Tom Selleck will On Play On Killers 2010




Tom Selleck will On Play On Killers 2010 on Television Today -- Did you know about Tom Selleck??? Many of films that he belongs to the star, such as: magnum pi, jesse stone thin ice, etc. Today, His name become trend on Internet. I was search recent news about Tom Selleck then I found that he will play on one movie "Killers" on 2010.

The network TV movie genre has suffered a decline in recent years, with cable taking over as the venue for provocative storytelling. However, this series of one-off movies featuring Tom Selleck as Stone, an apparently past-it homicide detective relocating to a small town, just keeps going. And it keeps getting better. Selleck has now eased his way into the role. Sometimes he seems to be gently mocking his past as the hot-shot on Magnum P.I. Here, Jesse's got personal troubles, of course. There's that lovely actress wife who ditched him, and after working the mean streets of L.A. his character is not much taken by the drama of speeding tickets in his new home. Here though, he helps out an old buddy and is shot and wounded while getting involved in a case in Boston. And then there's the strange case of a woman whose son was kidnapped but she's convinced he's right there in the small Massachusetts town that is Jesse's domain. There is fine work from the supporting cast of Kathy Baker, Leslie Hope and William Devane.

Khloe Kardashian Pregnant | New Mom




Khloe Kardashian pregnant on Television Today -- Does Khloe Kardashian pregnant??? Do you believed Khloe Kardashian pregnant???? Some media released Khloe Kardashian pregnant??? Today, I will talk about recent news "Khloe Kardashian pregnant".

So is Khloe Kardashian pregnant? No. She's not pregnant right now, but that could change at any time. According to a video clip of Khloe Kardashian with Lamar Odom, Lamar wants to "get Khloe Pregnant" pronto. Khloe's answer? "Okay."

It's not that I don't want to see Khloe Kardashian have a baby. IF she were to get pregnant, it would make for a wonderful season of Keeping up with the Kardashians and Khloe and Kourtney Take Miami. The drama would be amazing, especially if she still getd drama from Lamar Odom's other baby momma.

However, Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom haven't been together very long. They need time to get used to one another before jumping in head first and bringing another life in to this world.

Could Khloe Kardashian be okay with having a baby because of Kourtney's impending bundle of joy? Having a baby around the same time as your sister would ensure that your child grows up with cousins their age. You can also remain close to your sister and enjoy the same things together.

Although there isn't an official announcement that Khloe Kardashian is pregnant, I wouldn't be surprised if she already is. Khloe Kardashian pregnancy rumors started flying once it was announced that she was going to marry NBA star Lamar Odom at a private wedding in LA.

It's hard to see a straight answer out of the youngest Kardashian Sister. On one hand, she seems okay with starting a family with Lamar Odom. On the other hand, she seems a little apprehensive about having a baby. After all, as she pointed out to the New York Daily News, she recently lost 20 pounds. She doesn't want to be a "house" and admits she's always had a weight problem.

Snookie Gets Punched by A Man




Snookie Gets Punched by A Man on Television Today -- Jersey Shore, MTV's new controversial reality show which stars eight of the "hottest, tannest, craziest Guidos" who live and party together for a summer, will face a criticism when they air the epsiode in which one of the stars, Snookie, gets punched in the face by a random man at a bar. Why did Snookie get punched?
According to the Philly Times:

A cast member of an MTV show filming at the Jersey Shore got a fistful of reality Wednesday when an inebriated New York man punched her in the face during a taping at an Ocean County bar.

Seaside Heights Police Chief Thomas Boyd confirmed yesterday that the woman who was hit inside the Beachcomber Bar & Grill a little after 2 a.m. Wednesday was part of MTV's latest foray at the popular resort town.

"It's a reality series," he said. "I think it's about Italians at the Shore."

You should never hit a girl! That being said we can’t say that Snookie wasn’t cruising for it, and most of her foul-mouthed antics are certainly less than lady-like. Watch how a big juiced-up guidbag on the MTV show Jersey Shore gave Snookie a piece of his mind in between Jager bombs at the bar…

Michelle Duggar Hospitalized and her 18 Kids





Michelle Duggar Hospitalized and her 18 Kids on Television Today -- Michelle Duggar, the American woman who is pregnant with her 19th baby and star of reality show 18 Kids And Counting, has been rushed to an Arkansas hospital.

