  When Houston Texans' Kicker Kris Brown kicks a field goal, the crowd goes wild! And it's not just Texans fans cheering Kris on, but patients and supporters of Texas Children's Hospital, too. That's because every time Kris scores a point, Houston area corporate partners, along with Kris and Amy Brown, are donating $250 to Kris Brown's Kick Club. Since our inception in 2003, the Kick Club has raised nearly $500,000 for children at Texas Children's Hospital.

• A recent Consumer Reports test found the bulbs have come along way in the last ten years. The color and intensity of the bulbs are now very close to standard incandescent bulbs. The price has gone down from around $20 a bulb down to about $3. Make sure you get bulbs that are Energy Star qualified. And remember, use the bulbs in fixtures that will stay on for at least 15 minutes or you will reduce the energy saving benefits and shorten the life of the bulbs.
