| Kevin Pearce – Dream Interrupted |
| It's been a long road to recovery for snowboard champion Kevin Pearce. Not long ago, Pearce was considered to be one of the world's top snowboarders and was headed for the Vancouver Winter Olympics. Pearce was thought to be the only true rival of Shaun White and a contender for the gold. However, his Olympic dreams were crushed on December 31, 2009 when he sustained massive head injuries while training for the Olympics qualifier in Park City, Utah. |

| Michael Douglas' Real Life Fatal Attraction - Smoking |
| When will people realize that smoking…is…bad? Sure, it’s your life and your choice. I get it. And I understand it’s really hard to quit and that there is a massive, devious, marketing machine working against you, spending billions to keep you hooked on nicotine. It’s tough. But smokers need to start taking responsibility for their actions. Smoking is the single most preventable cause of death and disease in the world. It causes more deaths than cocaine, car accidents, AIDS, alcohol, heroin, fire, suicide and homicide combined. |

| Glenn Beck - Blind Leading the Blind? |
| What can you say about Glen Beck that hasn't already been said? Outspoken? Yes. Conservative? Sure. Controversial? Absolutely. Idiot? (I think so.) The loudmouthed political bobblehead for the Fox News Channel has to be one of the most polarizing figures in the world of TV quasi-news shows. |

| Beauty and the Cancer Beast |
| Patti Hansen, the supermodel wife of Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards, revealed in the August issue of Vogue magazine that she was diagnosed with bladder cancer in 2007. Hansen, 54, says her symptoms were mild at first. She had been lightly spotting for months - then one morning she urinated blood. A few days later doctors discovered a mass in her bladder. Within a month she was undergoing chemotherapy -which shrunk the tumor but didn't get rid of it completely. Three months after that, she underwent surgery, major surgery. |
