I thought Positive Atheism might be interested in the counter protest of the Christian Coalition's rally in support of Alabama's Chief Justice Roy Moore.
Members of The Mobile Atheists (TMA) and other groups protested a pro-Moore rally held by the Christian Coalition of Alabama in Montgomery. Counter-protesters outnumbered the Moore supporters by 2 to 1. All involved had a great time.
0815: TMA members met at the UUFM
0830: Departed Mobile for the drive to Montgomery.
1050: Arrived in Montgomery and met up with other groups that were preparing for the March to the capitol building. Groups involved in the protest were: The Mobile Atheists, The Birmingham Atheists, The Wiregrass Atheists, Skeptics-Freethought of North Alabama and American Atheists. Approximately 25 atheists assembled at the intersection of Hull & Alabama in Montgomery for the "parade" and protest. While waiting for the procession to begin, the Associated Press interviewed Blair Scott and Larry Darby.
1105: Began procession to capitol building. The procession was led by the large red American Atheists banner held by the daughters of Larry Darby and Blair Scott. FOX News from Montgomery videotaped our procession and was very interested in the girls holding the American Atheists banner. We marched down Hull St and turned right on Dexter Ave. Our procession was uneventful and without any contact.
1115: Arrived at Dexter & Bainbridge where we were to set up "camp" for the remaining time. The Christian Coalition's area had already been pre-staged and there were a few Mooreheads already on scene. They had Christian music playing over large speakers (noise pollution is bad enough, but "Songs4Worship" noise pollution is the worse) and a table was setup with propaganda, historical revisionism tracts and signs for the arriving Mooreheads.
Across Dexter Ave., the Alliance for Civility and Tolerance (ACT) had pre-staged "rainbow rope" for their counter-protest and their supporters were arriving slowly. We were the only group to arrive in unison and in "parade."
After our arrival, several newspaper reporters came over and interviewed several people. FOX, NBC and ABC were already on site (CBS arrived later) and began videotaping our group.
1135: Enough ACT supporters had arrived and we decided to pay their group a visit. The leaders of each group agreed that we should remain across Dexter Avenue from each other instead of combining forces. This was done so that the Mooreheads, when looking out beyond the steps of the capital building, would see opposition on the right, left and center. This strategy worked greatly in our favor once the Moorehead rally began.
1145: A Moorehead from Victory Baptist Church decided to come over to our group and started reading out of the Bible at us. Images of The Exorcist flashed through my head -- I couldn't help it. We gathered around the Moorehead and began chanting "Evil, evil, evil" over and over again and holding our signs up so that he was preaching to our signs instead of us. At this time several other Mooreheads came over and started harassing us as well. The atheists stood their ground and continued to simply chant back, "Evil, evil, evil..." At this point the police intervened and made the Mooreheads go back to their designated area and instructed them not to go back over and harass us. Several others still came over later, but were smart enough not to bring signs with them, this way they didn't draw the attention of the police.
It is important to note that the police were very amicable and polite. They went out of their way to ensure that all groups were given equal access and that all groups were treated fairly and professionally (Several times we caught the police having a good time and laughing -- good for them!)They police made sure that we were aware of what we could and could not do and even helped us out by telling us we could go into the rotunda with the CCA after the rally.
Even when the police were called against us by the Christians, it was done professionally and without incident. One of the Christians had vandalized a city stop sign by hanging a Ten Commandments poster on it (this is against the law, by the way). One of the atheists took it off the stop sign and laid it on the ground. The sign then became a "toy", of sorts, as it was passed around and mocked. We're not sure exactly what event with the sign irritated the Christians into complaining, but we're have a fairly good idea that it was when someone, we'll keep Reid's name out of this, used it as a booty-board in a little dance in the street. ;-)
During the "dead time" between incidents and the upcoming rally, we had a blast and made the best of it. Many danced to the Christian music and gave our best shot at doing the "Happy Jesus" dance. There was great conversation, laughter, dancing, shouting, parading and plain old good times.
1205: The CCA officially call their rally to order. The rally started with a prayer. During the entire rally, we heckled the speakers, usually based on something they said in their speech. We accomplished this several ways: 1) mass chanting of a single slogan, but only for a limited time; the chant changed based on what the person was speaking about. 2) Shouting out single words during pauses of the speech, which made our shouts heard by everyone because we weren't competing with microphone and speakers. 3) Taunting by saying one word over and over again using the same vocal mannerism in which you would call the family dog back into the house. 4) Being as loud as possible.
Many times we were louder than the speaker that had the microphone. We also had the benefit of acoustics. The CCA speakers had to project their voice over a large area of trees, parking lot and people. All our shouts went up into a narrow step area where the rally was. In addition, the doors to the capital building were open, so whatever we said went inside the capitol building, echoed off the walls and came back down the stairs at us. The CCA had to hear everything we said... TWICE! ;-)
When it was time for the Pledge of Allegiance, it was the only time that all the groups spoke at once and didn't shout at each other. The atheists said the PoA louder than anyone else and ended the PoA two words before the Mooreheads. Across the plaza was an echo of, "...and justice for all (atheists) ... justice for all (Christians)," as they finished just after us. One of the newspapers that reported on the rally mentioned that the atheists said the PoA louder than anyone else. Great going everyone! After the PoA, the atheists continued to say, "...and justice for ALL ...and justice for ALL" for a couple of minutes. It was very appropriate.
1300: Several times we made trips across Dexter Avenue holding the large American Atheists sign and giving support to the ACT folks. They returned the gesture and send several representatives over to stand with us for a while. The ACT folks ended up leaving early and did not stay for the entire event. The atheists stuck it out until the last minute (more on that later).
During the speeches, most of the comments and shouts from the atheists depended on the context of the speech. However, many phrases were shouted over and over because we heard a lot of historical revisionism (like Jefferson was a devout Christian, et. al.) and hate and anti-Constitutionalism. One of the phrases that we repeated during attempts to re-write history was, "Liars for Jesus". This one seemed to turn the most heads of the Mooreheads standing on the steps. The word "bigot" was used a lot as well as "haters". The phrases "What truth" and "Whose Justice" were used a lot as well.
Overall, we found the best method of heckling and causing the speakers to stumble over their speeches were independent yells from individuals, based on the context of the speech. If someone said something that worked really well, then it was sometimes chanted for a little bit just to emphasize the point. One phrase that was used like this a couple of times was, "Where was God on 9/11?"
1330: The CCA finished their rally and began their prayer march. The police told us we could march on the sidewalk alongside the Mooreheads, but we could not walk in the street with them. We obliged the police of course and were happy to march alongside the Mooreheads and continue to heckle them. At this point, Matthew 5:5-6 was quoted by atheists throughout the Moorehead prayer walk. During our march alongside, several debates began. One gentleman told us that he was glad 9/11 happened and was glad that almost 3,000 people had died. His reasoning you ask? He's happy because 28 million will be saved because of their deaths.
1350: The procession ended back at the steps of the capital building. At this point we gathered the troops and walked back to our vehicles. During this walk we went out of way to be cordial and polite to the departing Mooreheads. We waved goodbye, told them to have a nice day and to drive safe. During this walk we encountered the same gentleman that had said he was glad that 9/11 happened. We again, as a group, wished them well. A TMA member added, "I certainly hope your daughter is never in a building that has a plane flying at it."
1405: The atheists met a Chappy's Deli in Montgomery. There were hollers of "WATER!" as the waiters and waitresses came in. One lesson learned at our protest was that we needed coolers of water instead of people bringing one bottle of their own - water went fast. We enjoyed a little post-protest pep rally, great food and wonderful conversation.
I wish I could convey the amount of fun we had in an email. It's impossible to do. We accomplished our goals by outnumbering the Mooreheads and being louder than them. We got our views out and showed them that they are not the majority. At the same time we had an absolute blast doing it. If you want to know how much fun we had, just look around your group and find the guy or gal with the sunburned face and ask them, "How much fun did you have on Saturday?"
Activism, especially actions such as protesting, seems to have a stigma around it. People see the actions as laborious and a lot of work. The exact opposite is true. They are a lot of fun and a great source of entertainment, with the side benefit of getting the message out. The fellowship alone is worth it. When atheists begin to admit that they need fellowship, too, perhaps we will start to see a bit more activism. Fellowship is not a religious word, so don't let religion hijack it from Webster's Dictionary. Fellowship is important at a psychological level and a societal level. We all need to be among those we can trust, those that we can talk to without fear of being discriminated or harassed.
Bottom line?
And we had fun doing it!
No matter where you are,
there you are!!!
The following atheist groups had representatives at the rally:
The Mobile Atheists
The Birmingham Atheists
Skeptics-Freethought of North Alabama
The Wiregrass Atheists
Atlanta Freethought Society
American Atheists
Moore Rally
Brings Foes
Undaunted by hecklers who screamed "bigots" and "evil" at them, supporters of Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore rallied Sunday on the Capitol steps and sang his praises.
Moore, whose display of the Ten Commandments in the state Judicial Building and remarks about homosexuals have drawn criticism, didn't appear at the one-hour rally. But his wife made it clear she stands by her man.
"He came here to make a difference, and he has," said Kayla Moore, who joined more than 100 members and supporters of the Christian Coalition, which sponsored the rally.
A large number of opponents, representing several different groups, stood across the street from the Capitol rally.
Kelly McGinley, a conservative radio talk show host who helped arrange the rally, hailed Moore as a West Point graduate, war hero and defender of American values.
"We live in a time and a day when people call what is evil, good and what is good, evil," McGinley said. "We live in a time when everything is turned upside-down and we live in a lawless country."
Moore was elected chief justice after a court fight against the American Civil Liberties Union to keep a Ten Commandments plaque in his courtroom in Gadsden, where he was a circuit judge. In August, he placed a 2½-ton stone monument of the Ten Commandments in the Judicial Building's lobby.
In March, Moore wrote that a woman was an unfit mother because she was homosexual. He called homosexuality an "inherent evil against which children must be protected."
Former Supreme Court Chief Justice Perry Hooper Sr., who sat with leaders of the rally, said Moore's duties represent a major challenge "for anyone."
"What a lot of people don't realize is it's not easy being chief justice of Alabama," Hooper said. "You have a lot of responsibilities. You have to worry about being funded, and you have to make a lot of decisions."
Two large groups totaling about 200 people stood across Bainbridge Street, holding placards and banners and responding vocally to the complimentary speeches being made about Moore.
"I'm very much against Roy Moore and the bigotry and indigence he stands for," said Brandon Wallace, 21, a senior at Huntingdon College. "He represents a very archaic group which has a power hold over this state which needs to be eradicated."
Wallace joined other supporters of the Alliance for Civility and Tolerance, an anti-Moore group that stood quietly as the Christian Coalition conducted the rally.
On another street corner, members of the American Atheists were much more vocal. At one point, some of them got into heated face-to-face debates with Moore supporters.
Several candidates for statewide office handed out literature and buttons to those who attended the rally and then stood under the sweltering sun to listen to the speeches.
Republican gubernatorial candidate Tim James appeared moments before the rally started and shook hands as he waited for it to begin.
"This is the First Amendment," James said with a big smile as he looked around at Moore's supporters and opponents.
Spectators from the Tennessee Valley to Mobile Bay and neighboring states were up early Saturday to get to Montgomery to voice their opinions about Moore.
Ray Knisley of Atlanta held a sign urging everyone to say "No to Nazi Judges."
Asked if he considered Moore a Nazi, Knisley said: "Yes, I think probably his target is not Jews, but in essence, his nature is the same. His targets are people who are not like him and who do not toe the line."
But Robert Deakle of Mobile said those who showed up to rally against Moore were "the devils" and were headed for a "very warm place."
"Anybody who does not believe in God is going to hell," Deakle said. -- Danny Barnwell and Tina Seeborg of Decatur identified themselves as members of the "Skeptics," a group they described as being "closely related" to the American Atheists -- led at the rally by Larry Darby of Montgomery.
Several yards from the Decatur couple stood Kevin Cartwright of Montgomery, holding a placard proclaiming "Organists Against Moore." He said he plays the organ at a local church and is "openly gay."

