Paris City Manager Kim Foster discusses the dehumidifier issues at the Civic Center Pool. (Tim Alsobrooks photos)
Paris, Tenn.- The Paris Special School District board of education met in regular session for May on Tuesday evening and discussed the idea of assisting the City of Paris with costs of the dehumidifier at the Civic Center pool. Paris City Manager Kim Foster was on hand at the PSSD board meeting and discussed the upgrades and maintenance the City has done on the pool, including resurfacing the floor and other things.
Foster said this piece of equipment was designed to never have to be replaced but here we are and the cost projected for the dehumidifier was over $500K.
She described the Trane Energy Efficiency Project work and how some savings there will help the City pay for portions of the dehumidifier, and the bid process suggests it is still in the half million dollar range.
Foster said stats show 2/3 of the usage of the pool comes from the PSSD students and the other third comes from the community at large. Foster said we felt like it was fair to ask the PSSD for help.
Superintendent Mike Brown said Mrs. Foster approached me about a year ago and asked about the PSSD helping with the cost of the project. Brown said contractually the PSSD is not obligated to help with the cost, but our students use that pool every day.
Board chairman Richard Edwards said the board needs to think about what direction they want go to help the City with the cost. Foster said, the system can agree to payments over a ten year period, make a lump sum, or whatever is easier for their budget.
Edwards suggested that Brown and Dr. Gerrell come back with a recommendation of which way to go at the June PSSD meeting and then get back with the City.

Paris, Tenn.- Dr. Norma Gerrell discussed the Read to Be Ready Grant which the PSSD has received. The Department of Education and Department of Human Services came up with $30M in grants to distribute and every school district was encouraged to apply and the PSSD received almost $30K in grant money. Dr. Gerrell said we hope it is funded for the next 4 years.
Rhea Principal Sandra Paschall and Oliva Smith discussed plans for the grant is to host a Summer Reading Camp at Paris Elementary School from June 15th thru July 14th. 20 kids will be involved in the Summer Reading Camp which runs from 8am to Noon with breakfast and lunch provided.
Dr. Gerrell said this is for students grade K-2 to help them improve their reading skills and students get to experience art at Lee Academy, Wildlife Refuge, and other areas around town. The students get to keep the books as well. The transportation will be provided by the PSSD as well.
Paris, Tenn.- In other business Tuesday, the PSSD board made price modifications on the School Lunch programs. Brown said the PSSD is required to meet the $2.15 mark according to Federal guidelines.
Prices are currently $1.80 and the system has filled out waivers every year to keep the prices lower than the $2.15 benchmark. Brown said this year the funds won't be able to be used and in order to be compliant we have to raise prices some. The system is only required to raise an additional 10 cents at a time. Brown said this would bring in about $7-8K extra to the balance. The board agreed to raise the prices to $1.90 for school lunches for students. 2012 was the last time lunch prices were increased. There are no changes in adult prices or breakfast prices which are .85 cents.
Paris, Tenn.- Superintendent Mike Brown discussed the end of the year activities. The last day for students is May 23rd. Thursday May 25th will be report card days for Inman and PES, between 8am and 11am, or students can bring a self-addressed stamped envelope and have it mailed out. No buses will run May 25th.
Since demolition will begin at Rhea Elementary immediately, the system will mail out all report cards for Rhea students. Students at Rhea will not be allowed to come to school on Thursday because of the demolition.

Shelley Courington of AARP explaining the IMPROVE Act's impact on Henry County. (Cassie Walsh photos)
Paris, Tenn.- The IMPROVE Act project investment will include eleven projects in Henry County with $29,567,300 being allocated to Henry County. And Henry County will receive an additional $42,068,341 in the next 15 years.
The largest project will be the widening of US-641 from Smith Road to the Kentucky State Line. A total of $24,363,300 have been allocated to complete the project within 15 years. The road will be widened from a two lane highway to a four lane highway with turning lanes.
(Cassie Walsh photos)
Currently the widening of 641 between Rison Street and Smith Road is already funded and according to Henry County Mayor Brent Greer and Henry County Highway Department Road Superintendent Richie Chilcutt said that they will begin taking bids to start construction on the widening of 641 will begin this year in Fall 2017.
Chilcutt said," The area between Rison Street and Smith Road was going to widen the road to five lanes, but problems with two lakes between Logan Road past the 2nd lake will only be widened to three lanes."
TDOT funds for the widening of 641 between Rison Street and Smith Road have already been allocated, so this project was not included in the IMPROVE Act.

