BEREA, Ohio (AP) ? Browns running back Peyton Hillis is ready to make his return after missing six straight games with a hamstring injury.

Hillis practiced Friday for the first time since Nov. 4 and may play on Sunday at Cincinnati. Hillis first got hurt on Oct. 16 in Oakland and was poised to return three weeks ago before he aggravated the hamstring during practice. Earlier this week, Browns coach Pat Shurmur ruled Hillis out for this week's game, but Hillis is now a game-time decision against the Bengals.

Hillis' second season with the Browns has been loaded with drama. He expressed disappointment at not getting a contract extension and missed one game with strep throat on the advice of his agent.

If I were a mother, I'm not sure that I'd be rushing to take advice from someone who went back to work seven hours after giving birth.

I think I might think that pushing something the size of a cat out of something that had struggled to accommodate a speculum might earn me at least a few days off. I think I might be a little bit worried when I heard her say that she wanted to be "an excellent role model," and particularly when I heard that she was the head teacher of a school for girls.

"Most women," said Helen Wright last year, after giving birth in the early morning, and being back at her desk by lunch, "have a choice of taking maternity leave or going back to work and having their babies looked after. Why," she asked, "can't there be a third way -- taking your baby to work with you?"

Well, why indeed? Apart, perhaps, from the fact that it might get in the way of the photocopier, and the fact that it's quite hard to tap away at a computer when you've got a small human being hanging from your chest. And, perhaps, the fact that the other 150 people who share your office don't mind the odd phone call, but aren't all that keen on primal screams.

If I had a daughter at her school (which I probably wouldn't, because it costs nearly ?30,000 a year) and had to choose between that and a home, I think I'd worry that she might grow up with the kind of expectations you give children at state primary schools when they come last in the egg and spoon race but still get a gold star. But I think I'd find it hard to disagree with the comment Helen Wright made at a conference for the Girls' School Association earlier this week, that when little girls wear "Future WAG" T-shirts, and make-up, and high heels, there's "something intensely wrong."

Parents, she said, aren't to blame. Schools, she said, had "a key role to play" in providing guidance. "We need to take away," she said, "the stigma for parents that they have to know everything."

If I were a parent, I think I'd be pleased to be told that I wasn't to blame, and that someone else should take away the "stigma" of anything that anyone thought I'd done wrong. If, for example, like the parents of some of the children at schools near me, I didn't bother to teach my child how to put its shoes on, or how to eat at a table, or how to use a sentence without using the word "fuck," and if I sent it to school without breakfast, or lunch, and didn't give it tea when it got home, I think I'd be quite pleased that the school didn't think that it was up to me to do "everything."

And if my child wasn't reading all that well, I might, like some parents who were quoted in the Evening Standard this week, quite like to stand at the school gates, and talk to the other parents about how the school was letting my child down. I might like to talk, for example, about how the children should be getting more homework, and how the teachers should be doing a better job.

But if I were a teacher, I think I might feel that if you'd gone to all the trouble of pushing something the size of a cat out of something that used to struggle with a speculum, then it wouldn't kill you to give it a couple of pieces of toast, and maybe a couple of fish fingers when it got home. And if I were a teacher at the school mentioned in the Standard this week, and was trying to teach a class where 80 percent of the students didn't speak English at home, I think I might also feel that it wouldn't kill the parents to swap a few minutes of The X Factor for, say, a few pages of The Gruffalo.

And if I saw the children I was teaching wearing T-shirts saying things like, "So many boys, so little time," and maybe even, through the T-shirt, a padded pink bra, I think I might wonder if parents needed a Ph.D. to know that it wasn't a great idea to buy their small daughters clothes that made them look as though they wanted to be paid for sex. I think I might even wonder why the bloody hell these people had bothered to push the cat-sized thing out of the thing that used to struggle with a speculum if they didn't want to feed it, or talk to it, or read to it, or dress it in relatively normal clothes.

