CHRIS YOUNG’S EMBARASSING MOMENT ON STAGE WITH RASCAL FLATTS. Grammy-nominated artist Chris Young has spent the last few months on tour with Rascal Flatts on their Nothing Like This tour. After getting used to outdoor shows in the summer, moving inside for the winter months made for an embarrassing moment on stage one night for Chris. “I wasn’t used to the fact of how dark it was on stage and where Joe Don left his pedal board so I’m walkin’ across the stage and, uh … I stepped right on his gain pedal and so all the sudden it was just like ridiculously loud and he’s starin’ at me goin’, ‘Smooth…that was good man.’” Chris continues touring with Rascal Flatts through March and then will join Blake Shelton for a few stops on the 2011 All About Tonight tour.
MAKE YOU LAUGH
Homeland Security Director Janet Napolitano announced that the confusing color-coded terrorism alert system is being discontinued. Instead, she said that when the government has information about a specific, credible threat, they'll share it with the public and tell us what we can do.
• Until then, they'll keep doing sensible things, like strip-searching our grandmothers.

A needle and thread.

This Is Nuts
In Washington, Office of Personnel Management Director John Berry apologized for letting 300,000 federal workers go home two hours early Wednesday. He thought it would help them beat the storm, not realizing how fast the snow was falling. Most got stuck in traffic and some didn't make it home until after midnight, over 9 hours later.
* Say, here's an idea: why don't they all just stay home until the budget's balanced?
HEALTH MOMENT
Feeling depressed? It could be all that junk food you’re eating.
A Spanish study has found that people who eat food high in trans fats and saturated fats increase their risk of depression.
The six-year study analyzed the diet and lifestyle of more than 12,000 volunteers. At the beginning, none of the participants has been diagnosed with depression. By the end, more than 600 people were battling the condition.
Participants with an elevated consumption of trans fats (fats present in artificial form in industrially produced pastries and fast food...) presented up to a 48 percent increase in the risk of depression when they were compared to participants who did not consume these.
On the other end of the spectrum, researchers looked at the impact that foods such as fish, vegetable oils and olive oil had on mental health, and found they are associated with a lower risk of suffering depression.
According to the National Institute of Mental Health, an estimated 15 million people suffer from depression in the U.S.
BREAK TIME CHATTER
TripAdvisor.com, where the public reviews hotels, has awarded its "Dirtiest Hotel in America" title to the Grand Resort Hotel in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, home of Dollywood amusement park. Of the 224 reviews online, 161 gave it the lowest rating of "terrible." Guests called it a "nasty place" and a "filthy, bug-infested dump," and noted cracks in the door frames so wide that you could see people walking by in the hallways, "carpeting so greasy and dirty you wouldn't want to sit your luggage" on it, "spiders actively making webs in every corner," "chewing tobacco spit oozing down the halls," One person said, "I would not let my dog sleep there." The furious CEO of the company that owns the Grand says he fired the manager, hired new maintenance staff and ordered the rooms cleaned with a new sanitizer.
• The bed bugs love the fresh scent!
And I leave you with this thought.
"Man has made many machines, complex and cunning, but which of them indeed rivals the workings of his heart?"