Disease Proof
Dr. Fuhrman in world premiere of 'Fat, Sick, & Nearly Dead'
World Premiere of FAT, SICK & NEARLY DEAD
At Sonoma International Film Festival
Newswire: April 9, 2010 – Sonoma, California – Us & Us Media is excited to announce the world premiere of FAT, SICK & NEARLY DEAD at the 2010 Sonoma International Film Festival. Part road trip, part wellness manifesto, this feature length documentary is the uplifting story of two men whose chance meeting and struggle to overcome the same rare disease saves one life, and changes another for good. Across two continents and 9,000 miles, what emerges is nothing short of a miracle – an inspiring tale of healing and human connection.
100 pounds overweight, loaded up on steroids and suffering from a debilitating autoimmune disease, Joe Cross is at the end of his rope and the end of his hope. In the mirror he saw a 310lb man whose gut was bigger than a beach ball and a path laid out before him that wouldn't end well-- with one foot already in the grave, the other wasn't far behind. FAT, SICK & NEARLY DEAD is an inspiring film that chronicles Joe's personal mission to regain his health.
With doctors and conventional medicines unable to help long-term, Joe turns to the only option left, the body's ability to heal itself. He trades in the junk food and hits the road with juicer and generator in tow, vowing only to drink fresh fruit and vegetable juice for the next 60 days. Across 3,000 miles Joe has one goal in mind: To get off his pills and achieve a balanced lifestyle.
Dr. Fuhrman oversees Joe's medical care along the way and is featured throughout the film providing him with guidance, support, and encouragement.
While talking to more than 500 Americans about food, health and longevity, it's at a truck stop in Arizona where Joe meets a truck driver who suffers from the same rare condition. Phil Staples is morbidly obese weighing in at 429 lbs; a cheeseburger away from a heart-attack. As Joe is recovering his health, Phil begins his own epic journey to get well.