Paris, Tenn.- The Transportation Coalition of Tennessee held a press conference at the Henry County Courthouse on Monday afternoon.
Shelley Courington of Advocacy Director of AARP discussed the IMPROVE Act's projects specific to Henry County's transportation infrastructure. The IMPROVE Act cuts more than $500 million in taxes each year at its full implementation and in 2018 nearly $300 million in tax cuts will be realized.
According to Courington all of the projects that are included in the IMPROVE Act included 59 years of backlogged road projects and this act hopes to cut that down to a 13 to 15 year period since the state was able to find the funding for the projects through passing the IMPROVE Act. The IMPROVE Act will create a long term source of funding to fix outdated infrastructure projects, while providing tax cuts on grocery, business and Hall income taxes.
(Cassie Walsh photos)
These include a $113 million reduction in business taxes on manufacturers and a 20% decrease in sales tax on groceries will equal $125 million savings throughout Tennessee. Courington said," Tennesseans will notice an immediate reduction in grocery tax and the increase in the gas tax will be more of a steady increase."
Most of the funds from the IMPROVE Act projects for Henry County have been allocated for bridge work. Henry County Highway Department Road Superintendent Richie Chilcutt said, "Out of the 962 road and bridge projects for the IMPROVE Act about 550 of these project are allocated for bridge projects."
Henry County Mayor Brent Greer said that since the IMPROVE Act passed funding for road and bridge projects will grow and even though the general fund for the county may decrease, the county should still come out on top because they won't have to fund these road projects.
Since the IMPROVE Act projects are supposed to be completed in 15 years, concerns about projects in the IMPROVE Act that would be not be funded when a different governor comes in were also addressed. Courington said that even when another governor takes office in Tennessee these projects should still be funded because TDOT is the deciding factor in what projects get funded and when those projects are funded.
Other items that are included in the IMPROVE Act to help residents of Tennessee include property tax relief for eligible elderly, disabled homeowners and service- disabled veterans. The Hall income tax cuts, previously approved by state legislature will also now be implemented.
The press conference was part of a statewide 95 county media tour that started on Monday to discuss specific projects in every county of the state. Henry County was part of the first 20 counties that heard on Monday how the IMPROVE Act will help in tax relief and road and bridge repair through the county.

On Thursday morning, Sgt. Powell received a call from Sheriff Monte Belew who said that Paris Police Units were at scene in connection with the theft of a truck from a business in Henry.
When Sgt. Powell arrived at the scene he spoke with Lt. Josh Frey, Sgt. Greg Underwood and Ptl. Derrek Colley of the Paris Police Department, who stated that they observed the missing truck around the Depot Street area in Paris and the vehicle was stopping at several places where drugs were known to be sold.
Ptl. Colley stated that he saw the vehicle and was in pursuit of the vehicle as it speed away in an attempt to evade police. The truck then turned down Lydia Street, which is a dead end, in an attempt to evade other Paris Police Units.
Officers located and detained Bush and Thompson until Sgt. Powell from the HCSO arrived at the scene. Bush and Thompson were then arrested on theft charges and they were each placed on $10,000 bond.

Stroke can be averted with walking or any moderate exercise such as swimming, brisk walking, or running two to three hours a week, a study published in the journalNeurology has said. This also helps reduce the severity of strokes significantly. Researcher Katharina S Sunnerhagen said that while exercise benefits health in many ways, their research suggested that getting in a small amount of physical activity each week may have a big impact later by possibly reducing the severity of a stroke.
For the study, the team identified 925 people with an average age of 73 who had a stroke. Of the 481 people who were physically inactive, 354 or 73 per cent had a mild stroke. Of the 384 who engaged in light physical activity, 330 or 85 per cent had a mild stroke. Of the 59 people who engaged in moderate physical activity, 53 or 89 per cent had a mild stroke. People who engaged in light to moderate physical activity before their stroke were twice as likely to have a mild stroke rather than a moderate or severe stroke when compared to people who were physically inactive, the researchers said.
The study clearly shows that physical activity may have a protective effect on the brain. The simple exercise of walking helps the elderly in many other ways too:
1) A study by Boston University states that walking is linked to an increase in brain function and memory — the hallmark impairments in Alzheimer's disease – in older adults. The finding showed that the age-related changes in memory performance and brain activity largely depend on an individual's fitness level. Older adults who walked showed good cardiac fitness levels which improved their memory performance and increased brain activity patterns compared to their low fit peers.
2) The results of an analysis done by UCLA showed that increasing physical activity like walking was correlated with larger brain volumes in the frontal, temporal, and parietal lobes including the hippocampus. Individuals experiencing this brain benefit from increasing their physical activity experienced a 50 per cent reduction in their risk of Alzheimer's dementia.
3) Lack of walking is one of the major risk factors of osteoarthritis, a type of arthritis which is more common in elderly people because of long-term wear and tear of cartilages at the end of bones forming joints, especially weight-bearing joints like knees, according to Dr Vishal Kaura Agarwal, Rheumatologist and Consultant Physician, PSRI Hospitals.
4) Maintaining or boosting one's physical activity like walking after 65 can improve their heart's electrical well-being and lower their heart attack risk. Harvard School of Public Health in Boston researchers found that people who walked more and faster and had more physically active leisure time had fewer irregular heart rhythms and greater heart rate variability than those who were less active.
5) Aerobic exercises like walking can help reduce inflammation of the joints, aches and pains and also increase the bone mineral density of the spine in postmenopausal women.

