Their favorite love song of all times just happens to be their number one hit “Bless The Broken Road.” “Not just because we sung it. It's just one of those incredible lyrics about everything that you go through leads you up to the point to where you finally fall in love with the one you're meant to be with.” Combined, all three members of Rascal Flatts have 24 years of marriage experience under their belt so it’s safe to say they know a thing or two about being romantic.

If you go to the movies and you're paying, is it cheaper to take one friend to the movies twice, or two friends to the movies at the same time?
It's cheaper to take two friends at the same time. In this case, you would only be buying three tickets, whereas if you take the same friend twice you are buying four tickets.

Our Hometown Hero(’s) Today is/are Anthony Leanna
Anthony, was only 8 years old when he first visited his ailing grandmother in the hospital. "I really loved my grandma, and I was afraid she’d die," says Anthony, whose grandmother, Darlene Chartier, had undergone surgery for breast cancer in 1999. "I was also afraid she’d lose her hair like the other cancer patients I saw in the hospital."
Although his grandmother didn’t lose her hair—she had radiation treatment rather than chemotherapy—Anthony couldn’t forget about all of the patients who did, especially the kids. "I decided I was going to collect hats for cancer patients to cheer them up," he says.
Anthony started on a small scale in the spring of 2001. With a little help from his mother, and father he set out two plastic buckets to collect hats in front of stores. After a couple of weeks, the buckets were full. Then he contacted the hospital his grandma had been in, and asked if he could use these brand new hats for cancer patients.
The response was so enthusiastic that Anthony kept his bucket collection going and looked for ways to expand his efforts. "I wanted to collect and distribute hats to people across the United States," he says. His solution was to form the nonprofit Heavenly Hats Foundation and set up a website to allow online visitors a place to offer donations or request hats.
The web site is, heavenlyhats.com
Anthony Leanna is/are our Hometown Hero Today and we salute you.
This Is Nuts
Yesterday, several 2012 Republican Presidential hopefuls spoke to the conservative group CPAC, and among them was Donald Trump. Apparently, he's serious about running for president. Trump said our current leaders have made American a laughingstock and let China own us. He said he is pro-life, opposes more taxes and gun control, and he would replace Obamacare with something that makes sense for business and won't drive us into bankruptcy.
* Trump knows how to pull off a bankruptcy so that the people who loaned you the money are the ones who go broke.
HEALTH MOMENT
A drug derived from the popular curry spice could help aid the recovery of stroke patients, U.S. researchers found. Scientists from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center announced Wednesday that they created a new molecule from curcumin -- a chemical component of turmeric -- and found in laboratory experiments that it affects mechanisms that protect and help regenerate brain cells after a stroke.
The new drug, called CNB-001, does not attack clots but instead repairs stroke damage at the molecular level that supports pathways that feed brain cells, said research scientist Dr. Paul Lapchak, of Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. "CNB-001 has many of the same benefits of curcumin but appears to be a better choice of compound for acute stroke because it crosses the blood-brain barrier, is quickly distributed in the brain and moderates several critical mechanisms involved in neuronal survival.”
The researchers hope that the drug could be trialed on humans soon.
BREAK TIME CHATTER
Yesterday, thousands of people gathered in the center of Cairo for what they, and Obama intelligence officials, assumed would be President Hosni Mubarak's resignation speech. Instead, he repeated that he would not leave until September.
* I haven't seen a crowd that disappointed since "Ghostbusters 2."
And I leave you with this thought.
"There is no remedy for love but to love more."
