So what does the duo do when they have a break from the road, singer Jennifer Nettles admits she loves to cook for friends. But one very important friend, band mate Kristian Bush, says he’s yet to experience the magic made in Jennifer’s kitchen. “[Kristian] I get little blackberry photo pictures of the things she’s cooking. [Jennifer] Oh yeah, I take pictures of my food… [Kristian] She takes pictures of her food and sends it to me, and I’m like ‘really?!’ and now I’m kind of drooling, you know, where most people would send pictures of themselves, no, no—she’s sends me pictures like ‘check out this bundt cake!’ [Jennifer] Yeah, right, sexy bundt cake!’ [Kristian] All of a sudden, I’m like ‘I hate you! I want to be there eating this!’ [Jennifer] I like to cook… [Kristian] You know?!”

Our Hometown Hero(’s) Today is/are Elaine Benally
For almost two decades, Benally has brought non-Navajo people onto the Navajo reservation to visit schools, trading posts, tribal offices, historic sites and other indigenous places to help them appreciate and better understand her unique and proud people.
Larger than 10 of the United States’ 50 states, the Navajo Nation, encompasses 27,000 square miles in Arizona, New Mexico and Utah, and is home to more than 250,000 American Indians. The cultural immersion experience includes Benally driving guests in a van across the reservation on unpaved, single-lane roads recently washed out by rainstorms. Navajo travel the routes daily, sometimes waiting hours for water to recede so the roads become passable. The visits not only have helped non-Navajo better understand their American Indian neighbors, but have “laid the foundation for a lot of shy Navajo students from deep on the reservation to make a transition to college.
Elaine Benally is/are our Hometown Hero Today and we salute you.
This Is Nuts
Candy Dynamics of Indianapolis announced a nationwide voluntary recall of a Pakistani-made line of candies called "Toxic Waste Nuclear Sludge Chew Bars." One lot was found to exceed FDA limits on lead. There have been no reported illnesses, but the company is recalling all flavors of "Toxic Waste Nuclear Sludge Chew Bars" shipped since 2007 "out of an abundance of caution."
* Because anyone who'd sell Pakistani-made candy named after toxic waste and nuclear sludge is all about caution.
HEALTH MOMENT
Despite being thinner, Asian Americans are more likely than whites to have type 2 diabetes , and the problem is growing, a new study finds.
Using data from an ongoing government health survey, researchers found that Asian Americans had consistently higher rates of type 2 diabetes than white Americans from 1997 to 2008.
What's more, diabetes rates rose over time for both racial groups, reaching 8 percent among Asian adults and 6 percent among whites.
That was despite the fact that Asian Americans were less likely to be overweight, one of the prime risk factors for type 2 diabetes.
The findings are in line with past studies showing that Asian background itself is a risk factor for diabetes.
Genes are partly to blame, but it's the combination of genetic vulnerability and lifestyle that's key. Asians may be even more susceptible to unhealthy food and related weight gain. Specifically, studies have shown that even though Asian adults tend to weigh less than white and black adults, they often have a higher percentage of fat surrounding their abdominal organs. This fat is particularly linked to the risk of type 2 diabetes.
Then there is exercise, which is thought to help lower diabetes risk regardless of body weight. Based on health surveys, Asian immigrants to the U.S. are less physically active than native-born non-Asians.
So for Asian Americans, as for all Americans, healthy diet choices, calorie consciousness and regular exercise are key to curbing diabetes risk.
BREAK TIME CHATTER
Boca Raton, Florida, police are trying to identify a burglar with a bizarre modus operandi. Sometime overnight on January 11th, an unknown person entered a local apartment. Nobody was injured, and nothing was stolen. But the intruder moved a couch to rearrange the living room furniture. The resident said he suspects it was either a homeless person or an ex-girlfriend.
* I think it was the latter, a vindictive ex-girlfriend trying to destroy his feng shui.
And I leave you with this thought.
"Goodness is the only investment which never fails."