Like many other centers whose last names don't end with "-okic", Rudy Gobert is a constant double-double threat, but a negligible triple-double threat. In a league where triple-doubles are such a common occurrence that nobody even cares that Elfrid Payton had two of them in a row, this is unfortunate. Let's put it this way: if Gobert got enough assists or blocks to be a consistent triple-double threat, he would be unanimous first-team all-NBA this year. He would also be in the MVP race. But since he will usually only get two assists and two blocks in an average game, he won't get even one MVP vote. Not even one. Except from that homer Matt Harpring if they decide to give him a vote (if he gets a vote then I should definitely get one).
Gobert almost had a 20/20 game, but was one rebound short. 20/20 games are still relatively rare in the NBA, with Andre Drummond being the only other player who can be counted on for a few of them each year, so my question is: which Jazz player was stealing Rudy's rebounds? You know he could average thirty a game if his teammates just let him have the rebounds. Unless Russell Westbrook who relies on his teammates to give up on rebounds just to average ten a game, Rudy averages ten a game easily even when his teammates steal rebounds from him.
Dear Joe Ingles: stop stealing Rudy's rebounds.

I started this blog almost a year ago to fill in something in my life that was missing- that creative outlet, the mentally challenging piece. Don't get me wrong, my job was great, something I had trained for, but it had become a little routine. Writing gave me that academic, expressive forum. The ideas came fast and furious; posts got written while I was working, scribbled on the back of someone's blood test results (sorry!) They came while I was running, I would race home to get them down on paper. I would wake up, and there would be 5 new ideas in my head, just waiting to be transferred to writing.
Then I got a temporary promotion. A new job that I love, but one that takes every ounce of attention that I have all day long. Sometimes all night long. Basically my job is the job equivalent of a newborn; unreasonable, unpredictable and always needing something else from me, but I love it anyway. Now at work I struggle for time to eat, and when I come home I struggle for the energy to hold up my end of a conversation with J, never mind finding time and energy to write for fun. I wake up remembering all the things I need to put into a report instead of fun ideas about a book-related recipe to try. I set aside time to write, but I end up just staring at a blank word document, watching that damn cursor blink…mocking me and everything I stand for.
Writers' Block.
So I waited. And waited and waited and waited. I read other blogs, books and magazines. I made lists of things that I could write about. I started posts, and discarded them. So then I did what any reasonable person would do when faced with a seemingly solution-less problem: I Googled it.
So, after extensive google-research it looks to me like you've got the basic, go-to tips:
- Take a break (like a 3 month break? Done.)
- Free Association writing (Tried it. Ended up with this weeks grocery list and a picture of the cat playing the bongos).
- Read the writing of others (Obviously done. Enjoyable but surprisingly unhelpful)
Then you have your not-so typical "wacky cures for writers' block":
- Ingest ungodly amounts of caffeine (What do people hopped up on caffeine do? They watch Netflix, they read everything on the huffington post. They do not write.)
- Make yourself dizzy (Not happening- I had to opt out of one of the dances at Zumba because there were too many turns and I didn't want to throw up on my sister…again).
- Try using more swears to feel more freely expressive. (This might actually work. If I swear at work enough maybe I'll get fired and then I'll have lots of time to write!)
Having failed at all of these cures, I figured at the end of the day, writers' block is just about where you are in your life. I don't write to put food on the table, I write for fun. Writers' block isn't some disease state that one falls victim to. The ideas, inspiration and motivation will come back to you when you're ready. So I figured I would just relax, take a few minutes every morning before my day got crazy and check in with the muses, see if anything occurs to me.
Then I noticed that Googling "Cures for writers' block" brings up 56,200 articles. So 56,200 other writers have written about writers block. What if the cure for writer's block…is to write about writers block?
It still might still be swearing like a goddamn sailor. Hard to say. Either way, I'm back in the fucking game!

