Celebrity Spotlight
Justin Moore is a tough guy who’s not afraid to admit he’s not quite tough enough to brave a good snowstorm. After surviving an unusually cold winter, the “Backwoods” singer is looking forward to being out on the road this spring with Miranda Lambert’s The Revolution Continues Tour, and the warmer climates the group will enjoy. Though the Arkansas-native would never pass on his dream to call Nashville home, Justin says he would pass on Music City’s unusually frigid winters. (Audio) “It actually—it’s been crazy. I mean it really has been. I’m a sissy though. I just hate cold weather. You know, I’m not built for it. I’m pretty much just bones [pause] …and a little bit of skin. I don’t have anything to keep me warm.” Justin’s latest single “If Heaven Wasn’t So Far Away” is currently climbing the country charts. A special behind-the-scenes video of the Justin in the studio recording the song can be seen at CMT.com.
RIDDLE ME THIS
Which is heavier, a pound of feathers or a pound of gold?
She will wake up.
A pound of feathers. Some would say a pound is a pound, but the fact is: Gold is a precious metal and is therefore weighed in the Troy system of measurement. This means that a pound of gold weighs only 12 oz and a pound of feathers weighs 16 oz.

Our Hometown Hero(’s) Today is/are Army Sgt. 1st Class Lance H. Vogeler
SFC Vogeler was assigned to 1st Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment and was killed in action Oct.1, 2010 in Afghanistan, of wounds sustained when insurgents attacked his unit with indirect fire.
Sgt. 1st Class Vogeler died during his ninth combat deployment in the last nine years. He was serving his eighth deployment in Afghanistan, and had been wounded on one of his four deployments in Iraq.
"He was shot a few years ago in his legs and they brought him home and they rehabilitated him and all he talked about was 'I want to go back with my troops,'" said his next-door-neighbor from his childhood days, Sandra Ashcroft.
Why did he feel that way? "He loved America," Ashcroft responded.
"Since December 2001, Lance has either been in combat or training for combat. This was his 12th combat deployment. Lance was the quintessential Ranger; he is a hero to our Nation, the Army, and his family.
Army Sgt. 1st Class Lance H. Vogeler is/are our Hometown Hero Today and we salute you.
This Is Nuts
A University of Arizona researcher has found the filthiest spot in your local supermarket. It's the shopping carts. They tested carts at stores in four states. Half had E. coli bacteria, and a whopping 72 percent of carts had a positive marker for fecal contamination, either from users who don't wash their hands or from letting toddlers ride in them. They say they actually found more fecal bacteria on shopping cart handles than are typically found in the bathrooms because the bathrooms are disinfected more often than the carts are.
* On the bright side, the fecal bacteria were so strong, they killed the E. coli.
HEALTH MOMENT
That bottle of ibuprofen in your medicine cabinet is more powerful than you may think.
A new study by Harvard Medical School researchers suggests that the pain reliever may offer protection against developing Parkinson’s disease by targeting a certain receptor in the brain.
The analyzed data from more than 127,000 people who reported their use of ibuprofen and other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs over a six year period – and what they found was the participants who took ibuprofen on a regular basis had a 38 percent lower risk of developing the brain disorder.
Dr. Hubert Fernandez, a neurologist from the Cleveland Clinic, weighed in on the study.
“It's a promising drug, it's a well tolerated medication if used with caution and used correctly,” he said. “So, we might shoot two birds with one stone.”
The findings are published in the journal of the American Academy of Neurology.
BREAK TIME CHATTER
Brian Michael Bailey of Hedgesville, Maryland, was arrested on a charge of making and setting off explosive devices at his home. But he insists he's not a terrorist. He told state troopers that he had been making "cat bombs." He combined aluminum foil and toilet bowl cleaner in empty plastic bottles and would throw them into his yard, where they would explode and frighten away cats that were using the bathroom there.
* On the minus side, cats that weren't using the bathroom suddenly did...
And I leave you with this thought.
"What blinds us, or what makes historical progress very difficult, is our lack of awareness of our ignorance."
