Reba is well-known for her love of gadgets. She has an iPhone, iPod, Macbook and even an iPad, which she cannot live without. “The best thing about it and what I use my iPad for more than anything is reading. Cause you‘ll say, ‘Ok, I just read the greatest book, The Art of Racing in the Rain.’ ‘Who‘s it by?’ ‘Garth Stein.’ OK, I go, download it immediately. Love it.” While on the road with George Strait and Lee Ann Womack, Reba is also making her way up the country charts with her latest hit, “If I Were a Boy”.

Our Hometown Hero(’s) Today is/are Tiffany Grant
Tiffany Grant is the founder of Prom Wishes Inc., which provides prom dresses and tuxedos to teenagers who can’t afford them. “It’s an amazing feeling to see someone have so much fun and know that you helped make the moment special for them.” Says Tiffany.
Grant says. “I just got hooked from the very beginning. Nobody deserves to stay home from prom because they can’t afford to go.”
Prom Wishes does more than provide the dress, however. Teens also received jewelry, a matching purse, corsage and even a boutonniere for her date, plus a $25 gasoline card and gift certificates for a manicure and hairstyle. Individuals donate the dresses and tuxedos while local and area businesses contribute everything else.
Tiffany Grant is/are our Hometown Hero Today and we salute you.
This Is Nuts
Thursday, the Congressional Budget Office reported that President Obama's stimulus bill cost $821 billion, which is $34 billion more than projected, but it did save or create between 1.3 million and 3.5 million jobs. But that was at an average cost of at least $228,055 per job.
* They're going to get the economy back on track even if it bankrupts us.
HEALTH MOMENT
The latest cell phone innovation could leave patients able to diagnose themselves, The Boston Globe reported.
Scientists at Massachusetts General Hospital have developed a portable smartphone device with the ability to analyze tissue to determine if a tumor is cancerous. The results can be determined in as little as an hour and then are displayed on the screen of the phone.
In the research trial, the device was used on 50 people who had suspicious stomach tissue, and correctly diagnosed 48 of them.
Although the technology is still in very early stages, scientists have found its results to be promising. Other traditional biopsy methods take days to produce results.
The device is expected to cost just $200 to produce, which gives scientists hope that it could affect cancer care in developing countries.
BREAK TIME CHATTER
After two years of falling sales, Wal-Mart is giving up its
attempt to go more upscale. The discount chain tried to attract wealthier customers by making their aisles wider and their stores more attractive, and carrying organic foods and trendy designer clothes. It bombed. Wal-Mart executives now admit they screwed up and returning to the original philosophy of "everyday low prices," clogging the
aisles with wooden pallets full of bargains, dumping organic foods and replacing skinny jeans with sweat pants. One organic food supplier praised them for trying, but said, "Is the Wal-Mart customer ready to embrace a full set of organic products? The answer is no, not yet."
* Wal-Mart customers think they've gone organic if they drink orange soda instead of
Pepsi.
And I leave you with this thought.
"The life I touch for good or ill will touch another life, and that in turn another, until who knows where the trembling stops or in what far place my touch will be felt."