In one of the most stunningly successful small scale operations in the history of the US Marines, from November 6, 1942, to December 4, 1942, the 2nd Marine Raider Battalion, about 700 Marines, under Colonel Evans Carlson, in 29 separate engagements, killed 488 Japanese soldiers while pursuing a force of approximately 2500 Japanese troops under the command of Colonel Toshinari Shōji on Guadalcanal, while suffering 16 killed. Carlson was a double mustang. He rose from the ranks while serving in the Army during World War I, ending up as a Captain of Field Artillery. In 1922 he enlisted in the Marine Corps as a private and was commissioned as a Second Lieutenant in 1923. While serving in China in the 1930's he studied, and was greatly impressed by, the tactics used by the Chinese Communists. Carlson's political beliefs were always left wing, although David Shoup, a future Commandant of the Corps and who earned a Medal of Honor, noted at the time of Carlson, "He's a red but he is not yellow."
In 1942 he was placed in command of the 2nd Marine Raider Battalion which he trained along the lines of the Communist guerillas in China. If this strikes the reader as unusual, it was. The high command of the Marine Corps was not happy, but President Roosevelt was a fan, as was his son, Captain James Roosevelt, who served in the Raiders. (Roosevelt would rise to the rank of Colonel during the War and earn a Navy Cross and a Silver Star for his courage. A liberal Democrat, he turned conservative in later life, crossing party lines to back both Nixon and Reagan.)
The 2nd Raiders made headlines with their raid on Makin Island in August of 1942 and for their service on Guadalcanal, and were known popularly as Carlson's Raiders. Worn out with malaria and other illnesses, Carlson was relieved of command in March of 1943. He served as technical advisor for the film Gung Ho, starring Randolph Scott, a World War I combat veteran, as Evans Carlson, which told the story, with the usual Hollywood indifference to history, of the Makin Raid. Returning to active duty, he served at Tarawa and Saipan, where he was wounded while attempting to rescue a radio man. That wound caused his retirement in 1946 with a terminal promotion to Brigadier General. He died of coronary disease in 1947, age 51.
Here is the text of his Navy Cross, one of three he earned during his career, citation for the Long Patrol:
The Navy Cross is presented to Evans Fordyce Carlson, Lieutenant Colonel, U.S. Marine Corps (Reserve), for extraordinary heroism and courage as leader of the Second Marine Raider Battalion in action against enemy forces in the British Solomon Islands during the period from 4 November to 4 December 1942. In the face of most difficult conditions of tropical weather and heavy growth, Lieutenant Colonel Carlson led his men in a determined and aggressive search for threatening hostile forces, overcoming all opposition and completing their mission with small losses to our men while taking heavy toll of the enemy. His personal valor and inspiring fortitude reflect great credit upon Lieutenant Colonel Carlson, his command and the United States Naval Service.

Herring Gull (Larus argentatus) 3w
In November and December 2014, a number of interesting migrants were detected on La Palma, although no real "rarities" appeared. A pale morph Booted Eagle (Hieraaetus pennatus) was spotted by a visiting observer (Allen Moore) in the Santa Cruz area on Nov 28, and was also reported a few days later by a local islander (pers. comm.). My own efforts during the same period yielded, amongst other species, up to five Black-headed Gulls (Chroicocephalus ridibundus), one male Eurasian Teal (Anas crecca), two Tufted Ducks (Aythya fuligula), and the juvenile Garganey (Anas querquedula) shown below...all at the irrigation ponds in Las Martelas (Los Llanos de Aridane). Very few wintering Coots (Fulica atra) have arrived on the island this year; the total was only 12 birds at the end of December.
Possibly the highlight of recent weeks was the 3w Herring Gull (Larus argentatus) discovered at Las Salinas in Fuencaliente on Dec 22. This species is classed as a vagrant to the Canary Islands, with previous records from La Palma, Tenerife and Gran Canaria.
Left: Yellow-legged Gull (Larus michahellis); Right: Herring Gull (Larus argentatus)
Garganey (Anas querquedula), showing white trailing edge to secondaries, and white wing bar

Finally, above is a photo kindly sent to me by a visiting observer (R.C.B.) who photographed this juvenile Eurasian Spoonbill (Platalea leucorodia) at the seawater pools near the island's airport on Oct 5. The coloured tag/ring combination indicates that this bird came all the way from the Netherlands, but the precise banding location remains to be confirmed.

Hypnotherapy is a very effective way of helping people to remove 'blocks' which have been holding them back.
At the start of a hypnotherapy session, we will discuss the problem you would like to address and decide upon the most appropriate mode of treatment. Your unconscious mind stores everything you experience; through hypnosis I will guide you into a gently relaxed state that will enable you to release and clear old, negative patterns.
What is Hypnosis like?
During hypnosis you will feel wonderfully safe, calm and able to hear every sound in the room. You will be in control at all times, and can come out of the altered state at any time in much the same way that one can snap out of a vivid daydream.
The hypnotic state is a natural form of consciousness that can feel very much as if you are day-dreaming and is something that we all experience on a daily basis without realising.
At the end of the session you will open your eyes feeling relaxed, re-energised and remember everything that has happened.Call 01252 726450 to discuss how Hypnotherapy could help you