There will be a presentation of the film for all attendees, with a special guest appearance by Joe Cross, at Dr. Fuhrman's Health Getaway 2010.
This is a very entertaining film with high production value!! I was fortunate to see the private premier screening in New York and found myself laughing many times throughout the film! I highly recommend attending this if you are in the area as it has a great story line and leaves you with a huge smile at the end!
We live in Ireland. Will there be a way to see this film please?
This stuff really works. Juicing veggies and fruits. I have a great six pack all on a wholefoods plant paint diet. Never going back. Love the effects. Feel like a million bucks! Don't care about sweets or junk food anymore because this is all worth it.
so when will others be able to see this movie? I could use the inspiration!
So does he juice or does he blend? Juicing removes fiber which is an essential requirement in human nutrition. Removing it and consuming large quantities of juice is not without its negative consequences. A little might be fine but when asked, I always recommend avoiding juicing. Don't purchase a juicer. Get a high powered blender. It is an investment that you won't regret.
You can check the movie's official website: http://www.fatsickandnearlydead.com/
or Facebook page:
for updates on future screenings, etc.
Sam, juicing has its purposes. When additional nutrition is necessary and you can't eat all the nutrients you need (chronic or terminal illness) juicing is a great alternative.
This sounds very interesting, but fiction? Wish it were a true story.
Heidi, it is a true story - a documentary, not fiction.
When can I buy a copy? This is awesome.
Definitely a must see. I saw this documentary in a private screening while I was attending a total Health Immersion that Whole Foods sponsored. There I saw this documentary and met Joe Cross. Very inspiring to all of us that were in attendance. Dr. Fuhrman is an amazing Doctor!
I have lost 25lbs thus far, migrains gone, no longer pre-diabetic...feel and look better!
Hope anyone who has the chance to see this movie, goes and sees it...
Hi. Will you bring this movie to the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex?
I am a type 2 diabetic on meds is this safe for me to try??
You can watch this movie for free online through imdb and hulu!
I loved it for both the story and the message.

Avoiding Trouble With Your Plastic
While credit cards are a great convenience
because they allow you to make a transaction without cash, they can become white
elephants if left unchecked. Some common mistakes credit card users make with
their plastic include overspending, making late payments, and failing to read the fine print.
Overspending is often the biggest cause of credit card woes. A credit card is not extra money. It is money a user may or may not have in the future and it must be repaid. Many users also make late payments. Credit card companies routinely charge fees for late payments, which only serves to put the card user into further debt. Finally, there may be several hidden clauses in credit card contracts that increase your debt - so be sure to always read the fine print.
Avoid Overspending
Avoiding trouble with your "plastic" is simple, but not necessarily easy. Most people have an unspoken perception that owning a credit card means owning extra money. This is a fallacy that has led thousands of people towards bankruptcy. Credit cards are an alternative to cash, not an addition. So, don't overspend. It's really pretty simple ... if your monthly living expense budget is $2000, do not make purchases on your credit card over and above that $2000. Easy enough, right? The number one rule for credit card use is to establish a budget before using the card and always stick to that budget. If you have a rewards credit card (and repayment discipline), be sure to make all of your purchases on your card, always paying it off in full at the end of the billing cycle. That way, you reap all of the benefits of your credit card's rewards program without paying high interest fees.
Make Your Payments on Time
Every day you delay making your payment after the due date, the more it costs you. Interest rates can be as high as 20% per year, which only adds up more if you fail to make your payments. And, of course, there are late fees to contend with as well. To compound things, one late payment opens the window for the credit card company to jack up your interest rates even higher. At the very least, do not miss your monthly minimum payments each month. But you should never only pay the minimum. Every dollar paid over and above the minimum saves valuable money.
Paying Down Card Balances - A Great Investment!
If the APR on your outstanding card balance is 19%, just consider that extra $100 payment to the card issuer an investment -- an investment that just earned you 19%! For most people, aggressively paying down their credit card balances is the best investment they could possibly make, effectively eliminating those high interest finance charges the credit card companies are capturing from you just by paying down your balance.
Take Advantage of Balance Transfers
If your balance (amount owed + interest) is spiraling out of control, take advantage of balance transfer options. You can transfer your debt to a new credit card with a lower interest rate, at no (or minimal) cost - and save hundreds (or thousands) of dollars in the process.
Preventing Trouble from the Start
Of course, by taking a few simple steps, you can prevent trouble from happening in the first place. Here are some simple ways you can stay out of trouble with your credit card before you ever start using it:
1) Choose the right credit card - this is the first step in avoiding credit card trouble. Most credit cards seem alluring on the face - so look behind the scenes. Check on the policy of the credit card and the terms of your agreement. Does the credit card company charge you an annual fee? How much are they charging you? Plenty of credit cards today come with no annual fees, and would be the ideal option to choose.
2) Know your APR. The APR is the rate of interest that's applied to existing, unpaid balances. The higher the interest, the more you pay so try to find the card offers with the lowest rates of interest.
3) Research the interest free grace periods of various card offers. Some cards give you up to 45-day interest free grace period, whereby existing balances during that time do not generate any interest.
4) Does the reward feature measure up? How many points do they offer you for every dollar you spend? And, how many dollars are those points worth when you want to redeem them?
5) What are the other card benefits? Some credit cards partner with various merchants to offer more attractive benefits. These could include cash-back offers at malls, 0% fuel surcharges at the gas pump, discount vouchers every month, free access to airport lounges, cash advances with no transaction fee, free life (or health or accident or travel) insurance, theft protection (of up to a predetermined amount), etc. Choosing the card with the best benefits could save you a lot of money each month.
Looking for more information on how to avoid trouble with credit cards? We've provided more articles, tips, advice and resources below:
- Prevent and Repair Credit Card Debt - A credit card is a very delicate instrument because it requires a level of responsibility and financial maturity that not all consumers have. The following article describes ways for consumers to avoid building up credit card debt, and if necessary, methods to repair the damage already incurred from excessive credit card debt...
- Read the Fine Print - As anxious as you may be to sign on the dotted line on the credit card application so you can access your line of credit right away, there are a few things that cardholders should examine carefully first. Reading the fine print will help you understand all of the potential financial pitfalls and traps that might beset you as a credit card holder...
- Repair Your Credit Rating - Credit cards are the most accessible form of credit that one can obtain from a bank. But combining easy access with irresponsible credit card use can lead to a seriously damaged credit rating for consumers. If you have damaged your credit rating from credit card indiscretions, do not despair. There is life after credit woes ...

