RASCAL FLATTS SET TO RECORD CONCERT SPECIAL. Rascal Flatts will tape their concert this Friday in Minnesota for an upcoming special on ABC called Rascal Flatts: Nothing Like This Presented by JCPenney. Performing live has always been the trio's favorite part of their job and they only wish they could make every fan happy with their set list. “Somebody leaves always pissed off because we didn't get to their favorite song. Honestly, it's one of the hard things about doing what we do. We love playing live but you can't fit 29 songs into an hour-and-a-half. You just can't do it." Rascal Flatts: Nothing Like This Presented by JCPenney will air Saturday March 12th at 8 PM Eastern on ABC.

MAKE YOU LAUGH
Tuesday, the U.S. House unanimously approved a bill to save printing costs by ending the mandatory printing of hundreds of copies of every congressional document. The sponsor said, "This is just common sense." However, since it's not law yet, the House had to print over 1,000 pages worth of copies of the bill to end the printing of copies of bills.
* They decided it was pointless to print all those copies of bills when nobody ever read them anyway.

What am I?

This Is Nuts
As high as tuition is, what are students getting out of college? Not much, according to a University of Missouri study of over 2,300 undergraduates. They found that during the first two years, students tend to go to big, auditorium-like classes that require little work and cover things they already studied in high school. Half didn't take a single course that required 20 pages of writing in a whole semester, and a third didn't take one course that required 40 pages of reading a week. The study, in the new book "Academically Adrift," found that 45 percent of students show no significant improvement in critical thinking, complex reasoning or writing by the end of their sophomore year. But a UCLA spokesman rebutted it with another study that showed high student satisfaction with their experience.
* In other words, you could get the entire freshman-sophomore experience just by spending $14,000 a year on beer for two years.
HEALTH MOMENT
The antidepressant Lexapro significantly cut the number and severity of hot flashes in healthy menopausal women, offering a new way to treat the condition without hormones, U.S. researchers said on Tuesday.
Hormone replacement therapy or HRT is the only approved treatment for hot flashes. But a large study in 2002 showed it raised the risk of breast and ovarian cancers and strokes in older women, and doctors now prescribe it sparingly.
"One of the reasons for the study was to try to find something other than hormonal therapy," said Ellen Freeman of the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, whose study appears in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
Her team compared Forest Laboratories' Lexapro, to a placebo in 205 healthy women who were having nearly 10 hot flashes a day.
After eight weeks of treatment, women who took Lexapro said they had half as many hot flashes, and those they had were less bothersome than at the start of the study.
Smaller studies had hinted that Lexapro might help, but it had not been studied in women who were not depressed.
"What this study does is provide an answer to that question that it's effective for hot flashes in generally healthy women," Freeman said. "The side effects in these women are overall fairly low. They tolerate it very well."
BREAK TIME CHATTER
University of Minnesota researchers have proven scientifically that sports fans really love to drink. They surveyed fans at 13 Major League Baseball games and 3 NFL games and found that 48 percent drink at sporting events. Of the 18 percent who have tailgate parties before the game, 82 percent have two or more drinks. People under 35 are nine times more likely to leave the game drunk, and tailgate partiers are 14 times more likely. They say if the sample reflects the entire crowd, then about 5,000 people leaving a typical NFL game are legally drunk.
* On Super Bowl Sunday, they're super drunk.
And I leave you with this thought.
"The longer I live the more beautiful life becomes. If you foolishly ignore beauty, you will soon find yourself without it. "
