What's Your Favorite Wedding-Related Reality Show?
What's Your Favorite Wedding-Related Reality Show?
Like us on Facebook
Yesterday's post about the return of The Newlywed Game got me thinking about all the other wedding-related TV shows on the air today. Some are sweet — I've admitted publicly to crying every time I see A Wedding Story — while others expose the more unsavory sides of wedding planning. Which wedding-related reality show never fails to suck you in?

Jillerin, I love Engaged and Under aged too! I remember the one girl who took money from her fiance/husband to get a better engagement ring, that just cracked me up. A good marriage was starting with those two :P I picked Bridezillas, I can't ever imagine being half as ridiculous as those women!

Drew University president Robert Weisbuch announced today that he will step down June 30 after seven years as head of the liberal arts college in Madison.
The university's Board of Trustees said former economics professor Vivian Bull, president emerita of Linfield College in Oregon, will serve as president until a permanent successor is found.
In a letter to the university community today, Weisbuch affirmed his belief that the school is "poised to become a model of real-world liberal education."
"Drew's original purpose, to employ learning in service to humanity, has been renewed and redefined," he wrote. "I will leave Drew with a strong sense of fulfillment that together we have achieved major improvements in terms of student diversity, faculty scholarship ... and student engagement."

Hi! I´m having a little problem with my wordpress theme. I want to use query_posts on my theme, but when I add query_posts before the loop, than the page gets all white and everuthing on the page disappears. Everything else works just fine on the theme before i add the query_posts.
How do i solve this problem ?
Here is my code :
Nobody ?
Try having the 'if have posts' first then 'query posts' then 'while have posts' and be careful with how you end your loop.
So you'll have:
hope that makes sense
Try having the 'if have posts' first then 'query posts' then 'while have posts' and be careful with how you end your loop.
So you'll have:
hope that makes sense
Still not working….
When you use query_posts it affects the loops that come after it. You need to preserve the original loop if you still want to use it. Look up info about rewind_posts(), that should help…
Still not working, i will pay the one who helps me solve the problem.
Oh, I read that wrong. I thought you meant the query_posts was working but ruining the rest of the page.
Here is the exact snippet from my template that shows how I do it. I don't have time to troubleshoot your code, but if you compare it to this you should be able to find the problem:
(it looks like you dont both need IF have post and WHILE have posts)
The end of your code looks unusual:
<? endelse <?php endif ; ?>
First, you don't have a closing php code after "endelse".
Second, i have issues with php code if i use "<?" instead of "<?php". Try using "<?php" before the endelse.
I charge $1000.00 per incident!
It´s not working. Is there anybode that can help me ? That can take a look in my files ? I will pay 10 $.
Anyone ? I will pay.

Jeter has 'no doubt' that he'll return to Yankees
At 38, he had no such luck. Jeter played for much of last September with a bad bone bruise. It finally gave out against the Detroit Tigers when he lunged for a groundball Oct. 13. A week later he had surgery, and a Christmas party at Yankee Stadium for his Turn 2 Foundation, he vowed to be on the field for the April 1 opener.
But Jeter was slowed by stiffness and soreness during spring training and only played five big league games, three at shortstop. When the pain persisted into April, he went for a new CT scan in Charlotte, N.C., and that test revealed the break.
"When I got it, it wasn't good news," Jeter said. "I thought I would go up there, when I went to see the doc, I thought he would say it was something different. Tape it up. Let's go. But it wasn't the case. It didn't feel too good for quite some time. I'm laughing and smiling and happy that I'm up here. But I'm still upset that I can't play."
For now he will be limited to playing cheerleader and working out until he is given the OK to start his on-field rehabilitation again. Jeter walked without a limp into and out of the news conference, and he wasn't wearing the protective boot he says he has to wear, even though he doesn't think it's necessary.
He'll spend at least the 10-game homestand in New York.
"It's tough to not be around the team," Jeter said.

This became her goal in life, but Aliens, Time Travelers and ESPers (A.K.A. Psychics) are her main targets. Later in Haruhi's high school years, her interests in humans later became a blank space and her epic search became stronger (which was most likely a result from some very short relationships). When no one was even approaching her, one student was able to have a friendship with her and helped her out one day when she was unable to find a school club that interests her. Kyon gave Haruhi the idea of forming her own school club, which was a result of him and three others being dragged into an empty room, which is now The SOS Brigade's club room to strengthen her search for the paranormal.

