Sean Lowe and Catherine Giudici from "The Bachelor" on ABC are quickly approaching their wedding day, but Sean shared another important day with his future bride over the weekend. On Sunday, Jan. 12, Sean shared a photo of Catherine Giudici. He captioned the photo with the following:
This brings my heart so much joy. Got to watch my dad baptize @catherinegiudici this morning.
Catherine also shared a photo of herself with Sean's father. It will be Jay Lowe who will marry the couple when they have their wedding later this month. Catherine has become quite close to Sean's family since their engagement.
In previous interviews, Jay has shown his support of the couple, and Catherine has spent more time with Sean's family in recent weeks. Sean's mother has been involved in the wedding planning. Religion has always been an important part of Sean's life, and the couple did decide to wait for their wedding to add the physical part of their relationship into things.
Catherine is definitely ready to become Mrs. Sean Lowe though. On Sunday night, she shared the following on her Twitter:
Two weeks from this moment, I'll be in my dress about to become Mrs. Lowe. #countdownlowedown.
Catherine has not hidden her happiness when it comes to her relationship with Sean Lowe. She is definitely ready to walk down the aisle, and she has less than two weeks to wait now.
"The Bachelor" wedding will air on ABC on Jan. 26.

Mexican-Spiced Sweet Potatoes
Mexican-Spiced Sweet Potatoes
When is a yam not a yam? When it's a sweet potato. Official classification may be crazy, but it doesn't really matter when something tastes this good. The theme of the dish is sweet-meets-heat. The non-yam yams and cinnamon bring the sweet; chipotle powder and cayenne pepper add the heat. It's easy, irresistible, and entertaining-friendly too. You can roast the potatoes up to 3 days in advance. On the day of the event, remove the skins, mash the pulp, and add the other ingredients. Just before serving, microwave to warm. Delicious with pork or poultry. Tip: If you don't have chipotle powder, add cayenne pepper little by little until you reach your threshold.
Per serving: 172 calories, 0 g total fat, 0 g saturated fat, 0 mg cholesterol, 40 g total carbohydrate, 5 g dietary fiber, 3 g protein, 21 mg sodium.

What He and She Makes
According to a survey by the Institute for Women's Policy Research, 19 percent of employees' workplaces formally prohibit discussing wages and salaries. 31 percent said it's discouraged. That survey's analysis pointed out that the wage gap in the federal government tends to be narrower than the private sector's. Higher earners in the private sector sit atop a much higher range and tend to be mostly men. Often, you have to get to litigation to even find out about discriminatory pay. "Women will come to us articulating pregnancy or promotion discrimination claims, disparate treatment, hostile work environment – anything but pay discrimination," Katherine Kimpel, a lead attorney on the case, says.
The lottery is Equal
The lottery is Equal Opportunity, what personnel trash engage in is called bigotry and dishonesty. EOE -l/i/e.
Personnel trash determine what employees should be paid, and naturally they put themselves at the top of the pay scale despite the fact that they are the least productive/most counterproductive of all employees.*
*Personnel trash produce lawsuits against the corporation and the need for more laws concerning their shitty behavior.
*They don't want to get their expensive clothes dirty, sweaty, or wrinkled.
*They order drug tests for job applicants but don't get tested themselves despite the fact that they use judgment (POOR judgment -- their integrity has been legislated for them -- EOE-l/i/e) in their jobs.

If good things come in groups of three (or something like that), than great things must come in groups of four. That's just simple math. Jane Iredale Quad Bronzer ($46) (shown in Sunbeam) can be used as four individual blush shades, or even as eyeshadow. But when blended together it can create a dimensional sun goddess glow all year long.

Update 7/15/14: Yukon has been rescued!! The following information was shared with the National Dog News Examiner:
Yukon update~ After spending 5 weeks in a lonely concrete cage at our local shelter, Yukon has finally blown that popsicle stand and is headed north to Chicagoland Lab Rescue!
On Wednesday, the Facebook page Kentucky Animal Relief Fund reached out to find help for a senior Basset hound mix who is impounded at the Louisville, Ky., Metro Animal Services facility.
The elderly dog, named "Yukon," was picked up as a stray and he is growing increasingly depressed in his lonely kennel run. The following information was posted about Yukon on Wednesday:
He has been at the shelter for a month and has become very depressed and is not eating well.
I went to visit him today and he seemed very depressed and lethargic. He just laid there on his blanket and had no interest in getting up.
He appears to be 12-13 years old and weighs approximately 45 pounds. Shelter staff reports that he walks very slowly due to arthritis. He desperately needs out of the shelter.
If Yukon had an owner, that person has not come forward to claim him and it seems that the tired senior is now losing hope. Please take a moment to network Yukon's information and help him find a loving home to spend the rest of his life in.
- Petfinder link for Yukon here
- Identification number A528478
- Please contact LMAS at (502) 473-PETS (7387) for more information about Yukon.

LOS ANGELES (LALATE EXCLUSIVE) – If "Vanderpump Rules" looks "The Hills" 2.0, there might be a reason. Lisa Vanderpump teamed up with Lauren Conrad's former executive producer of "The Hills" to deliver "Vanderpump Rules" for Bravo, LALATE can report.
Since its debut, "Vanderpump Rules" has been the subject of debate. Did Bravo perceive the show as an updated version of the hit MTV series "The Hills" with Lauren Conrad during production, or before filming even started? Earlier last month, Bravo published a story called "Why 'Vanderpump Rules' Is Better Than 'Hills'". Bravo added "Anyhoo, rather than write it, we thought we'd present a visual argument to plead our case of Vanderpump being a new, improved and steamier version of The Hills".
But was Bravo's similarity to MTV programming accidental? LALATE can report that, of Pump Rule's six executive producers, one name stands out: Bill Langworthy. According to IMBD, Bill Langworthy has no prior history with Bravo until "Vanderpump Rules".
Rather, Bill Langworthy has years of credits on MTV series. He served as executive and supervising producer on "The Hills" from roughly 2007 to 2009. He also has experience with spinoffs. Langworthy was the executive producer of "The City", "The Hills" spinoff from 2009 to 2010.
While Bravo has yet to reveal to news when Langworthy was brought into the production, Bravo has said of Vanderpump Rules "It's hot. It's the Hills 2.0. Stassi Schroeder…the new Kristin Cavallari, but even more manipulative." Of course, Cavallari told news once "The Hills" ended that it was entirely fake.

