Year of the Hunk: Can Clooney, Pitt save Oscars?
The 20-year-old "Teen Mom" star tweeted that she was "shocked" Kourtney Kardashian "is pregnant again," and a slew of other insults directed at the mom-to-be. But the extended Kardashian crew was quick to snap back at the MTV reality star.

"Why would I have anything to do with 'Teen Mom'?" Kourtney tweeted. "I'm 32 years old! I may look young, honey, but don't get it twisted."
Abraham, who is mom to 2-year-old Sophia, wasn't shy about slamming E!'s famous family. "Did she not learn anything from Teen Mom?" she tweeted. "Maybe it's a fake pregnancy like Kim's wedding. SAD."

Scott Disick, 28, who is father to Kourtney's 23-month old Mason and baby-to-be, pointed out to Abraham that, "We're not teenagers, ya f**king moron."
Khloe, 27, asked Disick on the microblogging site how he knew who Abraham was. His blunt reply? "I just thought she was some sh*t stain on Twitter, no?"

"Guess what! Age and money honestly do not change a person's poor choice," Abraham tweeted after slamming Kourtney. "Quit making excuses."
Khloe dutifully noted that she has "never met a better mother than Kourtney."

Gingrich Confident of Nomination, Gets a 'Big Head' (ContributorNetwork)
COMMENTARY | Presidential candidate Newt Gingrich has got a "big head." "Big head," which is something one "gets" or "is getting," is a colloquial phrase (not used as commonly as it once was) that doesn't refer to the actual size of a person's head (although in Gingrich's case, comedian Stephen Colbert often makes an exception) but to an over-inflated ego brought on by fortuitous circumstances or seemingly undeserved arrogance. Gingrich has taken a double-digit lead in the national presidential preference polls and is now telling anyone who'll listen that he will be the next Republican presidential nominee and the race will come down "Newt and Not-Newt." With confidence born of a few poll wins, the so-called historian is flat-out ignoring recent history's constant repetition of elevating and discarding GOP candidates. Simply put: Gingrich appears to have acquired a "big head," although it could be argued that he has had one for years.
"I would have thought originally it was going to be a 'Mitt and Not-Mitt'," Gingrich said, according to CNN . He was referring to early predictions of the GOP race. "It may turn out to be 'Newt and Not-Newt,' and that's a very different formula."
A different formula, he says, because he is far more conservative than Mitt Romney, the former GOP frontrunner, whom he characterized as a flip-flopper.
Romney trailed Gingrich by 21 points in the latest Rasmussen Reports poll, but it is a position the former governor of Massachusetts has become accustomed to, having fallen behind both Texas governor Rick Perry and Georgia businessman Herman Cain in the national polls before Gingrich's recent surge.
Forgetting that Romney has done fairly well in the eleven Republican presidential debates held thus far, Gingrich said that voters will go "Newt" simply because Republicans " need someone who can debate Obama."
He says that once nominated, he wants to do seven Lincoln-Douglas style debates with President Obama. If the president refuses, he vows to follow his campaign schedule, making speeches in the same towns and cities Obama visits, taking apart the president's speeches just after he delivers them. In the end, Gingrich says, Obama will acquiesce to the debates because of "pure ego."
"How can you be Columbia, Harvard Law, editor of the Law Review, best orator in the Democratic Party and be afraid of some guy who taught at West Georgia College? How is he going to look himself in the mirror and say I can't stand up to Newt? "
Nothing like a little projection to bolster one's confidence...
The next day, Gingrich made the following comments: "I'm going to be the nominee," the former House Speaker said, as reported by CNN . "It's very hard not to look at the recent polls and think that the odds are very high I'm going to be the nominee."
Rick Perry and Herman Cain may have both had the same thoughts when they jumped out ahead of Romney as well. But Perry, after several horrendous debate performances, and Cain, the target of several scandals regarding alleged sexual impropriety, saw their poll numbers dwindle after a brief period as the race leader.
Gingrich suggests that the Republican national presidential preference polls indicate he will be the next nominee. The first-in-the-nation caucus kicks off in Iowa on January 3 and polls indicate Gingrich has the lead there as well. But Rep. Michele Bachmann and Rick Perry have both led in Iowa, so there's no guarantee that the caucus will swing Gingrich's way.
And Romney currently leads local polls in New Hampshire, the first-in-the-nation primary that will be held a week after the Iowa Caucus.
To put things into perspective, Perry led the national polls for six weeks, getting as high as a double-digit lead over Romney. Cain's campaign played leapfrog with the Romney camp for five weeks. Newt Gingrich has had the lead in the polls for three weeks. There are less than five weeks to go before the primary season begins in Iowa.
Plenty of time for Gingrich to drop back level to or behind Romney after he is put through the media wringer like Perry and Cain (and Bachmann, who only challenged Romney nationally but never led in the polls). And Gingrich has a lot of political baggage that Romney does not, such as a House of Representatives sanction for ethics violations while he was Speaker, not to mention being a notorious flip-flopper as well.
But Gingrich's hauteur is nothing new. He has referred to his fellow candidates on several occasions as immature in their debate performances, holding himself aloft as if he's never had disagreements with fellow Republicans (see aforementioned sanctions). Assuming that voters are too ignorant to see the similarity, he says he was never a lobbyist -- he has never registered as one -- while records indicate he was paid millions over the last decade to curry favor for various corporations and financial institutions, including Freddie Mac. He talks austerity programs and spending cuts in future budgets that will impact millions of individuals at or below the poverty level while going on million-dollar spending jaunts with his wife. He constantly refers to President Obama as the "food stamp president" as if Gingrich himself has never received assistance, even going so far as to refuse to work while married and in college, according to a PBS "Frontline" report. Instead, he received money from his mother's family for the duration.
Apparently hypocrisy and disingenuousness inflates egos -- or helps keep them inflated. So do high poll numbers. And Gingrich certainly has a swelled head. Now it remains to be seen if the Republican electorate will continue to support it.