Passengers on luxury trains — Palace on Wheels and Royal Rajasthan on Wheels — can now watch their favourite TV programmes while onboard.
Dish TV, the leading direct-to-home (DTH) service provider in the country, on Tuesday, announced introduction of Live TV entertainment on these trains. Other trains could also get the service in the near future.
This is the first instance of streaming TV launched in a train in the country. Dish TV already provides its service in Kingfisher Airlines and has clientele among yachts and sports-utility vehicle users.
The company has already completed its trial run, which was limited only to the bar lounge of both trains.
Beginning August, when the next season commences for Palace on Wheels, Dish TV plans to install its sets in each bogey. "We are also in talks with the Railway ministry to implement live TV entertainment in Shatabdi and Rajdhani Express.
For Shatabdis, we are looking at a personal TV set for each passenger like we have in aircrafts," said Samir Juneja, project head- Mobile DTH.
Speaking about the technology to be used in running trains, Juneja said, "Seamless entertainment in a train is a critical issue as the train crosses various terrains. However, through the technology we devised, the 54-inch long antennae will always remain connected with the satellite."
The technology has been approved from the Research esign and Standards Organisation, as the mobile dish antennae will be installed on the roof of the train and auto track the satellite all the times.
The tourists on these trains can now enjoy 110 satellite channels showing business news, current affairs, sports and travel and lifestyle, among others.
Rajasthan Tourism Development Corporation (RTDC), meanwhile, feels that the move will bring more laurels to luxury train travel, as the initial reaction of the tourists has been encouraging.
"We are pleased to join hands with Dish TV to bring Live TV to our two prestigious luxury trains. Our guests are pleasantly surprised to see Live TV in the trains. They are enjoying the IPL (Indian Premier League) and EPL (English Premier League) matches on the move," said Pramod Sharma from RTDC.

First off, this is not a complaint or rant post. To be honest, I know I suck at MW2. I mean real bad. This is about me setting a new standard for "suck". Just FYI, to give you some perspective on my skill level. I usually go like 12 and 14 or 18 and 22. Usually dying a smidge more than killing. But I always Stinger air support and go for flag captures. Try to help the team y'know?
I just finished two matches in a row where it was just absolutely messy as I've ever seen it. First game, I went 1 and 16. Joined a Domination game in progress already. I don't remember how bad the second game was. Literally, I would spawn and die within 10 seconds. If it wasn't dying right after spawning. It was just dying for just leaving my spawn.
Here, let me give you some examples:
-Spawn, look around for a 1 second to see that I'm not getting flanked. Start to move. Take 5 steps, a Predator Missile hits me.
-Spawn again, I run for cover right away. Look at the map at the same time. Looks good. Think I'll peak around that corner. Or damn, I've been sniped.
-Spawn again. Okay...that corner is being covered by a good sniper. Let's go the other way. Gonna move to the end of this shack here and ...damn, grenade just got lobbed into here. I'm dead again.
-Spawn again. Alright, just sprint and get out of this part of the map! Cross my fingers, cross my fingers, cross my fingers.....whew! Made it to an area that looks clear. Let's see if I can flank on the side and help dislodge some of the other team that are camping out and covering all these lanes. Ah damn....Predator Missile just hit me.
-Spawn again. Oh wow, we've switched spawns now. Cool, good time for me to come back in from a different angle. There's a guy who just came around a corner with a Spas 12 in his hand. Got this. He's still far away and the shotgun isn't good at range. Gonna take a knee, aim down sight, got sleight of hand pro going, aiming is quick. Burst to the head and he's dead. Damn I'm dead. SPAS 12 can kill from that far with one shot?
-Spawn again. Alright, gotta help the team. Flag A is real close. Looks like all the fighting has moved over to the ....damn I'm dead again. Predator Missile again? Let me watch the kill camera. Hmm......there's like 4 squares real close together. Why is the controller of the missile avoiding those four squares and going for the one square all the way off to the side that's me? I'm not even by the flag yet....
-Spawn again. Man, this is bad. Gotta get it together. Let me move together with the rest of the team. Cool, we're going into this area together. If we encounter someone, they can only kill one of us before the other two mow him down. Damn I'm dead. Let me watch the kill camera. Sniper with an Intervention eh? There he is aiming at my team mate. Oh look, my team turns and goes left just as the sniper pulls the trigger. Guess who is 30 feet behind my team mate? That would be me.
-About to spawn again. I hear enemy Harrier coming in. Let me switch to class with a Stinger. Got it....good! Damn, that building is in the way. Let me scoot a little to the left and ....damn.....just got hit by a grenade launcher.
This was my match. I was literally pinned down no matter where I went. I think the opposite team had to be all friends who were working together. On top of that, they were all veteran players. They had every avenue covered. I mean every single way you can go from one side of the map to the other. Every angle was being covered. Yes, it was campy of them. For Domination, they were keeping us from getting a 2nd flag. We just couldn't move out of our half of the map at all. Plus, killstreak wise, they were getting a ton of Predator Missiles. They were literally going off about every 30 seconds to a minute during a point in the game.
Also, to tell you how well these guys play, I would post up on a spot that I thought wasn't too predictable. Look down my sights and wait for them to come around a corner. Yeah, I was camping. But since they were too, figure I would right? Then an enemy silhouette would appear down the road. Just emerged into view from around a corner. Time to shoot! Nope. Even though he was running. He saw me, stopped, and shot me first. From really far too! Guess my spot wasn't so unpredictable. I don't think there's any unpredictable spots for these guys.
Anyways, ever been in a game like this? Or is it just me? Y'know, because...I really really suck. You combine that with going up against a veteran team working together and that's a bad recipe for me. I really wish I had I had a way of recording my games. That game was so bad, I really think people would've been entertained with how fast I was getting owned over and over. It was really a new unbelievable low for me. :)