But if I were a teacher and saw the child dressed as a prostitute, and could see that it was quite likely to end up as a teenage mother, since the U.K. has more of them than anywhere in Europe, and that the teenage mother might also not be keen on making toast or heating fish fingers, which would just create a cycle that would go on for ever, I think I might well feel that even though I didn't become a teacher in order to become an effing social worker, I didn't really have a choice.

I think I might feel that I'd better teach the child about toast and fish fingers, too, and hope that the government goes ahead with its plans to run courses in toast and fish fingers for grown-ups (which it's calling courses in "parenting") so that a few more people in this country could learn that if you want to have a child, you might also want to think about whether you actually want to bring it up.

Criticism of Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh is coming from all corners, including a college teammate of Suh?s who says it?s time for a suspension.

Jets guard Matt Slauson, who played with Suh at Nebraska, told Bart Hubbuch of the New York Post that the NFL should suspend Suh because fines haven?t curtailed his on-field misbehavior and, Slauson says, ?he?s out of control.?

?Somebody needs to get him under control, because he?s trying to hurt people,? Slauson said. ?It?s one thing to be an incredibly physical player and a tenacious player, but it?s another thing to set out to end that guy?s career.?

Suh and Slauson lined up against each other in practice, and Nebraska practices frequently featured problems related to Suh?s temper getting the best of him, Slauson told Hubbuch.

Although Suh was one of the best defensive tackles in college football history ? being named Associated Press College Football Player of the Year and winning the Bronko Nagurski Trophy, Chuck Bednarik Award, Lombardi Award and Outland Trophy in addition to being a finalist for the Heisman Trophy ? Slauson says his teammates didn?t like him. And he says people at Nebraska like Suh even less now that he?s making the football program look bad with his tactics in the NFL, including stepping on an opponent on Thanksgiving, resulting in an ejection.

This isn?t the first time Slauson has indicated he didn?t particularly enjoy being Suh?s teammate. Asked about the then-rookie for the Lions a year ago, Slauson said, ?I wouldn?t say me and Suh were best friends. There were times we got in fights during spring ball, during camp. Emotions go, you get tired and Suh just happened to be the guy I was going against.?

It seems that pretty much everyone is fed up with Suh right now. The next question is whether Roger Goodell is so fed up that Suh is suspended.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. ? Kyle Orton has a new home in the AFC West.

Orton was claimed off waivers Wednesday by the Kansas City Chiefs, who were in the market for a veteran quarterback after losing Matt Cassel to a season-ending injury to his throwing hand.

Orton was released by the Broncos on Tuesday, six weeks after he was benched following a 1-4 start. The former Chicago Bears starter, who passed for 3,000 yards each of his first two seasons in Denver, became expendable when the Broncos opted to go with Tim Tebow as their starter.

The Chiefs will be responsible for approximately $2.5 million remaining on Orton's nearly $8.9 million salary this season, but they had plenty of space under the salary cap to make the move.

Orton can become a free agent after this season.

"We have consistently communicated that we are always looking to create competition and depth within our team," Chiefs coach Todd Haley said late Wednesday. "We feel adding Kyle to our roster reinforces that goal and we look forward to having him as a member of the Chiefs."

Several other teams were interested in Orton, including the Bears, but the Chiefs were highest in the order of waiver priority and landed him. He's expected to report to the Chiefs on Thursday, though it's unlikely that he'll be up to speed in time for Sunday's game against Pittsburgh.

If that's the case, Tyler Palko will make his second consecutive start. He was 24 of 37 for 230 yards and three interceptions in his first NFL start, a 34-3 loss to New England on Monday night.

"He never had a look that disturbed me before, after, during the game," Haley said. "I know playing that position, there's no greater test, and getting thrown in to the fire on Monday night and, oh, by the way, six days later playing Pittsburgh, it doesn't get any harder."

Now it appears that Palko will have to fend off Orton to keep the starting job.

"Todd told me after practice that they claimed Kyle, and that's really it," Palko said. "He didn't tell me either way (about starting). Just full speed ahead for Pittsburgh.

"I've been the practice squad quarterback, I've been the No. 3, the No. 2, and the starter last week," Palko added. "I prepare the same way, with the same intensity, and that hasn't changed. I've never wavered or changed my mentality."

