An assistant high school football coach in Franklin, TN wrote the following song, then sent an email with a link to it to a bunch of people from his personal email account. 90 minutes later, his coach called and said he was fired because some of the emails went to parents of some of the team members, and they complained. Do you think he should have lost his job?

From Dr. Gabe Mirkin - Safety and Water Bottles www.drmirkin.com
In answer to a listener email:
Avoid 1 and 7 - 2,4,5 safe
"A study from Peninsula Medical School in Exeter, U.K. shows that high levels of urinary Bisphenol-A (BPA), a chemical compound commonly used in plastic packaging for food and beverages, is associated with heart attacks, strokes, diabetes and abnormal liver tests (JAMA, Sept 17, 2008). BPA can break down to form female hormones called estrogens that are linked to breast and uterine cancer in women, decreased testosterone levels in men, and may also cause birth defects.
You are exposed to BPA, primarily through food, drinking water, tooth sealants that you may receive in a dentist's office, and exposure through your skin and lungs from household dusts. Ninety percent of Americans have detectable levels of BPA in their urines.
Although the safety of BPA is still uncertain, you would be prudent to limit your exposure. The primary concerns are plastic water bottles and baby bottles. Each bottle is supposed to have a number in a circle stamped on the bottom.
Try to avoid the following numbers:
#1 Most single-use water bottles are made from polyethylene terephthalate (PET or PETE).
#7 This is used for many colorful hard plastic lexan bottles made with polycarbonate plastics.
At a minimum, do not re-use bottles or containers with these numbers. Do not freeze or reheat foods or beverages in them.
Plastic products that bear the following numbers appear to be safe:
#2 HDPE, high-density polyethylene, the most widely recyced plastic,
#4 LDPE, low-density polyethylene) and
#5 PP, polypropylene."

As the Tea Party Movement turns (unofficially) one year old, there is no one official national site for it. (Blair County's Tea Party has this site: blaircountyteaparty.org ) But have you heard about the movement to infiltrate Tea Parties? It may not be the one or officlal site, but see what they believe here: crashtheteaparty.org
For a report on some of the Infiltration Movement's activies and how effective (or not) they may be, read this page from a political blog called Left Coast Rebel by clicking HERE
Then again, there's this group: The Revolutionary Anti-Imperialist Movement
I'm just guessing this may not be the most subtle way to do it:

That quote I mentioned recently when Barry Wright was guest co-host:
"Too many people are spending money they haven't earned, to buy things they don't need, to impress people they don't like."
Sound like someone commenting on Current Events? Well, he was at the time.
It was said by Will Rogers..
who shuffled off this mortal coil in 1935.
One of the cooler things I've been able to do since coming to WRTA is interview Altoona's own
Mike Reid. Many followed his Penn State or NFL career; since the early 1980's, I've been following his songwriting and performing career (even before he'd won a Grammy award). I'd met briefly him several times before in Nashville, at University Park and when he was inducted into the Blair County Arts Hall of Fame. When he came home in the Spring of 2008 to do a benefit concert at the Mishler Theatre for Contact Altoona, he was able to stop by the Radio Campus for The 11th Hour.
And, no, I have no earthly idea of what was so funny at the time.
