Celebrity Spotlight
Country legend Kenny Rogers has released a new inspirational album, The Love of God, in stores this week. The record is a welcome departure for Kenny from his traditional pop-country sound, which has given the entertainer more than one-hundred and twenty hits and twenty-one number one singles. Kenny’s illustrious career has allowed him to wear many hats over the years as a songwriter, producer, photographer, and actor, in addition to his success as a singer. For Kenny, sticking to your guns and being true to yourself has proven to be the key to success. “Entertainers are all three people: we’re who we think we are, we’re who you think we are, and we’re who we really are. And the closer those three people are, the more likely your career’s gonna have a length of time to it. Careers that take a while to get started take a while to go down. It’s those that go straight up that you have to worry about.” Kenny’s album The Love of God is available at Cracker Barrel Country Stores nationwide.

This Is Nuts
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid sparked an Internet sensation yesterday with his attack on Republican plans to cut funding for the National Endowments for the Arts and Humanities. Reid called the GOP bill "mean-spirited" and warned that it would cut federal funding for the Nevada Cowboy Poetry Festival. He added darkly, "Had that program not been around, the tens of thousands of people who come there every year would not exist."
* I got news for you Senator, Cowboys aren't dependent on government handouts! It's not...the Cowboy Way.
HEALTH MOMENT
A good night's sleep is crucial to storing knowledge learned earlier in the day — that much was known. Now, a new study finds that getting shut-eye before you learn is important, too.
Volunteers who took a 100-minute nap before launching into an evening memorization task scored an average of 20 percentage points higher on the memory test compared with people who did the memorization without snoozing first.
"It really seems to be the first evidence that we're aware of that indicates a proactive benefit of sleep," study co-author Matthew Walker, a professor of psychology and neuroscience at the University of California, Berkeley, told LiveScience.
"It's not simply enough to sleep after learning," Walker said. "It turns out you also need to sleep before learning."
Earlier research has found that dreams boost learning, with one study suggesting a 90-minute nap may help lock in long-term memories. But Walker's research, published this week in the journal Current Biology, finds that another phase of sleep, called nonrapid eye movement (NREM) is most closely linked to the learning boost provided by a nap.
"Somewhere between infancy and early adulthood, we abandon the notion that sleep is useful," Walker said. That needs to change, he said: "Sleep is doing something very active for things like learning and memory. I think for us as a society to stop thinking of sleep as a luxury rather than a biological necessity is going to be wise."
BREAK TIME CHATTER
When Republicans won back the House, they ended Nancy Pelosi's $475,000-a-year green program that required the cafeteria to use compostable plates and utensils. The cafeteria is back to using the same cheap tableware it used before. But now, nine Democrats have signed a letter, accusing Republicans of trying to give them cancer by making them drink from Styrofoam cups. For the record, there is no FDA-recognized study proving that drinking from Styrofoam cups causes cancer.
* So the Democrats proposed giving the FDA a billion dollars to fund one.
And I leave you with this thought.
"Love, whether newly born, or aroused from a deathlike slumber, must always create sunshine, filling the heart so full of radiance, that it overflows upon the outward world."