The Chiefs waived wide receiver Keary Colbert, who surprisingly earned a job out of training camp after spending three years away from the NFL, to make room on the roster for Orton. Colbert appeared in seven games this season, making nine catches for 89 yards.

Orton, a former Purdue star, was a fourth-round draft pick and appeared on the way to stardom when he assumed the Bears' starting job for 15 games as a rookie, winning 10 of them.

Often saddled with a reputation for being moody, Orton was demoted his second season in favor of veteran Brian Griese. He earned the starting job back late in 2007 and started 15 games for the Bears in 2008, passing for 2,972 yards with 18 touchdowns and 10 interceptions.

"He was a really good player," said Chiefs running back Thomas Jones, who played with Orton in Chicago. "He's a real good teammate."

His stock never higher, Orton was traded along with a package of draft picks to Denver for Pro Bowl quarterback Jay Cutler. In a curious twist of fate, it was an injury to Cutler that sparked Chicago's interest in claiming its former starter off waivers.

Orton excelled his first two seasons in Denver in an offense run by Josh McDaniels, throwing for 7,455 yards and 41 touchdowns with 21 interceptions.

McDaniels was fired late last season, though, and while Orton remained the starter when John Fox took over, things got off to a bumpy start. Denver lost four of its first five games, and Fox turned to Tebow as the starter, effectively demoting Orton to the third string.

Orton's career numbers bear a striking resemblance to those of Cassel, who was hurt near the end of the Chiefs' 17-10 loss to Denver two weeks ago. Orton's completed about 58 percent of his passes while making 66 career starts, with 79 touchdowns and 55 interceptions.

Cassel has started 54 games, completing 59 percent of his throws with 76 TDs and 46 picks.

The Chiefs, who are in the midst of a three-game skid that has threatened to eliminate them from contention in the AFC West, will try to get Orton up to speed quickly.

After facing the Steelers on Sunday night, they visit Chicago and the New York Jets, before returning home to face the defending Super Bowl champion Green Bay. A division game against Oakland follows before wrapping up the season at Denver, a game that suddenly has a few more story lines.

"Good for him. Congratulations to him. That will be fun to play him the last game of the year," Tebow said. "Obviously he knows (Denver's offense) pretty well, so he could probably give away a few things, but I think we'll be OK."

At Sunday's American Music Awards in Los Angeles, Selena Gomez stunned on the Nokia Theatre red carpet when she showed some skin in a very grown-up Giorgio Armani gown with a plunging neckline, scooped back and thigh-high slit.

PHOTOS: What the stars wore at the 2011 AMAs

To complement her slinky dress, the "Hit the Lights" singer, 19, opted for a glamorous, old Hollywood-inspired hairstyle. Below, find out how to recreate her flawless, shiny "Veronica Lake look" from her hair pro, TRESemme Celebrity Stylist John D.

PHOTOS: Selena's red carpet style

Step 1: Prep towel-dried hair with TRESemme 24 Hour Body Mousse ($5.49, walgreens.com), combing the product through for even distribution.

Step 2: Blow-dry hair nice and smooth and create a deep side part for added drama.

Step 3: Take sections framing the face on both sides (from the back of the part, just behind the ear), and curl 1-inch sections using a 1-inch barrel-curling iron (try Solano Smooth Curl 450 Professional, $79; folica.com). Spray each section with TRESemme Thermal Creations Curl Activator Spray ($4.99, drugstore.com) to add additional hold and aid in protecting hair from excess heat.

PHOTOS: Beauty must-haves the stars love

Step 4: Curl bangs away from the face and curl the side sections in a horizontal direction, continuing this process on the remaining sections.?Note: make sure the sections are even and not too big.?This will ensure a consistent curl/wave pattern.

Step 5: After the sets are cooled, spray a boar bristle brush with a finishing spray and brush out the curls until you achieve a desired wave pattern.?Make sure the wave hangs just over the eye and finish with more hairspray to keep the look in place!

