Celebrity Spotlight
Sara Evans keeps a healthy figure throughout the summer by staying active with her kids. She tells the Tennessean that she’s a “big jock” and recently her family has picked up on “Ultimate Frisbee”. That isn’t all Sara’s doing to stay healthy, though. She loves to play catch with her husband, former pro-football player Jay Barker. “I exercise every day. I just love it. Jay and I both do, we love to be active and um…One of my favorite workouts is Jay will throw pop-flies to me. He’ll throw me the hugest, highest, most terrifying pop-flies. Then, I’ll catch them and sling them back and we do that one right after another, and it’s the best workout!” Right now, Sara’s enjoying her time on Rascal Flatts’ Flatts Fest tour.

Our Hometown Hero(’s) Today is/are Clarence Hill
My parents are my heroes. At a time when most of the population was prejudice towards black people, one of my father's friends was a black man he worked with. My dad was a truck driver and his friend was a mechanic. I remember going to his house with my parents and seeing my school picture on his wall along with all of his children's photos. This wonderful man told a story of a friend coming to his house. On seeing all of the photos, and a very "white" little girl among them, the friend asked, "Who is this white girl?" Our friend responded, "She is my daughter." From that day on I learned from my parents and their friends that prejudice has no place in your heart.

HEALTH MOMENT
Telling heart patients to really push themselves during exercise sounds risky. But a growing body of research suggests that a workout routine athletes use to get in shape may do the same for some patients.
Some scientists and clinics are backing the use of high-intensity interval training, which involves short spurts of intense exercise at 85 to 95 percent of maximum heart rate alternating with periods of moderate exercise. Heart patients have traditionally built up fitness with steady sessions of aerobic exercise aimed at keeping the heart beating at about 70 percent of its maximum rate. That's meant to give the heart a workout without risking chest pain or a cardiac event.
Using intense exercise with patients suffering from heart failure and coronary artery disease, and those recovering from bypass surgery and heart attacks, is still controversial. Even proponents of the approach say more research is needed. But studies to date suggest that intense interval training improves the ability of the body in at least some patients to transport and use oxygen—which is generally associated with living longer—more effectively than a steady, moderate workout. The technique is also being studied in people with hypertension, diabetes and other conditions.
There's been a natural progression over time of what we've thought exercise for patients with cardiovascular disease should be. If you go back 50 years, people were told to hardly do any exercise for weeks after a heart attack. Gradually we learned that was wrong.
BREAK TIME CHATTER
#1.) Officials at JFK Airport were recently going through some abandoned luggage and found a hell of a score . . . a suitcase from the Dominican Republic with four pairs of shoes stuffed with FIVE POUNDS OF COCAINE. That's a value of around $107,000. They're now trying to track down the owner.
#2.) In a new study, Harlingen, Texas has been named the cheapest city in the U.S. Cheapest for cost of living, not home of the cheapest people, by the way. It's 18% cheaper than the U.S. average with house payments around $847 a month and 90-cent loaves of bread. In Manhattan, New York, the most expensive city in the U.S., house payments are five times higher and bread is 150% more.
#3.) According to a new study, RADIO makes people happier than TV or the Internet. YOU'RE WELCOME. In the study, people felt a 100% boost in happiness and a 300% boost in energy when they listened to the radio versus not consuming any type of media. TV and the Internet also made people happy . . . but only about HALF as much as radio. Dang straight.
And I leave you with this thought…
"To get the full value of joy you must have somebody to divide it with."