'Eating is an Agricultural Act' - Wendell Berry, farmer and writer
The Slow Food movement took root in 1986 when Carlo Petrini stood on the steps of the Piazza di Spagna in Rome to protest (armed with a bowl of penne) a MacDonald's being jackhammered into the 17th century marble. In his then sixty years, three breeds of milk cattle, four breeds of sheep and two breeds of donkey had become extinct. Of pasteurizing milk he says, "When you pasteurize milk you deprive it of it's soul, can't taste the breed, the grass the animal ate, if it came from mountain, hill, or valley. It doesn't defend people's health, just industry." Food production and distribution is responsible for 70% of the planet's destruction, and the demise of the world's farmers.
Just a few years ago farms on Martha's Vineyard were in trouble, farmers lived in fear of losing their land, farms and livelihood. Now markets are filled with organic produce, fresh Island eggs, both chicken and ducks; farms are selling their own pasture-raised meat, and raw milk can be purchased at one of the farms. MV is an ideal place for the Slow Food lifestyle, being an agrarian landscape with twenty-eight farms.
Monthly potlucks are a big part of the SFMV conventionality, members and nonmembers getting together to break bread, each person bringing a dish to serve six, including their own place settings and utensils, plus their drink, taking everything with them when they leave, a zero waste policy.
Last month's SF Potuck combined their philosophy with the ancient traditions of the Aquinnah Wampanoag Indian Tribe with a celebratory Harvest dinner at the Chilmark Community Center. Locally grown food from gardens, farms and the wild of the Vineyard were shared. Traditional Native dishes of journey cakes with cranberries, venison chili, sea bass with sage stuffing and Before Cow chowder were served. Real corn meal from the Sandwich Grist Mill was used for the authentic Journey Cakes. Made from corn then pounded into meal, it has a texture like sawdust which needs to be refrigerated or frozen. Small rich venison meatballs with a spoonful of cranberry sauce were absolutely mouthwatering.
Wampanoag's are hunters and gatherers and cultivated crops such as corn, squash, and beans, historically known as 'The Three Sisters'. Wampanoag people are close to the earth and were able to get food and clothing from animals that they hunted. Herbs and roots are used for medicines and preservatives for food. Living close to the ocean they rely heavily on fish like sea bass; bluefish; herring; clams; oysters; mussels; periwinkles; lobster and game for sustenance. Above all, they share what they have with others. A big clambake will feed the whole tribe. Much like the Potlucks which both the Wampanoag's and Slow Food hold for their 'tribes'.
Under the guidance of Kristina Hook-Leslie, Slow Food members foraged on tribal lands for sassafras bark, Queen Ann's Lace, rose hips and wild grapes – the leaves of which can be steamed and used for delicious recipes like wrapping sea bass. There used to be an abundance of natural ingredients to gather but like everything else these days aren't as prolific. One can't forage on tribal lands, unless with a Wampanoag. These natural things still grow Island wide, expertise is necessary however; choosing the wrong leaf or berry could be poisonous. Weather and what kind of season it will be can be foretold by foraging as well. Which way the leaves are turned, how hard berries are, this is a science that takes a lifetime and guidance to develop.
Tribal Elders grew up until about the age of eight with no electricity. Their formative years were spent gathering for meals; watching crops so birds didn't eat them and learning the expertise of foraging. Tribe members rarely shopped for food, instead grew it in their gardens or traded what they had with someone else; raised their own animals and gathered for themselves food abundant in Aquinnah.
After dinner the short film 'Sustainable Vineyard - 'Kristina Hook-Leslie foraging in Aquinnah' was screened. Chilmark's Liz Witham and Ken Wentworth of Film-Truth Productions shot this 8 minute short, which will be part of a feature-length film on sustainability. They also filmed this dinner along with the panel discussion afterwards. Cousins Kristina Hooks and June Manning graciously took questions for over an hour. There was great deal of interest in what it was like growing up a Wampanoag and what Gay Head was like before it was Aquinnah. This was a special opportunity for Vineyarder's to learn about their tribal neighbors and the little town at the tip of the Island.
Tribal Elder Kristina Hook-Leslie said of her life as a forger and the wisdom of it: "Going down-Island to buy food, that was not necessary. As children we had venison, ducks, rabbits, lobsters, seaweed, chickens and a family cow. Children were often tasked with picking blueberries, blackberries, chokeberries and cranberries, that was part of our job as children. You'd be sent out with a bucket to fill with mussels and that was dinner. You never took more than you needed and you used what you took."
Be responsible for your part in the planet and what's on your plate. Plant a garden. Have a compost heap if possible. Learn about Slow Food.

We love doing art projects with little kids, but sometimes the mess can be terrifying. Glitter and finger paints? Not near our Anthropologie rug, thankyouverymuch! We much prefer the look of this Finger Printing Art Set ($10), which is still several steps beyond doodling on paper but doesn't leave much opportunity for accidental destruction of property. Plus, if one of the kiddos gets a mark on our stuff, we'll know exactly who it was - we've got their prints!

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart in Bogus Backstage Behavior Rumor
The Sun can pun.
After that, the paper takes a nosedive.
Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are supposedly on the rocks, claims the paper, which argues that "away from the limelight the Hollywood stars' relationship is anything but love's young dream."
According to The Sun, while Pattinson and Stewart had chemistry on-stage at last night's MTV Movie Awards, "their behavior backstage told a completely different story."
Says a Sun source, "They were very lukewarm considering they are supposed to be this golden couple. It seems they are far hotter in front of the camera than off it."
In fact, claims this supposed source, "behind the scenes things seemed a little frosty."
Actually, what's ice cold here is the reporting.
Because what cameras caught backstage last night was the two Twilight stars holding hands and looking every bit like a couple, even away from the Gibson Amphitheater crowds.
Of course, The Sun has a spotty record when it comes to judging Stewart's public interactions.
After all, this is the same publication that once showed her with a "mystery man" and had zero clue it was Tom Sturridge – one of Pattinson's close friends and a very well-known actor in his own right.

