Celebrity Spotlight
Jake Owen’s new video for “Barefoot Blue Jean Night” premieres today on CMT and CMT.com and this time around Jake is giving fans a true taste of summertime in his world. The singer reveals the video is a little reminiscent of Alan Jackson’s classic “Chattahoochee” with the fun spirit of buddy Luke Bryan’s “Country Girl (Shake It For Me)”—minus the dancing country girls. “You know, it would have been nice to have some country girls shaking it in my video…but I’ll let Luke have ‘em for this one! It’s just real—it’s literally me out on my boat—and it’s my truck pulling my boat and putting it in the water. And all my friends that are in the video are literally my friends. It just brings the song back to where my roots are.” “Barefoot Blue Jean Night” is the title-track to Jake’s third studio album, due in stores August 30th.

HEALTH MOMENT
A chemical compound that is used on heart patients may raise chances of survival for snakebite victims, Australian scientists said on Monday.
In a paper published in Nature Medicine, the researchers said the chemical nitric oxide can slow down by as much as 50 percent the time it takes for snake venom to enter the bloodstream.
With that extra time, victims can seek medical help, said lead author Dirk van Helden, professor at the School of Biomedical Sciences, University of Newcastle in Australia.
"When you are bitten by a snake, the toxins are large molecules and they get injected into tissues. They can't break into blood vessels because they are too big. So they get taken up by the lymphatic system and it takes them into the blood vessels," Helden said in a telephone interview.
"The idea is to close off the lymph flow ... and we tried it and it markedly slowed lymph flow in rats and also in humans."
Each year, snakebite accounts for an estimated 100,000 deaths and 400,000 amputations worldwide, mostly in South Asia, southeast Asia and sub-Saharan Africa because antivenom is not readily available.
Australia is home to some of the world's most venomous snakes.
BREAK TIME CHATTER
#1.) According to the numbers from last year, Americans drink more soda than any other beverage. We drank 44.7 gallons of soda per person last year, or about 1.3 twelve-ounce cans every day. Bottled water came in second place, then beer, milk, coffee, and fruit juice.
#2.) Right now, about 7.4% of Americans over 75 are still in the workforce. And not just at Walmarts. That number is up from 5.5% in 2000, with more and more people staying at their jobs and not wanting to retire. And it's not because of the recession . . . experts say people like staying at their jobs because it makes them feel social, connected, and young.
#3.) No matter how picky you THINK you are, you don't even come CLOSE to this guy. A man in Rochester, New York held out from getting married his entire life until he finally found the right woman . . . at age 99. They were married in their nursing home . . . and it probably wouldn't have happened, but she proposed to HIM. She's 86 and this is her second marriage.
And I leave you with this thought…
True luck consists not in holding the best cards at the table: Luckiest is he who knows just when to rise and go home.