Cabot Oil & Gas Provides Shale Play Update; Increased Production Guidance
HOUSTON, Oct. 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ – Cabot Oil & Gas Corporation (NYSE: COG) today provided a status update of its Marcellus development in Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania, along with its first look at a horizontal Haynesville shale success in its County Line field in east Texas.
The Company has nine horizontal wells producing, three of which have produced over 1 Bcf. Seventeen horizontal wells have been drilled so far in 2009, and 16 are drilling or remain to be drilled from six horizontal rigs that are currently operating. To date, the Company's 24-hour initial production rates have ranged between 4.6 to 11.5 Mmcf per day, with 30-day rates ranging from 3.5 to 10.9 Mmcf per day. "One year ago, Cabot was producing about 5 Mmcf per day from its Marcellus position in northeast Pennsylvania," stated Dan O. Dinges, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Today we are producing over 50 Mmcf per day with a backlog of completions scheduled for the last two months of the year." Dinges added, "Our two most recent completions have now been on line for about 40 days and are currently producing 6.5 Mmcf per day each."
Cabot has recently added to its acreage position and now has over 170,000 gross acres in northeast Pennsylvania. "From this position, we are expanding our efforts in 2010 to 73 horizontal wells and ten vertical wells," said Dinges. "This is more than a doubling of our effort and will account for two-thirds of our investment program for 2010."
In east Texas, Cabot confirmed that the Company and its partners are flow testing its first horizontal Haynesville shale well. The well is hooked up to sales flowing back at this point, at approximately 21.0 Mmcf per day with a flowing casing pressure of 7,800 psi, after 11 days in line. Dinges added, "We anticipate that the well will improve further as it continues to clean up frac fluid." The well is operated by Common Resources, and Cabot is a 42 percent working interest partner.
"Our recent success affords us the opportunity to increase our production guidance for the fourth quarter making the previous high end of guidance the low point and establishing a new high level for the range," commented Dinges. "Additionally, we have also raised our capital program to cover the potential results from a more extensive leasing effort in Marcellus." The new investment program is $580 million, which will only be spent depending on leasing success.
Cabot Oil & Gas Corporation, headquartered in Houston, Texas is a leading independent natural gas producer, with its entire resource base located in the continental United States. For additional information, visit the Company's Internet homepage at www.cabotog.com.

First oral drug could benefit many with the autoimmune disease, researchers say
TUESDAY, April 15 (HealthDay News) -- The first pill designed to reduce the number of attacks in people with multiple sclerosis appears to be effective in early tests, Italian researchers report.
The pill was effective in preventing relapses in more than 60 percent of patients who took the pill for three years, according to research that was expected to be presented April 15 the American Academy of Neurology annual meeting, in Chicago.
"All of the current treatments for MS must be injected, so having a pill you can swallow with a glass of water would be a welcome improvement for many people," lead researcher Dr. Giancarlo Comi, from Vita-Salute San Raffaele University in Milan, said in a prepared statement.
In the study, Comi's team treated 281 people with relapsing MS with FTY720 (fingolimod) or a placebo. After six months, two-thirds of the patients who received FTY720 had more than 50 percent fewer relapses, compared with those receiving placebo.
During the three years of the trial, more than 67 percent of the 173 people receiving FTY720 were free of relapses. In addition, 89 percent of the patients were free of disease activity and 75 percent did not develop new lesions or see their lesions enlarge. This was confirmed by MRI scans, the researchers stated.
"The first-line treatments for MS, beta interferon and glatiramer acetate, reduce the relapse rate by only about 30 percent, so this is a significant development for people with MS," Comi said in a statement.
The most commonly reported side effects of FTY720 were headache, flu and cold symptoms.
The drug works by binding to receptors on immune cells, isolating them in the lymph nodes, thereby reducing their ability to cause the damage associated with MS symptoms.
The study was paid for by Novartis Pharma AG, maker of FTY720.

Here's what Sundar Pichai actually said minus the selective editing from that 'iOnApple' hack at NetworkWorld.
Sorry, the premise of the question is because Android is open, it has more security issues? Respectfully, I'm not sure that's a correct premise of the question. Open platforms historically undergo a lot of scrutiny, but there are a lot of advantages to having an open source platform from a security standpoint. I would argue that it's the best way for a platform to be secure, because every researcher in the world can inspect it, every developer in the world can inspect it, and I think that contributes a lot to Android security.
Android was built to be very, very secure. The thing that you're seeing is because Android is an open platform, many people can ship Android in many different ways and so there are some partners when they ship devices, they have an older version of Android. And sure you can have a security vulnerability there, but that doesn't mean Android isn't secure. We go to great lengths–the depth of work in Android to make it secure; the depth of work done by Google PlayGoogle Play automatically scans and verifies thousands of applications for malware. We track data on this. It's state of the art in terms of what we do. What you see across the ecosystempeople will ship good phones and keep them updatedyou will have some phones that will not be updated. That's where we see issues. Not Android at a fundamental level.