Baseball's Bob Rosinski Named MCC Player of the Week
April 16, 2001
Chicago, Ill. - For the second straight week, a University of Illinois at Chicago baseball player has been named the Midwestern Collegiate Conference Player of the week as senior infielder Bob Rosinski (Wilmette, Ill./New Trier) collected the honor earlier today. Sophomore designated hitter Chuck Peters (Orland Park, Ill./Sandburg) earned the recognition last week.
Rosinski, who helped UIC to a 4-2 record last week, led the Flames with a .524 batting average and a slugging percentage of .714 as a starter in five outings. He also topped the squad with four doubles, seven runs scored and seven RBI while striking out just twice in 21 at-bats. Over the weekend, in UIC's four-game conference set at Wright State, Rosinski compiled a .471 average at the plate with two doubles, four runs driven in and four runs scored.
A member of the 2000 All-MCC Second Team, Rosinski has put together a team-best .421 batting average this season and also leads the Flames with 53 hits and 33 RBI. Additionally, he is tops on the squad with 17 multiple-hit games and 10 multiple-RBI outings while also putting together the team's longest hitting streak of the season at 18 games.
UIC (18-20), which is in second place in the MCC with a 6-2 record, owns a 12-1 record at home and it will look to improve upon that on Wednesday, April 18, when it hosts the University of Illinois at 6:05 p.m. The Flames will then get back to MCC action over the weekend for a four-game series at Butler, starting Friday afternoon at 3:00 p.m. in Indianapolis, Ind.

If they were the same thing, they would have the same name. Are they in the same category (unspeakable crimes)? Yep. Is the "I am above the law" defense bullsh#t? Yep, again.

Oh, are genocide and "torture" are the same thing? - better look them up in the dictionary. I guess we could just let the terrorist go to kill you, if that's what you want. Stupid comparison.

Gov. Paul LePage (R-ME) has proven that the Tea Party still lives under the delusion that they can get whatever they want by making mountains out of molehills.
Similar to the Tea Party's phenomenal overreaction to the amount of voter fraud in America, LePage has taken a page from Rick Scott by touting a study by the state department of Health & Human Services, which shows recipients of social programs like SNAP and TANF using money from these programs at places like bars, smoke shops, and strip clubs.
What LePage conveniently overlooks is the actual number of such questionable transactions. According to the Bangor Daily News, they account for 0.2% of the total money spent from these programs.
Paul LePage is hyping the findings anyway.
"Any amount of abuse in the system that takes away from the truly needy needs to be dealt with," a spokespoerson for LePage told the Daily News. "We're not uncovering anything new. There are always going to be bad actors out there. We're simply saying, 'We've got an eye on you.'"
According to LePage, the numbers are actually much larger than the study implies.
"This information is eye-opening and indicates a larger problem than initially thought," LePage said in a press release. "These benefits are supposed to help families, children and our most vulnerable Mainers. Instead, we have discovered welfare benefits are paying for alcohol, cigarettes and other things that hardworking taxpayers should not be footing the bill for."
Back in reality, however, the 0.2% rate of abuse is likely an exaggeration.
The Daily News notes that "the state does not track what is purchased in EBT transactions," and that "those transactions include purchases at the checkout counter and withdrawals from on-premises ATMs."
LePage cannot prove on paper that any benefits are being used to buy alcohol or cigarettes; only that they are being spent in locations where they can be brought.
The problem isn't that welfare recipients are abusing their benefits. It's that not enough poor people in Maine will starve to death before they have the chance to vote against him.

She is just so talented! Her acting skills and her great voice! She really deserves more credit for all that hard work she does. She should release her own CD. I'd definltely buy it!moreless

