History of the Internet

The beginning of the Cold War started a massive revolution to revamp communications. At this point the only way to really communicate was by telephone or Morse Code, this was about to change drastically over the next 20-30 years with the invention of the computer. The soviets had the upper hand for a number of years but with the invention of hot potato routing and sending small packets through the infrastructure, Americans were able to develop the first email system in 1969. This was begun by stationing 4 massive computers along the west coast and into Utah. They were able not only to communicate with each other but also send information to each other.

Super Typhoon Haiyan

This week one of the largest typhoons of this season, let alone of all time. It unleashed ridiculous amounts of rain on already shaken up areas. Some had already experienced a 7.2 magnitude earthquake. It has flooded most of the coastal cities, and it has uprooted an innumerable amount of trees. It has destroyed numerous houses, and it has cut power to millions of people. Though many areas have been devastated, the death toll is exceedingly low- 3 deaths. Many of the areas affected were on low tide which did not allow the storm surge to reach its full potential. This typhoon was the largest tropical cyclone to make landfall anywhere in the world. Haiyan is expected to exit the Philippines by the end of Friday, chug across the South China Sea, regain strength, and then slam into Vietnam as a category 4 typhoon. All of its winds were on the top end of the Saffir-Simpson Scale for a category 5 hurricane with winds upwards of 175 miles per hour.

Top 50 stat leaders in TN

This past week the Jackson sun has released to top 50 stat leaders for TN. The top 7 all have at least 1000 yards rushing, and the leader is Keyon Crisp for Bolivar. He has rushed for over 1600 yards on 239 carries with 18 TD's Our very own Andrew Goldsmith has rushed for over 700 yards on 75 carries with 7 TD's. James Bond also rushes for Trinity, and he has rushed 74 times for 463 yards and 6 TD's. We hope they plans to extend these stats this Friday against Riverside. Kyle Akin is the only passer in West TN to have over 2000 yards passing, he also has over a 63% completion percentage. 28 TD's and only 5 Int accompany his other incredible stats. Our very own Trinity receivers dot the receiving stat page in many areas. Eli Parker has 41 receptions for 689 yards and 7 TD's. Chase Diggs is just a few slots down with 34 receptions for 567 yards and 7 TD's. Also on the list is Grant Reviere. He has 31 receptions for 405 yards and 6 TD's. To round out the Trinity receivers on this list is Ryan Smith. He ha 14 receptions for 184 yards and 3 TD's. As you can see the Trinity Lions are a formidable force on offense. They have 2 of the top rushers per carry in the state and the top passer. 4 of Trinity's receivers (albeit Landon Ross is not on there) also made the list.