Make your own suitcase out of a cardboard cereal box to store your favorite travel games, books, playing cards or art supplies. Create fastening straps for the box with matching ribbon and magnetic strips. Cover it with decorative paper in your favorite colors. Make a carry-along cardboard suitcase to use on trips or make one to give away as a gift.
Step 1
Cut along the bottom, right and top folds of the front of the cereal box. Leave the left side still attached to the box as that is the hinge for the suitcase.
Step 2
Cut two 2-inch-by-1/2-inch slots out of the right side panel of the cereal box. Space the slots 1 inch away from the center line of the right side panel.
Step 3
Apply an even layer of decoupage paste to the outside of the box, one panel at a time. Place decorative paper onto the paste and smooth it out with your hands to remove any air bubbles.
Step 4
Cut a 5-inch-by-1/2-inch-long strip of sturdy cardboard. Apply an even layer of decoupage paste onto the strip, then cover it with the decorative paper.
Step 5
Bend the strip and insert the ends into the two slots you cut on the right panel of the box. Fold the ends up against the right panel and tape them in place with duct tape.
Step 6
Cut two pieces of 1-inch ribbon to fit around the box to create fastening straps for the suitcase. Cut two 1-inch-long pairs of magnet strips. Glue them onto the ends of the ribbon with hot glue.

March 23, 2002
Brazilian Olympians Carolina and Isabela Moraes ended their senior season in style by helping the Ohio State Buckeyes to the school's 22nd overall title at the U.S. Collegiate Synchronized Swimming Championships in Norton, Mass. In the process, the pair that finished 12th in the 2000 Olympic Games for Brazil also earned their fourth consecutive duet and trio gold medals. The Buckeye twins utilized lengthy underwater hybrids to win duet gold with a final score of 96.333. Stanford's Erin Dobratz and Lindsey Wigginton - both members of the U.S. National Team program - finished second at 95.000. The Moraes teamed up with Mary Hofer of Spring Valley, Calif. to win the trio's fourth Collegiate gold with a score of 97.333. Stanford's top trio of Dobratz, Wigginton and Norris finishd a point back at 96.333. Carolina Moraes and Stanford's Norris created a first occurrence of their own in the sport of synchronized swimming. Moraes and Norris earned a perfect tie of 95.833 in the solo final to share the event's gold medal. Norris led in technical merit by two-tenths, but Moraes led in artistic impression by two-tenths. In routine scoring, technical merit is weighted to 50 percent, and artistic impression to 50 percent. When the math was completed, both athletes earned gold.
The unprecedented, and previously impossible, tie is due to new scoring rules affecting the balance of technical merit and artistic impression score weighting instituted by FINA, the sport's international governing body, in July of 2001. Under the old rules, the technical merit score would have taken precedence had a tie occurred. In that situation, Norris would have captured the gold and Moraes the silver.
There was no tie in the team event, however, with Ohio State capturing gold with a score of 98.167. Swimming for Ohio State were Hofer, Victoria Bowen, Suzanna Hyatt, Kim Lester, Isabela Moraes, Beth Kreimer, Lauren Marsh, and Kristin Price.
The overall title is Ohio State's third consecutive, and 22nd overall title in the 26th year of the championships. Top athletes now advance to the U.S. National Championships and 2002 U.S. National Team Trials, April 18-20 at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio.
Host Wheaton (Mass.) College's Beth Percy finished a strong fifth in the solo final with a score of 88.333. The sophomore from St. Louis teamed with fellow St. Louis native Jamie Sallier for eighth in duet with a mark of 85.834. Wheaton was the only Division III University among a host of Division I schools to qualify for the finals in any event.
Wheaton's "Batman" routine finished eighth in the team final with a mark of 87.750. Swimming for Wheaton was Percy, Sallier, Blair Feldman, Bevin Hughes, Elizabeth Maga, Jamie Olken, and Emily Padow.
More than 200 athletes from 22 universities were on hand competing for collegiate national titles in the solo, duet, trio and team events. The championships are an open-class meet, combining competition for NCAA Divisions I, II and III, plus NAIA schools.