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Israel's entrant in last week's Eurovision 2016 song contest, the openly homosexual Hovi Star (Chovav Skoltch), and our local TV host for the event, drag queen Talula Bonet (Tal Kallai), made many Israelis proud.
In whichever way one justifies the phenomenon of LGBTQ (lesbians, gays, bisexuals, transgenders and queers), there can be little doubt that the biblical law Israel is supposed to uphold explicitly forbids same-gender sexual activity (Leviticus 18: 22, 20:13). Lest I be misunderstood, the same law treats adultery just as severely, if not more so, being one of the Ten Commandments.
Yet Israelis seem to be proud of violating the first, and careless regarding the second. Though certainly much less severe, today many Israelis are also tattooing themselves from head-to-toe, thus showing disregard for another law forbidding this practice (Leviticus 19:28).
These are just a few of the more glaring examples of the disdain shown for Israel's religion, a phenomenon that is acutely relevant because of the direct bearing it has on the anti-Semitic tidal wave emanating primarily from the Western liberal camp.
With few exceptions, Israelis are attempting to justify Israel's existence on its being the only liberal democracy in the Middle East. Again and again, one can hear Israeli officials emphasizing the values of our Western democracy, while downplaying our identity as Jews. By so doing they rest the existence of the Jewish state on security and the secular values of a particular ideology.
This kind of argument overlooks Israel's inherent value. And it is one reason why so many liberals can say that Jews might as well exist in one form or another in a different place entirely.
In his helpful attempt to understand the hate so many left-wingers harbor for Israel, David Bernstein concludes that for liberals the Jewish state "is nothing but reactionary nationalism based on at best foolish sentimentality, and at worst racist notions of Jewish superiority."
Correct as this conclusion is, and as much as Bernstein wants to affirm Jewish ethnicity, he, too, will not dare invoke any spiritual significance for the Jewish state, thus again leaving Israel's existence problematically unexplained.
But there are those, like Minister of Education Naftali Bennett (Jewish Home), who understands well that "our path and sacred values have accompanied us for generations, and compromising them would likely lead Israel into the abyss." For those who think like Bennett, as much as democracy is valuable, and to an extent irreplaceable, it can't be guarded at the cost of Judaism.
Speaking at the Israel Prize ceremony that takes place annually on Independence Day, Bennett reminded us all of the spiritual value of Israel, without which it can't exist. "The goal of Judaism's history is to heal a wounded world," which is why the next generation of Zionism should invert the present form of Zionism, meaning that "instead of searching for universal solutions for the problems of the Jews, we'll find Jewish solutions for the problems of humanity."
This, for those who might have missed it, is a modern expression of Isaiah's vision, in which the prophet sees Israel as a place from which "the law will go forth."
As difficult as it may be for Israelis to understand, taking pride in tolerance for different expressions of gender and certain sexual behaviors does anything but legitimize Israel's existence.
The same can be said about justifying Israel's existence on security grounds. If anything, today it is the existence of Israel that poses the greatest threat to Jewish life.
In terms of Israel's prophetic call, it must stand upon both its Jewish and democratic legs, or it will fall. It would be fair to say that a growing number of Israelis are beginning to realize that giving up on a meaningful Jewish identity is no longer a viable option.

Wisconsin football: Badgers early enrollees adjusting to life on, off field – Landof10.com
MADISON, Wis. — Nearly every college freshman has a good lost-on-campus story, that "uh-oh" moment which cements that life at school is just a little bit different from life back home.
Cornerback Donte Burton said he walked into the wrong class a couple of times in his first few weeks at Wisconsin earlier this semester. Safety Reggie Pearson Jr. made it to the correct building thanks to a GPS device, which proved of little help when he needed to determine in which room his class took place. He had to look at one of those "you are here" maps generally reserved for a megamall to figure out the right floor.
And then there is nose guard Bryson Williams' story.
"I probably have one of the worst lost-on-campus stories out of all of them," he said after football practice Thursday.
Williams hopped on a city bus two weeks ago, ready to make his way to a tutoring session. But after a few minutes, he noticed the state capitol building disappearing behind him. The longer he sat on the bus, the farther away he got from his intended destination.
"I'm like, 'OK, it'll turn around sometime," Williams said. "I end up getting about 40 minutes out on that bus, and I have to Uber all the way back because it kept going farther and farther. I was already 15 minutes late. So I just hop off. I was in the middle of nowhere. I had absolutely no idea where I was."
Welcome to life as a freshman, which is all about adjustment both on the football field and off.
Williams, Burton and Pearson are among five early enrollees in the 2018 recruiting class who are on campus for Wisconsin's spring practices. The others are wide receivers Aron Cruickshank and Taj Mustapha. That quintet already has forged a strong bond thanks to their shared status as newbies on the roster.
They generally spend time in Pearson's apartment most nights because there is a nice TV and a sound system. The group takes turns rap-battling each other and dancing. Most of the freestyle raps are admittedly terrible, which is precisely why it's so much fun.
"We're together all the time," Williams said. "Sometimes a little bit too much, but it's fun. We all care about each other. We've gotten immensely closer than I thought we would. It's awesome. I love the bond that we all have."
Wisconsin's early enrollees arrived three months ago to begin the spring semester. They were able to get acclimated to schoolwork, as well as football expectations during offseason weightlifting sessions before spring practice began in March. Each player was a stellar high school prospect who now must figure out how to stand out in a crowd of talented college players.
Pearson was a two-time first-team all-state Associated Press honoree in Michigan. He recorded 355 tackles in his high school career with 21 interceptions. Pearson is learning from a group of Badgers safeties that includes D'Cota Dixon, Patrick Johnson, Eric Burrell, Seth Currens, Scott Nelson and Evan Bondoc. Dixon, the wise veteran of the group, is always happy to provide pointers when young players ask, and Pearson makes sure to pick his brain when possible.
Pearson noted his biggest adjustment has been away from football. Like the other early enrollees, he is taking a full course load that includes classes in communications, animal science, geoscience, military science and counseling psychology.
"The geoscience class is the most confusing class I have," he said. "It's about volcanoes. It's insane. You think when you grow up, 'Oh yeah, it's a volcano. You've got magma.' It goes way deeper than that.
"I came here, I was mature but not like what I thought it was going to be. You've got to grow up really fast when you get here and definitely handle your business. The first two months, I was slacking a little. I was more focused on football. Now, I have to understand without the school stuff, there's nothing. I've always been a good academic kid, but when I got here living on your own, it's like, 'Ah, it's school.' But it's been good."
Williams and Burton acknowledged the football changes they've made have been more difficult than adjusting to college courses. Burton tallied 127 tackles and 8 interceptions at Loganville (Ga.) High School. He earned all-region honors his final three seasons and was a first-team all-state selection as a senior.
Burton is battling with a number of talented cornerbacks for playing time. Dontye Carriere-Williams and Madison Cone are the presumed starters at this stage, while Faion Hicks and Caesar Williams also have had strong moments in spring practice. Burton continues to hone simple fundamentals such as tackling techniques.
"I just thought you ran straight at somebody and just hit them as hard as you can," Burton said. "There are different techniques to tackle, different techniques to off-man, press. It's different things that I didn't really think about. I was just playing when I was in high school."
Williams finished his three-year varsity career at Lincoln (Neb.) Southeast with 195 tackles and 7½ sacks. He also was a two-time first-team all-state selection. Williams was ranked as the No. 3 player in Nebraska for his class, according to the 247Sports composite.
"The biggest change, I think for most people who come here, is you go from being that guy, especially in Lincoln, you go from being the top guy to nothing," Williams said. "You're a freshman again. Everybody here was where you were at some point. So nobody cares that you were the top here or ranked, nobody cares anymore. The only number that matters is the one on your back."
Williams already has positioned himself as a backup nose guard to Olive Sagapolu and could take over as a starter in 2019. He said that would represent "a perfect scenario," and he will continue to work to achieve that goal.
While enrolling in college early isn't for everyone, the decision has proved to be immensely valuable for the five new Badgers. They have formed strong friendships, a better understanding of the game and even are beginning to find their way around campus.
"You get to meet everybody, you get to meet the team, you get to get a feel for the coaches and everybody before everybody else," Burton said. "Just have that early head start before you get into fall camp and everything is moving fast. You already know what to expect coming into it, and you can really just go from there."

