Opening the 7th season for Huntsville's Dixie Derby Girls, 'Dismember the Alamo' will feature two regulation bouts- The Rocket City Rollers (Huntsville's B-team) vs. the Burn City Rollers (Auburn, AL) and DDG's Raging Rocket All-Stars against the Alamo City Rollergirls (San Antonio, TX). The season kick off will take place April 9th at the Von Braun Center's south hall.

The Rocket City Rollers will square off first against Burn City at 5pm, the first match-up between the teams. The RCR finished last season with a win against the Chattanooga Rollergirls in September, a team that recently took down the Burn City Rollers. This bout will mark the regular season skating debut for fresh meat graduates and new RCR teammembers Fluffy, Ta'naku Down, Dispatchher, Disgrace Kelley, Sawblade Sindy, and Marley Mayhem.

Defibrillator maker Medtronic says its new line of Protecta devices has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The devices incorporate "Smart Shock" technology that recognizes when irregular heartbeats are life-threatening and delivers therapeutic shocks "only when appropriate," Medtronic said in a news release.

On Saturday, April 2, 2011 beginning at 8:30 a.m., more than 400 Huntsville walkers will turn out at the Huntsville Botanical Gardens in an attempt to raise more than $60,000 for Multiple Sclerosis (MS) awareness.