There?s a definite end-of-year, holiday feel to today?s Fresh iPhone Apps. Thanksgiving is just around the corner, but after that, the run-up to the Holiday Season and the New Year begins. Celebrate in style with a classic Charlie Brown storybook narrated by Peter Robbins, or see what 2012 has in store from the brains at The Economist. When it comes to gaming, try some top-down arcade shooting action with Space Tripper, or take on the role of Barry Steakfries again in a special holiday-themed version of Age of Zombies.

Apple chose A Charlie Brown Christmas for its iPad App of the Week this week, and with Thanksgiving upon us, it?s not much of a leap to start getting into the Christmas spirit. The app is an interactive storybook that includes original dialogue from the 1965 movie original. It?s also narrated by Peter Robbins, the original voice of Charlie Brown.

But since it?s an interactive storybook, A Charlie Brown Christmas also includes features like the ability to decorate a Charlie Brown Christmas tree, play Schroeder?s piano, and hear words read aloud to help kids learn to read along with the book.

With 2011 winding down, The Economist magazine has put together a big feature forecasting the world of the next 12 months. The best of that content is now available in The World in 2012?s ?Editor?s Highlights? app, which features articles, videos, photos and more of things and people to watch in 2012.

The World in 2012 is The Economist?s predictions for the next year, and you can get a jump-start on figuring out what (and who) will be a big deal in the next year with Editor?s Highlights. With lots of information and content, it?s a nice iPad version of the larger publication The Economist puts together, and a solid way to decide if you want the print edition.

Also known as Astro Tripper, its PC counterpart, Space Tripper is a top-down arcade shooter that marries solid tilt controls with touchscreen controls, all while keeping things relatively simple. You man a craft and are tasked with destroying all the enemies that appear in a given arena before the timer runs out. Tilting makes your ship move while tapping one side of the screen reverses the direction you?re facing ? either left or right ? and the other switches between two weapons.

You?ll need quick reflexes and some on-the-fly strategy in order to notch top scores in the exceedingly difficult Space Tripper, but with Game Center support, your reward will be seeing how well you stack up against players all over the world. Space Tripper packs 14 levels to fight through, plus more game modes you can unlock as you go.

Halfbrick?s favorite wise-cracking protagonist, Barry Steakfries, took on legions of zombies while traveling through time in Age of Zombies, and now a year later the developer has released a brand new version of the game called Age of Zombies Anniversary. The new version is on sale for a limited time and keeps everything that made the original great ? namely, fast-paced twin-stick shooter action and a wry sense of humor ? while adding new features.

Age of Zombies Anniversary now includes Retina display support and is optimized for newer-generation iPhones and iPads. It also offers Game Center support for achievements and leaderboards, as well as an additional story chapter set in the Wild West.

Cadillac is betting that it can regain its once-lofty standing with the launch of a series of new products that includes the big XTS sedan that made its debut earlier this month at the annual Los Angeles auto show.

By Paul A. Eisenstein

Once known as the ?standard of the world,? Cadillac has been anything but a benchmark for carmakers in recent years as imported brands such as Lexus, BMW and Mercedes-Benz have dominated the U.S. luxury market.

But now Cadillac is fighting back, betting that it can regain its once-lofty standing with the launch of a series of new products that includes the big XTS sedan that made its debut earlier this month at the annual Los Angeles auto show.

Cadillac will follow up next year with the addition of the compact ATS, and it has more new models on the drawing board.

A few years ago it might have seemed ?a stretch? for Cadillac to even imagine a comeback in the U.S., admits Don Butler, general marketing manager for the?General Motors division.

In the ?new (luxury) world old formulas don?t apply, so we had to start over? with the XTS, a premium luxury sedan that replaces two slow-selling Cadillac models, the STS and DTS, Butler said.

Caddy isn?t the only upscale domestic car brand that?s hoping to convince car show visitors in Los Angeles -- the nation's largest luxury car market -- that it can become relevant again.

Slide show: Images from the 2011 Los Angeles auto show

At this year?s show, Ford?s Lincoln division showed off updates to two of its own products, the big MKS sedan and MKT crossover. The two 2013 models get revised fascias and grilles, new wheels and modest improvements in performance and fuel economy. They?re also getting the updated version of the MyLincolnTouch systems designed to address recent criticism of the brand?s infotainment technology.

