For fans of the series, ABC will air the final four episodes of 666 Park Avenue, starting tomorrow, Saturday, June 22, at 9/8c.
It was last November that the network canceled the first-year series due to weak ratings. While it started the season well, viewership gradually dropped from week-to-week, averaging 4 million viewers.
The remaining 4 episodes are titled "The Comfort of Death," "Sins of the Fathers," "The Elysian Fields" and "Lazarus: Part 1."
They will run from June 22 through July 13.

Stephanie | July 20, 2013 4:01 AM
This show was so intriguing and kept you guessing what was going to happen next! It was not the average show on TV and shame on the network for not promoting it and canceling it! It had such an intriguing storyline and kept us wondering what was going to happen next and for the network to try to close up everything in one episode is bull and just makes me want to stop watching any new shows. Thanks a lot ABC. You got rid of a truly unique show that had so much potential. And way to go not even a full closing to it. Guess maybe you want to keep all the other over played professions network TV like to make a program out of.
Catherine | July 17, 2013 1:07 AM
BOOOOO! I can't believe they canceled this show. I loved it! Oh well...another good series that doesn't fit the same ole' cookie cutter mold show ....out the door....
Destiny tran | July 15, 2013 2:34 AM
ABC is crazy! I don't even know why they cancel this exciting show. I am pissed as hell. This show is not just exciting, but it makes you look forward to see what happen next. Please bring back this show, ABC. There's not much to watch on TV now a day. This show should not be cancel!

AHzoo651 | July 6, 2013 11:05 PM
Although "Park Avenue 666" got off to a slow start, it had become quite engrossing a few episodes before ABC made the shortsighted decision to cancel it. I thought "Park Avenue" and "Revenge" made a great evening of TV. I have not found "Red Widow" to be a replacement for "Park Avenue." ABC: Bring this series back! Viewers do not live by reality TV alone!
ScriptTease | June 22, 2013 12:40 PM
I really enjoyed this show, and thought it was doing good. Scary to think what Television will be like 5-10 years from now. Can we survive off reality alone?
browneyesblue | June 21, 2013 5:55 PM
I went to the panel for this show at New York Comic Con 2012. There was a massive turn out for it. It is sad how such a good show was cancelled. SMDH

In addition to the characteristic physical features and decreased mental abilities, other health problems frequently are seen in people with Down syndrome. These include:
People with Down syndrome develop leukemia more often than those without the disorder, and they are more likely to develop infections, problems with the immune system, skin disorders and seizures.
Infants with Down syndrome usually develop more slowly than other children of the same age, although a wide variation is seen. Language development is typically much slower, as is motor development. Their body strength may seem a little weak. For example, most toddlers walk between 12 and 14 months of age, but toddlers with Down syndrome walk between 15 and 36 months.

Clinton, located in the southwestern part of Ohio's Summit County, offers residents a simpler, slower pace of life in a village filled with history. Ten of Clinton's canal, railroad, and industrial resources have been placed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The small village offers excellent education through the Norton City School District, and although settled in a quiet setting, it is close to major shopping and attractions in Akron and North Canton.
In 1807, the land west of the Tuscarawas River became part of Franklin Township and the Village of Clinton was founded in 1816. By 1827, the village had grown exponentially with the advent of the canals and Clinton became a popular destination for business and transportation. Bituminous Coal was also a commodity for Clinton and was easily shipped via the canals to Akron and Cleveland.
The popularity of the canals was short-lived and all was lost when railroads replaced the canals as the preferred mode of transportation. When several floods in the early 1900's destroyed the canals, it was cost-prohibitive to rebuild.
According to the 2000 census, Clinton has 1337 residents, 97.7% of whom are white, .4% African-American, and .4% Asian. In addition, 62% of Clinton residents are married. The median age is 40 and the median household income is $49,353.
There are a few restaurants within the Village of Clinton. However, residents are just a short drive from nearby Green, North Canton, or Akron and the many dining options offered there. Within Clinton, you'll find:
- JBs Bar & Grill
- Top Cat Lounge
Shopping is limited to a few places within the Village of Clinton, but residents are only minutes from major shopping centers in Akron and North Canton. Located within Clinton are:
- AJ's Rad Rides Arps Hardware
- Browns Appliance
- Clinton True Value
- Rock & River Adventure Supply
Clinton students attend the Norton City School District that has a current enrollment of around 2,600 students. The Norton City District has achieved the second highest rating of Excellent for the Local Report Card assessment as given by the Ohio Department of Education. There is one elementary school located within the village of Clinton with an enrollment of 232.
The Ohio Vietnam Veterans' Memorial Park is located on Cleveland-Massillon Road in Clinton. This park honors the 3,095 Ohioans that died during the Vietnam War. Bricks with names of servicemen from all wars pave the way to the memorial monument. The village also maintains the Warwick Park where they are pleased to have turkey buzzards as new residents. Those living in Clinton also enjoy the convenience of being just one village away from the Portage Lakes State Park.