Well bloom is a red head so she can't wear any dark reds or oranges as Stella owns oranges, plus blue is a color of leadership along with violet and green in this series because we see Tecna and Aisha take charge when Bloom is on the dark sideDelete

The Sirenix transformation music is AWESOME. Both transformations look good, I suppose, even if I at the moment prefer the designs of the Harmonix. Then again, maybe it's because the CGI on the Sirenix transformation sequence makes it a little difficult to get a full impression of what the Sirenix fully looks like? Or maybe that's just my personal opinion.ReplyDelete

I actually liked the transformation sequences... I just don't like their looks. Don't get me wrong, I love them and think Rainbow has done a great job using CGI, but te Winx now all look the same. Yeah, in their Winx/Magic Charmix their outfits weren't that different too, but look at Enchantix and Believix, in those transformations they all had individual outfits and wings, but in these transformations they have the same outfits or the same wings: in Harmonix they wear the same "wave" below their waist, if you know what I mean, and in Sirenix they have exactly the same wings, every one of them. But I still like the music and I'm still excited about the new seasons :)ReplyDeleteReplies
I agree about the sameness. I hope season 6 will fix that.Delete
I...don't like the CGI so much. Their faces are just wrong. Aisha and Tecna are okay, but the others? Ugh. They almost look like men. :\
And Sirenix looks weird. Too many random stripes all over the place. I wish they looked more like mermaids. I definitely prefer the Harmonix forms.
But the Sirenix song? I LOVE IT SO MUCH! It's gonna be stuck in my head all day! *O* And the sequence is awesome, too.

i agree the sirenix outfits looks halloweenish and makes the winx look skimpish with those tights and i thought sirenix should like mermaids thruDelete
and the harmonix with the long sash like gown is looking like sailor moons

I REALLY DISLIKE THE CGI.ReplyDelete
You got copyright violations?...ReplyDelete
How come?...
I haven't gotten any myself.
I love the CGI it is so gorgeous :D
Obviously the clips aren't fully
complete they're production
The CGI animation has improved by leaps and bounds. It's truly a feast for the eyes. I noticed that Musa and Flora's Sirenix transformation were heavily based on dancing and that their beginning shots were almost identical.ReplyDelete
im in love with their season 5 regular outfits <3 they're so cuteReplyDelete
- AnonymousJuly 16, 2012 at 8:16 AM
I have to say, im not all that excited anymore about season 5. I like the harmonix transformation but then the sirenix looks bad. I also don't understand why there has to be CGI episodes. CGI is expensive and it doesn't look as cool as the cartoon. And anyway i think nick needs to stop with the winx saying their names and powers its kinda annoying. Well i do hope nick does a good job with it :)ReplyDelete
I want season 5 five to come but its hard to believe its going to be the official trailer. and i think nick should stop it too. Its just like we know what their names and powers are and we don't care. I love the Harmonix but, not much of sirenix it just looks......bad.ReplyDelete