?This is truly marking the beginning? of Lincoln?s design renaissance, said Max Wolff, the brand?s chief designer, although he also hinted that the big news for Lincoln won?t be revealed until January when Detroit plays host to the North American International Auto Show -- generally thought to be the most important show in the auto show calendar.

There, the automaker plans to unveil a concept version of its next-generation Lincoln MKZ, the most popular sedan in its portfolio. The concept vehicle will introduce an all-new ?face? for the luxury brand that will abandon Lincoln?s time-tested ?waterfall grille? and move to a series of horizontal slats that are almost wing-like in appearance. The show car version will also feature an all-glass roof that will be able to open like a hard-top convertible.

The revised grille will reappear on a production version of the MKZ debuting at the New York auto show next April, although it?s not clear if the glass roof idea will be carried into production.

But the dramatic changes coming to Lincoln underscore the concerns Ford has for the Lincoln division, which has become little more than an also-ran in a market where it once vied with Cadillac for dominance.

Cadillac hasn?t stumbled quite so badly, but it has been struggling in recent years after what appeared to be a significant turnaround early in the new millennium. The maker scored big with the first generation of the compact CTS sedan, which introduced Caddy?s distinctively edgy ?art and science? design theme.

In a segment of the car market where manufacturers have traditionally opted for softer designs, the ?art and science? design ?language? was a bold standout. But after hitting a market home run with the CTS, Cadillac failed to score with the next run of offerings, like the STS, the DTS and the XLR sports coupe.

The products simply fell short of the competition in terms of interior refinement, ride and features, analysts contend.

Cadillac won?t make those mistakes again, insists Mark Reuss, president of GM?s North American operations. The goal, he insists, ?is to win in the intensely competitive luxury market, not just compete.?

Besides offering a striking exterior shape and a much more refined interior, the new XTS will introduce Cadillac?s new CUE -- an infotainment system that can be programmed using normal speech rather than requiring users to learn a complex and often confusing series of rigid commands.

These high-tech features have become a critical differentiator in the luxury market, notes Derek Kuzak, Ford?s global product development czar.

Lincoln thought it had a leg up on the competition with the MyLincolnTouch infotainment system, but, underscoring the risks of relying on high technology, the Ford luxury brand was slammed for problems with the touch-sensitive system. Indeed, influential Consumer Reports magazine lifted its sought-after ?Recommended Buy? rating from several Lincoln products this year.

The carmaker hopes to win back that endorsement with the updated MyLincolnTouch, and then show that its styling and performance are also relevant with the product offensive it is kicking off in Los Angeles this month.

But both Lincoln and Cadillac won?t have an easy time of it. Even established luxury brands such as Lexus, BMW and Mercedes are ramping up their own efforts. Lexus, in particular, is expected to be especially aggressive in the months ahead, hoping to recover the momentum it lost due to product shortages caused by the earthquake and tsunami in Japan last March.

And second-tier players such as Audi, and also Nissan?s Infiniti brand, are hoping to gain ground with their own expanding line-ups.

Then there?s the Koreans, and Hyundai in particular.

It scored an unexpected coup a few years back when its first luxury offering, the Genesis sedan, was named North American Car of the Year. The even bigger and more lavish Equus has so far this year handily beaten the company?s sales expectations, and Hyundai?s own new offering at the Los Angeles show, the big Azera, will target entry-luxury buyers who might have gone for more traditional offerings like the Lexus ES350.

Based on initial reviews, Cadillac and Lincoln are gaining visibility and credibility. But whether they can win back luxury car buyers is another matter entirely.

What is your favorite luxury nameplate?

New York ? The GOP frontrunner suggests letting young Americans opt out of Social Security, investing instead in private retirement accounts. Would that work?

This week, Republican presidential frontrunner Newt Gingrich proposed reforming Social Security by giving young workers the option of staying out of the federal retirement program, and putting their share of the payroll tax into private investment accounts instead. Gingrich said his plan would give young people more control over their money, and lift the economy by funneling new investment into stocks and bonds, without affecting the benefits of people receiving Social Security checks now. Other Republicans, including George W. Bush, have tried and failed to pitch this kind of private account before. Would Gingrich's "radical" plan be any different?

