Einstein the Parrot Celebrates Her 3th Birthday By Doing a Lot of Startlingly Good Impressions Einstein the African grey parrot just turned 30 years old – and she has about five minutes of killer comedic material to show for it. The Knoxville Zoo of Tennessee posted a video of their feathered impressionist earlier this week as a means of celebrating her birthday. Too cute!

Dolly Parton Donates 1 Millionth Book To Children 100 Millionth Book Imagination Library sends free books to children from birth until their first day of school, regardless of their parents' income. The program, which originally distributed books to kids living in Dolly's hometown in Tennessee, now sends them to children around the globe. Dolly says she started the program to honor her father, Lee Parton, who never learned to read or write himself, but was "the smartest person I've ever known." Her father did live long enough to see the program grow beyond the boundaries of their hometown. "He was prouder of that than anything," Dolly said.

Shawnee football players help out community affected by ice storm Players and coaches helped fill a trailer with tree limbs that were weighed down by ice left behind by the storms. The help is part of a community service project to rid tree branches across Shawnee. The project makes good on the football team's promise to help those in the community who can't do it themselves. "It feels good to me because I'm helping out the elderly people and the people that's served us and the people that can't do these things," Terrance Shaw said. California native Joy Pruitt said last week's frigid weather caught her off guard. "I thought, maybe, I should but I can go and pick them up one at a time," Pruitt said. "But this is so much nicer to get it all done and taken away." It's gratitude that even the toughest of athletes can feel. "I'm very happy we could help this lady out," Jayce Arnett said. "I thought it'd be a great thing to do as a team and a great thing to do to help people out. The team said it tackled six of the 42 homes that are on a list. Players and coaches will work all week until the work has been completed.

When I was in the 5th Grade I broke my arm in 3 places playing tackle football. The kicker was I was wearing my Girl Scout uniform(yes little green dress:wideyed:complete with sash which I used as a sling, never dawned on me that I broke it because I'd never had broken anything. I called my mom & told her I was sick to my stomach when she arrived I told her my stomach hurt but my arm was killing me. She took one look at my arm & declared it broke then took me to the hospital as usual she was right. The school 'outlawed' playing tackle football from that day forward.

Thanks GOREDEVILS for your coverage of the 16th Region Tournament!

'Superhero' 4-year-old to donate bone marrow to save his brothers The City of Brotherly Love is living up to its name thanks to one of its young residents. Michael DeMasi Jr., 4, of South Philadelphia, plans to donate bone marrow on March 8 in an effort to save his twin baby brothers who suffer from a rare hereditary immune disease called Chronic Granulomatous Disease (CGD). “I want to help them,” he told Philly.com. “I’m not scared.” Not even by what Michael Jr. calls “a big, giant needle” doctors at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia will stick into his back to extract bone marrow that will be transplanted into his 4-month-old twin brothers Santino and Giovanni.