Posting anonymously since I'm a motoroogle employee... you'll be disappointed. I certainly am. At this point, I expect google to shut us down or spin us off.
I'm sure if you trace his IP (with a GUI written in VB, of course) you'll find that it originated from a basement.
I'd be fine with that. It's a POS app that requires a 365 subscription to even use.
No, Microsoft is still the Microsoft of old. They'll never change regardless of what they say. They're still the same old company that'll do anything in their power to sabotage the competition. It's no wonder the OEM's despise them and are flocking to Google.
Perhaps Microsoft should stop spreading FUD about Google? Or perhaps they should stop forming shill organizations to do their dirty work by proxy. Or perhaps they should stop trying to undermine Google by pleading with governments to investigate them for anti-trust violations. But, let's start off easily and just retire those pathetic and embarrassing Gmail Man ads. I have to give credit to Google for graciously hosting them on YouTube - I would have deleted their account and blocked their IP.
Microsoft is simply getting what they deserve. If you want to act like a jerk then prepare for the blow back.
A criminal government helping out a convicted price fixing criminal? Were you expecting another outcome?
This will make companies think twice about offering their patents for SE technologies.
Which is nice, given all that they've contributed to Linux.
I wouldn't call junk a contribution.
All Google needs to do is offer a commercial licence, for a small fee, to all Android OEM's that indemnifies them. This way if Microsoft has an issue with Android or Linux they can take on Google directly. But, we all know that would never happen because Microsoft clearly knows that Google would single handily invalidate all of their obvious, worthless and prior art ridden patents one by one.
Perhaps you've heard of Motorola? Yeah, Google does make phones now.
These are the list of frivolous, prior art ridden patents Microsoft used to try and extort money from Barnes and Noble. When the trial was about to go to court a magical partnership was established between Microsoft and Barnes & Noble and the lawsuit was dropped. It's a pity more companies don't stand up to these patent trolls.

HYDERABAD: Memorising 132 digits within a minute and reciting them, a city-based 13-year-old maths prodigy has set a new Guinness World Record. The earlier record in this category was memorising 76 digits in a minute held by an Indonesian.
Nischal Narayanam attempted the record a few weeks ago in the presence of Chief Minister K. Rosaiah, Chief Electoral Officer I.V. Subba Rao and other dignitaries here. The digits in the sequence of zeroes and ones were displayed on a giant screen enabling Nischal memorise them.
The screen went blank after the timekeeper clicked one minute. Then he recalled all the numbers in the same sequence as was flashed on the screen.
He is the first youngster in the country to achieve the second Guinness World Record in the field of memory after an earlier record in the category of memorising most random objects. "I achieved this success with the support of my family and trainer. Initially, I was worried about memorising digits in a sequence. After undergoing constant training, my confidence levels went up and I successfully broke the record," Nischal, a resident of Banjara Hills, told presspersons here on Friday.

Multiple repair starting with the soap dispenser door not openning or openning late. Fixed with the door motor kit. Don't buy just the motor! The instruction sheet is NO GOOD! Assembled unit with help of the photos and refering to the wiring diagram in the manual. Also found debris in the rotating arms. Cleaned those. A small shop vac was indispensible. Next noticed that the heating element was not being covered with water. I removed the water inlet valve and determined that rust had seized the piston. Replaced that and the dish washer is working like new. Next time- Replace the water inlet valve first!

Professional Footballers' Association deputy chief executive Mick McGuire does not believe Liverpool midfielder Xabi Alonso should be criticised for missing a Champions League match to attend the birth of his first child.
The Spanish star stayed on Merseyside on Monday while the rest of the Reds squad flew to Milan for the second leg of their last-16 clash with Inter, which they lead 2-0.
Reds boss Rafa Benitez said of Alonso's late decision: "Xabi wanted to stay behind. He had said he would come if things were okay, but we couldn't wait, wait, wait, and I now have to use my squad."
Newspaper reports claim the playmaker's future at Anfield is in doubt because of his decision, but Maguire insists the club should support Alonso.
He said: "We know it's an important game but is there anything more important than what he's actually staying for?
"It's a sensitive area but it isn't something we would look to criticise at all. I don't think the magnitude of the game is the biggest consideration because you're talking about something which is more important than any employment you're in.
"Maybe what has a bearing on it is that he is an overseas player and his lady is from abroad so she's away from home and you can understand there's even more of a sensitivity because of it."