ugh i really hate the CGI...it looks terrible and it's not really making me want to see season 5. i love winx club but this is getting ridiculousReplyDelete
- AnonymousJuly 16, 2012 at 2:19 PM
I do think that the harmonix is beautiful and that the CGI for the sirenix is getting better and better, that being said there is one thing that bothers me. I feel as though the winx are loosing their individuality and because of that the magic element of the winx is a little lost for me.ReplyDelete
PS. Nick we know who they are after four seasons.
PSS. did anyone else notice Aisha is in Stella's usual spot?
- AnonymousJuly 16, 2012 at 10:57 PM
The harmonix transformation sequence seems really bland compared to all other 2D animation transformations, and the song is kind of meh( Hoping the Italian version will be better). The sirenix transformation though is really amazing and the song is too. The only two main issues is that last part in the song about a mystical potion and the fact that the wings seem all the same shape and color wise.ReplyDelete
- TecnalogixJuly 17, 2012 at 8:02 PM
Stella's end bit at the end of the trailer, I died! XD!!!ReplyDelete
That has to be the most random thing in Winx club history!
I'm obsessed with the Sirenix song. :DReplyDelete

Okay, what id with the CGI? AND how many freaking times are they going to be bringing back the Trix? I mean, COME OONNN!!! They were gone last season!ReplyDeleteReplies
I know right they should just get rid of them once and for all because everyone thinks they are gone then they reappear i really don't like the Trix. JUST GET RID OF THEM!!!!!!!!!!!! Well i hope they get rid of them once and for all this time and please don't keep them throughout the whole season.Delete
I love the Trix :)Delete
They're the most persistent villain's through out the series. I am happy they're back, as for the CGI I actually like it. I mean compared to what the preview CGI looked like it is much better. Look at Bloom's face and you'll see so much detail, you see the eye lashes individually.
It is pretty amazing :)

I Honestly believe that the animations look awful not the sirenix but the latest season and the specials it takes away the realisticness (dont think thats a word but you get what I mean)anyway I love the design of the harmonix outfits its really in tune with the ocean/sea theme, but the entire transformation is not looking good you see how in the last season with believix...It was new but it was a fluid animation just like the transformations before it, but now (its most likely for the "newer audiences" )its to cartoony and another thing the song it doesnt even say ocean!!!!!not one word correct me if im wrong sigh now onto the sirenix loving the song very stuck in my mind and the transformations are f.l.u.i.d! though still cgi. The outfits are okay but i dont get how they get these fabulous outfits (hamonix) then get deformed somehow into a tight mini skirt design with the same wing patterns its outragous hopefully theres another transformation that combines the two into a magestic form. Okay im done but before i go let me have a theory maybe this guy/girl who leaked it possibly wanted to see our reactions to the both so they can improve either one to benefit for both sides hopefully thats true but time will tell maybe he/she didnt like the harmonix transformation either.ReplyDelete
See ya

I hate the CGI! I love both transformations, although the Sirenix ones do look the same. The Sirenix song is amazing! The Harmonix one isn't as nice.ReplyDelete
People don't get it wrong nick only does the name thing for when its the first time . the harmonix looks and honestly stellas was the best. sirenix is so cool i like it better than harmonix and the outfits are unique if u really pay close attention.i have downloaded it and yeah i noticed they are each unique. Bloom's has a strap on her right shoulder connected to her blue top. Flora has a strapless top. Aisha has a strap on her left shoulder but unlike bloom her strap is around her neck. Musa is similar to Tecna's buty with string connect to her top that goes around her neck. Stella top'sstrap is on her left shoulder but unlike aishas top is doesn't go around her neck.Tecna is a straples but unlike flora's her isn't curved adn is straighter.ReplyDelete

Guys, rainbow made the CGI thing, nick didn't do it. But if the whole show was CGI I would hate this show. But sirenix and harmonix is a waste. Just listen. The power is to use powers underwater, but they seem to have no problem when on season3 when aisha got her enchantix. But the outfits are cute. But I don't think they will wear it that often since they will be underwater most of the time....ReplyDelete