The Sweet Science (not the sport, but TSS.com) has been ablaze with talk/chatter/comments about Adrien "The Problem" Broner. It is 100% agreed upon that he takes his pre-fight and post-fight antics way too far. Even the most liberal of us cannot sit there, either by ourselves or with family and/or friends and say, after watching him grab himself more than Miley Cyrus and throw F-bombs around more than "Kid Chocolate" throws chocolate kisses to the crowd after a victory, "I really like this guy. He's a class act."
He hasn't done anything, er, Problematic lately. It's just that a recent thread on TSS, started by Skibbz on June 19, entitled, "Re: Adrien Broner-A Problem?" has already garnered dozens of responses covering eight pages—and still coming--as of this writing. Apparently, fans love speculating about Floyd Mayweather; discussing Manny Pacquiao; showing new love for Vasyl Lomachenko; and bashing Adrien Broner.
If Broner were in the WWE, he would unquestionably be a "heel"—a bad guy. However, in the WWE, it's all an act (sorry if I just burst a few bubbles). With bad-guy Broner, it's no act. What you see and what you get is what he is: a man-child who is 24 going on 14.
Broner thinks he's funny.
Broner thinks he's tough.
Broner thinks he's entertaining.
He's none of the above. If anything, he's crude, a punk and repulsive. He's been a champ in the ring and a top-rated chump outside of it.
I think it's safe to say (or write) that most of us would like to see Adrien Broner fight again very soon. The tougher and more-skilled the opponent, the more we'll like it. I think it's also safe to say (or write) that most of us have no desire—NONE!—of hearing Broner in his pre-fight and post-fight drivvle (that's a lot of words, a lot of nonsense and little substance.
So, what I am going to do, is send an open letter to the head of Showtime Sports, Steve Espinoza, before Broner's next fight. The letter will ask, very politely, to only show Broner's fight, but nothing more. I will ask him to refrain from doing pre-fight interviews, post-fight interviews and keeping the microphone away from Broner's mouth. We don't want to hear his potty-mouth, we don't want to hear him telling us he is going to be known as the best fighter in history and we don't need to hear him telling some groupie bimbette to "brush my hair."
Steve Espinoza should let us watch Adrien Broner fight.
We should not have to endure anything else from him until he grows up.
QUICK JABS: Next Saturday, young, gifted WBO Lightweight Champion Terence Crawford puts his title on the line against veteran Yuri Gamboa on HBO. It's the fourth straight weekend of world-class boxing action on television. This past Saturday was the Showtime card featuring Robert Guerrero v Yoshihiro Kamegai and V-Lo against Gary Russell. The week before was Chris Algieri v Ruslan Provodnikov. The week before that was Miguel Cotto v Sergio Martinez at Madison Square Garden. In case you haven't noticed, our sport is hot!
POUND-FOR-POUND: Just what does Pound-for-Pound mean? What is it? Pound-for-Pound is either a consensus list or our own personal list of who we think the best fighter in the world is if everybody were the same size and weight. Could Manny Pacquiao beat Wladimir Klitschko? Could Mikey Garcia beat Andre Ward? With that, here's my updated, fictitional list of the best Top-10 fighters in the world, starting with #10 and working up to #1:
10. Leo Santa Cruz
9. Miguel Cotto
8. Vasyl Lomachenko
7. Sergey Kovalev
6. Mikey Garcia
5. Gennady Golovkin
4. Wladimir Klitschko
3. Manny Pacquiao
2. Andre Ward
1. Floyd Mayweather
Whether or not you agree with the list doesn't matter. V-Lo at #8. Hey, it's my list. MINE! You have your lists. I have mine.
SANCTIONING FEE RUBLES: Ahh, leave it to the sanctioning bodies to find ways for promoters to make deposits into the sanctioning body's account. Only July 6, in Grozny, Russia, Ruslan Chagaev will face perennial contender Fres Oquendo. We use the term "perennial contender" for a guy who's been around a long time and who usually loses his big fights. Well, Chagaev will face Oquendo for what the WBA is calling a championship bout. In case you're keeping score, the bout is for the WBA's vacant "regular" heavyweight title. What is the "regular" heavyweight title? Is that like vanilla ice cream and vanilla "lite." And low-fat vanilla. And sugar-free vanilla? What is the the "regular" heavyweight champion? The "regular" heavyweight champion is a title for sale by a sanctioning body. It's money, in this case rubles. Lots of them. FYI. The WBA Heavyweight Champion, just the plain 'ol heavyweight champion, is a guy named Wladimir Klitschko. In June, 2009, Klitschko and Chagaev fought. Klitschko dominated, cut, dropped and battered Chagaev on the way to winning on a ninth-round TKO. So much for holding a WBA Heavyweight Title belt (should Chagaev beat Oquendo) while Klitschko is the real title holder. Titles for sale, anyone?
BOOKS & DOCS: There are so many boxing books and videos on the market now I am in boxing heaven. Here are a few I highly recommend:
"El Boxeo"—this one is a documentary on the legends of Hispanic boxing. Directed by veteran filmmaker Alan Swyer, this is a fight fans' collectible: From Alexis Arguello to Fernando Vargas, Swyer leaves nothing out. Roberto Duran, Wilfred Benitez, Julio Cesar Chavez, Ruben Olivares, Miguel Cotto, Carlos Palomino, Bobby Chacon, Canelo Alvarez and Oscar de la Hoya are just a few of the personalities and talent Swyer brings to your screen. Check it out online at elboxeothemovie.com.
"Typhoon Technique" is a book with both explanations and photos of training tips and boxing basics, written in masterful style by Vinny Furlani, along with former world champion Tracy Harris Patterson. It's a fun book to have, especially when you might be thinking of expanding your boxing horizons from the couch to the gym.
Then there's Steve Canton's "Tributes, Memories & Observations of the Sweet Science," with a foreword by Al Bernstein.This is a plethora of boxing stories and bios, put together by a lifelong boxing fan. It has 38 chapters and 358 pages of boxing info to sink your teeth into. I just got the book, and every morning, before leaving for the gym, I read another chapter. I can't put this book down. You'll see what I mean.
HERE & THERE, THIS & THAT: I keep hearing talk of two opponents being thrown in the direction of Manny Pacquiao. One is Robert Guerrero. The other is Chris Algieri. With Al Haymon advising Guerrero, is there any real possibility of matching "The Ghost" with Bob Arum-promoted Pacquiao? I'd say little chance. The better chance is Chris Algieri, the unbeaten slickster from Long Island, N.Y. Algieri is promoted by Joe DeGuardia's Star Boxing, and DeGuardia/Top Rank have no problem working together. Between the two fights, Guerrero would provide more fireworks, but most of the time those fireworks would be blowing up on his face. While there would be little fireworks with Algieri, there would be drama. That's because Algieri would keep the fight close and take it into the late rounds. His reach and speed may be a huge problem for Pacquiao, which will also be a huge problem for Arum. The safe fight would be Guerrero. The most logical and realistic fight will be Algieri. We'll have the answer soon…Comebacking Shannon Briggs, 42, looks to make it four straight KO's on his comeback when he takes on Raphael Zumbano Love in Oklahoma this weekend. Since launching his comeback last April, Briggs has knocked out all three opponents in the first round. Will another first-round ending come on Saturday? The 33-year-old Love is 34-7…The U.K.'s David Haye, recovering from shoulder surgery, is planning a comeback. Haye v Briggs would be a fun fight…Daniel Geale, who will face GGG in MSG on July 28, is talking tough. "Golovkin can be hit," says Geale. "I am going to hit him hard and I am going to hit him often." To that, GGG just replies, "Let him try!"…Might it be time for unbeaten Heather Hardy and Roberto Guerrero to get new trainers? Neither know the meaning of the word "Defense."
THIS DAY IN BOXING: This morning, I sat down and watched the first Joe Frazier-Jerry Quarry match with my wife, Roni. The bout was held on June 23, 1969, in Madison Square Garden.
I was there that day as a college kid, not yet in possession of either a press pass and still 19 years away from being handed my Commissioner's badge. I bought two $50 seats ($100 was a lot for a college kid back then!!!) to watch my favorite fighter, Joe Frazier, defend his share of the heavyweight title against "Irish" Jerry Quarry. I gave the usher $10 and he moved me and my first-time date down to ringside. I had wanted to take my girlfriend, but she had just broken up with me, so I took another girl instead. Well, what a fight it was, especially that first round. It's on Youtube. Watch it. You'll probably watch it a few times. It was kind of like a heavyweight version of Marvelous Marvin Hagler-Thomas Hearns. Nobody except Frazier could have kept up that pace, and he stopped Quarry in the seventh round. As for my date, she hated the fights. I never saw her again. My ex-girlfriend? Her name is Roni. She came back to me. She loves the fights. She married me. Goes to nearly every one with me. She sits in-studio while I do my show on SiriusXM. So, this morning, on the 45th anniversary of the Frazier-Quarry fight, which was Ring Magazine's "Fight of the Year," we watched the fight in its entirety.
"I can't believe I missed this fight," she said.
"Yeh, but you got to watch a lot more," I said, "and you got to become friends with both Frazier and Quarry.
"Sorry for breaking up with you," she said.
"Thanks for coming back," I replied.
This is brilliant, I enjoyed every word. So much content, all of it relevant.. I am looking forward to many more of these in the future, it's a must.
Great stuff !
Wonderful write up.
Great piece Commish, can't wait to read more of these.
Ditto everyone. The Commish has the strut of a thousand-and-one peacocks. Hehe! He rocks! Holla!
Thanks, guys. I've been given the green light by the guys in the ivory tower to give you Commissioner's Corner every Monday, so the next one is under six days away, as of this writing.