• Constitution Day and Citizenship Day are celebrated Sept. 17 in remembrance of the signing of the Constitution in 1787. Since 1952, they have been celebrated together.
• More than 32,000 people are becoming U.S. citizens at 158 ceremonies scheduled across the country from Friday, Sept. 14, through Saturday, Sept. 22.
Igor Shevchenko has lived in America for a dozen years. Still, it was a special moment Friday when he officially became an American.
"It feels good," the 19-year-old Battle Ground resident said after he took the oath of allegiance at Fort Vancouver National Historic Site.
"I came here when I was 7. I grew up here; it was about time," Shevchenko said.
The naturalization ceremony marked Fort Vancouver's third annual observance of Constitution Day and Citizenship Day.
The event was conducted by the Portland office of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service and hosted by the National Park Service staff at Fort Vancouver.
"This is a big turning point in your lives," said Evelyn Sahli, director of the USCIS field office in Portland as she welcomed 35 citizenship candidates from 20 countries.
Tracy Fortmann, superintendent of the Fort Vancouver National Historic Site, reminded them of all the people who started coming here more than 180 years ago -- from more than 35 American Indian tribes, and from countries all around the world -- to build this community.
Even for someone who's been here for a while, the ceremony and the solemn recitation of the oath put things in perspective, Shevchenko said.
"You don't think about it" in the day-to-day routine, said the Clark College student, whose family came to the U.S. from Russia in 2000. "Then you sit here, and it all comes back."
The other 34 newly minted Americans came here from Afghanistan, Bosnia-Herzegovina, China, Ethiopia, Germany, Haiti, India, Iran, Japan, Kazakhstan, Mexico, Moldova, Philippines, Romania, South Korea, Ukraine, Uzbekistan, Venezuela and Vietnam.
After taking the oath, in which they absolutely and entirely renounced and abjured "all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen," they all became Americans.
"You have chosen to join us," Fortmann said, "and we are better for it."

American Field Service students home away from home for the holidays
Wauwatosa exchange students adjust to Christmas abroad
Wauwatosa students involved in the foreign exchange program known as American Field Service, or AFS, are with their families for the winter holidays. Not their biological families, but their host families.
Although traditions vary from family to family, they celebrate the holidays in roughly the same manner that any other family would. There is a gift exchange, time spent with relatives and festivities.
Some students are too busy being immersed in an entirely new culture to miss their families.
Maria Pelletta, a French foreign exchange student at East, said that while she loves her family, she's too busy with American culture to miss them.
"I like it here," she said. "There's so much to do here so there's no time to think about home."
The same held true for Elisa Shapson, a Wauwatosa East graduate. While in Germany she was so busy with the culture and customs that she didn't have time to be homesick during the holidays. That's not to say she doesn't love and miss her family. She's looking forward to visiting them from Madison this school break.
Students are discouraged from too-regular contact with their host families for fear of homesickness. Rather than stay inside and talk with their families, students are asked to immerse themselves completely in whatever country they decide to visit.
Cultural differences
Although Maria comes from a westernized country, there are some stark differences in holiday traditions. American music and decorations stuck out most for her.
"Here you have Christmas radio and I've never heard of this in France," she said. "There are a lot of decorations and lights outside and there are not so many in France."
Shapson also noted the music. She said that while they have Christmas songs in German, the music isn't played nearly to the extent that it is here. She added that in her experience, the Germans focused more on traditional aspects of the holidays, such as Advent wreath lighting and leaving shoes outside for Saint Nicholas.
Language barriers were temporary for the two. Maria had a hard time with English for roughly a month. It took Shapson about six months before she fully understood German. Both agree that they learned considerably faster being immersed in a foreign language.
Sometimes, Shapson thinks in German and has to recall the English equivalent to German words.
Matching families
Both Wauwatosa schools participate in the AFS program, a nonprofit entity that works closely with the schools and state departments to pair families with exchange students.
Wauwatosa's AFS branch is always seeking host families. The families must jump through several hoops in order to host a student: They must complete a criminal-background check, have an interview with the AFS branch and everybody, including any children, must be willing to participate in the program. The family must also go through training before they can be matched with a student.
The students coming from other countries must meet certain requirements as well. They must have a solid background in speaking English, a clean background check and must either have graduated high school or be willing to retake a year in some cases.
Several factors are considered when choosing student-family pairs. Allergies, religious practices, backgrounds, hobbies and family involvement are a few examples of the myriad pieces considered when pairing students with families.
Each family is assigned a liaison officer when the match is made. The liaison must meet with the student face-to-face once a month to make sure they're adjusting. If the match isn't working out, the student can be transferred to a different family.
Lasting connections
The Wauwatosa AFS Chapter President, Maripat Monahan, has hosted two students, both hailing from India. She considers them to be family.
"It's about learning about a person from another culture that can engage with you in a friendly environment and literally become a family member and introduce you to their perception of the world they come from," Monahan said.
Maria, who has family in the United States, wanted to come here because she believes the United States is a world leader. She wants to continue her studies in America, eventually studying law and perhaps living in America for the rest of her life.
"I really like the American lifestyle," she said. "I feel like people, when at work, are more relaxed."
Shapson went to UW-Madison after graduating from Wauwatosa East. The entire level of her dorm speaks German, making her quick friends. She is going to be living in a house with those friends next year and wants to go to Germany with them sometime in the future.

Salita Calls Out Khan to Tablet
Boxer blames angry crowd for KO last year
While catching a glimpse of Omri Casspi last week in East Rutherford, New Jersey, after a Nets game, I also got the chance to chat briefly with Dmitriy Salita. The Ukrainian-born Brooklynite, who fights at the junior welterweight (140 pounds) level and in his spare time studies to be an Orthodox rabbi, was last seen getting crushed by world champion Amir Khan. Khan faces Paulie Malignaggi at Madison Square Garden in May. But Salita told me he hopes to be fighting in May, too, and hopes to be fighting Khan thereafter.
"A lot of things went into that fight that affected the results," he told me of his December bout in England, which lasted only 76 seconds before Khan achieved his sensational KO. "My people weren't allowed to be involved, I didn't get special security for myself. It was an incredibly violent crowd, a whole bunch of angry people just waiting for me."
Salita added: "And my close family was there. So, when I got into the ring, and saw my close family surrounded by people with blood in their eyes, it became a different kind of fight."
"Ideally," he concluded, "we'll fight again." Khan (KHAAAAAAAN!): Take care of Malignaggi, and Salita will be ready for you. May we suggest you guys fight in Brooklyn next time?