Nope. It just won't work: No matter how good you think this sounds, economist Paul N. Van de Water tells The New York Times, it won't work the way Gingrich says, because "if younger workers withdrew from Social Security, there would be a huge gap in payments for current retirees." That's what doomed George W. Bush?s proposal for individual retirement accounts in 2005. "It's basically impossible" to start a private-account plan without "huge federal borrowing" or steep benefit cuts to make up the shortfall.
"A Gingrich alternative to Social Security"

Actually, Newt's onto something here: Gingrich's plan "would be a move in the right direction," says Jacob Sullum at Reason. His proposal is actually "more radical" than Bush's plan, "which would have let people invest only part of their payroll taxes" in private accounts. Although as Gingrich defends his privatization idea, he might regret having dismissed Rep. Paul Ryan's proposal to privatize Medicare as an example of "right-wing social engineering." It's hard to square that criticism with Newt's latest plan.
"Gingrich's righ-wing social engineering"

But does Newt really believe in privatization??If Gingrich really thinks privatization is the answer, says Pat Garofolo at ThinkProgress, why is he promising that the government will write young investors a check if their private accounts don't give them as much retirement money as Social Security would have? That would only encourage people to "make risky investments and hope for a big payoff." If Gingrich really wants people to control their money, he'd let them ? not the government ? deal with the consequences if they make bad choices.

UNITED NATIONS ? Sudan's U.N. ambassador is denying reports his country has bombed areas of South Sudan, and the American ambassador says he's a liar.

Sudanese Ambassador Daffa-Alla Elhag Ali Osman told journalists after a Security Council meeting on the matter Friday that the reports were "fabrications" and "there was no aerial bombardment."

The United Nations' U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice told journalists that the reports of bombing by Sudan along its border with South Sudan have been confirmed by U.N. officials. She says the Sudanese envoy "blatantly lied" to council members.

U.N. peacekeeping chief Herve Lasous says the U.N. mission in South Sudan on Thursday confirmed that at least two bombs had been dropped near the Yida refugee camp in South Sudan.

It is a good time to be a Halo fan. Next week marks the 10-year anniversary of the release of Halo: Combat Evolved on the original Xbox, and to commemorate the event, Microsoft has two offerings for its fans.

The first is the remastered, anniversary edition of Halo: CE, featuring all new HD graphics, online connectivity for the six slightly reimagined competitive multiplayer maps and one new Firefight map, Kinect voice integration, plus a few other Easter Eggs and surprises.

Our top moments of the week:

15. Best Test Run: ?When Teddy starts to lose faith in relationships on 90210, Silver has just the solution: a shotgun wedding! Hitch: There's no marriage license and same-sex marriage isn't legal in Nevada, but Teddy and his new boyfriend exchange vows in front of an Elvis impersonator all the same, and Teddy reaffirms his faith in the power of love. Here's hoping what happens in Vegas doesn't stay in Vegas.

14. Most Painful Misunderstanding: When Jimmy learns that he has a ruthless 13-year-old competitor for Sabrina's affections on Raising Hope, he does what any guy would do: He tries to set up the boy with a girl his own age. But when Jimmy tries to approach the young girl, her dad (Richard Dean Anderson aka MacGyver) overhears and misunderstands Jimmy's plan -- and punches the twentysomething for hitting on his prepubescent daughter. Next time, a note might work better.

13. Best Non-Zombie Action: The world may be overrun with people who eat other people, but damn it, men and women still have needs. So on The Walking Dead, Glenn gets laid! How fortunate for him that Hershel's buxom, no-nonsense daughter Maggie is a lonely woman of action. (This is no doubt his handsome reward for having nearly been fed to the bloated zombie in the well moments prior.)