Duggar is expecting her 19th baby, but it is not due until the spring. The reason for the hospitalization was unrelated to the pregnancy but due to gallbladder issues, stressed a network representative.

“The pain from a gallstone was generating some contractions. Just to be safe, she was airlifted to a Little Rock, Ark., hospital, so that in the unlikely event that she had to be delivered early, she would be close to a NICU center. Though there were some fears that the baby was in trouble initially, it soon was discovered to be solely the gallstone causing the discomfort. Michelle is resting comfortably, and the baby is doing fine,” said the network representative.

18 Kids and Counting (formerly 17 Kids and Counting) is a reality television show produced in the United States by Figure 8 Films about the Duggar family, which consists of parents Jim Bob and Michelle and their 18 children, eight girls and ten boys (including two sets of twins), who all have names starting with the letter “J”. The show’s third season premiered June 30, 2009.
A rep for TLC has issued the following statement:
"This weekend, Michelle Duggar was admitted to an Arkansas hospital due to gallbladder issues. The pain from a gallstone was generating some contractions.

Just to be safe, she was airlifted a Little Rock, Ark., hospital, so that in the unlikely event that she had to be delivered early, she would be close to a NICU center. Though there were some fears that the baby was in trouble initially, it soon was discovered to be solely the gallstone causing the discomfort. Michelle is resting comfortably, and the baby is doing fine."
But unfortunately for Michelle, she'll have to stay at the hospital for a while longer.

Adds the rep:
"Doctors want to observe Michelle in the hospital for the next couple of days, but it would appear that the pain medication they have given her for the gallstone has worked, and there is no need for immediate surgery. The hope is that any necessary surgery can be delayed until after she delivers."

2009-10 Bowl Schedule And Prediction




2009-10 Bowl Schedule And Prediction -- Three of the five 2010 BCS games will be televised on FOX (FedEx Orange Bowl, Allstate Sugar Bowl and Tostitos Fiesta Bowl) and two will be on ABC (Rose Bowl Presented by Citi, and Citi BCS National Championship Game).

BCS bowl predictions for 2010 are easy, for at least two games. All 2010 BCS bowl predictions have Alabama vs Texas for the title, and Ohio St vs Oregon in the Rose Bowl. But it's the other three games that are a bit unpredictable, and could have several different matchups. Since Texas ultimately destroyed any drama in the national title race, the biggest guessing game involves the other pairings. This is where the BCS bowl predictions in 2010 will vary until 8 pm tonight.

The Sugar, Fiesta and Orange Bowls have a whole crop of teams to choose from today. Most predictions have Florida in the Sugar Bowl, and Georgia Tech in the Orange. Beyond that, things are a little too close to call right now.

TCU, Boise State, Cincinnati, and either Penn State or Iowa should make up the rest of the BCS field. With the Fiesta Bowl getting the first pick, some predictions have them putting TCU there. In fact, ESPN's Brad Edwards projects the Fiesta Bowl to have a mid-major pairing, between TCU and Boise State.

That would leave a Big 10 school to play Georgia Tech in the Orange Bowl, and Edwards predicts that it will be Iowa. If Edwards is correct, that would leave Cincinnati as the last team standing. As such, they would go to the Sugar Bowl against Florida, which would be the farewell game for Tim Tebow - and maybe for Brian Kelly.

The Fiesta Bowl is the wild card, since they don't have any real conference tie-ins, like the Orange and Sugar Bowls. They know Boise State can travel well, so they could be eager to bring them back. If they can also get TCU, then a Horned Frogs-Broncos BCS bowl could be the most intriguing of the bunch.

Of course, the Fiesta could pick a Big 10 program to face one of the mid-majors. The Orange Bowl could then take the other mid-major to face Georgia Tech, since they already had Cincinnati there last year.

Most BCS bowl predictions seem to have Cincinnati in the Sugar Bowl, since the Fiesta and Orange may not be that interested in them. But if the Orange Bowl brought the Bearcats back, then the Sugar Bowl could pit a mid-major against an SEC team for the third straight year.