There are a couple of things that could be causing issues when you LAN is attached. One being spyware - if you decode the packets you can find out what IP address is still broadcasting traffic. There could also be an error in someone's IP address, gateway, or subnet mask making them jump the router. I assume you are running a firewall, so it may be prudent to upgrade to the latest and greatest version. Your ISP should be able to provide you with the address of the communicating device if you don't have a sniffer. They should also be able to tell you what type of traffic (by IP port, anyway) so that you can more easily narrow this down.
If you don't have a sniffer and they can't or won't help you, try downloading one of the demo versions or a free one just to get you started. More than likely, you have a device or two that is being a bandwidth hog or perhaps your server is trying to communicate with your routers because it is routing.
As you don't say you are having any problems accessing websites, I am assuming that DNS is not a problem, but rather a single device or maybe a couple that are driving your latency up. If you try these things and are still having problems, feel free to send me your results and we can move on to another step.

Whimmydiddle brings 'million-dollar day'
By BECKY MALEWITZ
By BECKY MALEWITZ
SCOTT CITY — Saturday marked the 41st anniversary of Scott City's annual Whimmydiddle festival, and Louise Buell from Garden City has had a booth at almost all of them.
Buell, who creates and sells Raggedy Ann and Andy dolls and tea towels for her booth, covered by a blue and white tent, can remember setting up on the courthouse lawn years ago before the arts and craft show moved to it's current location in the city park.
The brightly colored dolls pinned to the tent walls attracted a variety of parents and children, including 2-year-old Piper Jessup, who seemed to be singing a song as she touched the bright red yarn hair of one doll and then the purple yarn hair of a K-State Raggedy Ann.
"We are liking this. It turned out to be a nice day," Kristin Jessup said as she watched her daughter trying to pick out a favorite. "She's loving these dolls."
"Loving these dolls," Piper repeated with a big smile on her face.
After some deliberation, Piper walked up to Buell holding a Raggedy Ann in one hand and a Raggedy Andy in the other.
"Oh see, this is why I make them," Buell said, looking down at the 2-year-old. "The kids just love them."
At the other end of the park, Tonja Williams stood at her booth with her daughter, Aubrey Horton, and mother, Carrie Marion, selling "Tonja's Toffee."
Although the Modoc resident has been to the annual event many times as a customer, this year was her first trip as a vendor.
"It goes faster having people come to me," Williams said. "I think this year seems a lot busier than what I have seen in the past."
Williams, who just started selling her homemade toffee, was using Whimmydiddle to get her product out.
"It's been awesome. It's been a great experience. It's been a great way to meet new people and get your product to your customer base," she said. "I will definitely be here next year."
According to members of the Alpha Omega, a chapter of Epsilon Sigma Alpha sorority who run the annual festival, this year brought a similar total number of booths as last year's, but there were 45 new vendors in the park.
"It's a million dollar day between sales and tax. It doesn't just benefit here at the park, it's the whole town. Husbands go golfing at the golf course while their wives come shop. They get done here, they go downtown to the local shops, and boy do they eat in the restaurants in town. And the hotels are booked a year in advance," said Kathy Funk, Alpha Omega member. "It impacts the entire community."

moreEvent History Modeling, first published in 2004, provides an accessible guide to event history analysis for researchers and advanced students in the social sciences. The substantive focus of many social science research problems leads directly to the consideration of duration models, and many problems would be better analyzed by using these longitudinal methods to take into account not only whether the event happened, but when. The foundational principles of event history analysis are discussed and ample examples are estimated and interpreted using standard statistical packages, such as STATA and S-Plus. Critical innovations in diagnostics are discussed, including testing the proportional hazards assumption, identifying outliers, and assessing model fit. The treatment of complicated events includes coverage of unobserved heterogeneity, repeated events, and competing risks models. The authors point out common problems in the analysis of time-to-event data in the social sciences and make recommendations regarding the implementation of duration modeling methods. less

