LEE BRICE'S TOUR BUS HIT BY L-A BUS - TWICE! It's one thing to have your tour bus involved in an accident but Lee Brice's bus suffered big time when it was hit by an L-A city bus not once – but twice! Lee was in town getting ready to play a gig at the Viper Room Tuesday night when he got the call. The news hit hard considering how long Lee's waited for his precious bus. "I was in a van for three years with my whole band and we were pushing through all over the country in a 15 passenger van. So then 'Love Like Crazy' comes along and it gets just enough money to where you can pay for a bus and you can now enjoy this career that you've worked hard for." The L-A city bus side swiped Lee's bus knocking off the mirror and then managed to drive back over the mirror as it pulled away. The bus could not drive without a mirror so all of Lee's gear was loaded into a Tahoe and driven to the Viper Room in time for the show.

This Is Nuts
Saturday in Scotland, a member of a mountain climbing group had just reached the summit of 3,589-foot Sgurr Choinnich Mor peak when he slipped and fell 1,000 feet down the extremely steep and craggy eastern slope. Rescuers in a helicopter came looking to retrieve his body and were stunned to find him standing at the bottom, looking at a map. They couldn't believe it was him, but there were pieces of his equipment all the way down, where he'd bounced off of various outcroppings. He was unscathed except for superficial cuts and bruises, a minor chest injury and shock at still being alive.
They expect he also had a concussion because he's a man and he was looking at a map.
HEALTH MOMENT
The hunt for a substance that can improve memory took a promising turn, as researchers said they had found a method that appears to reduce forgetting in rats, The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday.
According to a study published in the journal Nature, scientists from Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York showed for the first time that a molecule that occurs naturally in the human brain during memory formation appeared to help rats enhance the strength and duration of some types of memories.
Researchers said that when the substance -- known as IGF-II, a protein-like molecule important for cell growth and development as well as tissue repair -- was blocked from the brain, the rats did not remember what they had learned.
The findings are notable in part because they showed improvement in an area of memory known as declarative memory -- the ability to remember places, facts and things. Declarative memory is affected in Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia, and researchers have long sought ways to improve or preserve it.
One advantage of IGF-II is that it can cross the blood-brain barrier, so it could potentially be administered through the bloodstream or as a vapor through the nose, rather than injected directly into the brain. And because it exists in the body already, it is unlikely to be toxic.
BREAK TIME CHATTER
Friday, 75-year-old Joy Cassidy of Boise, Idaho, pleaded guilty to malicious injury to property in a string of over 10 condiment assaults on the local library book drop. As revenge for conflicts she'd had with the librarians, Cassidy would pour ketchup, corn syrup or other condiments through the slot and onto the returned books. She'd been doing it since 2009 and has caused over $1,000 in damages. The mystery was finally solved when police held a stake-out and caught Cassidy at the drop box with an open jar of mayonnaise.
She was sent for psychiatric evaluation at the Mayo Clinic.
And I leave you with this thought.
"To work in the world lovingly means that we are defining what we will be for, rather than reacting to what we are against."