Tiger Wood Affair Voicemail | Jamiee Grubb Pictures




Tiger Wood Affair Voicemail | Jamiee Grubb Pictures on Television Today -- Three women on the web are being searched for in these strings right now: Jaimee Grubbs pics, Kalika Moquin pictures & photos of Kylie Bisutti, the new Victoria's Secret Angel. After the Tiger woods text messages to Jamie Grubbs , now a voicemail which was allegedly sent by Tiger is in the news.

A voicemail which is allegedly between Tiger Woods and Jamie Grubbs, when Tiger phoned her, and asked her to change her name on her voicemail greeting, to make sure they wouldn’t get caught because his wife had gone through his phone.

The content of the voice mail is as below:

Hey, it’s Tiger. I need you to do me a huge favor. Can you please take your name off your phone? My wife went through my phone and may be calling you. So if you can, please take your name off that. Just have it as a number on thevoicemail, just have it as your telephone number. You got to do this for me. Huge. Quickly. Bye.

Grubbs the girl who is alleging an affair with Pro Golfer Tiger Woods, and who has just released a voicemail supposedly from the Golfer, in which he pleads for her to take her name off her messaging service.

She told Us Weekly that they had been conducting a 31 month affair with the PGA star, and that she never received a call from Tiger Woods wife Elin Nordegren, as claimed by TMZ. They had claimed, that she has gotten a phone call from Nordegren who was furious about the alleged affair saying, “You know who this is because you’re (expletive) my husband.” But Grubbs denies all of this.
“Elin has never called me as far as I know. I did get a call from an unknown number last Tuesday (the same day as Tiger left me a message), but I never picked it up.” The 24 year old cocktail waitresses recalled to UsMagazine.com

Grubbs who featured in a reality show ‘Tool Academy’ also said she had not heard “from Tiger or anyone in his camp” since the story hit the headlines.

Grubbs also claimed to not be answering her phone of late, as from yesterday she had 200 missed calls and 300 texts, instead she has been busying herself with friends at the movies and plans to go snowboarding, to keep her mind of the explosive events.

The voicemail released recently says as follows, “Hey, it’s Tiger. I need you to do me a huge favor. Can you please take your name off your phone? My wife went through my phone and may be calling you. So if you can, please take your name off that. Just have it as a number on the voicemail. Just have it as your telephone number. You got to do this for me. Huge. Quickly. Bye.”

Obama Adding 30,000 More Troops for Afghanistan




Obama Adding 30,000 More Troops for Afghanistan on Television Today -- adding 30,000 more troops in the country beginning in early 2010 -- in a sober address at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point that sought to lay out the stakes of the conflict while also making clear to the American public that this was not another Vietnam or Iraq.

Declaring "our security is at stake," President Barack Obama ordered an additional 30,000 U.S. troops into the long war in Afghanistan Tuesday night, nearly tripling the force he inherited as commander in chief. He promised an impatient public he would begin bringing units home in 18 months.

The buildup to about 100,000 troops will begin almost immediately – the first Marines will be in place by Christmas – and will cost $30 billion for the first year alone.

In a prime-time speech at the U.S. Military Academy, the president told the nation his new policy was designed to "bring this war to a successful conclusion," though he made no mention of defeating Taliban insurgents or capturing al-Qaida terrorist leader Osama bin Laden.

"We must deny al-Qaida a safe haven," Obama said in spelling out U.S. military goals for a war that has dragged on for eight years. "We must reverse the Taliban's momentum. ... And we must strengthen the capacity of Afghanistan's security forces and government."

The president said the additional forces would be deployed at "the fastest pace possible so that they can target the insurgency and secure key population centers."

Their destination: "the epicenter of the violent extremism practiced by al-Qaida."

"It is from here that we were attacked on 9/11, and it is from here that new attacks are being plotted as I speak," the president said.

It marked the second time in his young presidency that Obama has added to the American force in Afghanistan, where the Taliban has recently made significant advances. When he became president last January, there were roughly 34,000 troops on the ground; there now are 71,000.

Mackenzie Mathis and Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS)




Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) (also known as "Cutis hyperelastica") is a group of inherited connective tissue disorders, caused by a defect in the synthesis of collagen (a protein in connective tissue). The collagen in connective tissue helps tissues to resist deformation (increases its elasticity). In the skin, muscles, ligaments, blood vessels, and visceral organs collagen plays a very significant role and with reduced elasticity, secondary to abnormal collagen, pathology results. Depending on the individual mutation, the severity of the syndrome can vary from mild to life-threatening. There is no cure and treatment is supportive, including close monitoring of cardiovascular system.