12. Most Clueless Racer: On The Amazing Race, Jennifer accidentally leaves the clue instructions with her brother Justin while she performs the fish-delivering Roadblock. But instead of doing the logical thing and biking back to the start to read the clue (where she was supposed to go after the delivery anyway), she inexplicably stays in the Malawian village for over an hour, hoping to see another team. She doesn't, and they later get eliminated. If the No. 1 rule of the show is to always read your clue, then the second one is to always be moving. This is The Amazing Race, not The Amazing Standing Still Competition, Jennifer.

11. Best Flip-Flopper: When the vote at The X Factor judges table comes down to Paula Abdul's two remaining acts, she tells Steve Jones that she just can't choose between Lakoda Rayne and The Stereo Hogzz and refuses to vote. But she quickly changes her tune once a little birdie (read: producer) whispers in Steve's ear that without Paula's vote, The Stereo Hogzz will be sent home. With a big tissue in her hand and tears in her eyes, she reluctantly votes for The Stereo Hogzz in hopes of a tie, only to see Simon send them home. This reality TV moment brought to you by ... math.

10. Best Runner-Up Prize: Finn questions his future when he fails to impress the Ohio State football recruiter on Glee. He suddenly realizes he's not good enough to follow his sports or singing aspirations. To console her down-in-the-dumps boyfriend ? and to show her love for him ? Rachel gives Finn something no one else will ever have: her virginity. Now who is going to be the one to tell Finn you can't major in that in college? (Not officially anyway.)

9. Best Step in the Right Direction: After foiling Damon and Elena's plan to kill Klaus?on The Vampire Diaries, Stefan proves his loyalties still lay with his brother. In the final scene, Klaus thinks he's about to reunite his family members only to find their caskets empty. Stefan, who's on the phone with him says, "As someone who's been one step ahead for 1,000 years, were you prepared for this?" Is the Stefan we've been missing finally back and ready to fight?

8. He Sees More Dead People Award: After Dex drowns Nick to avenge Brother Sam's death on Dexter, he turns around and sees the second biggest shock of his life: the spirit of his late brother Brian, aka The Ice Truck Killer. We'll have to wait until next week to see what brings him back, but something tells us he'll be the devil to Harry's angel on Dexter's shoulders.
7. Worst-Kept Secret: Up until now, Will and Alicia have been pretty good about keeping their romance a secret on The Good Wife -- that is, until Diane calls Will on his "lunch break" and hears Alicia's signature ringtone from her daughter ("Mom, pick up the phone. Mom, pick up the phone.") in the background. Mom, learn how to put your phone on silent when you're sleeping with the boss!
6. Best Make-Out: After recounting the gang's ordeal during Hurricane Irene on How I Met Your Mother for Kevin, Robin thanks Barney in the cab for leaving out one little detail: They nearly kissed in the rain before an ill-timed phone call from her dad interrupted it. "Disaster averted," Robin says, since Barney reunited with Nora and she started dating Kevin after that. But not this time! After feigning French kisses in each other's faces, they go in for the real thing as if they're both totally single. (And it's totally hot.)

5. Best Goodbye: To protect her mother ? and her mother's happiness with boyfriend Mark ? Amber asks her newly sober dad to leave town on Parenthood. He complies with her wishes, but not before leaving her one heck of a goodbye present: greeting cards for every birthday he missed while he was addicted to drugs and alcohol. Maybe it's a good thing Hallmark doesn't make "Sorry, I wasn't around for the last 18 years" cards because this was much more touching.

4. Sex, Lies and (No More) Videotape Award: Convinced that Brody gave Hamid the razor with which he used to commit suicide, Homeland's Carrie suggests a polygraph test to set the record straight. But the night before, Brody calls Carrie to meet him at a bar, where, after downing many bourbons, she reveals the "classified" reason for the polygraph... and they top it off by knocking boots in the back of her car. Thinking she's got her guy, Carrie is shocked when Brody aces the razor question the next day, so she forces the expert to ask Brody if he's been faithful to his wife. "Yes," he answers calmly. No spike on the meter. Two can play this game, Carrie.
3. Oops, He Did It Again Award: It's not a good week to be a GOP presidential candidate. While Herman Cain fields four separate allegations of sexual harassment, Rick Perry dooms his campaign with his worst gaffe yet at Wednesday's debate. He fails to name the three government agencies he wants to eliminate. "It's three agencies of government when I get there that are gone ? Commerce, Education and the um, what's the third one there? Let's see. Oh five ? Commerce, Education and the um, um..." he trails off. "Seriously?" moderator John Harwood incredulously asked. "But you can't name the third one?" "The third agency of government I would?do away with ??the education, the uh, the commerce and let's see. I can't ? the third one. I can't. Sorry. Oops," Perry says. And you thought Bushisms were bad.