JFK wrote a book once, with ample succor from Ted Sorensen, titled Profiles in Courage (Sorensen never wilted when people accused him of being the true author, and countered that 'the author is the man that stands behind the written word.'). PIC won the Pulitzer Prize. Putting Klitschko 4th on the mythical P4P list is boxing's version of a profile in courage. P4P has NOTHING to do with crowd pleasing; it has to do with the dominance and the gap between a man and his respective opposition. I've seen lists here where Klitschko doesn't even warrant a spot in the honorable mention section that's thrown in as an afterthought. Very nice to see someone with gravitas recognize this.
I love the story about the Frazier fight. I hope you get a tally for that!
I would like to nominate Froggy for the next Mod. I like the cut of his jib.
Thanks, Domenic. I was wondering where you were going with the Profiles in Courage talk, then I realized. Yeh, it has always irked me that Wladimir Klitschko always seems to be omitted from the PxP lists. So, I decided to do my own. Kind of like: So There! Now he's got Kubrat Pulev coming up. Klitschko absolutely should be on everyone's Top-10 list...tR, I always remember June 23 when it rolls around as being the anniversary of Smokin' Joe v Jerry Quarry. Sitting there with my bored-to-tears date, I tried my best to get her to like what she was watching during the undercard, but couldn't. She even hinted around that we should leave before the start of the main event.
"BEFORE Frazier and Quarry fight???" I remember thinking. I was prepared to give her $75 for the cab ride home from NYC to Long Island. There was no way I was gonna' miss Frazier v Quarry.
Well, she reluctantly stayed, not understanding why I, along with nearly 17,000 others, were screaming for "these two men to keep hitting each other." Then and there, as beautiful as she was, Iknew it was our last date.
So, sitting on the couch, watching a video of Frazier-Quarry I on my big screen with my beautiful wife, I was transported back to MSG that June 23 evening. Side-by-side with my biggest fan, she was enjoying the event right along with me. Afterwards, while writing my column, she came up to me and apologized "for not being there with you that night."
"You were there," I said. "You were very much there."
She smiled. She understood.
It's always great watching the fights with your best friend.

I never fail to be awed when I come to this site. Its surreal to have Editor Mike talk directly to the movers and shakers of the boxing world and drop the interview right here on a daily basis as if it were routine as heating up a breakfast sandwich in the microwave yet he will respond to your email the same day without an ounce of pompous pretense.
Then we have Dino Da Vinci who is connected to the Boxing industry in a way that I have yet to fully understand. Is he a manager or a promoter? A man almost as mysterious as Al Haymon yet as connected as the Bobfather. I enjoy reading his comments about his various associations with the boxing elite and his peerless insights about the inner workings of the boxing community.
Combined with the best writing staff and forum on the web. You have a one stop web site that will completely satisfy your appetite for professional boxing journalism.
To top it off......the addition of the Commish (Randy Gordon) is truly the icing on the cake .
How cool is it to chat and hobnobb with a man who associates regularly ......
And I mean face to face ...with our most interesting boxing personalities.
Being a grandfather myself its inspirational to see a mature man functioning at the highest levels of journalism.
Every once in a while when I'm participating (and soon to be competing) at the poetry slam against college kids I ask myself if I'm too old.
But guys like The Commish and Bhop serve as an ever present reminder that success is more a function of desire than it is of age.
I'm thoroughly enjoying the article although I'm not in agreement with all of the opinions.
However today (at least for me) is not a day to debate. Its a day to celebrate the arrival of the Commish's excellent weekly article..
I will be looking forward to the weekly blogs and the discussion that ensues. Somebody pop open a bottle of champagne.
Rigondeaux! Rigondeaux!! Rigondeaux!!!
Yes, Shadow, yes!
Rigo, Rigo, Rigo!
-Randy G.
Lovely column, by the way.
I especially love the portion where you take us back through a personal experience. You have a vault of experiences to draw from and it would be so awesome to read that.
I see a viral boxing hit in the making! TSS making BIG moves! Now we just need a sweetly-worded bi-weekly Arne K. throwback story and this place is ready for some Red Smith or Pulitzer action!
And Go Rigo! I think this guy is Top 2 or 3, easy. Had this guy had the opportunity to turn pro in 2000, we may have been talking about the best fighter in history.
Had he stayed in Cuba, he would've had four gold medals. Unquestionably.
He's that special. I'm talking Mona Lisa, Leonardo da Vinci, Picasso, Michael Jackson special. In a lot of ways, it must suck to be him.
I had a thought this morning and I don't know why I didn't think of it earlier. Why doesn't Algieri give Postol his shot? It'll be two of the tallest 140'ers getting at each other and could make for a good boxing match. I dare to say Postol has fought the better opposition, and so deserves his chance. I say give it to him!
I am gonna' LOVE doing this column.
So much news I feel like a kid in a toy store at Christmas, being told "Pick all the toys you want!"
-Randy G.
Thanks for all the hard work. I wont argue Loma in your pound for pound list, because skill wise, it is very hard to argue that one, but I wanted to say my list would include Rigondeaux as well.
Here is a pound for pound question - where do we put a guy like say, Nonito Donaire. He was in the top 10, in some top 5s a little while back, and took a loss and dropped off. Im of the opinion that a loss is a loss, but Nonito is still so incredibly skilled that he might still deserve lower status (ranked 7-10).
@Miguel. I'm of the mindset it's possible to lose no ground coming off of a loss. How else would you explain the all-time P-4-P List? If a monster fights a fellow monster and loses by a whisker or even a few rounds, if he engaged the very best opponent, we don't need to banish him to ESPN7. Another reason I have no problem with Pacquiao vs Marquez V. It'll feature adjustments, slippage, etc., but more importantly, wipes out 'what if?' they had met after that. It'll remove the guessing.
I believe I'm alone in how I view knockdowns and losses, because,well, somebody poisoned it. (The well, that is).
Thanks Mr D. I appreciate that and think a lot of that in terms of MMA, more my specialty. Donaire was as high as #4 on some of these lists and I tended to agree. He is precise and his KO power is impressive, I once described the shot he hit Fernando Montiel with as being similar to the shot that hit Kennedy in Dallas.... you get my point, I like Donaire.
I rate Rigondeaux top 5 now so the loss to Rigondeaux might have sent Donaire back into the 6-10 pack, but off the list? I haven't seen them completely, but he has been back to winning again. It seems like a harsh assessment on Donaire. My list does not include Klitschko either, I just dont think a skillset comparison favors heavyweights.
I will be tweeking my Top-10 for Monday.
Hey, top-10 lists are difficult things to do. When 'ol Nat Fleischer, the founder of Ring Magazine, started his lists years ago, he didn't have all the guys who were yet to come to put on those lists: Ali, Frazier, Foreman, Duran, Sugar Ray Leonard, Marvin Hagler...on and on.
I wonder what Nat would have thought about the Klitschko Bros.?
-Randy G.
I cant wait to see your toop 10. ill throw mine out there now, to hopefully get the blood flowing..... Your right about the list being kind of personal, lol mine wont include Klitschko at all, I just dont feel a skill set comparison like this favors heavyweights.
1 Floyd Mayweather jr
2 Andre Ward
3 Guillermo Rigondeaux
4 Danny Garcia
5 Manny Pacquiao
6 Juan Manuel Marquez
7 Mikey Garcia
8 Timothy Bradley
9 Nonito Donaire
10 Miguel Cotto
I will have my "tweeked" slightly-changed version in my new column on Monday.
-Randy G.
Thanks for the props on the list. I wanted to put Lara, or Gamboa at 10, but I may be a little bit high on the Cubans so I avoided them. I put Cotto there mainly because I had Martinez in that spot, though he is old, up until his last fight, he deserved a top 10 spot IMO. He was coming down from a top 5 spot due to inactivity mainly. Your right that Cotto may be an honorable mention. B-Hop, though incredibly skilled is someone whose speed and athleticism at this age dont match up well with anyone on the list IMO, and he had his day. I love him and admire what he is doing, but I will disagree on him belonging on a 2014 list.
After this weekend, I might be tempted to but Terrence Crawford at 10 instead of Cotto. That win over Gamboa was very solid, he was bigger, meaner and more technical throughout the fight and I was very impressed.
Who will win the Sergey Kovalev vs Andre Ward fight?