Yes we love summer because it means beach, pool and the sun, but exposure to those three can lead to hair issues. Mario Russo, owner & lead stylist of Mario Russo in Boston has shared his tips on how to fix flat, flaky, greasy, dried out hair.
Problem: Itchy and Flaky
Fix: Allow the oils in your hair to build up by not shampooing for 3 to 4 days. During that time brush daily with a boar bristle brush, as well as massage your scalp; this will distribute the oil all around instead of keeping it in a concentrated area. When you next shampoo reach for products that contain ingredients such as these: cocoa butter, shea butter, rosemary and chamomile, try Dove Dry Oil Shampoo. If you feel compelled to wash daily use a product that combats dryness such as Bumble and Bumble's Tonic Lotion with its mix of vitamins, tea tree oil, and herbs.
Problem: Faded hair color
Fix: Try an over the counter or in-salon gloss treatment, which will boost your color and add shine. Products such as John Freida's Colour Refreshing Gloss are more affordable than getting your color redone and can help to extend the time between your salon visits.
Problem: Frizz
Fix: Vitamin E or Argon oil is extremely beneficial when it comes to taming frizz and flyways, plus can add shine. If you're on the go when frizz starts to rear its ugly head, try applying a little bit of moisturizer or face cream to your ends that contain these ingredients.
Problem: Greasy
Fix: Dry shampoo or a product like Bumble and Bumble's Hair Powder—which comes in different shades will soak up excess oils. Spray the problem areas (10-12 inches away), let dry and then comb through.
Problem: Blemishes
Fix: Bangs may look great but the irritation from the products used to keep them in place can lead to unwanted breakouts. Let your face breathe by pinning back your fringe at bedtime. When using product, simply apply a small amount to a fine tooth comb and brush it through.
Problem: Flathead
Fix: Humidity can cause your hair to go limp. When flat hair happens, in addition to using a volumizing shampoo, take a boar bristle brush and some hairspray and begin to lightly tease hair (first, moving the brush down in the same direction and then up in the same direction several times) at the crown of the head. This will add an instant dose of volume and allow you to keep your style in place.

Amps are obviously going to be an integral part of a player's journey when it comes to Sunset Overdrive. They are going to help players take down more enemies, especially those that will present a more considerable challenge for players.
Sunset Overdrive has already had a few Amps revealed already, and another new one was just introduced yesterday. Sunset Overdrive Community Manager Brandon Winfrey talked about a brand-new Amp that players will be able to acquire, once they've earned it of course.
"[Scorched Earth] is an epic Amp that produces molten lava blasts from the areas you walk," Winfrey said.
Ah yes, Les Grossman would be very proud of this new Amp. If you've seen the clip from the movie Tropic Thunder, then you're picking up what we're layin' down. If you click the link, be aware there is adult language, see 2:10 of it for the reference.
Amps and all of your artillery in Sunset Overdrive will be most effective when your Style Meter is at its highest point, so be sure to get that meter up to make your enemies really burn. Sunset Overdrive has many, many inspirations from other preceding media, that much is clear, but it'll be interesting to see what new precedents Sunset Overdrive sets when it launches in Oct.
One guess at what people will find very memorable are the respawn animations. From what we've seen so far, those have got to be some of the funniest tidbits we've found in Sunset Overdrive's available footage. Get ready to Scorch some Earth when Sunset Overdrive launches on the Xbox One Oct. 28.

Game of the Day: Gillingham 0 SAFC 4
by Ashley Houghton
Stewart hits treble at Priestfield.
11th September 2004
Sunderland claimed their first away win of the season in emphatic style as a Marcus Stewart hat-trick downed Gillingham 4-0 at the Priestfield Stadium.
Stewart's treble, along with Stephen Elliott's strike, earned Mick McCarthy's side only their second win of the season, though they would go on to win the Championship by seven points come the end of the campaign.
The visitors were ahead after just four minutes as Stewart reacted first to Elliott's saved effort, and was left the simple task of sliding the ball home from close range for his fourth goal of the season.
Sunderland's lead was doubled on the quarter-hour as Julio Arca fed McCartney whose classy cross was met by a spectacular Ellliott diving header, which gave Steve Banks no chance.
McCartney was again the provider for the Black Cats' third on 19 minutes; the Northern Ireland international whipped a fierce low cross which looked to be handled by a Gills defender, but dropped for Stewart who gleefully walloped the ball past Banks to make it 3-0.
Stewart grabbed his third after the hour mark as Leon Johnson's back-pass fell short of Banks and Stewart raced clear before sliding the ball past the advancing Gillingham keeper right in front of an ecstatic travelling support.
Sunderland: Poom, Wright, Breen, Stephen Caldwell, McCartney, Whitehead, Robinson (Oster, 72), Whitley, Arca, Elliott (Lynch, 87), Stewart (Johnson, 75).
Subs not used: Collins, Myhre.

I think the most important place to carry is at home. If you don't carry anyplace else, carry at home.
This is a discussion on I stopped carrying at school/work, restaurants, why I think my NM CCW was waste of $ within the Concealed Carry Issues & Discussions forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Originally Posted by MP9NewMexico Hey guys, Very disappointed to report that I've stopped concealed carrying at the three places I feel most vulnerable: work, school, ...
I think the most important place to carry is at home. If you don't carry anyplace else, carry at home.
The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety), by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary. by H. L. Mencken
I can understand being disappointed in being unable to carry in certain places after having spent the money for the permit, and, the permit may be useless to you in your situation, but I'm having a tough time following the "may as well just sell my gun" logic. Sometimes criminals visit peoples homes as well as the restaurants they frequent. I rarely "carry" in public anymore, but I'd never deprive myself of access to a firearm even if it was only at home.

How about you volunteer with your local police auxiliary, get an official "good guy" card, and then stop worrying about it?
The number of people killed because they didn't have "enough gun" is dwarfed by those who had none at all. Get a gun you will always carry, and add more capability as you grow.
While I certainly understand where you are coming from, as I don't like going against rules either, the thing to always remember is that the BAD GUYS DO NOT FOLLOW THE LAWS, so it is necessary to be prepared to defend your life if/when necessary, no matter what. Bad Guys like to catch people when/where they are least expecting it and only where they think they have the upper hand. I even carry while in church! As some have pointed out, CCDW is not just for guns. There are other options and something is better than nothing at all, if you don't want to risk carrying a gun. I especially liked the previous post stating "it is better to be judged by 12, than carried by 6"
I'm not a lawyer but it looks like you're reading the law wrong it says the UNlawful carry you're lawful it has to sell 60% or more of it's sales in alchol or your legal and it must be posted at every entrance etc.....
I would rather live my life as if there is a God,
And die to find out there isn't, than live my life
As if there isn't, and die to find out there is.
God Bless
Victim kills teen robber on trail, police say Thugs prey on the old and defenseless. I hope it never happens to you but if it does you may not get a second chance to arm yourself. I would rather have my CC and not need it than not have it and need it.
I don't know about you, but in my life there's a lot more to do out there than just go to school, eat at restaurants that are more bars than restaurants and worry about what happens at my work if some idiot goes bonkers and decides to start killing folks...
If it was me; I'd stow the pistol in a vehicle safe while at school, dump the bar scene altogether, and find a way to carry in deep cover that won't give yourself away and go about your life. Don't break the law, but don't be ashamed to want to live a full life with, or without your defensive tools whatever that may be. It's your choice how you choose to proceed, but IMO, being armed some of the time is far better than not being armed all the time. Giving up on it altogether is not the best answer IMO, and knives are neat, but not at ten feet. A little humor to end with.
Stay safe out there.
The amendment passed July 2010.