Man on vacation confused for a Russian spy, almost restarts cold war
However, five months later a Curran Gardner water pump fails, and an IT contractor eyeballing the logs spots the Russian-based IP address. Fearing stolen credentials, he passes the info up the chain of command to the Environmental Protection Agency (as it governs the water district) without bothering to contact Mimlitz, whose name was in the logs next to the IP address. The EPA then passed along the paranoia to a joint state and federal terrorism intelligence center, which issued a report stating that SCADA had been hacked. Oh boy. A media frenzy followed bringing all the brouhaha to Mimlitz's attention. After speaking with the FBI, the massive oversight was identified, papers were shuffled, and everyone went about their day. So, next time you delete all your company's e-mail, or restart the wrong server, remember: at least you didn't almost start World War III. Tap the source link for the full story.

Many With HIV Not Getting Meds: CDC (HealthDay)
TUESDAY, Nov. 29 (HealthDay News) -- Some 1.2 million Americans are living with HIV, yet only about 28 percent of them have their disease under control, federal health officials report.
Efforts to diagnose, treat and reduce transmission of the virus need to be redoubled, claims a new study from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which was released just before World AIDS Day on Thursday, Dec. 1.
"The bottom line here is that we have the tools to stop HIV from spreading," CDC director Dr. Thomas Frieden, said during a noon press conference on Tuesday.
"The most encouraging new finding is that when people start HIV treatment early, when their immune systems are still relatively strong, they are 96 percent less likely to infect their partners," he said. "This study brings home that treatment is prevention; that treatment is essential to prevention."
But there is a lot of work to be done to fully see the beneficial effect of treatment, Frieden said. "About 850,000 Americans with HIV do not have the virus controlled," he said.
The first step is to get people to recognize their HIV status through testing, Frieden said. "And second, to make sure that every person with HIV has every opportunity to remain in ongoing care after they're diagnosed," he added.
The CDC recommends that HIV testing be a part of a regular checkup at least once, and for those most at risk, testing should be done at least once a year.
According to the CDC report, in 2010 only 9.6 percent of adult Americans had been tested for HIV during in the past 12 months. Testing varied by state, from 4.9 percent to 29.8 percent, the researchers noted.
Of the more than 900,000 people with HIV who know it, about 77 percent were linked to care and 51 percent were getting continuing treatment.
In addition, 45 percent had prevention counseling and 89 percent were taking antiretroviral medications. Of these, the virus was suppressed in 77 percent, meaning the virus was suppressed in about 28 percent of all Americans with HIV, according to the report.
Those least likely to know they have HIV and least likely to get prevention counseling are gay and bisexual men, the population most affected by the disease, researchers noted.
To make its estimates, the CDC used data from the National HIV Surveillance System, the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System and the Medical Monitoring Project, as well as other published data.
Dr. Margaret Fischl, director of the AIDS Clinical Research Unit and co-director of the University of Miami Developmental Center for AIDS Research, said that "one has to continue to push to make people realize that you should be testing everyone. Everyone should be tested if they are young and sexually active."
Moreover, more infected people need to get treatment and stay on treatment, she said. "I didn't spend 25 years designing antiretroviral trials to get where we are today to see these types of numbers," she said.
"We know these regimens can have a 96 percent success rate," Fischl said. "These regimens today are very powerful, they're easy to take, they have much less side effects and patients needed to be followed intensely," she added. In addition, treatment can help reduce the transmission of HIV, Fischl said.