Most of the books and texts I read about classification problems surrounding 4-manifolds which are closed and orientable (with a occasional side-track to open orientable 4-manifolds).
This is understandable when you look at it from a physics point of view, because most of the physics I have seen trust that we live in an orientable world.
But for me as a topologist, the non-orientable ones are equally important. Only there is not much about the classification. I have read something on fake structures on the $\mathbb{R}\mathbb{P}^4$, but that's about it (and it was hidden pretty well in a conference report).
My question is, are there structured efforts been done (or going on) for the non-orientable (closed, to keep it simple) classification theory of 4-manifolds, as we see for the orientable cases (i.e. possible smooth structures on them, etc)? Can someone give me some references? I know of Markov's theorem from which it follows it is idle to get a total classification.

Mark Madden interviewed CM Punk on Wednesday and asked him about being one of the few top guys in WWE that's there every week. Madden asked him if it sucked or if he wanted to be there every week. Below is Punk's response:
"If I didn't want to be there every week, I wouldn't be there every week. And I'm the only guy that says that. The Miz will go out there and say, 'no it's great having these guys back and blah, blah blah' because, you know, I truly believe he thinks he has to say that.
"The honest reality of it is you bust your ass for 365 days of the year and there's other people that come in and don't work as hard and maybe get paid the same amount of money.
"So to me, as a business man, it just makes me look at it and go, 'OK that's the deal I need to get.' I need to get that deal where I work 15 days a year. You know what I mean? It makes me work harder though and dammit that's going to burn me out."

Viewers can expect a lot of drama from the "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" reunion show, especially from one of the show's most controversial and outspoken stars, Brandi Glanville. In a video interview with OK! Magazine, posted on Monday, March 17, Brandi admitted that she's still emotionally drained from filming the reunion, which took place in early February.
She said that contrary to reports, it didn't get so bad that one of the housewives stormed off. Rehashing everything for a whole day and night though was still a bit too much however.
"I'm still exhausted from it, like emotionally drained. Um, lots of yelling and lots of crying and no one stormed off, it's just not true...We worked on our relationships for 12 hours on a couch, 12 hours, straight, one 20 minute lunch break, 12 hours! It was hell," she said.
She also revealed that the reunion was particularly emotional because a lot of the housewives hadn't even talked to each other after they finished filming the season because "there was bad blood."
After filming the reunion, Brandi tweeted about how exhausted she was, giving thanks to her friends who were there to help her get through the day.
"Im exhausted ! @JenniferGimenez @PeterMarkSalon @markhasche saved my life today! Goodnight ! Thats all," she tweeted.
Filming the reunion was so hard that it even made her want to get comforted by her parents.
"I want my mommy my daddy and my ..,. Gaygent- goodnight," she added.
How do you think Brandi Glanville was this past season?
Part one of the "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" reunion airs tonight, at 9 p.m. ET on Bravo.

Hachi Japanese Restaurant at Red Rock Hotel and Casino. Service was good and the waiters were friendly. Food was good and arrived fast. They also have 38 dishes for under $8. In fact, most of our dishes were from "38 for under $8".
Tempura was crispy. Fried rice, seabass cake, and beef kushiyaki were very tasty. But the chicken dumplings were pretty bad. So don't order dumplings.
And the desserts... the beignets were great, each one was pretty small, but I can guarantee that you'll have some room for these no matter how full you are.
This was our first time ordering fondue at a restaurant, and it was very good, too. Also it's fun.

caramelized shallot teriyaki
Hachi Vegetable Fried Rice $7
Steamed Chicken Dumplings $7
Pan-Fried Chilean Seabass Cake $7

Jan. 20, 2012
STILLWATER, Okla. – The Arizona State University wrestling team faced its first true road test of the season on Friday, falling to the top-ranked Oklahoma State Cowboys, 33-6, at the Gallagher-Iba Arena in Stillwater, Okla.
The Sun Devils, who had only taken part in tournaments or neutral site duals this season, dropped to 5-8 on the season with the loss and are now 0-1 in true road contests.
The Cowboys (7-0, 2-0 Big 12) roster, which packed with nine starters who are currently ranked in the top-18 in the nation at their respective weight class, was just too much for the youth of Arizona State. ASU (5-8, 1-1 Pac-12) started seven true or redshirt freshmen in front of the crowd of 2,088 at Gallagher-Iba Arena.
Nathan Hoffer, one of those redshirt freshman, looks to have overcome a tough early winter and showed why he'll be someone to keep an eye on in the coming years with an upset of 12th-ranked Josh Kindig at 141 pounds to bring ASU back to within 9-3 after losing the first two matches by bonus-points.
Hoffer overcame an early takedown by Kindig before adding two takedowns and a two-point nearfall in the first to take the 7-3 lead after one and never looked back en route to a 10-4 decision.
At 149 pounds, redshirt freshman Joel Smith gave No. 2 Jamal Parks all he could handled for the better part of two of the three periods as he led 3-2 at one point and only a two-point nearfall at the buzzer dropped him behind 6-3 heading into the third frame. Unfortunately, Parks was able to take over from there in dropping Smith in a 15-5 major decision, though the Sun Devil frosh showed a lot of character in the bout after having missed the better part of the past month with injury.
ASU's Hans Rasmusson was able to keep No. 12 Albert White to just a decision at 157 pounds, falling 7-3, but OSU's No. 18 Dallas Bailey would go on to drop true freshman Rush Hall in a 19-4 technical fall in the ASU youngster's first ever collegiate match at 165 pounds.
No. 5 Chris Perry defeated ASU senior Eric Starks in an 11-1 major decision before redshirt freshman Kevin Radford got ASU back on the board with a 13-9 decision over Zach White at 184 pounds to bring the score to 25-6.
Redshirt freshman Chace Eskam dropped a technical fall to OSU's No. 10 Blake Rosholt in just the third collegiate dual of his career at 197 pounds before No. 3 Alan Gelogaev topped ASU's ninth-ranked Levi Cooper at heavyweight, 6-1, to wrap up the match for the Cowboys.
ASU will have tomorrow off before heading to the second part of their Oklahoma road trip on Sunday, where the seem will take on the #11 Oklahoma Sooners in Norman, Okla., at 2 p.m. CST.