Good news everyone and that is I did not act like a bitch at the haunted woods. I was scared at certain points sure but I was tough in the face of fear. The walking though the woods and corn field had its scary moments but by far the mental ones are the worst. There was one where you walk into a room and there is no light at all, none and you have to feel your way around to get out. That one I will not lie got me going a bit but the chainsaw guys I expected so that was fun but not as scary as the black room. Another thing that was crazy was a room with a walk way that was not moving but the lights made it seem like the floor was moving and I almost fell over. Mental mind games are rough people be warned. Now after the haunt we walked through we then went over to the area where you get on a blacked out bus and shoot zombies with paint ball guns. Some of the zombies are just wood targets but a few of them are real people dressed up so they move. Moving targets and real people make the shooting of them that much better. Overall this was not something I would go out and do but if you have a group of friends I highly recommend to go to a haunted Forrest, woods or cornfield just get out there and enjoy the season.

commences on Saturday, March 14th, 2015 at 11:00AM.
2015 will put another milestone on the twenty one years of continued tradition and mark the fourth year that the parade is presented by the Hermosa Beach Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Bureau.
Actor Kevin Ryan joins the procession this Saturday as the inaugural Grand Marshal of the 21st Annual Hermosa Beach St Patrick's Day Parade.
Hailed as Ireland's newest emerging star and voted one of Ireland's sexiest Irishmen two years consecutively, Kevin starred as Detective Francis Maguire in the BBC America period drama series "Copper," John Finnegan in the pirate-themed series "Crossbones" with John Malkovich, J.J. Fitzgerald in the independent film "Songs for Amy" screened at the 2013 Hollywood Film Festival, and most recently as a member of the prestigious cast of "Sons of Liberty" on the History Channel in January. Next up, Kevin stars in the film "Enclosure" due for release this summer, costarring Fiona Dourif and Jake Busey.
Kevin represents the formidable trifecta of actor, writer and producer, and joins us on the heels of winning Best Producer at the London International Film Festival of World Cinema where his film "Paddy's in the Boot" was nominated for 7 awards including Best Director, Best Producer, Best Actor (Kevin as Connor Quinn), and Best Supporting Actor.
And now a rising philanthropist, Kevin runs the 2015 LA Marathon Sunday and within 5 weeks, the 2015 Boston Marathon to raise money for the Boston-based Hopkinton Center for the Arts. Hopkinton Center raises funds to develop local talent for the youth of Boston. (hopartscenter.org)
Come cheer Kevin and send him off to the Marathons with a warm Hermosa wave!!
In what has become a popular tradition in Hermosa Beach, the parade draws an estimated 30,000 people each year who come to enjoy the parade as well as the great dining, shopping and beautiful beach weather that Hermosa Beach offers.
The parade begins at the staging area near City Hall on Valley Drive, makes a left onto Pier Avenue and ends at the corner of Hermosa Avenue and 10th street.
Nearly 100 local businesses, civic organizations and school marching bands traditionally take part in the seven block parade down the beautifully restored Pier Avenue. The Irish theme of Saint Patrick's Day is celebrated by the many participants in the festivities including bagpipers, floats and four legged friends from the Irish Setters Club of Southern California.
For more information on getting involved in the Hermosa Beach St. Patrick's Day Parade as a participant, a spectator, or to become an event sponsor, please see the links below.
Thank you to all the participants who applied! See you and Have fun at the parade

Texas A&M's women's basketball team had its practice day on Thursday, in preparation for the quarterfinal of the SEC Tournament. The Aggies face Auburn at 7:30 p.m. CT on Friday.
The Aggies started the day with a practice at The Arena at Gwinnett Center, a familiar place for the Aggies, as they won the 2013 SEC Tournament in the same building. After a short time on the court at Gwinnett Center, the Aggies finished practice at nearby North Gwinnett High School.
Following practice, a few of the players headed over to Beaver Ridge Elementary school to participate in the SEC community service outreach program where they read to students and answered questions.
In the evening, the Aggies attended the Ole Miss vs. Auburn second round game of the SEC Tournament, watching their Friday opponent, Auburn, take home a 70-54.
Friday's game will be televised in Houston and San Antonio on Fox Sports Southwest, while Mavericks markets, including College Station, pick up the game on Fox Sports Southwest+ on Dish Network. Suddenlink plans to carry the game on channel 22. Fans can also watch the game on ESPN3. DirecTV may air the game only on SportSouth (649).

