Tennessee Teacher Has A Temper Tantrum In Class!

Donald Woods is the 11th grade Algebra teacher who went bananas on the students that he teaches at McGavock High School in Nashville,Tennessee.Mr. Woods became quite unruly after chastising his students for their behavior.I'm glad that the kids didn't emulate his crazy antics.

Maybe this veteran teacher needs to think about a new profession.Kids need adults to behave responsibly at all times.Even when they are not.Teachers & parents must set good examples for kids.Kids will be kids.And adults should BE adults.

Here's more from abc7:

"A veteran high school algebra teacher in Tennessee had a major meltdown in front of his students.

The bizarre incident was caught on tape by an 11th grade student who posted it on YouTube.

The footage shows the teacher, Donald Woods throwing furniture and yelling at the students. Several of them ran out of the classroom.

Woods was eventually handcuffed and taken away on a stretcher. Officials said he suffered from an apparent nervous breakdown.

Woods has been a teacher in Nashville for 17 years.He has been placed on administrative leave."(END OF EXCERPT)Read the rest here.

Toni Braxton's Financial Woes Still Plague Her!

I have a lot of empathy for Toni Braxton.She is a divorced,single mother who has a child with autism.Ms. Braxton is dealing with enough issues already.Unfortunately,she has financial woes as well.

It's hard to keep the celebrity lifestyle going.In other words,cultivating & maintaining an image can be an expensive endeavor along.Those weaves,personal trainers,etc... can put a person into debt.

When you add in all of the other expenses such as family & bills,the price tag can drag you down into a financial pit.And that's exactly what Toni Braxton has found herself in,even though she is a millionaire.In order to get herself out of that money pit,she has filed for bankruptcy again.

Here's more on that from TMZ:

"Braxton -- who sold more than 40 million albums in her career -- just filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in California ... and in the docs, the singer claims she's only worth somewhere between $1 mil and $10 mil ... but she could have up to $50 mil in debts.

In the docs, 43-year-old Braxton lists a ton of creditors to whom she thinks she may owe money... including:

-- AT&T
-- The Four Seasons Hotels
-- Cedars-Sinai Medical Center
-- Various medical bills
-- DirecTV
-- Neiman Marcus
-- The William Morris Agency
-- Tiffany & Co.
-- Orkin Pest Control
-- The Internal Revenue Service
-- BMW Financial Services
-- ADT Security
-- American Express
-- Flamingo Las Vegas
-- Mesa Air Conditioning
-- Nevada Power Company
-- Screen Actors Guild
-- The Westin
-- Wells Fargo Bank


Braxton also claims she may owe money to the City of L.A. Parking Violations Bureau -- and the DMV in both California and Nevada.

Braxton has a storied history of financial problems -- she filed for bankruptcy back in 1998 ... and earlier this year, the IRS filed a lien against her for $396k."(END OF EXCERPT)Read the entire post here.

Another Lion Attack In The Ukraine!

I've never liked the circus that much.What if those tamed lions decide to go wild & attack people? Well,that's what some audience members who went to a Ukraine circus were undoubtedly thinking after they witnessed two lions attack its trainer!

One lady said that she was trying to get her kid out of there before the lions lunged at them.What a horrific time they had at the circus watching a man get mauled by lions!I just hope the kids who witnessed that incident won't be plagued by nightmares.

Here's more from CBS:

"The countries of the former Soviet Union have a circus tradition that goes back at least 100 years and their performers are known around the world.

But on Saturday, a performance of one of those circuses went horribly wrong, and an American family got it all on video.

CBS News correspondent Betty Nguyen reported on "The Early Show" the city of Lviv in Ukraine is known as the "City of Lions," but a shocking new video gives that nickname a new meaning.

Video taken by American father Doug Sheperd following an initial attack on Ukrainian lion tamer Oleksie Pinko shows the trainer trying to keep the lion at bay with a steel rod.

Doug Shepherd told CBS News via Skype, "Kids are screaming, and kids are only 10 feet away and (my family was) probably 35 feet away."

The video shows the lion roaring, lunging and striking, and another lion joins in, biting down on the trainer's left arm.

Circus workers quickly attempted to hose down the angry lions, separating them from their prey. The crowd, including Shepherd's own two children, scream in terror.

Masha Shepherd told CBS News, "I was just grabbing my daughter and trying to run because I thought that they were going to come out." (END OF EXCERPT)Read more here.