Cranberry-Chili Cheese Spread RecipeRead Reviews Be the first to add a review
- 2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
- 1 can (14 ounces) whole-berry cranberry sauce
- 1 can (4 ounces) chopped green chilies, drained
- 1 green onion, sliced
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- Assorted crackers
- Place cream cheese on a serving plate. In a small bowl, combine the cranberry sauce, green chilies, onion, lime juice and spices. Spoon over cream cheese. Serve with crackers. Yield: 14 servings.
Reviews for Cranberry-Chili Cheese Spread
"The perfect blend of sweet and spicy and it looked beautiful on the serving platter. I made the topping the day before to give the flavors more time to blend. Delicious."
"I have made this several times, and it is a big hit. It is best to make the cranberry mixture ahead of time...more flavor. Wait until ready to serve, then spoon over an 8 ounce block of cream cheese, on a fancy plate. Very festive. I would not recommend blending the cream cheese in with the cranberry mixture...it would look disgusting."
"This sounds perfect for thanksgiving. If you keep the cream cheese and cranberry mixture separate as the recipe states does the cranberry mixture make the cream cheese runny? Any help is appreciated as I am making this Thursday."
"thanks to chocoloco I did beat softened cream cheese and then incorporate other ingredients.garnished with chopped roasted and salted pistachios. everyone at sunday football loved it."
"Have made this twice now since November and everyone loves it.First served this to my fellow teachers at a team planning and they all asked for the recipe.Second time, at my Christmas Day buffet where out of town family members, non-cranberry lovers, asked for the recipe.It's a keeper!"

Watch: Iran rips off Modern Family, gets rid of gay characters
US sitcom Modern Family has been given a reboot by producers in Iran. The unauthorised version of the cult comedy is being made by the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting.
The storylines are almost identical to its American counterpart – the only difference – gay couple Cam and Mitch have been written out of the show and replaced with a son and daughter-in-law – no doubt more in keeping with Iran's conservative culture.
The show, called Haft Sang has not be authorised by 20th Century Fox, who recently signed deals for the rights to adapt Modern Family to producers in Chile and Greece.

Rated 3 out of 5 by 3 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Smiles for Miles Cute, functional, great purchase! Overall, the table is great, it's stylish, cute. Mine wobbles a little bit but I think it's my fault (I broke one of the screws off when putting it together so, had to use another screw which was slightly off from what was provided). March 9, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by Kim Looks even better in person We ordered this table online and are very pleased. It looks nicer in person than in the online photos. The only con is that since it isn't one solid piece (which would make it 10 times more expensive) it's slightly wobbly. I like the 2 levels it offers for storage and display. Looks and functions wonderfully in our very small living room. January 5, 2011
Rated 1 out of 5 by joni Good luck assembling!!! We are still trying to get it together! The cheap screws break, nothing lines up, and it's taking hours to put together. We may have to return it. December 2, 2011

SEATTLE- No. 4/3 Stanford used a strong second half to pull away from Colorado on Friday afternoon, notching a 69-54 victory in the quarterfinal round of the Pac-12 Tournament.
The Cardinal (29-2, 17-1 Pac-12) received double-doubles from Chiney Ogwumike (19 points, 11 rebounds) and Mikaela Ruef (10 points, 16 rebounds) while Lili Thompson added 16 points and Bonnie Samuelson 15.
Despite scoring a season-low 21 points in the first half, Stanford bounced back to outscore Colorado 48-31 over the final 20 minutes.
Seeking its seventh straight Pac-12 Tournament title and 11th overall, Stanford overcame 35.6 percent shooting thanks to converting 21-30 from the free throw line compared to Colorado's 6-9 clip.
Colorado (17-14, 6-12 Pac-12), which was held to just 33.3 percent shooting, was led by Brittany Wilson's 16 points and Arielle Roberson's game-high 17 rebounds.
Ogwumike, who scored 13 of her 19 points in the second half, gave Stanford the lead for good after knocking down only her third three-pointer of the year to spark a 16-2 scoring run.
Colorado led 23-21 at halftime, as both squads struggled from the field. The Buffaloes made 27.6 percent while the Cardinal was limited to 24.1 percent.
Stanford next faces the winner of Arizona State and USC on Saturday at 6 p.m. in the semifinals.
More details to follow.

