Today is Clean Up Your Room Day!
Is this what plays out in your home?
"No, ma, you can't make me! I will NEVER clean my room! I don't CARE what you think! Wait, what are you doing with my Xbox? Noooo! Don't drop it in the toilet!!!"
"FINE! I'll clean up my room -- but I'm going to do it really loud while stomping and hitting things!"

6 Golden Rules of Weight Loss
Runner's World magazine has a new book called "Run Your Butt Off" for brand new runners who are looking to drop pounds. They say running can't do it alone, but if you follow these rules, you can shed dozens of pounds in 3-months. Here are those 6 rules:
1) Take really good notes
Right down everything you eat. Studies prove that people who log their food intake regularly keep more weight off than those who don't take notes.
2) Beef up your protein intake
Runners need a half gram of protein per pound of weight every day. Protein keeps you fuller longer preventing you from overeating.
3) Add color to every meal
Pack your diet with fruits and veggies.
4) Stop grazing!
Eating six or seven small meals a day will keep the appetite switch in the "on" position constantly. Divide your calories around three meals and one or two snacks.
5) Always have a plan
You can whack a lot of calories by creating a menu and making a real meal plan
6) Slow down!
Wolfing down a meal can lead to overeating. Did you know it takes 15 to 20 minutes for nerve endings in the gut to send a signal to the brain that says "I'm full"? A study proved that people who eat quickly are three times more likely to be overweight.
If any of this interests you, there's much more to each of the rules here
Most Hated Baby Names
You shouldn't give a rip what people think of your baby's name. It's the name you picked out, and it is special.
Unless, of course, the name is universally hated! Take a look at this list of the most hated names for girls and boys.
Girls
- Nevaeh ("heaven" spelled backward and one of the most divisive names around, according to Wattenberg)
- Destiny (people dislike names that confer a virtue onto a child, Wattenberg said -- and many associated this name with exotic dancers)
- Madison
- Mackenzie
- McKenna
- Addison (an example of a masculine named turned feminine, which many people dislike, Wattenberg said)
- Gertrude (people said this name is "ugly")
- Kaitlyn (for its "made-up" spelling)
- Makayla
- Bertha
Boys
- Jayden
- Brayden
- Aiden
- Kaden (these rhyming names struck many as overdone, Wattenberg reported)
- Hunter (too much like a last name or "too violent")
- Hayden
- Bentley (people dislike brand-name names, Wattenberg found, calling them "trashy")
- Tristan
- Michael (too boring, according to some)
- Jackson

Joke of the Day
Three old men are talking about their aches, pains and bodily dysfunctions.
One 75-year-old man says: "I have this problem. I wake up every morning at 7 and it takes me 20 minutes to go..."
An 80-year-old man says: "My case is worse. I get up at 7 a.m. and it takes me 40 minutes to go"
The 90-year old guy says: "Not me. At 7am, I go without a problem."
"And that's a problem?" Asked the others
"Yes. I don't wake up until 9."

Why Do Most Men Say "I Love You" First?
Is it to get some action, or is it because women are too scared to do it first?
The Love Boat: 25 Years Later!
The article looks at the A-list stars including Charo (still performing on cruise ships), Tom Hanks (yes, he was on an episode in 1980 which opened the door to "Bosom Buddies") and Janet Jackson (who was 19 when Ted Lange tried to make some moves...watch).
Justin Bieber Fires Back
CSI star Marg Helgenberger told a French radio host that Justin Bieber was "a brat" when he appeared on CSI. "He was very nice to me. But he locked one of the producers in a closet and he put his fist through a cake that was on the cast's table." Justin's reaction: "It's kinda lame when someone you met briefly and never worked with comments on you. I will continue to wish them luck and be kind." Can you "be kind" after you've called someone "lame"?
Whitney Houston Back in Rehab
After calling reports that she was using drugs again "ridiculous," she enrolls in an out-patient facility for drug and alcohol treatment. Crack is whack...