The syndrome is named after two doctors, Edvard Ehlers of Denmark, and Henri-Alexandre Danlos of France, who identified it at the turn of the 20th century.Symptoms vary widely based on which type of EDS the patient has. In each case, however, the symptoms are ultimately due to faulty or reduced amounts of Type III collagen. EDS most typically affects the joints, skin, and blood vessels, the major signs and symptoms include:

* Highly flexible fingers and toes
* Loose, unstable joints that are prone to: sprains, dislocations, subluxations (partial dislocations), hyperextension (double jointedness)
* Flat feet
* High and narrow palate, resulting in dental crowding
* Easy bruising
* Fragile blood vessels resulting from cystic medial necrosis with tendency towards aneurysm (even abdominal aortic aneurysm)
* Velvety-smooth skin which may be stretchy
* Abnormal wound healing and scar formation
* Low muscle tone and Muscle weakness
* Early onset of osteoarthritis
* Cardiac effects: Dysautonomia typically accompanied by Valvular heart disease (such as mitral valve prolapse, which creates an increased risk for infective endocarditis during surgery, as well as possibly progressing to a life-threatening degree of severity of the prognosis of mitral valve prolapse)

Other, less common symptoms and complications can include:

* Osteopenia (low bone density)
* Deformities of the spine, such as: Scoliosis (curvature of the spine), Kyphosis (a thoracic hump), Tethered spinal cord syndrome, Occipitoatlantoaxial hypermobility , Arnold-Chiari malformation
* Functional bowel disorders (functional gastritis, irritable bowel syndrome)
* Nerve compression disorders (carpal tunnel syndrome, acroparesthesia, neuropathy)
* Vascular skin conditions: Raynaud's phenomenon, Livedo reticularis
* Fibromyalgia symptoms: Myalgia and arthralgia
* otosclerosis (hearing loss)
* Premature rupture of membranes during pregnancy
* Platelet aggregation failure (platelets do not clump together properly)
* Infants with hypermobile joints often appear to have weak muscle tone (hypotonia), which can delay the development of motor skills such as sitting, standing, and walking
* Arterial/intestinal/uterine fragility or rupture

Because it is often goes undiagnosed in childhood, some instances of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome have been mischaracterized as child abuse. The pain associated with this condition is a serious complication.



Mackenzie Mathis appreciates a lot these days.

A walk to the fridge is much easier than it was a year ago. Her performances at dance recitals could be described as a testimony.

Two years ago, Mathis began having nonstop headaches that couldn't be explained.A year later, her legs started to feel numb and she walked with short, slow steps.

Two surgeries later, Mathis now walks with a normal stride, drives and dances. She's taking a new approach to life.

"She's a bit of a miracle child," said her grandmother Pat Mathis. "A lot of prayers went up for her, and the Lord answered them."

Mathis, 19, was diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, a neurological condition, last December. She visited several doctors who couldn't explain the headaches or what caused her legs to give out. It was frustrating; at times, she felt as if people doubted what she complained of feeling.

"It was very difficult," Mathis said. "It was a lot of going to doctors who said, 'Maybe it's this,' and they'd do tests and my tests would come back normal. We could see how things were getting worse, but no one could do anything about it."

She visited family doctors, neurologists, ear, nose and throat doctors and a chiropractor. Mathis was told she might have had migraines, lupus or fibromyalgia.

"It was frustrating," said her mom, Lisa Mathis. "There was never an option to not follow up on what was going on."

Once Mackenzie had difficulty walking long periods of time and needed wheelchairs at the mall and the airport, the family started searching harder.

A family friend got Lisa Mathis in touch with a family whose children were diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos. The symptoms that family's children experienced matched what Mackenzie was dealing with. Lisa Mathis said this helped get the family on the right track to find a diagnosis.

Ehlers-Danlos is a collection of genetic disorders that affect collagen, a protein that adds strength and elasticity to connective tissue. Patients often experience a downward pull of the spinal cord, which causes Chiari malformation.