Optmyzr automatically fetches an advertiser's AdWords labels and makes them available for use with any of their custom reports, data insight reports, and one-click optimizations™.
This opens up many new possibilities for advertisers who can now more easily get the right data to make decisions to improve their AdWords performance. They can now easily:
Users can continue to use Optmyzr's labels while also using labels that they have created in AdWords or other tools. This eliminates the need to duplicate labels in Optmyzr and will save advertisers a significant amount of time.

We can't get over the difference.
Christina Aguilera last night showed off her dramatic estimated 5 stone weight loss following a strict diet, at the AMAs with the difference clear in before and after photos taken just a year apart.
Christina, 32, looked virtually recognisable in comparison with the photos taken at last year's American Music Awards.
The singer hit the red carpet at the 2012 Awards in an unflattering dip-dye purple dress which accentuated her curves.
[Christina Aguilera 'bans dairy and carbs' from her diet]
[Christina Aguilera admits to feeling 'sexy and seductive' after her weight loss]
However, last night Christina chose a tight white gown with cut-away sections to flaunt the fact that her body is most definitely back.
Christina, who's mum to five-year-old Max, posed in all positions for photos on the red carpet to ensure that we all got a glimpse at her incredible new figure.
It's rumoured that Christina has lost around five stone by following a VERY strict low-carb diet.
The diet plan sees followers eating avocado and turkey bacon for breakfast, chicken with salad for lunch and chicken or fish curry for dinner. Snacks include celery with almond butter, shrimp cocktail and as a splurge, one glass of wine.
However, it's also been suggested that Christina has resorted to surgery to perfect her new body.
Hollywood Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr. Lance Wyatt suggested that Christina "may have had liposuction of her body and/or tummy tuck for flatter abdomen and narrower waistline."
Christina hasn't commented on the surgery rumours, but she has spoken out about how being a mum takes priority over gym sessions.
She recently confessed: "If I have to choose between working out and spending time with my son after a hard day, it's not even a question."

Sundown: Groovin' to Philip Roth
An unlikely techno song, keg stands in the holy land, and diaspora equality
• Journalist James Marcus has created a new techno song out of Philip Roth's "Jewish shouting" from an interview last year. Word has it, the track will be the biggest thing to hit the clubs since the mashup of Bernard Malamud's grumbling and John Updike's harrumphs. [Galleycat]

Perfect ceremony program
These ceremony program fans were perfect for my wedding. The design was perfect, as our flowers were gerber daisies, and I was able to customize the colors of the program to match our wedding color theme. I ended up changing all the colors, even the background and font colors, and the programs turned out beautiful. I liked that I was able to customize the text on the front and back to make it our personal program. We just did plain paper and printing, but they looked amazing and the quality of them was great. I had contemplated putting program fans together myself, but when I saw these I knew I wanted them, and they were perfect. All of our guests loved them! I liked that I was able to receive a sample of the program before purchasing over 200 of them, because I could see the quality of the paper and printing. And then the cost of the sample was just credited to my full order which was awesome. I would definitely recommend these to anyone who is having a summer wedding and wants something different and creative for their ceremony program. The fans are perfect for a summer wedding that is being held outside. The programs are beautiful and will keep your guests cool!
beautiful customization!
I was so happy these turned out better than I imagined! They were both beautiful & great on my hot wedding day. People complimented them all day long! Great keepsake!!!
Beautiful Fan programs
I ordered the dramatic rose fan programs. They came out fantastic. I absolutely love the work that magnet street does. I did my save the dates, invites and now the programs with them. I couldn't be happier with their service.
Exactly what I wanted
This is exactly what I had in mind before I even looked at the site. The design is great and works well with my invitations that I also got from Magnet Street. The quality is great and they seem very durable. I was able to customize the program and when I put in a custom request, it was completed really fast. The program turned out perfect and I'm so excited.
Easy and beautiful
My daughter used this site for their wedding announcements and was more than happy with them. The website is easy to use and flexible in being able to be creative. I used it also for the program fans and was delighted to see how easy it was to change colors and fonts and create them exactly the way I envisioned. You can select a template and the interactive tips help you from there. I will share with all my friends who have family getting married.

