Celebrity Spotlight
Last week, US Weekly reported that Taylor Swift and Country Strong star Garrett Hedlund had been on a dinner date in Nashville. It was also reported that Garrett was in town recording an album but his rep tells E! that he was in fact working on another project, not a record. Although Taylor’s love life is constantly in the media spotlight, the country star says she still maintains a comfortable sense of privacy. “I feel very much like I have a really quiet, wonderful life. Uh, I live in Nashville, you know. I don’t feel like I’ve been intruded upon with my privacy. I don’t like live in fear ever, I feel like I get to live a really normal life.” Taylor may not have too much time for dating as she stays busy preparing for the U.S. leg of her Speak Now World Tour, kicking off May 27th in Omaha, Nebraska.

Our Hometown Hero(’s) Today is/are Bill and Kim Reynolds
When Wes Orr, 67, was ordered to stay off his feet for eight weeks after double-knee surgery last year, his neighbors made him an offer that gives new meaning to the expression "my house is your house."
Bill and Kim Reynolds own a single-level house while Wes and his wife, Bobbi, live in a two-story home with no downstairs bathroom for bathing. Convalescing would be difficult for Wes in his own home, and the cost of building a wheelchair ramp to the front door was estimated at $5,000. One day, Bill, and Kim, walked across the street to offer a solution. "They needed to come here, and we needed to go over there," says Bill, whose wife attends a neighborhood Bible study led by Bobbi. "God definitely had a hand in this—to put them in a position to be willing to accept help and us in a position where we could make that offer." A wheelchair ramp built in the Reynolds' garage cost only $118, and the couples traded houses for what ended up to be 12 weeks during Wes' recovery.
"It's a good story about looking out for your fellow man," says Wes, now walking and sleeping in his own home. "That's what we're on this good earth to do."
Bill and Kim Reynolds is/are our Hometown Hero Today and we salute you.
HEALTH MOMENT
A new obesity treatment that combines two drugs has shown to result in double the weight loss for patients, and can be used as a long-term medication.
A study by Duke University Medical Center in Durham, N.C., showed that a combination of Phentermine and topiramate, sold under the brand name of Topamax was more effective in weight loss than the popular orlistat, sold under the name Alli.
Phentermine is already popular in the United States as a short-term weight loss drug. Topiramate is used for the treatment of seizure disorders and migraines, but has also shown effectiveness in weight loss for patients with type 2 diabetes.
In addition to weight loss, the drug improved indicators for blood pressure, sugar levels, and inflammation, according to the study, which was conducted over a 20-month period with 2,500 obese adults.
The study results were published in The Lancet.
BREAK TIME CHATTER
If you've got a court case coming up, you're probably hoping to get off easy . . . I mean, SOMEONE was bound to crash into that orphanage eventually, right?
--Well, here's a tip: In a new study out of Israel, researchers found that judges were TWICE as likely to give someone a break if their case was the first one after the LUNCH BREAK. So try to get your case scheduled for that slot.
--People with the first few cases in the morning also seemed to catch more breaks. But as the morning session got close to lunch . . . and the afternoon session got close to the end of the day . . . the judges got less and less lenient.
Maybe they should increase the frequency of their medication.
And I leave you with this thought.
"Love does not only transform our mental/emotional nature, it also involves the physical system of our body which goes through profound changes as well. "
