TODAY’S FUN LINKS:
Celebrity Spotlight
Naomi and Wynonna Judd are working together to build a bridge of love in their Sunday night documentary series on OWN. Despite their disagreements on the road, one thing Naomi and Wynonna can agree on is a love for the sweet sounds of traditional country music. Wynonna says she’s proud to keep it old school when it comes to picking the perfect songs for a big tour. “I don’t know about you, so much of music today—I get it—it bypasses the heart and goes for the libido—I get it. And yet when you hear a song like ‘Young Love’, it’s the sweetness of country music that I long to hear, and I’m really touched by. And it [laughs] reminds me of when we were much younger and sweeter! [Laughs]” The Judds have donated proceeds from V-I-P packages sold during their Last Encore tour to benefit St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis.

Our Hometown Hero(’s) Today is/are Elaine Benally
Listen with your hearts, instructs the soft-spoken Elaine, administrator for San Juan Colleges satellite campus in Kirtland, N.M. as her guests sit on camping chairs for an on-site, hands-on lesson on the Navajo people and the values they hold dear.
For almost two decades, Elaine has brought non-Navajo people onto the Navajo reservation to visit schools, trading posts, tribal offices, historic sites and other indigenous places to help them appreciate and better understand her unique and proud people. Larger than 10 of the United States 50 states, the Navajo Nation encompasses 27,000 square miles in Arizona, New Mexico and Utah, and is home to more than 250,000 American Indians, whose ancestors settled along the Colorado Plateau centuries before Christopher Columbus landed in America.
Elaine grew up on tribal land in Shiprock, N.M., born to Navajo parents who worked for the U.S. Indian Affairs bureau but did not speak Navajo in their home. She learned the native language and practiced tribal traditions during visits with nearby grandparents.
She is the epitome of a cultural bridger.
Elaine Benally is/are our Hometown Hero Today and we salute you.
HEALTH MOMENT
A warning to parents who like to plop their kids in front of the TV: A new study finds that children who spend too much time watching television are at an increased risk of developing a slew of health problems later in life.
The study, out of the University of Sydney in Australia, found that 6 to 7-year-olds who spent the most time in front of the TV had narrower arteries in the back of their eyes, which increases their chances of developing heart disease, high blood pressure and diabetes when they are older. Parents need to get their children up and moving and off the couch.
The first-of-its-kind study involved 1,500 children in 34 primary schools in Sydney.
On average, children spent almost two hours a day in front of a TV or computer screen and just 36 minutes in organized physical activity.
But those with the highest level of activity – more than an hour or so – had significantly wider retinal arteries than those who spent less than 30 minutes.
The damage appears to be caused by a combination of concentrating for too long on the screen and not getting enough exercise.
This suggests unhealthy lifestyle factors may influence microcirculation early in life and increase the risk of heart disease and high blood pressure later in life.
The study is reported this week in a journal of the American Heart Association.
BREAK TIME CHATTER
#1.) It's getting dangerously close to the end of gorging season and the beginning of bathing suit season . . . and we are NOT ready. According to a new survey, 60% of women and 46% of men say they feel like they're not ready to go out in public in a bathing suit. 20% of both sexes say they plan to avoid the beach entirely this summer because of that.
#2.) Your job is trying TO KILL YOU. According to a new study out of the University of Western Australia, if you have a desk job for more than a decade, your risk of developing bowel cancer goes up 94%. And no amount of exercise can negate that. The good news is that bowel cancer is pretty beatable . . . and this is just one study, so it's not necessarily definitive.
#3.) Your iPhone is WATCHING YOU. Some iPhone app developers have figured out that your iPhone keeps a log of EVERYWHERE you go. But before you panic, that log probably isn't transmitted back to Apple . . . you need it to track your phone if it gets lost or stolen . . . and if you're not cheating on your wife or serial killing, who really cares?
And I leave you with this thought…
If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours."
HE IS RISEN!!!!!
HAPPY EASTER
