Reese Witherspoon is ready to make it official with boyfriend Jim Toth: The couple are engaged, PEOPLE confirms.
The Oscar-winning actress, 34, and Toth, 40, began quietly dating last January and quickly grew serious about each other.
In October, a source close to Toth, an agent at Creative Artists Agency in Los Angeles, told PEOPLE he was smitten with Witherspoon.

ATLANTA: Around September 11, 2001, not long after she founded the Islamic Speakers Bureau of Atlanta, Soumaya Khalifa heard from a group whose name sounded like " Bakers Club." It wanted a presentation.
The address was unfamiliar, but she went anyway. The group turned out to be the Bickerers Club, whose members love to argue. Islam was their topic du jour and their venue was a tavern. Khalifa laughed, and made the best of it.
Khalifa, born in Egypt and raised in Texas, wears a head scarf but also juggles, comfortably, the demands of American suburbia: crowded schedule, minivan and all. She is one of a type now found in most US cities: vocal...

WASHINGTON: Air and rail traffic was limping back to normalcy in eastern USA after a monster blizzard left thousands of holiday travellers, including Indian Americans, stranded at airports and broke off power supplies across towns and cities.
Weather showed a remarkable improvement today in the six worst affected states that have been all but paralysed under a shroud of icy white.
However, fresh reports said many of the travelers stranded at airports are unlikely to reach home before the yearend in view of the long delays.
More than 5,000 flights were cancelled at airports across the US as more than half of the country was covered with heavy...

1. Decide on your big goals. Do you want to have more money in your bank account? Take a five-star vacation? If you're having trouble putting your finger on it, ask the people who know you best. Brainstorming with your significant other, family members, and friends can help shake loose your own thoughts.2. Share those goals with other people. Telling friends and family members about your plans will help you stick to them. But you don't necessarily have to share your goals with people you know. At 43things.com, strangers list goals such as "save 20 percent of what I earn" or "identify 100 things that make me happy (besides money)." The website...

KOKONOGI, Japan—A blood-orange blob the size of a small refrigerator emerged from the dark waters, its venomous tentacles trapped in a fishing net. Within minutes, hundreds more were being hauled up, a pulsating mass crowding out the catch of mackerel and sea bass. The fishermen leaned into the nets, grunting and grumbling as they tossed the translucent jellyfish back into the bay, giants weighing up to 200 kilograms (450 pounds), marine invaders that are putting the men's livelihoods at risk.The venom of the Nomura, the world's largest jellyfish, a creature up to 2 meters (6 feet) in diameter, can ruin a whole day's catch by tainting or killing...

Rumor Patrol! Which Royal Wedding Stories Are True (or) Not?(pic)

As excitement builds for the royal wedding, so do the rumors about the bride and groom. So, what's fact and what's fiction?
• Rumor: Due to Kate Middleton's equine allergy, the couple won't have the traditional horse-drawn carriage ride on the big day.
Likely fiction. Palace aides have not confirmed how the couple will be ushered to and from their wedding site, Westminster Abbey. But a source suggests that horses, carriages and the usual finery will be included. "There will be a procession," says the insider.
• Rumor: Kate's getting advice from Camilla.
Not entirely fiction. Prince William's stepmother, Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, may be...

The worry lines are finally starting to fade.
After 18 months of a stutter-step recovery, the economy seems to be gathering steam. Most companies that survived the recession are lean and profitable, and there's a good chance they'll begin hiring again in 2011. Consumers who have jobs feel better about their prospects, which means they'll be more comfortable spending money. The latest stimulus and tax-cut plan out of Washington is surprisingly meaty, with the impact likely to be felt in many American households. "Despite threats, 2011 is shaping up to be a better year for the U.S. economy," writes economist Mark Zandi of Moody's Analytics, who...