In a battle of undefeated teams, ninth-ranked University of Northern Iowa wrestling knocked off No. 4 University of Oklahoma, 19-17, at McCasland Field House in Norman, Okla. Sunday afternoon.
It was the first time the UNI Panthers had defeated a Top Ten team in a decade (that team being Iowa State, in 2004).
The UNI Panthers lept to a quick 12-0 lead by winning the first three matches… but the Sooners bounced back. Each team could claim victories in five matches; each squad also put bonus points on the board in two of their wins. Oklahoma got major decision victories from 2013 NCAA champ Kendric Maple and Andrew Howe at 149 and 174 pounds, respectively… while Northern Iowa got a major from Ryan Loder at 184, and a fall from 141-pounder Joey Lazor, providing a critical difference in the team point tally.
"It was a good team win," UNI head coach Doug Schwab said. "We're going to feel a little bit good about ourselves, but not for very long. We have a big turnaround for us Friday with Missouri and we hope to have a huge crowd for it."
By contrast, Sooner head coach Mark Cody was understandably disappointed with the outcome.
"Sometimes it takes courage to go out and attack how we ask you to, and I didn't see it today," said Cody. "I think they (UNI) got some bonus points where we didn't expect them to get them. I was really surprised even with the closer matches that we had."
With the win, Northern Iowa is now 6-0 overall, and 3-0 in the Mid-American Conference; Oklahoma drops to 7-1 for the season, but remains 2-0 in the Big 12.
Match Results

Strange-but-fun facts:
- Two wrestling programs with the name Panthers scored upsets Sunday. In addition to the Northern Iowa Panthers edging Oklahoma, the University of Pittsburgh Panthers beat Oklahoma State.

Striking beauty Laurel Pantin in a hat that is perfect for the weather New York had this past week. I'm not good with hats, but I have a knitted one from Acne that I forgot to bring from Norway so I haven't really used anything to keep warm except for my genius knitted scarf/hood that I got a few years back at Marc Jacobs. My goal for next winter will be to find a good hat, hopefully I'm lucky and find something similar like hers.

On Sunday, when BBC Radio 1 unveiled the latest edition of the U.K. Top 40 Singles chart, Rihanna fans — and, eventually, Rihanna herself — noticed something, well, odd.
Debuting at #20 on the chart was RiRi's brand-new, somewhat salacious new single, "S&M," which had been re-named "Come On." Apparently, no one had alerted Rihanna about the change, and she took to Twitter to express her displeasure, vowing that she would figure out who was responsible for the re-titling.
As it turned out, nobody seemed to know. On Monday, when MTV News contacted the British-based Official Charts Company — responsible for compiling the weekly U.K. Top 40 — a spokesperson for the organization told us that she wasn't even aware of the change but added that, on the OCC's version of the chart, the song's title remained unchanged.
Almost immediately, the attention shifted to the BBC (who did not respond to MTV News' request for comment), and late Monday, a representative for the broadcaster finally spoke up, telling England's Metro newspaper that it was actually Rihanna's label, Island Def Jam, that was behind not only the "S&M" name change, but an edited version of the song, which eliminates all mentions of "sex," "chains" and "whips."
"During daytime hours, as younger audiences are listening, we are playing the radio edit, which is called 'Come On,' " the BBC spokesperson said. "However, we will continue to play the original track in specialist shows with an appropriate introduction. … It is common practice to play radio edits of certain tracks in daytime."
MTV News' e-mails to reps for Island Def Jam had not been answered by press time. Though, it appears that — for the time being, at least — the controversy may have subsided. Late Monday, the BBC once again changed the name of the song. It now appears on their version of the Top 40 as "S&M (Come On)," proof that, when Rihanna vows vengeance, people listen.

An updated Super Bowl weather forecast has been released this week, and while it looks like Super Bowl Sunday will fortunately be able to stay on its expected game day this 2014, some people have argued why a warmer climate wasn't chosen to host the celebrated football event in the first place. Via The Weather Channel this Monday afternoon, the daytime high on Feb. 2 is set for a chilly but certainly acceptable high of 38 degrees, with only a 10 percent chance of precipitation at night. The Bleacher Report provides the details on this important factor that may in fact impact the event's overall outcome this Monday, Jan. 27, 2014.
The updated Super Bowl weather forecast has given many football fans hope that a clear and enjoyable game day may be in store this Feb. 2, yet with this wild winter season still very present, a powerful snowstorm or extremely cold temperatures could throw a foul into established plans. The forecast has continued to fluctuate the past several days in the hotly anticipated game between the Denver Broncos and the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl XLVIII.
It is this potential for bitterly frigid weather that has thousands of football fans preparing to attend the East Rutherford, N.J. venue now waiting for what temperature and conditions the Sunday game day will actually bring. Of course, some have understandably shared some polarizing opinions about having the 2014 Super Bowl at the MetLife Stadium at all for the major NFL event. Arguments have been given on both sides, with doubters saying that a warmer climate would solve these issues immediately:
"Legendary head coach and former Super Bowl champion Don Shula recently opened up on being quite confused as to why East Rutherford was chosen as the Super Bowl location site (via ESPN New York's Ian O'Connor)":
"Why? That was pretty much my reaction. I certainly believe that when you get to a game of that magnitude, you want to play it in conditions where weather won't be or might not be something that affects the outcome. So that's why I think Miami, New Orleans, San Diego, all those warm-weather cities are the best cities for a game of that magnitude."
As of this Monday afternoon, the Super Bowl weather forecast for this upcoming Sunday seems very favorable, at least. The Weather Channel notes that the daytime temperature high sits at 38 degrees, while the nighttime low is at a colder 24 degrees. There is only a 10 percent chance of precipitation at night as well.
Yet as stated by Albert Breer of the NFL Network this weekend, this early weather anticipation, fear, and discussion may have a big influence on where future Super Bowls are going to be played:
"How this saga plays out and how Mother Nature impacts the quality of what should be an epic matchup will go a long way in determining whether or not the league will come back to cold-weather outdoor venues in future Super Bowls."
There were also early reports of a potential Super Bowl 2014 game change to either this Friday, Saturday, or Monday in the first weekend of February should a snowstorm or extreme cold temperatures pose too great a risk.

