Celebrity Spotlight
The nominees for the 2011 CMT Music Awards were announced last Wednesday and Rascal Flatts earned three nods including Video and Group Video of the Year for the “Why Wait” video. The video, which was inspired by the movie The Hangover, turned out to be both funny and entertaining and Rascal Flatts’ Jay DeMarcus says that’s mostly thanks to the quick thinking of the video’s director Billy Zabka. We had another bit written in there, where we were actually gonna try to get a tiger in the room. And instead of doing that, he called at the last minute and said ‘I think it’d be funnier if we didn’t literally do a rip on The Hangover, and had somebody like Carrot Top in the room with Gary. And we loved that and it turned out to be so funny. Actually some of the funniest footage of that shoot isn’t in the video!" The video also featured actor David Arquette and Ron White. The 2011 CMT Music Awards are scheduled to air June 8th on CMT and at CMT.com.

Our Hometown Hero(’s) Today is/are Staff and Volunteers of the Girl Scouts Las Cruces
Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place. Girl Scouts of the USA was chartered by the U.S. Congress on March 16, 1950. Today, there are 3.2 million Girl Scouts—2.3 million girl members and 880,000 adult members working primarily as volunteers.
In Girl Scouts, girls discover the fun, friendship, and power of girls together. Through enriching experiences, such as extraordinary field trips, sports skill-building clinics, community service projects, cultural exchanges, and environmental stewardships, girls grow courageous and strong. Girl Scouting helps girls develop their full individual potential; relate to others with increasing understanding, skill, and respect; develop values to guide their actions and provide the foundation for sound decision-making; and contribute to the improvement of society through their abilities, leadership skills, and cooperation with others.
Staff and Volunteers of the Girl Scouts Las Cruces is/are our Hometown Hero Today and we salute you.
HEALTH MOMENT
The brains of children who have autism spectrum disorder are larger than those of other children, a difference that seems to arise before they are 2 years old, according to a new study.
In 2005, researchers from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill found that 2-year-old children with autism had brains up to 10 percent larger than other children of the same age. This new study reveals that the children with enlarged brains at age 2 continued to have enlarged brains at ages 4 and 5, but by no more than the amount at age 2.
Brain enlargement resulting from increased folding on the surface of the brain is most likely genetic in origin and a result of an increase in the proliferation of neurons in the developing brain.
"It is possible that brain overgrowth directly results in the development of autistic behavior, perhaps through a physical disruption of neural circuitry," the researchers wrote.
Their study appears in the May 2011 issue of Archives of General Psychiatry.
BREAK TIME CHATTER
#1.) In a new poll about America's favorite casino destinations, the number one choice is Vegas. Which is obvious. But the rest of the top five is less obvious. It goes: New Orleans, Atlantic City, Reno, then St. Louis.
#2.) For the first time in 20 years, TV ownership in the U.S. has dropped. BUT . . . it's dropped from "basically everyone has a TV" to "almost everyone." In 2009, 98.9% of American households had a TV. In 2010, that dropped to 96.7%.
#3.) A math genius in Russia solved a 100-year-old problem that came with a $1 MILLION prize. But it sounds like the title he's actually going for is 'most eccentric genius' . . . because he TURNED DOWN the money. He says that by solving the problem, quote, "I [now] know how to control the universe. So tell me, why do I need a million?" I don't know, maybe to get your head examined.
And I leave you with this thought…
"We must learn to reawaken and keep ourselves awake, not by mechanical aid, but by an infinite expectation of the dawn."
