Martina McBride is busy putting the finishing touches on her next album and promoting her latest single, “Teenage Daughters”. But, in the middle of a busy schedule, Martina still finds time to relax with her own daughters over dinner and lately, watching TV on DVD. “For instance, right now we are into Frasier. Which I liked it when it was on TV but with our schedule it’s not like we can consistently sit down every week and watch the same show cause sometimes we’re traveling or whatever. So, we always wait ‘til they come out on DVD and buy them and sit down and have a marathon, especially on the bus. It passes the time and it’s funny.” Martina’s new album is set for release in late August.

HEALTH MOMENT
People in the early stages of dementia may not be able to tell the truth from lies and sarcasm from sincerity, a new study finds.
The findings could help doctors diagnose dementia, such as Alzheimer's, earlier, study researchers said.
If somebody has strange behavior and they stop understanding things like sarcasm and lies, they should see a specialist who can make sure this is not the start of one of these diseases.
Researchers asked about 175 people, more than half of whom had dementia, to watch videos of people talking. The videotaped people would sometimes drop in a lie or use sarcasm, which they signaled with body language and verbal cues. After watching the videos, the participants answered yes and no questions about what they'd seen.
Healthy older participants did fine at distinguishing the truth from lies. But older adults with dementia affecting their frontal lobes — the seat of judgment and self-control in the brain — had a hard time telling the difference between sarcasm, lies and truth. People with frontotemporal dementia, which strikes the frontal lobes, had a particularly hard time, while those with Alzheimer's disease did somewhat better.
Using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), the researchers found that the inability to detect sarcasm and lies matched up with the amount of damage in the parts of the frontal lobe responsible for that judgment. Sudden gullibility should be recognized as another warning sign of dementia.
BREAK TIME CHATTER
#1.) The White House released PRESIDENT OBAMA'S tax return yesterday. And he's lucky he hasn't gotten those BUSH tax cuts overturned yet. The president and MICHELLE made $1.73 MILLION last year, most of which comes from the president's book royalties. They're looking at a $12,334 refund
#2.) Good news . . . if you're drowning in debt, the collection agency can't harass your FACEBOOK FRIENDS to get you to pay up. Yeah, they've actually been doing that. But a judge in Florida has ruled that it's illegal, based on the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act from 1978 . . . even though the Act doesn't specifically ban harassing someone's social media friends.
#3.) Your suspicions are right: No one knows the difference between good wine and the jug wine you've been serving. In a new study, only 53% of people could tell the difference between a good white and a bad white . . . and only 47% could tell the difference between a good red and a bad red. Meaning: If you serve cheap wine, there's about a 50-50 shot no one will know the difference.
#4.) This is unbelievable . . . but it looks like ANOTHER kid has been accidentally served alcohol at a chain restaurant. First it was a kid getting a margarita at Applebee's. Then it was sangria at Olive Garden. And now, a four-year-old girl in Chicago was served a KAHLUA MUDSLIDE instead of a milkshake at Chili's. She was taken to the hospital and threw up, but she's OK.
And I leave you with this thought...
"Happiness resides not in possessions and not in gold, the feeling of happiness dwells in the soul."