Its the way we raise and slaughter chickens and turkeys that leads many birds to be contaminated.
After theyre killed and their blood has been drained, theyre put in a communal batha perfect way to spread bacteria from one carcass to another. Then rubber fingers rub the skin to remove the feathers. That pushes bacteria into the pores. After the insides are removed, the carcasses are chilled, which closes the pores... and traps any bacteria.
Of all the germs that inhabit the chicken coop, Campylobacter is king. It causes more cases of food poisoning than any other bug. The microorganism sickens an estimated two to four million peopleand kills 120 to 360in the U.S. each year.
The worst part of a Campylobacter infection may not be the vomiting and diarrhea. In an estimated one in a thousand cases, it may also lead to Guillain-Barré Syndrome, a neurological disease that can cause (temporary or permanent) numbness, pain, progressive weakness, and paralysis.
Use a minimum cooking temperature of 325°F and cook turkey or chicken until it reaches a temperature of 180°F (dark meat) or 170°F (white meat), measured by a meat thermometer stuck in the thickest part of the meat. Cook boneless turkey roast to 170°F to 175°F.
Even if the bird comes with a pop-up thermometer, check the temperature with a meat thermometer.
If you use a microwave to defrost frozen chicken or turkey, cook the bird as soon as its thawed.
If you defrost a frozen turkey in the refrigerator, allow 24 hours for every five pounds. (That means a 20-pound frozen turkey for Thanksgiving has to start defrosting the previous Sunday.)
If a frozen turkey is wrapped in leak-proof plastic, you can defrost it in cold water, but the water should be changed every 30 minutes. Allow 30 minutes of defrosting per pound.
If you buy a hot, take-out turkey (or any other food), keep it at or above 140°F if youll be eating it within two hours. If youll be eating it more than two hours lateror if you buy a cold pre-cooked turkeydismantle your feast and refrigerate it. Remove the stuffing and cut the turkey off the bone. Wings and legs can be left whole. When youre ready to eat, reheat the meat and stuffing to 165°F and boil the gravy.
Its safest to cook stuffing separately. If you do cook it in the bird:
Stuff the bird loosely just before you put it in the oven (about ¾ cup of stuffing per pound of poultry).
Use a meat thermometer to make sure that the center of the stuffing reaches 165°F.
If the chicken or turkey is done before the stuffing is fully cooked, remove the stuffing and heat it on the stovetop to 165°F. Avoid pre-stuffed fresh chickens or turkeys.

College Hockey:Terriers Hold Off No. 7 Maine
Curry Wins Again In Net
BOSTON — Sure, Terrier goaltender John Curry played well against top-ranked Michigan in the season's opening weekend. But so what? He did so in a relief role with BU down 7-0.
And yes, after playing all of five minutes during his freshman season, he won his first two career starts in his previous two games. Yet those wins came against Vermont and Providence — two teams not expected to be juggernauts this season.
Sunday afternoon Curry faced his biggest challenge to date, and he answered the call by stopping 25 of 26 shots against Maine, as the Terriers held off the seventh-ranked Black Bears by a 2-1 score in front of a sellout crowd of 3,806 at Walter Brown Arena.
Freshman Chris Bourque played well for the Terriers, piling up nine shots despite coming away with just one assist. Peter MacArthur added to his team-leading goal total for the Terriers, while senior captain Brian McConnell contributed his first tally of the season for the game-winner.
Maine goalie Jimmy Howard performed stoically in the Black Bear net, stopping 30 of 32 shots, including 15 in an exhilarating, fast-paced first period.
Maine coach Tim Whitehead was duly impressed with the Terriers but equally chagrined by his team's lack of discipline. Penalties for slashing, spearing, and hitting from behind proved costly in his team's loss.
"I thought it was a great win for BU," Whitehead said. "I thought that they kept their composure and played hard. Their goaltender was in a tough situation where he hadn't had a lot of experience, and he rose to the occasion. I thought that their team played really well, and we took too many penalties to win that game. That's plain and simple."
In contrast, Terrier coach Jack Parker was in chipper spirits about the Terriers' performance.
"In the words of Manny Ramirez, 'Bueno!'" Parker said, alluding to the newly crowned World Series MVP. "I thought we played real well tonight. I was real interested to see how we'd perform in certain areas: One, how Curry would perform against one of the better teams in the league, and he performed extremely well.
"I also wanted to see how our defense handled them down low. This was going to be a different test: Maine comes at you real hard-with a physical presence and a lot of speed. So I thought we did a good job down low; that was the best part of our game."
Curry acknowledged that this game would be a true litmus test for those who questioned whether last season's third-string goalie could hold his own against a college hockey powerhouse.
"Absolutely," Curry said. "We had a couple of wins in a row, but everyone wants to see what you can do against the best teams.
"That's the most exciting part. This was a test against one of the best teams in the nation, and we battled all night and came out on top."
The Terriers came out flying in the game's first 10 minutes, seriously testing Howard. "He gave us every opportunity to win the game-as did their guy," Whitehead said. "The goalies were great."
BU's line of Bourque, MacArthur and Eric Thomassian threw an absolute flurry at Howard in the game's eighth minute, and MacArthur ultimately buried the rebound to make it 1-0 at 7:18.
At 10:15, Parker was jawing at referee Tim Benedetto, annoyed that the Terriers were called for a high stick and a faceoff in their own end despite the fact that no Terrier touched the puck before the whistle was called. Parker's temperature increased a few more degrees when one of the assistant referees prevented him from getting the last line change before the subsequent faceoff.
Sure enough, that faceoff led immediately to a goal. In the left-wing circle, Ben Murphy won the draw, slipping the puck to Black Bear captain John Ronan on his right. Ronan slipped a low shot that Curry appeared to get a piece of. The puck didn't cross the goal line by much before it was cleared, but the game was tied, deflating the high-octane Terriers.
In the second period, Maine's Jon Jankus looked good on a pair of shorthanded chances but couldn't convert. Mike Hamilton also had a great bid as a power play expired, but Curry made a big save. "We didn't make enough of our shorthanded opportunities, oddly enough," Whitehead said.
The Terriers' game-winner came on a power play. McConnell's initial slapshot from the point went high, but David Van der Gulik collected the rebound and slipped it back to McConnell as the centerman cruised toward the net. His low shot beat Howard to make it 2-1.
Hamilton's night ended at the end of the second period, when he speared Dan Spang and got called for a five-minute major and a game disqualification. Less than two minutes into that opportunity to break the game open, BU forward Kenny Roche received a bit of a makeup major — along with a game DQ of his own — when he hit Keith Johnson from behind.
Maine's Greg Moore had a chance to tie it on a breakaway at 2:30. "I went out really far and challenged him," Curry said. "From there you assume that he's going to deke. And then I see him look up, and his eyes just lit up, looking at that left side. And I thought 'Oh, no: Is there a lot open or something?'"
Curry managed to get a pad on the low shot for his biggest save of the night.
Even when Roche's major was up, BU couldn't relax: Thomassian, serving the penalty, was sitting on top of the penalty box door with 15 seconds remaining in the major, and then he jumped on the ice with a solid five seconds remaining on the penalty clock: too many men.
The Terriers survived that one, while the Black Bears responded by killing off a five-on-three for the home team. Thomassian atoned for his error with an excellent effort to set up Bourque for another near miss at 17:35.
"I can't wait till he pops in a million goals, because it's going to happen," Curry said of Bourque's performance. "He's a very smart player, very smart in practice. I don't like when he shoots on me, actually."
For his part, Curry cemented his status as the number-one goaltender — at least through the next game the Terriers (3-2-0, 2-0-0) play, at New Hampshire on Friday.
"He certainly played great tonight," Parker said. "I thought he had some tough chances. He was cool, calm. He made all the stops he had to make us for tonight, and he was always in position. He didn't get rattled. If the question is, 'Is he the goalie next week?' The answer is 'Absolutely.'"
Maine (5-4-0, 1-1-0) doesn't have it any easier in the week to come, hosting Boston College on Friday and New Hampshire on Sunday.