According to Mackenzie's doctor, that's when the cerebellum, which controls balance, and the brainstem push downward. The pressure creates a range of problems, including the headaches and balance issues she experienced.

She underwent two surgeries that have returned her life to normal.

One surgery removed some of the ligament that pulled her spinal cord downward. The second surgery was a cranial spinal procedure, which improved the relationship between her skull base and her upper spine to eliminate the brain stem's deformation.

"Those two surgeries completely changed my life, and I can now do things I didn't think I would do again," Mackenzie said.

Lisa Mathis said her daughter's recovery was quick compared with some who have been diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos.

"Her story is not typical of these patients, probably because we moved quick compared to others," said Lisa Mathis, who said it sometimes takes people 10 to 20 years to receive an Ehlers-Danlos diagnosis.

Mackenzie Mathis is helping other Ehlers-Danlos families. She's learned that about 50 families in North and South Carolina are dealing with the condition. In January, she'll host a support group for those families in Spartanburg. Her neurosurgeon is based in Bethesda, Md., and she serves as a spokeswoman for the hospital and answers questions from Ehlers-Danlos patients through e-mail and Facebook. She's also blogging about her recovery, and the blog has been read by people as far away as the United Kingdom.

Mathis spent a lot of time visiting doctors last year, so she's repeating her senior year at Oakbrook Preparatory School. Her effort to raise awareness about Ehlers-Danlos is part of her senior project.

"It's given me a purpose in life and has made me grow up to be thankful for everything," Mathis said.

Jenny Howard, her dance instructor at Oakbrook, said it was heart-breaking when Mathis was able to attend class last year.

"On the days that she could come to school, she would have to just sit and watch," Howard said.

Howard said seeing Mathis dance again is a miracle and gives her goose bumps.

"It's still kind of unreal," Howard said. "Nobody can believe it. It's almost like none of this happened."

Looking back, Mackenzie thinks some of the attributes that helped her with dance might have been signs of Ehlers-Danlos. Mathis, a dancer since second grade, does modern dance.

"I've always known I was hypermobile," said Mathis, who could twist her arms and pop joints. "I thought it was good for a neat trick and my dance."

Seeing her dance again is an emotional experience.

"That was the biggest blessing," Lisa Mathis said. "It was who she was. We didn't dare think she would dance again. We just wanted to get rid of her headache."

Britt also led the Big East conference in both categories in 2007, and was rewarded with a spot on the Big East's All-Conference team, and was named by Rutgers as its 2007 offensive MVP.

Coming in to 2008, Britt has been named to the preseason All-Big East teams by numerous publications, including Phil Steele and Athlon. NationalChamps.net named Britt an honorable mention All-American.
The Big East Conference's elite receiver ended his brilliant three-year career as the league's all-time leading receiver with 3,043 receiving yards in just 34 games. The Associated Press third-team All-American ranked second in the nation with an average of 114.25 receiving yards per game and finished eighth nationally with 87 receptions, an average of 7.25 grabs each contest.

Known for his ability to gain yardage after the catch, Britt closed out his career in explosive fashion, registering his 14th 100-yard receiving game vs. North Carolina State in the PapaJohns.com Bowl. That total tied the Big East Conference record that was first set by Larry Fitzgerald of Pittsburgh (2002-03). That record also included a string of five consecutive 100-yard performances during his junior campaign.

Britt also etched his name in the school record books. His 17 touchdown catches tied the Rutgers all-time record and he also became the all-time leader in receiving yardage (3,043) while ranking third on the school career-record list with 178 receptions, a total that also places him fourth in Big East history.

After his banner 2008 campaign that saw Britt establish Scarlet Knight season records with 87 catches for 1,371 yards, the junior decided to forgo his final season and declared for the 2009 NFL Draft. He is the second player in the Greg Schiano era at Rutgers to leave school early, joining tailback Ray Rice, a second-round draft selection of the Baltimore Ravens in the 2008 NFL Draft. During Britt's three-year career in Piscataway, the Scarlet Knights won 27 games, including three bowl victories.

At Bayonne High School, the local product was rated the 22nd-best receiver in the country and the fifth-best overall talent in the state of New Jersey by Rivals.com. The Prep Star and Super Prep All-American added All-Hudson County first-team honors from the Hudson County Interscholastic Athletic Association, The Star-Ledger and Jersey Journal.