Welcome to the country of "the happiest people in the world". The Danish welfare society is characterized by high quality of life and a renowned work-life balance.
Numerous international studies place Danish inhabitants at the top of happiness and general satisfaction rankings.
The Danes are generally well-educated, well-informed, yet at the same time enjoy a distinctly Danish informality. This gives the Danes a relaxed and often humorous attitude to authorities and life itself.
In Denmark you will find that the distances are short – and this makes it possible to combine the atmosphere of a buzzing city life with the relaxation of the beautiful Danish country- and seaside.
Clean beaches and green forests are rarely more than a half hour's drive away. And your children can roam freely and safely, while you explore all the many cultural and artistic offerings available.
Denmark's high taxation rates stem from the emphasis placed on work-life balance, democracy and other areas people prioritise. This gives rise to a welfare society that runs smoothly in many respects. The high level of social welfare contributes to a society that is accustomed to generally high standards with free education, health care, etc.
Besides free education and health care, all citizens and people working in Denmark have access to a number of common goods. Everyone benefits from a well-maintained cycling and driving infrastructure, an extensive and stable public transport system, multiple free cultural activities and supreme recreational facilities such as parks and public spaces that enhance the general quality of life.
Workplace culture in Denmark varies from company to company. But even though there is no single work culture, there are some specifics that seem to characterise the experiences of expats working here. Some of the most commonly cited include: flat management structures, teamwork and work-life balance.
Many expats coming to Denmark describe their experience of Danish work culture as flat-structured and informal. This means, for example, that all employees and managers address each other by their first names, and that most decisions are discussed in forums where all employees have an equal say.
The employee demand for flexible work hours is due to the fact that the majority of both men and women work. Denmark is actually the only country amongst the members of the OECD, in which maternity does not hinder the employment of women at all (OECD 2009).

Some homes and some organizations in town, such as Madison Hose Co. No. 1, are having trouble doing so because their flag flies at a 45 degree angle. Lowering it to half staff would mean the flag would hit the building.
So Madison Hose Co. No. 1 intends to obtain a black ribbon or streamer to attach to the town of the flag, which the American Legion says is an acceptable alternative to flying the flag at half staff.
"The ribbon should be the same width as a stripe on the flag and the same length as the flag," according to the American Legion. "For a wall mounted flag, three black mourning bows should be attached to the top edge of the flag, one at each corner and one at the center."

HOUSTON – Friday morning temps will be quite humid with a small chance for coastal showers, according to KHOU 11 News Meteorologist Brooks Garner.
There will be a 30-percent chance for scattered rain in the Houston area on Friday afternoon with temps topping off at 96 degrees.
The weekend looks the same – daytime temperatures in the mid-90s and a chance for scattered rain coming in off the Gulf.
Next week our daytime temperatures will drop a few degrees into the low-90s.
Out in the Caribbean, Gabrielle lost its tropical storm status early Thursday. While it brought heavy rain to Puerto Rico, it's now expected to fall apart into a low-pressure system.

The Over-the-Rhine Foundation is neck-in-neck for a first place finish in the 2011 This Place Matters Community Challenge, an online competition hosted by the National Trust for Historic Preservation.
The non-profit is vying to win $25,000 to save at-risk historic buildings in Over-the-Rhine. But to do so, it still needs votes.
The online voting competition ends at 5 p.m. Thursday. To helps its cause, the Foundation will be at Fountain Square Wednesday from 11:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. to help register online voters.
The same effort will be under way Wednesday night at Neon's in Over-the-Rhine where online voters can register in the bar's courtyard.
The foundation is one of 100 finalists in the nationl competition, which will award three preservation associations, buildings or projects $25,000, $10,000 or $5,000 in funds to use toward their cause. Votes are cast by entering an email address and zip code here.
Late Wednesday morning the group was in first place, just ahead of the Preservation Society of Newport County in Rhode Island.
According to the Foundation's entry, Over-the-Rhine has lost more than 50 percent of its 19th century building stock since 1930 and is among the Trust's most endangered communities. The foundation helps property owners comply with the city of Cincinnati's vacant building codes, provides resources for owners who wish to rehabilitate or purchase at-risk buildings and lobbies to save those buildings from demolition.
"Winning the prize would not only help us save more endangered buildings in our historic neighborhood, but would also raise awareness about the transformation going on in Over-the-Rhine and its importance to the economy and vitality of Cincinnati," said Sean Rhiney, vice president of the foundation's board of trustees told The Enquirer earlier this month.
In January, Laura Baverman blogged after the city posted its list of buildings most in danger: http://www2.cincinnati.com/blogs/developingnow/2011/01/25/city-posts-historic-buildings-in-danger/

