Personally, I liked Jewel when she had her snaggle tooth. I though it was sexy. She was co-hosting The View yesterday & I noticed her teeth were really straight. Here's a before & after pic. Don't know whether it's permanent or temporary? Wachoo think...?
I want to invite Dylan up to the radio station to hang out with us on the air. I hope he brings his trumpet & can play any song of his choosing so all of our listeners can hear how talented he is. I was so upset when I heard about this. This should have NEVER happened!

PAULDING COUNTY, Ga. -
A teen is upset after he found an insult printed under his yearbook picture. Under Dylan Worthen's band picture in the South Paulding High School yearbook, someone identified the freshman trumpet player as a "freak."
Worthen said he was surprised to see the picture.
"When I noticed it I was like, ‘Wow, who would do that,'" said Dylan Worthen.
"He's my son that I think the world of and he is no way any kind of freak. He has the biggest heart of any 16-year-old child I know," said Dylan's mother, Susan Powell.
The yearbook has a faculty advisor whose job is to proof the pages.
School officials said they don't know who is responsible for the word, or how it happened.
Dylan's other two yearbook appearances were listed under his name in the index, but the one in question was not, which leads his mother to believe it was an intentionally cruel prank that she calls "bullying."
"My son has to go to school and face all these kids that has saw this in the yearbook and I don't know what that's going to be like for him," said Susan Powell.
In a statement, the school district apologized to the family. They said that the matter is under investigation and they are working with the yearbook provider to remedy the situation.
"There's no way to fix this issue. It's in the book printed in ink," said Powell.
The insulted student said he'll take the high road.
"I'm just going to act like it never happened. If anyone says something to me, I'm going to ignore it," said Dylan.
School officials said there were more than 900 year books printed, and there is no easy solution. They are looking at the possibility of putting a sticker so people can place it over the picture. Dylan's mother said that is not an acceptable solution for her.
But is it the secret recipe? Cliff Kluge of Ringgold, Georgia, believes it is, and has already put it up for sale on eBay.
A self-described "treasure hunter," Kluge says he and his wife recently picked up a box of letters and papers at an estate sale, and inside was a recipe for Coca-Cola dated 1943.
"It's a letter, and a formula, and the processes to make it," he told 11Alive. "I think it's a little deeper than having fun; I think it's the recipe for Coca-Cola."
The recipe does seem to share many striking similarities with another alleged "secret recipe" posted online by This American Life two years ago.
And Coke is refusing to take a closer look at Kluge's find, releasing a vague statement saying the "real formula is safely tucked away in a vault at the World of Coca-Cola in Atlanta."
Coke's non-denial is enough for Kluge to try and make some bank on the possibility that he stumbled onto the Real Thing.
Interested parties with at least $5 million to spare can bid on the recipe through its auction page.
Those with $15 million can buy it right now.
Wait a minute...what's wrong with this picture? (pun intended). The prinipal got arrested and then suspended her student for posting it to instagram? Welcome to this century, lady. Maybe you should have thought about that before you decided not to show up for court! Stopping a student from getting an education is NOT the appropriate response to this, in my opinion. What do you think??
<:header class="mtn mbm">If you work at a high school as a teacher or principal and have a mug shot floating around somewhere online, it's probably safe to assume it will surface at some point. In keeping with basic rules of the internet, the proper reaction would then be to ignore its surfacing, instead of over-reacting and trying to squash it. Unfortunately for all involved, the principal at Riverdale High School in Clayton County Georgia did the exact opposite earlier this week and suspended a student who posted her mug shot to Instagram.
The ordeal went down last week, when high school senior Keandre Varner posted the picture to Instagram, writing in the caption that his principal, Jamille Miller-Brown, had been arrested for a DUI. This turned out to be incorrect. But instead of quietly correcting Varner or, better yet, ignoring the situation all together, Miller-Brown called the teenager into her office on Monday to confront him.
"And she was like, 'You said I got arrested for DUI.' And I was like, 'I think you got arrested for DUI,'" [Varner] said.
At that point, according to Varner, Miller-Brown tried to have a police officer arrest him, but the officer refused. Miller-Brown then suspended Varner for four days.
School administrators claim the suspension was the result of the disruption Varner caused, his “belligerent and disrespectful” attitude, and the fact that he allegedly uploaded the photo while at school.
“Regardless of how he uploaded the photo, he still accessed the site,” said spokesperson David Waller, adding that social media sites are supposed to be blocked on school computers.
…
“When a student becomes belligerent and disrespectful, we’re all human beings and our knee-jerk reaction is to throw a book at him,” Waller said
Eventually, Miller-Brown agreed to reduce the suspension from four days to two days – “After having time to think about her decision, she decided that two days would be sufficient,” Waller said – though not before allegedly threatening to suspend other students for merely having the photo on their phone.
As for Miller-Brown's crime: she was arrested for missing a court date for a speeding ticket, according to school officials.
Varner was allowed to return to school on Thursday, though, as he was quick to tell WSB-TV in Atlanta, not before missing valuable study time for final exams.
“I need to be in school,” Varner said.

The Heights High School senior class president was suspended from school and banned from graduation ceremonies after he posted a tweet that insinuated his school's athletics were nonexistent.
Wesley Teague, whose twitter bio reads, "Never met a babymama's mama who didnt like me, met a couple baby fathers though that wanna fight me!!" wrote:
"Heights U" is a nickname that students at his high school gave to their schools athletics. It implies their high school's athletics play at a university level and as you probably assumed, it's mainly popular with underclassman. Wichita State University dropped their football program after the 1986 season.
One responder to Teague's tweet said, "They about to be on yo head somethin viciously," to which Teague replied in typical hubristic graduating senior fashion: "I have 4 more days, they can be on my head lol."
The next response quoted Teague's tweet followed by a sarcastic "Ooh what a class president we have," was met with the reply: "I'm not class president anymore."
Using the most teenage-y of all defenses, Teague has said the response to his joke is "completely unfair." He told the Wichita Eagle that his tweet is "a 100 percent truthful tweet and it wasn’t meant to offend a single person or group of people. … I only meant that ‘Heights U’ doesn’t exist because it doesn’t. We’re not a university.”
Calling the tweet "very inappropriate" the assistant principal Monique Arndt says Teague was suspended because he “acted to incite a disturbance.”
A spokesperson of the Wichita schools, Susan Arensman, stated in an email: “There was a negative reaction from many students, including threats of fights in the school… It caused a major disruption to the school day. Other students were also suspended." Arensman did not note how many other students had been suspended.
The faculty had selected Teague to give a speech at the school's senior breakfast and convocation ceremony on Friday. Now, he can't attend the ceremony, though school officials say that he could participate in the commencement ceremony on Sunday.
Teague is part of the school's track team, and his mother stated that her son's “main goal was to increase school spirit. He went to soccer games, volleyball games. He’s been very supportive of the athletic teams… He tried out for basketball his sophomore year and didn’t make it, but he was on the front row cheering for those kids every game. … He’s been their Number One supporter.” Teague's number one supporters have created the hashtags #TeamWesley and #FreeWesley.
It seems that Teague, who has continued tweeting, has not been having a good week overall. He says he was just called out for reckless driving and his girlfriend broke up with him:
