NEW HAVEN, Mo. - Early Thursday afternoon, Fidelity President John Colbert took time to contact QNN in regards to the April rate increase for Internet service as well as the advertised increase in Internet speeds.

Colbert responded in regards to the complaints we had received from customers about their Internet speed remaining the same and not increasing in speed, as it should have back in April. Colbert has promised to investigate this complaint and will provide additional information to QNN on Friday.

Tonight’s estimated $425 million dollar Powerball is the third largest jackpot ever and your odds of winning are a staggering 1 in 175 million, according to the Multi-State Lottery Association.

The odds don't really get a whole lot better for the lower prizes. You have a 1 in 5,153,632 chance to win $1 million and a 1 in 648,975 chance of winning $10,000.

The best odd are for the $4 prize: 1 in 110.81 of you get one ball and the Powerball correct, 1 in 55.41 for just getting the Powerball correct.

I am sure most of you can recall exactly what you were doing at the exact time you first heard about the terrorist attacks that occurred 13 years ago.

I was a senior in high school and was in study hall on that Tuesday September, 11 when my aunt Renee Laune, high school Librarian, turned on the TV.

It never once crossed my mind that my classmates and I would be standing at “Ground Zero” just six months later while on our Senior Trip.

Why are flags at half-staff today?  This is a question I am sure many of you have asked yourself.  Flags have been lowered to half-staff because today is National Peace Officer Memorial Day.  A day that we honor those who have died in efforts to protect the lives of others and a day that we say “thank you” to the men and women who continue risking their lives each and everyday.

In 2013, 100 federal, state, and local law enforcement officers paid the ultimate sacrifice, the fewest number killed in the line of duty since 1945(94). According to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund’s website.

--After the Lady Shamrocks defeated Neelyville 42-34, advancing to Columbia for the third straight year, as they began walking off the court they stopped, turned towards Shamrock fans and their other teammates, as the New Haven’s Cheerleaders led everyone in the singing of their school song.

We always ask the players “How does it feel to be going to state” but never think of asking the cheerleaders the same question.  They practice all season long with the same motto of representing New Haven’s “Tradition of Excellence”.

I spoke with two senior cheerleaders, Captain Madison Yarbrough, who will have been a cheerleader all four years and senior Megan Poe.
