Celebrity Spotlight
Randy Travis is celebrating his 25-year career with the release of his Anniversary Celebration duets CD today. One of his fondest memories in years of performing on stage was when he first played “Forever and Ever Amen” for a crowd in Kentucky before it was even released as a single. “We finished that song and they didn’t sit down, wouldn’t stop applauding and so we, ok we’ll do it a second time. After a second time through same thing, wouldn’t quit. We played it three times back to back. I remember just as goofy as it sounds thinking, ‘I think this one’s gonna work,’ (laughs). Stuff like that, those are great memories, they really are.” Joining Randy on his new project are Kristin Chenoweth, Carrie Underwood, Brad Paisley, Don Henley, Alan Jackson, Tim McGraw, Willie Nelson, Zac Brown Band, George Jones and others. The album includes new songs in addition to re-makes of some of Randy’s biggest hits.

Our Hometown Hero(’s) Today is/are Bill Kjer
My hero is Bill Kjer. I wear a necklace in his memory every day. He made a difference in my life, my past coworkers and the community. He always had a smile on his face, a positive attitude, and the greatest smile. He would ride around in his golf cart always with the greatest big smile on his face and wave to everybody he met. He was the type of person you just wanted to be around. He was my friend, my hero who made an impact in my life.

HEALTH MOMENT
Migraine headache sufferers who learn to recognize their own particular early-warning signs might be able to head off the pain before it starts. A migraine is among the most debilitating conditions in medicine -- a blinding, throbbing pain that typically lasts between four and 72 hours. There is no cure.
However, a few hours or days before the dreaded headache sets in, subtle symptoms emerge.
Some people feel unusually fatigued, cranky or anxious. Some have yawning jags. Others have food cravings or excessive thirst.
"The holy grail of migraine treatment would be to have something you could take tonight to ward off an attack tomorrow," according to neurologist Peter Goadsby, director of the headache program at the University of California-San Francisco. At a conference of the American Headache Society last week, he and other experts said that early symptoms might hold clues to what causes migraines in the first place.
Nationwide, about 36 million Americans suffer from migraines. Although some people use the word very loosely, migraines are far more severe than a typical headache, last longer and tend to involve nausea, vomiting and sensitivity to light. Women are three times as likely as men to get migraines, which have been diagnosed in children as young as six months.
Migraines cost the U.S. more than $20 billion a year in lost wages, disability payments and health care bills, according to the American Headache Society, an organization of health care professionals who specialize in headaches.
BREAK TIME CHATTER
#1.) Over the weekend, the women's soccer team from Iran had to forfeit two matches and basically lose their shot at the 2012 Olympics . . . because they wanted to play in head scarves. Those are banned in international soccer play because they're a choking hazard, but Iran had its women show up in them anyway.
#2.) In San Diego, a man wanted to bomb a federal courthouse . . . but convinced his girlfriend to buy the materials and actually plant the bombs. Then, he tried to turn her in to the FBI for a reward. But they figured out he was behind the bombing. He's been convicted . . . and is now looking at up to 30 years in prison.
#3.) Get ready to see a lot more people in wheelchairs with TONGUE RINGS. And no, it's not because quadriplegics are getting skankier. Researchers are testing a new system that actually lets paralyzed people steer their wheelchairs using a special magnetic tongue stud. Apparently this technology works great . . . but there's no word when it could get out of the testing phase. Frankly, I just don’t know what to say about that!!!
And I leave you with this thought…
"Intuition does not always appear as the ingenious breakthrough or something grandiose. Intuitive thoughts, feelings, and solutions often manifest themselves as good old common sense. Common sense is efficient."
