Weeki Wachee Springs founder inducted into Florida Tourism Hall of Fame
Brooksville, FL -- Newton Perry, founder of the world-renowned Weeki Wachee Springs Park and famed Mermaids, was recently inducted into the Florida Tourism Hall of Fame as a Tourism Honor Roll recipient.
The award was presented as part of the opening ceremonies at the 44th?Annual Florida Governor's Conference on Tourism. On hand to receive the award was Delee Perry, one of Newton's daughters who currently resides in Ocala.
Along with his tourism accomplishments, Newt Perry experimented with underwater breathing hoses and invented the method of breathing with free flowing air hoses supplying oxygen from a compressor, rather than swimming with a tank strapped to the back. The air hose gave the appearance that humans could breathe twenty feet underwater on their own.
Created in 2007, the Florida Tourism Honor Roll serves to acknowledge those historical visionaries whose achievements and extraordinary careers significantly impacted the growth of Florida tourism.?

Eagles, Reid left to pick up the pieces (AP)
PHILADELPHIA ? Fans are calling for Andy Reid's dismissal more vehemently than ever. Assistant coaches are arguing on the sideline. A disgruntled star player isn't giving his best effort.
There's no saving the Philadelphia Eagles this season.
The best team money can buy turned out to be a whole lot of wasted dollars. All those big-name acquisitions the Eagles made in the offseason couldn't even get them back to where they were last year.
The defending NFC East champions are 4-7 following a 38-20 loss to Tom Brady and the New England Patriots that wasn't as close as the 18-point margin. The Eagles aren't mathematically eliminated from playoff contention, but it's just a matter of time at this point.
"These last five games? I think they'll show the character," rookie center Jason Kelce said Monday. "Whenever you're facing adversity, or whenever you're put in a situation where it's tough, you don't know what the outcome is going to be for the year and everything else. I think true character. Everybody can play when you're up and when things are going well, but when you're backed into a corner, when you're down, that's when true character shows."
The Eagles don't have a lot of time to dwell on their latest loss. They have to get ready for a cross-country trip to play at Seattle (4-7) on Thursday night.
Road games will be more hospitable than playing at Lincoln Financial Field, where the Eagles have lost eight of their last nine games. Things were downright ugly on Sunday after the Eagles blew an early 10-0 lead.
Fans started chanting: "Fire Andy!" in the third quarter and the always sold-out stadium was nearly empty by the end. Defensive line coach Jim Washburn exchanged words with offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg in the first half. DeSean Jackson dropped three passes, including two that should've been touchdowns, and the diminutive wideout clearly shied away from contact before getting benched.
"I just have to go out there and do my job. I have a job to do, which I get paid to do, I have to go out there and give my best effort," said Jackson, who is unhappy he didn't get a new contract. "Regardless of what happens, the dropped balls and all, it's not like it's happening on purpose. Everybody has things that they have to go through in life. Right now this is what I am going through to better myself. I will be all right."
Jackson is costing himself money with every lackluster effort, missed meeting, deactivation and benching. He's one of the most exciting players in the league when he has the ball in his hands. But, but Jackson isn't among the elite receivers and won't be getting top money from Philadelphia after his contract expires at the end of the season.
The Eagles are going to need a whole lot more than another receiver next year. Their biggest problems are on defense. Reid's decision to switch Juan Castillo from his longtime position as offensive line coach to defensive coordinator was highly questioned at the time. It looks like an egregious mistake with each passing game.
Castillo had no answers for Brady, who had his way with Philadelphia's defense. Brady picks opponents apart often, so that's no surprise. But he did it with such ease and hardly broke a sweat against the Eagles. The defense was completely overmatched and seemed totally clueless. Several offsides penalties and having 12 men on the field are inexcusable. There appeared to be mass confusion at times and players didn't know who was supposed to be on the field.
"We have a lot of great players on this team and it's hard to see us lose," defensive end Trent Cole said. "We know what kind of talent we have, so we have to pull together. It's hard. We're not going to bow our heads, we're going to keep them up and keep moving forward, go make plays and go win ball games."
It's uncertain whether Vince Young or Michael Vick will start against the Seahawks. Young played the last two games because Vick has broken ribs. Young threw for a career-best 400 yards against the Patriots, though his numbers were inflated a bit because of the score.
Notes: Vick, CB Nnamdi Asomugha (knee), WR Jeremy Maclin (hamstring, shoulder), OL King Dunlap (concussion) and LB Moise Fokou (ankle) didn't practice Monday. DT Cullen Jenkins (thumb), RB LeSean McCoy (toe), CB Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie (ankle) were limited.

Texas asks court to stop redistricting plan
WASHINGTON (AP) ? The Supreme Court has been asked to stop a federal court from implementing a state redistricting map in Texas that could increase minority representation in the state Legislature.
The state's attorney general, Greg Abbott, filed the request with the high court on Monday. The court-drawn map was drafted after minority groups challenged the original plan passed by the Republican-dominated state Legislature.
The map drawn by the San Antonio-based federal court could lead to greater minority representation and give Democrats a chance to add as many as a dozen seats in the Legislature. Abbott and other Republican leaders have denied that any of the legislature's redistricting maps would diminish minority voting power.
The court-ordered map will remain in place until the legal fights are resolved.

Meaghan Kirby: 'Tis The Season
I listened to music on October 18, 2011, and I liked it.There's only one reason for Halloween and Thanksgiving. I mean it's fun dressing up in a costume and getting candy and having dinner with family, but Christmas is my favorite time of year. The idea of people actually trying to be nice to each other and giving (and receiving) gifts just brings joy to my heart. The only thing I love more than Christmas and Nancy Drew books is Christmas music. Although Christmas is about two months away, I find myself listening to it. If Justin Bieber can record an album in July, I am entitled to listening to Christmas music in the privacy of my own room, since that is the agreement in my household. It's a harsh world!
Now I don't find anything wrong with listening to Christmas music, since it is a genre of music much like pop or heavy metal. If somebody wants to blare Metallica from their car, I can blast Michael Buble's Christmas CD if I choose. As long as I pay for gas, my choice in music should be up to me -- right, Katie?
I can't say what draws me to Christmas music but I distinctly remember listening to Jessica Simpson's Christmas album while driving through the winding hills of Ireland, during my second visit. In some cases, I can listen to songs that discuss the change in temperature such as "Winter Wonderland" or "Baby, It's Cold Outside." This works in my favor, especially due to the October storm that occurred right before Halloween. It almost felt right to dress up as Santa for Halloween, even though that idea fell flat among family members.
Thanksgiving is around the corner and as soon as Black Friday is upon us, I will be blasting Christmas music until I am told to stop. I look forward to the nights of listening to John Tesh giving me "Intelligence for Your Life" while driving around looking at Christmas lights. It's never to early or late to start listening.
