Celebrity Spotlight
Keith Urban’s “Georgia Woods” is featured as iTunes’ free download of the week. Keith is known to often sing of Georgia and though he’s never actually lived there, he admits the southern state holds a special place in his heart. “I knew some people that lived in Atlanta, actually a friend of mine lives in Atlanta right now, a guy I used to be neighbors with. And I’ve just always loved the name Georgia. I think it’s just a beautiful name. And I’ve always loved ‘Georgia On My Mind’, you know? That was a great song. Something about that state’s name just has a nice ring to it. We’ve definitely name-checked it in a few songs.” Keith will take “Georgia Woods” and all his hits on the road this year with his Get Closer World Tour. The tour kicks off in his native Australia on April 8th with special guests Lady Antebellum, before coming back to the states on June 16th with special guest Jake Owen. Keith will also perform select dates in Canada with opening act The Band Perry.

This Is Nuts
In an interview with ABC Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi not only denied that he's ever used force against his own people, he also insisted that there are no demonstrations against him anywhere in Libya. He said, "My people love me. They would die for me."
* And he's giving the people what they want.
HEALTH MOMENT
The more advanced degrees a person has, the lower their blood pressure, according to a study published online Sunday.
An analysis of some 4,000 patient records from the 30-year Framingham Offspring Study found that women with 17 years or more of education — a master's degree or doctorate — had systolic blood pressure readings 3.26 millimeters of mercury lower than female high school drop-outs.
Men who went to graduate school had systolic blood pressure readings that were 2.26 millimeters of mercury (mmHg) lower than their counterparts who did not finish high school, the study, published online in the open access journal BMC Public Health, said.
Even after controlling for influences such as smoking, drinking, obesity and blood pressure medication, the benefits persisted, although at a lower level.
The study could help explain the widely documented association in developed countries between education and lower risk of heart disease.
Blood pressure is "one of the biological underpinnings of heart disease. The study focused on systolic blood pressure over diastolic blood pressure because "systolic hypertension is substantially more common than diastolic hypertension, and systolic blood pressure contributes more to the global disease burden attributable to hypertension than diastolic blood pressure."
BREAK TIME CHATTER
Saturday in Vittsjo, Sweden, two drunken men in their 20s were at a party around midnight when they got the idea to test a knifeproof vest one had recently bought. He put on the vest, and the other one stabbed him with a kitchen knife. The vest worked, so he tried it again. This time, he missed the vest entirely and stabbed his friend in an unguarded spot. He was treated at a hospital and will be fine.
* At least, he will be until he decides to find out if the vest is also bulletproof.
And I leave you with this thought.
"Light tomorrow with today."