2. Second Most Winning Impersonation: The ghost of Charlie Sheen/Harper haunts Two and a Half Men after Walden donates Charlie's piano, sending Alan into a deep depression that manifests itself as an extended impersonation of his late hedonistic bro. (Hey, we all cope in different ways.) There are the requisite bowling shirt, liquor and cigars, but nothing truly says Charlie better than when Alan, after calling for Asian hookers while institutionalized, utters: "Winning!"? Still, it doesn't beat Jimmy Fallon's impression.
1. Worst Show of Cockiness: With the identity of her patient concealed, Cristina decides to time herself during a high-tech surgery on Grey's Anatomy. The "patient" was most likely doomed from the start, but after Cristina calls time of death, Owen reveals to her that the man on the table was Henry, Teddy's husband. We've seen Cristina break down before, but it's never been as heartbreaking as when we witness her silent emotional collapse from behind a pane of glass.

saviresamk · ScienceDaily (Nov. 10, 2011)

ScienceDaily (Nov. 10, 2011) ? Just as an expert chess player sacrifices a piece to protect the queen, the solar system may have given up a giant planet and spared Earth, according to an article recently published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters.

"We have all sorts of clues about the early evolution of the solar system," says author Dr. David Nesvorny of the Southwest Research Institute. "They come from the analysis of the trans-Neptunian population of small bodies known as the Kuiper Belt, and from the lunar cratering record."

These clues suggest that the orbits of giant planets were affected by a dynamical instability when the solar system was only about 600 million years old. As a result, the giant planets and smaller bodies scattered away from each other.

Some small bodies moved into the Kuiper Belt and others traveled inward, producing impacts on the terrestrial planets and the Moon. The giant planets moved as well. Jupiter, for example, scattered most small bodies outward and moved inward.

This scenario presents a problem, however. Slow changes in Jupiter's orbit, such as the ones expected from interaction with small bodies, would have conveyed too much momentum to the orbits of the terrestrial planets. Stirring up or disrupting the inner solar system and possibly causing Earth to collide with Mars or Venus.

"Colleagues suggested a clever way around this problem," says Nesvorny. "They proposed that Jupiter's orbit quickly changed when Jupiter scattered off of Uranus or Neptune during the dynamical instability in the outer solar system." The "jumping-Jupiter" theory, as it is known, is less harmful to the inner solar system, because the orbital coupling between the terrestrial planets and Jupiter is weak if Jupiter jumps.

Nesvorny conducted thousands of computer simulations of the early solar system to test the jumping-Jupiter theory. He found that, as hoped for, Jupiter did in fact jump by scattering from Uranus or Neptune. When it jumped, however, Uranus or Neptune was knocked out of the solar system. "Something was clearly wrong," he says.

Motivated by these results, Nesvorny wondered whether the early solar system could have had five giant planets instead of four. By running the simulations with an additional giant planet with mass similar to that of Uranus or Neptune, things suddenly fell in place. One planet was ejected from the solar system by Jupiter, leaving four giant planets behind, and Jupiter jumped, leaving the terrestrial planets undisturbed.

"The possibility that the solar system had more than four giant planets initially, and ejected some, appears to be conceivable in view of the recent discovery of a large number of free-floating planets in interstellar space, indicating the planet ejection process could be a common occurrence," says Nesvorny.

This research was funded by the National Lunar Science Institute and the National Science Foundation.

The paper, "Young Solar System's Fifth Giant Planet?" by Dr. David Nesvorny was published online by The Astrophysical Journal Letters.