As a senior, Britt was credited with 24 receptions for 462 yards and six touchdowns. That total included seven catches for 136 yards vs. Bridgewater-Raritan and he also eclipsed the 100-yard mark vs. Union Hill with four catches for 112 yards. As a junior, he added 28 catches for 515 yards and six touchdowns. He would conclude his prep career with an appearance in the 2006 New York/New Jersey Governor's Bowl.

Britt enrolled at Rutgers in 2006, where the coaching staff originally planned to redshirt him. However, solid performances in practices forced the team to activate him for nine games, as he started six of the final seven contests. He would go on to make 29 catches for 440 yards (15.2 avg.) and a pair of touchdowns, all coming in those six starting assignments, including an eye-popping total 10 catches vs. West Virginia, a team that boasted one of the top secondaries in the country.

Despite posting the sixth-best receiving yardage total in Big East Conference history (1,232 yards) and ranking second on the team with 62 receptions (19.9 avg.), Britt was only named to the league's All-Big East second team. He also hauled in eight passes for touchdowns, averaging 94.77 aerial yards per game. For that performance, he was named the team's Offensive Most Valuable Player.

Britt finally began to receive national attention in 2008. The third-team All-American and first-team All-Big East pick led the league in receptions (7.25 pg) and receiving yards (114.25 ypg). He set school season records with 87 receptions and 1,371 yards (15.8 avg.), as his yardage total was the second-best season effort in conference annals. He also was used in the backfield, completing his only collegiate pass attempt for 28 yards while adding 75 yards and a score on seven reverses.

Stephanie Spielman Death | Wife Of Chris Spielman




Stephanie Spielman Death | Wife Of Chris Spielman on Television Today -- Stefanie Spielman, the wife of NFL and Ohio State star Chris Spielman who led a public fight against breast cancer, died Thursday after a lengthy battle with the disease. She was 42.

Stefanie Spielman died at the family's home in Upper Arlington, surrounded by her family, said WBNS radio in Columbus, where Chris Spielman co-hosts a show.

"Stefanie has gone home to be with the Lord," Chris Spielman said in a statement released by the station. "For that, we celebrate, but with broken hearts. I want to thank everyone for their support over the last 12 years. Together, with your help, hopefully we made a difference in this fight."

Stephanie Spielman has passed away. Those of us here in central Ohio will remember her courage and her extraordinary dedication to raise money for the Stephanie Spielman Fund for Breast Cancer Research.

Stefanie Spielman was 30 years old and three months pregnant in 1998 when she detected a lump in her breast. She later miscarried and discovered she had cancer. She survived four bouts with cancer before a fifth recurrence in March.

Chris Spielman was playing linebacker with the Buffalo Bills when he decided to give up football for a year to stay home with his wife and children. When his wife lost her hair because of chemotherapy treatments, he shaved his head.

"People say 'It's a great thing that you're doing,' Chris Spielman said at the time. "I always say it would be a terrible thing if I didn't."

The Spielmans became advocates for breast-cancer detection and research, winning several awards for their dedication to the cause.

The Spielmans raised more than $6 million for breast cancer research at Ohio State through the Stefanie Spielman Fund for Breast Cancer Research.

She helped form a support group for young women with breast cancer, hosted an annual event that honored cancer survivors and created a fund to help breast cancer patients and their families who struggled financially. She was inducted into the Ohio Women's Hall of Fame in 2002 for her work.

"We have lost a leader in the fight against cancer," seven-time Tour de France winner and cancer survivor Lance Armstrong said. "Stefanie was a living example of courage and strength to everyone around her. "

Two-time Heisman Trophy winner Archie Griffin, the president and CEO of the Ohio State Alumni Association, said Stefanie Spielman was a compassionate person who "took her personal struggle and used it as a platform to help other women battling breast cancer." He said the Ohio State community was "tremendously saddened" by her death.

Chris Spielman played 10 seasons in the NFL with the Detroit Lions and Buffalo Bills before retiring after a violent hit that left him momentarily paralyzed when he was with the Cleveland Browns.

Stefanie Spielman is survived by her husband and their four children, Madison, Noah, Macy and Audrey.
