Fox's Don't Forget the Lyrics hosted by Wayne Brady returned to the airwaves tonight at 8 PM. Lyrics is one of those shows I only catch if I'm flipping through the channels and everything else I want to watch is on commercial. It's entertaining, but I'm just not driven to tune in every week. Fox has been trying to bolster the rates of the show by having celebrity guest appearances. Last season, they welcomed Boyz II Men, Kimberly Locke, and Kenny Loggins.

Turrets Syndrome

Tourette syndrome (TS) is an inherited disorder of the nervous system, characterized by a variable expression of unwanted movements and noises (tics). Tourette’s is no longer considered a rare condition, but it may not always be correctly identified because most cases are classified as mild. Between 1 and 10 children per 1,000 have Tourette’s;as many as 10 per 1,000 people may have tic disorders,with the more common tics of eye blinking, coughing, throat clearing, sniffing, and facial movements. People with Tourette’s have normal life expectancy and intelligence.

The exact cause of Tourette’s is unknown, but it is well established that both genetic and environmental factors are involved. Some believe that there may even be latent advantages associated with the genetic vulnerability. A controlled study on a small group of individuals with TS found that cognitive control may be enhanced in young people with Tourette’s because the need to suppress tics results in more efficient control of inhibitions.

Receiving a teaching award is what teachers hope for. One Georgia teacher received such an award despite odds being against him. His name is Brad Cohen, and after hearing his background you might have your doubts if he could really teach, let alone do it in a way that is so admirable.Cohen has Turrets Syndrome. Which meant that his days in elementary and middle school were unpleasant. Teachers and students would pick on Cohen. The reason being is that Turrets Syndrome causes him to make noises and sounds he cannot control.