Senior Underwriters may progress into high-paying roles like VP of Underwriting, where median compensation is $129K annually. The most common promotion for Senior Underwriters is Manager of Underwriting, a position that typically pays $88K annually. Another standard transition for Senior Underwriters seeking advancement is to assume a Mortgage Loan Underwriter role, where pay is often $54K.
Leading companies who hire large numbers of Senior Underwriters include The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc., Liberty Mutual Insurance Group, Bank of America Corp. (BOFA), American International Group, Inc. (AIG), and ACE Group. Heading up the field in terms of compensation, Zurich offers the most; Senior Underwriters earn $122K on average there. Other employers shelling out big bucks include The Chubb Corporation, The Hanover Insurance Company, and Zurich North America, where Senior Underwriters typically earn around $110K, $107K, or $100K, respectively.
Employees at Bank of America Corp. (BOFA) take home the smallest paychecks, and $74K is the median salary. Furthermore, range in pay is narrow, with salaries starting at $58K and quickly nearing the top at only $88K. Other low-paying employers include The Travelers Companies, Inc. at $76K and The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc. at $81K, though some Senior Underwriters there earn up to $115K.
Survey results imply that Senior Underwriters put a diverse skill set to use. Most notably, facility with Sales, Negotiation, and Underwriting are correlated to pay that is significantly above average, leading to increases of 21 percent, 8 percent, and 7 percent, respectively. Skills that pay less than market rate include Data Analysis. Most people experienced in Insurance also know Financial Analysis.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Senior Underwriters with more experience do not necessarily bring home bigger paychecks. In fact, experience in this field tends to impact compensation minimally. Those in the early stages of their career can expect to make around $67K; however, individuals with five to 10 years of experience bring in $76K on average — a distinctly larger sum. The average pay reported by folks with 10 to 20 years of experience is around $77K. Veterans who have worked for more than two decades do tend to make the most in the end; the median pay for this group is $80K.
For those looking to make money, Senior Underwriters in San Francisco enjoy an exceptional pay rate, 28 percent above the national average. Senior Underwriters will also find cushy salaries in New York (+28 percent), Boston (+24 percent), Chicago (+14 percent), and Los Angeles (+13 percent). Trailing the national average by 15 percent, Phoenix is the market with the smallest paychecks. Employers in Tampa and Portland also lean toward paying below-median salaries (9 percent lower and 2 percent lower, respectively).

Springfield officials request delay in MCAS testing due to tornado, weather events
By Julie Varney
Springfield Mayor Domenic Sarno signed a home rule bill Tuesday that if approved will delay MCAS testing in the city in order to give students and teachers more time to prepare for the test in the aftermath of the severe weather the city has experienced this year.
The June 1 tornado cancelled school for two days at the end of last school year and forced the closure of two of the citys public schools. Then in August, the impact of Tropical Storm Irene closed schools on the first day of the new school year. And in October the weather again played a trick with a pre-Halloween snowstorm that shut down city schools for six days.
City officials said because of the nine days of teaching time lost and trauma endured by the schoolchildren of Springfield, they requested the state postpone the Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment Systems tests in the city until April and May. The tests are currently scheduled to be administered in March and April.
Given the testimony of teachers, we feel there is serious concern whether there has been proper coverage of the subject areas in preparation for this test, said James Ferrera, president of the Springfield City Council. We felt we were obligated to adhere to the request of Springfield teachers and administrators.
The Springfield City Council unanimously approved the bill on Feb. 13 before it was sent to the mayor. It now needs approval from the state Legislature and Gov. Deval Patrick.
The bottom line is I am always looking to do what is best for the students in our school system. The ball is now in the state Legislatures court, Sarno said.
Ferrera urged the state Legislature to take speedy action in approving the bill.
It should send a message down to Boston it was approved unanimously by the City Council and signed by the mayor, so we hope to deal with the issue sooner rather than later, he said.
Springfield State Rep. Sean Curran (D), a member of the Joint Committee on Education, said he will lobby the governor for the passage of the bill and postponement of the test.
Mitchell Chester, the state commissioner of elementary and secondary education, said in a Feb. 8 letter to Sarno that a delay in testing was not allowed and only a very limited extension could be granted for Springfield students.
Chester said passage of the bill would mean that Springfield would fail to administer the 2012 ELA (English Language Arts) MCAS test to its students, and students in Grade 10 would lose a critical opportunity to pass the test which is required for graduation.
However, Timothy Collins, president of the Springfield Education Association, said if the bill is passed the state Department of Elementary and Secondary Education would have to comply with the delay in testing.
Collins hoped legislators will have empathy for what people in Springfield have experienced.
I certainly hope the legislature throughout the Commonwealth puts themselves in the shoes of the people in Springfield, he said. Our constituents are the families of our kids who have gone through tremendous trauma this past year, a tornado, a hurricane, eight days without power.
Collins said students in Springfield are not on a level playing field with other students in the state.
Scores on the MCAS test get compared across the Commonwealth. There are districts that havent lost a single day, he said. Our kids are competing with other kids who have had more time to prepare and havent lived through the traumatic year our kids have lived. They havent lived through the trauma of a tornado that ripped a path of destruction through our city that you would not believe.
Several of the citys public schools were directly in the tornados path of destruction.
Two schools, the Mary A. Dryden Veterans Memorial School and the Elias Brookings School, were closed at the end of last school year because of serious damage cause by the June 1 tornado.
The Brookings School was completely destroyed and students currently attend classes in portable spaces. The building is set to either be renovated or replaced.
At the Dryden Veterans Memorial School the main wing of the building is back in operation, but the wing most damaged in the tornado was knocked down and replaced with portable spaces.
City officials feel it is even more important to ensure proper preparation for the test given the need for continued improvement in MCAS test scores in the citys schools.
Springfield has 10 schools deemed as Level 4 under-performing, meaning they performed poorly on the MCAS tests in both the Math and English Language Arts sections over a four-year span, scoring in the lowest 20 percent of schools statewide, and haven't shown signs of "substantial improvement."
In 2011, all but two of the 10 of Springfields under-performing schools experienced double-digit improvement over the previous year's MCAS test results, according the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education.
At the Brookings School, one of the citys Level 4 schools, students MCAS scores improved by 18 percent in math and 12 percent in English last year, according the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education.
