ALAN JACKSON AND SONY END LONG-TIME RELATIONSHIP. Sony Music Nashville has confirmed that the label and their long-time artist Alan Jackson have parted ways. Sony called it an “amicable parting” and wished him well in the statement released on Thursday. Even without a label home, Alan will probably be writing a few songs in anticipation of another album or maybe just lounging around at home. “I spend more time at home or doing things on my hobbies and junk like that then I do writing songs or playin’ or anything. So it’s like, people ask you about retiring…I was like, ‘what am I gonna retire from I don’t hardly do anything now!’ People think you’re just you know, every day doing interviews or writing but uh, I’m usually just piddlin’ around outside.” Another Sony artist, Martina McBride, parted ways with the label last year and signed with Taylor Swift’s label family at Big Machine Records.

What am I?
A Candle.

Our Hometown Hero(’s) Today is/are Principal Nyeta Haines
Principal Nyeta Haines and then Assistant Principal Kathie Davis (now the principal at Lynn Middle School) discovered in 2005 that 127 17-year-olds at the school had fewer than 12 credits - 29 are needed to graduate - they created the POWER program to move at-risk students toward a high school diploma. POWER (which stands for Providing Opportunities With Educational Relationships, Rigor and Relevance) provides students with an opportunity to graduate in a non-traditional pathway. It also gives them some guidance and assistance in planning their future endeavors. Many students in the POWER program are at risk because of a variety of issues, including personal or family health issues; they have children of their own, they are in trouble with the law, live on their own, work full time or have school safety issues.
Principal Nyeta Haines is/are our Hometown Hero Today and we salute you.
This Is Nuts
Packers fans at the Tiffany Sports Lounge in St. Paul, Minnesota, literally roasted the Bears by roasting a bear. The owner's cousin shot a 180-pound black bear during hunting season and froze it, and the bar cooked it in a pig roaster over hickory and charcoal and planned to serve it after the game. But the health department barred that because the meat was unprocessed. So they let people take their pictures with the roasting bear, then served it at his cousin's post-game party.
* Packers fans think that you process meat by pouring processed cheese over it.
HEALTH MOMENT
Couples who struggle to conceive could find baby-making help from antioxidants such as vitamin E and zinc, hints a new review of more than 30 studies.
The researchers focused on men who were subfertile — less fertile than average but still capable of making a baby — and found that those who took antioxidants were more than four times as likely to get their partners pregnant than subfertile men who did not take the supplements.
The New Zealand team stops short of saying that antioxidants actually improve fertility, however. More research is needed to be sure.
Subfertility affects one in 20 men and is responsible for half of delayed conceptions. Up to 80 percent of cases are thought to be due to the effects of oxidative stress on sperm cells, lowering both their numbers and their quality.
Based on 96 pregnancies among 964 couples in 15 of the studies, the researchers found that antioxidant use by the male partner increased the odds of conception four-fold.
Further, men taking antioxidants improved the likelihood of their partners giving birth to a live baby by a factor of five.
It is unrealistic to think one treatment will be good for most couples.
There is no evidence that antioxidants cause harm. But since we also don't know which antioxidants or doses are beneficial, and none have FDA approval for infertility — consumers are left with purchasing these based on very limited data.
BREAK TIME CHATTER
A Montgomery, Alabama, law firm has filed a class action lawsuit against Taco Bell, claiming that the fast food chain is engaging in false advertising by saying that its tacos are filled with beef. They say that it is actually "taco meat filling" that's only 36 percent beef, and the rest is extenders such as water, wheat oats, soy lecithin, corn starch and "Isolated Oat Product." They say the USDA defines beef as "flesh of cattle," and they want Taco Bell to start saying that their food contains "taco meat filling." Although, actually, the USDA requires "taco meat filling" to be at least 40 percent beef.
* So maybe Taco Bell should say their tacos contain a "Vaguely Meat-like Filling."
And I leave you with this thought.