By now, you should know that real estate and housing stocks are resurgent.
The SPDR S&P Homebuilders ETF (NYSE:XHB[1]) is up 44% in the last year. Toll Brothers (NYSE:TOL[2]) is up 54%. D.R. Horton (NYSE:DHI[3]) is up 62%. PulteGroup (NYSE:PHM[4]) is up 124%.
But that's old news. What investors need to figure out is whether the boom will continue.
I continue to have fears that new money is buying a top in housing[5], but it's hard to argue with the tape. So far in 2013, the builders have continued their outperformance, as have secondary housing plays like Home Depot (NYSE:HD[6]) and Lumber Liquidators (NYSE:LL[7]).
However, we're starting to see some chinks in the armor of this heroic housing rally.
Those are two bad indicators for future growth — and now that we have some signs of trouble, tomorrow's existing home sales report will be closely watched.
Of course, the trajectory remains "less good" at worst. Consider that prices for single-family homes climbed in 88% of U.S. cities[10] in the fourth quarter, and that the Census Bureau reported separately that permits hit a four-year high.
But you have to wonder how sustainable this rally in housing stocks is. Whether real estate prices are firm is only one factor. Considering the massive run-up in homebuilder stocks and other equities, we might be at an inflection point where sentiment has peaked and the sector is becoming short on upside.
Remember: Housing stocks can decline even if housing overall is recovering.

In all successful community groups, people leave their egos at the door, and build a team of people with diverse skills.
Every strong capable, effective team is a combination of good leadership and people who have strong skills in a particular area of expertise, even though they may be weak in another area.
For example, one member of the team may excel in public relations and marketing, but be weak in math and computer skills.
Another person might have great computer and math skills, but have weak people skills.
This presents the leaders of community groups with two distinct challenges.
First, they have to attract the people who have the skills needed to accomplish the goal of the community group.
Then they have to let those people do what they're good at, and not throw roadblocks in the way.
That's a difficult task. Many of the people active in community organizations, especially the leaders, are strong personalities who want to leave their mark on the world.
That's their strength; they will work their butts off to get something done.
But many of the leaders of community groups have been working alone for years trying to get something done. So they're used to doing everything themselves.
That makes it hard for them to let go and allow other people to do some of the things they have done for so long, even if the other people can do that task much better than they can.
After years of having to do everything themselves, it's hard for them to trust the efforts of the other team members, who haven't been down that long hard road.
So they wind up stepping on the toes of the people who have joined the effort to accomplish the goal of the community group.
That's where the people in the group, and the leaders, have to leave their egos at the door.
There's a phrase popular in the business management community right now that applies.
You have to have skin as tough as a rhinoceros.
If you want to succeed you can't be thin-skinned, and get upset when somebody steps on your toes by rejecting your idea or by saying they are going to double check your work.
And you can't get insulted because somebody does something differently than you would.
You need rhino skin
If you're gonna begin
To walk
Through this world.
Tom Petty
Rhino Skin
For example, if you worked hard on a project for a community group, and the leaders reject what you've accomplished because they would have done it in a different way; let it go.
Talk to somebody else in the community group, who has different skills than you do, and ask them to do what they can to smooth the waters.
We're all human, and we all make mistakes.
But if you want the community group you are in to succeed, you have to leave your ego at the door, and admit that there are some things that are better done by other people.
We all can't look at a page of numbers and immediately spot the mathematical mistakes. So trust the people who can.
We all can't create ads that people will actually read. So trust the people who can.
We all can't dig up the facts hidden in thousands of pages of government documents. So trust the people who can.
Leave the programming to the programmers, the math to the mathematicians, and the ads to the marketing people.
Do what you're good at and trust your teammates to do what they are good at.
If you are a community leader, who has been working on a project for decades, listen to the people on your team; trust their expertise.
Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.
Albert Einstein
As the team grows, the long-time leaders have to relinquish some of the everyday tasks to other members of the team, and trust the judgment of their teammates.
If a leader isn't detail oriented, then another member of the team has to bring that to the table, and the leader has acknowledge that the team member has brought something to the table that the leader never could have.
When leaders doubt the validity of the things other team members have done, or insist on double-checking and verifying all of the work the team members do, the community organization will fail.
The team will fall apart as people get frustrated.
That's why both leaders and members of community organizations need to leave their egos at the door.
If it's raining, and you can't get inside; let the water roll off your back.

