Celebrity Spotlight
TAYLOR SWIFT STARTS OFF NEW YEAR WITH NUMBER ONE ALBUM! Taylor Swift starts off 2011 with the top album on Billboard's Country Albums chart. To date she has sold over three million copies of Speak Now which was released October 25th of last year. The project allowed Taylor to clarify a few of her thoughts from her past where she didn't feel as though she could say exactly what she was feeling in the moment. (Cut #4) "We wait until the last minute to say what's on our mind. And this album is fourteen songs of that. Of songs that are really confessions, sort of open letters to people that I didn’t exactly make clear in my real life. But I get this wonderful alternate reality that is music where I get to say exactly what I was thinking."

MAKE YOU LAUGH
Police in Atlanta say that a nightclub valet's life was saved by his cellphone. Two men were kicked out of the Halo club at 3 a.m. Thursday morning, and they allegedly fired off several rounds outside. One of the bullets struck the parking attendant in the chest. But it didn't penetrate his body because the cell phone in his pocket stopped the bullet.
* It used to be a Smart Phone, but now, it has brain damage.

HOMETOWN HERO’S are people who serve other people, their community, and take pride in honoring, restoring, preserving, or celebrating an aspect of American hometown life, be it their work, passion, or pastime. Thus, the truest meaning of “HOMETOWN HERO ” is people protecting, defending, caring for or serving others. With that as the background, WHO is a “HOMETOWN HERO ” in your life or the life of others ? E-mail me, dondiego@kgrt.com and let me know who they are.Some of the greatest “HOMETOWN HERO’S ” in our lives are unknown to the outside world and garner very little, if any, attention.

This Is Nuts
Last Thursday , House Republicans kept their campaign promise to read the Constitution out loud. But that doesn't mean Congress members actually paid any attention to it. Some liberal members busied themselves sending Twitter Tweets. But one moment of drama came during the reading of the clause that says nobody but a natural-born citizen can be President, and a woman in the Gallery yelled out, "Except Obama! Except Obama!" and had to be removed.
* Reading the Constitution is like passing a bill: Congress had to do it so they could find out what's in it.
HEALTH MOMENT
New research found two weeks of treatment with an antibiotic relieves symptoms for some sufferers of irritable bowel syndrome, a poorly understood and painful condition that especially afflicts younger women.
In two large studies, 41 percent of the patients who took the antibiotic rifaximin said their symptoms substantially improved, compared to 32 percent of those who got fake pills. Their relief lasted for up to 10 weeks.
Experts want to see if that translates into a longer term benefit. But the fact that relief extended beyond the two weeks of treatment suggests that they’ve actually touched on the cause of IBS, as opposed to just covering up symptoms.
Irritable bowel syndrome, or IBS, is a common gastrointestinal ailment, affecting as many as 1 in 5 Americans. It is more common in women than men. Main symptoms are abdominal pain, bloating and diarrhea or constipation, or both.
What causes the disorder has been a mystery; sensitivity to certain foods or stress are among the theories. Patients are typically told to change their diet, reduce stress and take medicines or fiber supplements to ease symptoms.
Some scientists think an overgrowth of bacteria in the gut is behind the problem, but studies testing that have had mixed results.
BREAK TIME CHATTER
For several years, environmentalists have warned about the "Great Garbage Patch," a giant floating island of discarded plastic in the Pacific, twice as big as Texas and growing tenfold every decade. But Oregon State University oceanography Prof. Angelicque White just finished mapping it and she says that's a big exaggeration. She says that while it's true trash dumping in the ocean is a serious problem, the so-called "Great Garbage Patch" is actually only 1/100th the size of Texas and that people standing on the decks of passing ships often don't even see it at all.
* Don't think of it as a floating plastic trash heap...Think of it as "The Coral Reef of the Future!"
And I leave you with this thought.
"There is a fountain of youth: it is your mind, your talents, the creativity you bring to your life and the lives of the people you love. When you learn to tap this source, you will have truly defeated age."
