of former athletes who have been found to have CTE. The story of the youngest, a 21-year-old football player from the University of Pittsburg, Owen Thomas, can be found here.
A lengthy investigatory report on the founder of CTE can be found here (note: some of the quotes contain mild language).
As more of this research has come to light, the NFL commission has made some efforts to change rules to protect players. For example, players cannot jump off of the ground, head first, and tackle another player in the head. Also there are now stricter rules for when a player is allowed to return to play after suffering a concussion. However, these rules have sparked debate about whether this dilutes the game, and whether it may eventually completely change the game.
I bring this up because I think it poses interesting questions about the ethics of sport. To get a couple of caveats out of the way, first, I love watching sports. I am from Dallas, so sports are part of our culture, and I enjoy participating in that culture. When I say "audience" I am including myself. Secondly, this is not a question about whether sports are okay. Generally, sports are great for teaching teamwork, healthy competitiveness, and overall fitness. I can think of many examples where sports have helped people with confidence, helped people with disabilities, and have been a healthy outlet for those who have gone through trauma or loss. The question is about the professional sports industry and the relationship between the athlete, the audience, and the business. Athletes are treated as commodities, items that are worth millions of dollars (for a few years, anyway) and are shuffled around and negotiated for as if they were a prized cow. It is a billion-dollar industry where audiences enjoy paying the ticket prices to see athletes who are bigger, better, faster, and stronger do things on a huge scale. The suits love it because they make a substantial amount of money, and the athletes get to bask in the glory and the limelight while bringing home a sizable paycheck playing the sport that (hopefully) they love to play. It is a complex industry that demands everything from players who are more than willing to voluntarily give it while we clap, cheer and maybe vicariously enjoy the thrill of winning.
In the sports industry, theoretically, everyone is engaging in it voluntarily, and if you don't like it, you don't have to participate. Yes, it treats people like commodities, yes, athletes are brutal to their bodies, and yes, it's all voluntary. But just because it is voluntary, that doesn't mean that there should not be standards, precautions, and considerations in place. There should still be an ethics of sport. The New Orleans Saints were punished for bounty hunting. Of course, the players did not have to participate in the sense that the D-line didn't have to try to knock a player out. They could just get him down, call it a tackle, and the play is done. The problem was incentivizing. Similarly, the industry (and that includes us audience members) incentivize extremes. We want to see bigger, stronger, and faster, but we get mad when an athlete tests positive for steroids. We want to see the fierce competitiveness and sheer physical prowess in football, boxing, or hockey, but we call for tighter regulations when we see the heavy toll it takes on the retired athlete's body. Unfortunately, safety doesn't sell. Breaking records sell. Winning sells, and for many sports, it is the possibility of injury, danger, or risk is a selling point.
*The accumulation of tau protein tangles in the brain is associated with Alzheimer's disease (See www.alz.org), but is also associated with other neurological issues.
Note (05/25/12) ABC posted an article on brain injuries in football players.

You know how I love to share stories like this.
The thing with this one is the person with multiple sclerosis is only in the
sixth grade. Yes, the sixth grade.
The students at Manhattan's Amanda Arnold Elementary School had a special end-of-the-year assembly today.
The school has been collecting "Bucks for Breckin" to help a sixth grader with Multiple Sclerosis buy a new wheelchair.
And to sweeten the deal, the more money the grade schoolers collected-the more teachers they got to throw pies at.
The school raised $2,860, and donations are still coming in.
McDonald's is matching the donations, and so far the total collected is $6,120, a good way to end the school year.
When I was first diagnosed I remember saying " there is always someone worse
off than me" . Folks, this is a sixth grader with multiple sclerosis.
Damn we need to find a cure !

Coldplay's latest video was helmed by someone with a special connection to its frontman! On Friday, the band dropped the video for "Cry Cry Cry," which was directed by Cory Bailey and Dakota Johnson, who is dating Chris Martin, Coldplay's lead singer.
Shot in London's Rivoli Ballroom, the video takes fans inside the smooth track that features lyrics including, "When you cry, cry, cry, baby / I'll be by your side"
The video is all about long-lasting love, and starts off with a young couple doing an impressive dance as the band croons from the stage. Eventually as that couple ages, all the way to their elderly years, their dancing slows, but their love clearly never fades.
Johnson and Martin first sparked rumors of their romance in early 2018. Both have kept their relationship private, with the Fifty Shades Darker star telling Tatler in September 2018 that she was "not going to talk about it," before adding, "but I am very happy." They made a rare public appearance last September at a charity event.
Martin was previously married to Gwyneth Paltrow, with whom he's maintained a friendship. In fact, Paltrow has even made headlines for being close to Johnson.
"I love her," Paltrow told Harper's Bazaar of Johnson last month. "I can see how it would seem weird because it's sort of unconventional. But I think, in this case, just having passed through it iteratively, I just adore her."
Watch the video below for more on Martin and Johnson.