Just before the Stanford men’s basketball team played Oregon a few weeks ago, the players were given a pep talk by the day’s honorary captain. “I’ve fought for the last year. Now you need to fight in your season!’’ he told them. “I want you to beat the quack out of the Ducks!” They did just that, by 35 points, Stanford’s most lopsided Pac-12 win in 16 years. The inspirational and effective speech was delivered by 11-year-old Ty Whisler of Tahoe City (Placer County ), who has been battling brain cancer for nearly a year and a half. He was back on the Stanford bench Thursday night and again the Cardinal won big, beat ing Washington 94-78. “He’ll have to bomb a plane ticket when we go to Arizona” next week, forward Reid Travis said. On Sept. 4, 2016, three days after being diagnosed, Ty had part of a pingpong-ball-size tumor removed in an operation at UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital in Oakland. Doctors couldn’t get all of it because it was wrapped around his brain stem. A biopsy revealed that the tumor was malignant. At Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital at Stanford, he underwent six weeks of radiation and then seven months of chemotherapy, missing all of fourth grade. During that time, Tom Orlich, assistant to head coach Jerod Haase, contacted the hospital to see if any patient wanted to hang with the players. A social worker said the staff had just the kid, a sports nut who was going through a very painful treatment. In January 2017, Stanford players Dorian Pickens, Robert Cartwright and Christian Sanders visited Ty for the first time at the hospital. “It was literally love at first sight,” said his mother, Jill, a dietitian at a Tahoe hospital. Center Grant Verhoeven, who graduated in June, took him miniature golfing. Michael Humphrey and Pickens played catch with him at Stanford’s Quad. Sanders, who now works on Wall Street as a financial adviser, still stays in touch with him. “These players and coaches took him in as if he was their own child or their own brother,” Jill said. “It helped so much with his healing process. As a parent, you can never say thank you enough.” She said the players even adopted Ty’s brother Nathan, 15, and sister Sydney, 3, “realizing they’re having a hard time leaving their little brother to this disease.” Ty attended practices, took part in pregame meals and dribbled with the players in pregame warm-ups. Besides giving the pep talk at the Oregon game, he sat on the bench during the game and joined the players in huddles during timeouts. They dubbed him their good-luck charm. “Our guys have taken a genuine interest in him, and Ty’s taken a genuine interest in our team, so it’s been fun,” Haase said. “Hopefully, we’re a good-luck charm to him as well.” As young Ty sees it, yes, they have. Their support “has been huge,” he said. “They’ve helped me not think about all the medical stuff. It takes away some pain.” The players marvel at his outgoing personality, undiminished by his ordeal. “His charisma, his energy, his toughness, his overall happiness regarding life is great,” Pickens said. “As much as we make him happy, he makes us even happier.” Ty was 9 when he was diagnosed with what’s known as medulloblastoma. According to the St. Jude Children’s Hospital website, the tumor starts in the base of the skull and tends to spread quickly to other parts of the brain and the spinal cord. From 250 to 500 children are diagnosed with it each year in the U.S., according to the website, which said the survival rate is 70 to 80 percent if the disease has not spread. The Stanford doctors have him in a clinical trial with the St. Jude Research Center. He has his spinal fluid checked every three months. “The chance of it recurring and spreading are (greatest) in the first two years,” Jill Whisler said. “After two years, they’ll potentially let us make it every six months, if it doesn’t spread.” If the youngster hadn’t gotten accidentally kicked in the head as the goalkeeper in a soccer game following the first day of school in 2016, the tumor probably wouldn’t have been detected until it was too late. He was immediately groggy, according to his father, Alan, a firefighter. “He kicked the ball back into our goal,” he said. “He wasn’t sure which way to go.” His head was extremely sensitive, Jill said. “For the grace of God, he went into concussion-like symptoms,” his mother said. “The doctor in Oakland said he had been growing this tumor for about six months. It’s a very aggressive tumor. The doctor said that in two weeks it would have caused stroke-like symptoms. We would have never caught it. We got lucky — very, very lucky.” But he’s not home free. “St. Jude said if it comes back, there’s no other treatment we can do,” she said. “It would be a quality-of-life issue at that point. Does he want to live the rest of his life in a hospital, or do we just let him live it out?” Just before the Oregon game, Haase and some of the players were reviewing game tapes when the youngster rushed into the room to tell them that, for the first time, the tumor was shrinking. “They started clapping,” Ty said. “They were really happy. Coach Haase almost started crying.” A brave 11-year-old inspires Stanford’s basketball players

Abandoned baby finds new home after visit to hospital TALLAHASSEE, FL - His newborn legs were bare and cold to the touch. That chilly May 6 morning, his short-sleeve onesie was wet, his diaper was soiled, his white bib was stained. Curled up in the bed of a Nissan pick-up truck, he was without a hat, a blanket or a name. He was less than a week old. And he was all alone. No one knows when the baby was stowed in the truck bed or how long he was lying there. It would be a college student who, drawn by the sound of hushed cries, discovered him while walking through the parking lot of the Meridian Apartments on High Road. Rattled, the 22-year-old called the police. It was 8:26 a.m. Within minutes, an officer arrived, followed by paramedics. As events unfolded, helpful strangers found themselves at the right place, at the right time to help an abandoned baby out of place in a cold world. And just a week later, as if by divine design, that baby had a name, a home and a grateful mother who longed to nurture a newborn as her own. His name is Caleb, but his mom and dad call him Charlie.

I'm reading daily scripture during Lent from the Gospel of Mark then after I pray a prayer of thanks.

She gave him a kidney. They renewed their vows atop the Empire State Building. The people wanting to donate a kidney to Epps, including his younger brother and his former wrestling coach, Cirigliano wound up being the perfect match. About 5,000 of the more than 93,000 people waiting for a kidney transplant in the United States will die annually, according to the Living Kidney Donor Network. Survival rates are significantly greater for transplants from living donors than cadavers, and a middle-aged man on dialysis generally does not live longer than eight years. “He’s asking for her hand (in marriage). She’s giving him her kidney,” Epps' father, Kurt, of Perth Amboy, said days before the couple were engaged. “For him to find his love match is one thing. For him to find the person that helps save his life is another," Kurt Epps said. "Through this (transplant) they are bound forever. It’s more than just spiritual." “It’s mind-boggling in a way," Brett Epps' father said. "It’s kind of like the perfect love story.”

Good message!

I loved "Northern Exposure" by David Schwartz. The bongos not something you would associate with cold just as quirky as the show but it always made me smile when I heard it.