four Pure Allergy Treatments That Present Reduction

1. Ginger

This is what aggrevates me (among other things). I was recently in hospital and was told that my blood work indicated that I was borderline hypothyroid. I was asked if I had recently gained any weight. I don't weigh myself because it is usually a meaningless number. But here is an example where knowing would help. It is one of the few things for which weight is a symptom. I told the doctor I didn't think I had gained any weight. The last time I weighed myself was August of 2001. Well, I weighed myself today and it looks like I've gained about 25 pounds. I was surprised. My clothes don't seem tighter. But now I have a dilemma. Well, not so much a dilemma as a painful task. I'm going to have to tell the doctor about this and talk to her about whether I should take medicines or do further tests.
In a fat neutral world, this would not be a big deal. This would be a symptom that I would report to my doctor. I would discuss this like the intelligent woman I am. I would receive all the information I needed to give informed consent. Then she and I would work out a treatment that made sense.
But I don't live in a fat neutral world. Fat hatred is going to complicate this. So far with this particular doctor I have not been told to lose weight. My weight has been irrelevant to the treatment recommendations. When she asked me if I had gained any weight recently, she did not ask me how much I weighed and she has not asked me to weigh in her office. I've been happy with this. She seems more concerned with my health than my weight, a refreshing change of pace. But I'm concerned now that if I bring this up, my weight will become the issues.
In addition, hypothyroid is a "fat person's disease" and I will have trouble trusting the information I'm given. There have been abuses in the past. Lots of fat people have been given thyroid treatments when they didn't need them. I'm not sure that I will be able to obtain clear and truthful information from which I can make a wise judgement. Informed consent may not be possible even if my doctor has the best intentions.
This is the price of stigma.

Class Action - POSTED: 2007/08/03 14:03
PharmaNet was formerly known as SFBC International Inc.
Under the settlement agreement, the class will be paid $28.5 million, of which $24.5 million will be in cash and $4 million may be either in cash or in stock, at the election of the company. The settlement requires contributions from a number of different defendants, and specifically requires certain of the company's former directors, officers and employees to make a personal contribution towards the settlement of the class' claims.
"We are pleased to have reached a settlement of this securities class action on terms that provide a significant benefit to the class, while permitting the company and its new management to focus on the future. We believe that the personal contribution portion of this settlement sends a clear message that shareholders will insist that the directors, officers and employees of publicly traded companies live up to their responsibilities to act as vigilant guardians for the interests of the shareholders they represent," said Paul Doane, director of ATRS.

(You can buy it in most pet shops,or even make your own out of un-scented toilet paper)
Most hamster care books say it is best to leave your hamster's bedding outside its sleeping house, but I know lots of people who put it in their bedding in the house anyway.
The reason they reccomend to leave the bedding outside is because it means your hamster can build its nest just how they want, as well as it giving them something to do and giving them a choice of where to put their nest.
Although the fuzzy, soft 'safe-bedding' is avaliable in many pet shops, it is not advisable to buy it (read comments to see more).
I used to give Lolly a small amount, but as it can be dangerous I have now stopped.

London West End ticket sales rise despite downturn
LONDON - London theatres had a strong year in 2011 despite the struggling British economy.
LONDON - London theatres had a strong year in 2011 despite the struggling British economy.
Figures released Tuesday show box office sales of 528 million pounds ($849 million) in the last year, a 3.1 per cent increase from 2010.
The number of individual visits was down slightly, to just under 14 million, but those who did attend paid more.
Industry group the Society of London Theatre, which compiled data from 52 venues, attributed the decline to some venues temporarily closing while new shows were set up.
It said long-running shows like "Les Miserables" and new hits like "One Man, Two Guvnors" helped revenues rise for an eighth year.
Society president Mark Rubinstein said advance sales for 2012 were "buoyant" despite fears this summer's Olympics will hit attendance.

*TSX down 41.25 points, or 0.35 percent, at 11,733.52
*Financials, energy sector weaken after jobs data (Updates to midmorning, adds quote)
By Jennifer Kwan
TORONTO, Aug 6 (Reuters) - Toronto's main stock index was lower on Friday morning after weaker than expected Canadian and U.S. jobs data spurred concern about the strength of the economic recovery.
Financial shares, down 1.3 percent, led the TSX lower. Royal Bank of Canada (RY.TO) declined 1.3 percent to C$51.97, and Toronto-Dominion Bank (TD.TO) fell 1.2 percent to C$72.31.
Canada's economy unexpectedly shed 9,300 jobs in July, the first month this year it has failed to create employment, suggesting the country's recovery from recession is starting to slow. Analysts had expected a rise of 15,000 jobs. [ID:nN06197942]
"It's not the end of the world because we've had a real streak of employment gains, particularly last month. Not totally unexpected, but I think the market had expected a little more," said Irwin Michael, portfolio manager at ABC Funds. The July report follows a strong gain of 93,200 jobs in June.
In the United States stocks fell sharply on Friday after data showed a steeper-than-expected drop of 131,000 in July nonfarm payrolls. Analysts polled by Reuters had forecast a 65,000 drop. [.N] [ID:nN05598486]
"The market is very thin and the market is merciless when it comes to not beating the expectations," Michael said.
At 11:17 a.m. (1517 GMT), the Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index .GSPTSE was down 41.25 points, or 0.35 percent, at 11,733.52, with six of its 10 sectors lower.
The weak U.S. jobs report also helped to push down the price of oil toward $81 a barrel. In Toronto, Encana Corp (ECA.TO) fell 1.7 percent to C$31.84.
Stronger bullion prices helped gold miners to climb. Agnico-Eagle (AEM.TO) was up 3 percent at C$61.35, and Barrick Gold (ABX.TO) was up 2.9 percent at C$44.70.