A resident of College Park in Maryland was sentenced today to ten years in prison accused of distributing heroin and oxycodone during two years and possession of explosives that he used to intimidate drug customers who refused paid to him the money for the drug.
According to the plea, from at least January 2011 through December 2012, John Frank Jenkins (30) and his co-conspirators faked prescriptions for oxycodone, which they presented to different pharmacies, obtaining 180 oxycodone pills approximately twice a week, then after Jenkins and his accomplices consumed some of the pills, they sold the rest to the drug addicted people. Then he begun to distribute and sell heroin a cheaper substitute for the oxycodone.
In the course of the events as a result of his illicit activities, Jenkins begun to build explosives to pressure his customers who owe money to him, so in November 2012 he intended to blow up the drug customer's vehicle and one month after, he used an explosive to damage the house of another drug customer, who fortunately was sleeping in an area distant of the detonation.
The sentenced issued by the U.S. district judge Paul W.Grimm of Greenbelt, Maryland of 121 months in prison, included also 14 months of home detention as part of three years of supervised release. This was imposed by the judge Grimm as a part of concurrent charges for distribute drugs and make explosives. Also Jenkins will have to pay 475 dollars for concept of restitution, was announced by the United States Attorney for the District of Maryland Rod J. Rosenstein.

The Disney Channel debuted a brand new sneak peek for Maleficent Friday night, starring Angelina Jolie as the iconic horned sorceress.
The trailer for the live-action adaptation of Disney's animated classic Sleeping Beauty (1959), shows clips of the fairies granting wishes and spells to baby Aurora, as well as Maleficent's unpleasant arrival.
The trailer also includes footage of Prince Phillip (Brenton Thwaites) planting the infamous kiss on a sleeping Princess Aurora (Elle Fanning).
A most notable clip shows how Maleficent came to be the most feared horned sorceress.
Maleficent explores the untold story of Disney's most iconic villain from the 1959 classic "Sleeping Beauty" and the elements of her betrayal that ultimately turn her pure heart to stone. Driven by revenge and a fierce desire to protect the moors over which she presides, Maleficent cruelly places an irrevocable curse upon the human king's newborn infant Aurora. As the child grows, Aurora is caught in the middle of the seething conflict between the forest kingdom she has grown to love and the human kingdom that holds her legacy. Maleficent realizes that Aurora may hold the key to peace in the land and is forced to take drastic actions that will change both worlds forever.
Maleficent also stars Sharlto Copley, Juno Temple, Sam Riley, Miranda Richardson, and Doctor Who's newest Doctor Peter Capaldi.
Maleficent hits theaters May 30, 2014.

Miami Marlins showing accountability, from the manager on down
The Marlins are 1-3. Not the start they were looking for, but these first few days of the 2012 season have offered some positive developments.
Manager Ozzie Guillen demands accountability of his players, and he set the example albeit in some unfortunate circumstances. Guillen on Saturday apologized for ill-conceived statements he made to Time Magazine about Fidel Castro. No need to reiterate them, but Guillen admitting he made a mistake was a necessary step and one he did not take begrudgingly. While he spoke to beat writers at no time was Guillen flippant or offer any indication this was anything but heartfelt.
Fast forward to Sunday's 6-5 loss, in which closer Heath Bell gave up two ninth-inning runs to blow his first save chance as a Marlin. The accountability he showed afterward was commendable.
"I need to earn the respect from these guys," Bell said. "On last year's [Padres] team, I did that early on. Early on [here] I'm 0-1, so not looking too good right now. I have a job to do and I didn't do it."
The way Bell handled blowing the save probably earned him more respect in his teammates' eyes than if he would have converted it.
Another example from Sunday: Jose Reyes. With the bases loaded and no outs in the first inning, Carlos Zambrano induced a grounder to the right side. Omar Infante initiated the double play sequence, but Reyes made an errant throw. A run scores whether the Marlins turn two or not, but with the double play Zambrano gets out of the inning allowing two runs instead of three. Miguel Cairo's groundout to third ends the inning instead of knocking in another run.
Afterward, Reyes said: "I'm better than that. I need to make that play."
Another instance Sunday came in the seventh, when Greg Dobbs took a Bronson Arroyo pitch off the inside of his left knee. The ball caught him flush, but before Guillen and trainer Sean Cunningham could reach him in the press box, Dobbs popped up and jogged to first. Not the best idea, considering Brett Hayes followed with a single that should have put Dobbs to third. He barely made it to second.
Guillen immediately lifted Dobbs for a pinch runner, who ultimately scored the first of three Marlins runs. Afterward, Dobbs admitted he underestimated the functionality of his knee, which did not require X-rays.
"I thought I'd have a little more than what I had," Dobbs said. "Trying to go around second there was nothing in my knee."
If players are accountable in the press, more importantly it shows they're accountable to each other.