#ebc11 #edtech #elearning #iste11
I am currently hanging out in the blogger cafe at ISTE 2011 in Philadelphia and having a great time with my fellow bloggers. But before I get caught up with everything ISTE, I wanted to get a few things written down about yesterday's Edubloggercon. So here are my five take-aways:
1. BYOD IS UNSTOPPABLE. (Bring Your Own Device) Five years from now we will be laughing about how we wanted to buy all students a district owned laptop for 1:1, when all students really wanted to do was to bring their own devices like iPods, iPads, and smartphones. We need to let them store in the cloud and not on our networks and let them use cloud based apps like Google Docs.
2. TEACH WITH PASSION, LEARN WITH PASSION: We all crowded around a local 16 year old student named Jeff who taught us that he wants to learn from teachers who are passionate about their subjects so that he can be passionate about his learning. He has been lucky that at his school he has such teachers — we were amazed.
3. STUDENTS SHOULD HELP STUDENTS: Before a student gets help from his teacher he should ask 3 or 4 of his classmates. Holy crud, the teacher doesn't have all the answers! I don't know how to use Prezi, so should I ban my students from using it? No, instead we should let them teach each other technology that we don't understand.
4. STUDENTS WANT SOME AUTONOMY: They want to have a little choice in what they do. If we give an assignment, we should let them pick their own method of learning proof — sometimes. You could really be surprised by what you get back (good and bad).
5. MAKE A GOOGLE CLASSROOM: This one is connected to the point I made above. If you don't know already, the company of Google has an 80/20 rule. Employees are to give 80% of their time to current Google projects, the other 20% of the time they can work on whatever they want — they still must work, but they can work on anything. Imagine if we allowed that at school. Just think of the cool projects that kids could work on during this free learning time.
To be fair, I must admit that only attended 1/8th of the discussion, since there were 8 classes per hour and I had to pick. So this was my take, other participants probably walked away with totally different ideas.

I like your take aways. Funny how, after reading them, obvious they are. I kept wanting to say, "Well, duh…" As long as we have Edubloggercons, Edcamps, and big Edtech conferences like ISTE the message will spread and the wave will have a direct impact on the teaching profession.
First, thanks so much for sharing. Summer school starts tomorrow so I am unable to be in Philly, so greatly appreciate the ideas that those of you that are there, are willing to share.
Like Chris, I find myself thinking that these things are so obvious, and yet so inspiring. But even more than that, I find it rather upsetting that I doubt many school principals or superintendents would agree. Kids get it, many teachers get it…why can't leadership buy in and take action?
Have a great week. I look forward to reading more of your thoughts and take-aways.
Thanks for the wrap-up. The BYOD will be interesting to watch. At this point in time I still think schools need to buy devices for kids but in 5 years we'll probably be at BYOD. However it will be the lessons learned from those schools that went 1:1 that will hep us better you BYOD when that day comes. It's all just a step in the journey.

Paul Poiret
But beyond the intense drama, the soaring highs and crushing lows, there is another, lesser-known story—one that went untold until Poiret's silhouettes and innovations found new resonance at the turn of another century. This is a story of firsts: Most important, Poiret was the first couturier to embrace draping over the more traditional techniques of tailoring and corsetry; in doing so he played a pivotal role in liberating women from what, by 1900, had evolved into a constricting S-shape that divided its wearer into two masses and made her look, in Poiret's words, like "she was hauling a trailer."[1] Draping freed not just the woman but the designer as well, allowing him to develop the innovations that became his trademarks: billowing kimono coats, neoclassical Empire and lampshade dresses, and hobble skirts. And these, as Hamish Bowles of Vogue would write in 2005, would "prefigure a century of fashion."[2]
With his cosmetics line, Rosine, and his housewares shop, Martine, Poiret created the first fully cross-pollinated lifestyle brand, anticipating Chanel No 5 by a decade and the likes of Ralph Lauren by some three-quarters of a century. He was a wonder at spotting emerging talents, bringing to light the illustrator and Fauvist painter Raoul Dufy (by commissioning him to design prints) and another couturier with radical ideas, Elsa Schiaparelli (whom he encouraged early in her career). He was the first Parisian couturier to travel to America to display his wares. He was the first to dare women to dress as individuals.
Interviewed by Vogue in 1909, Poiret described an encounter he'd had with five women at a fashionable restaurant in Paris. They were carbon copies of one another, "poured into the same mould," with corsets and matching hairdos-of-the-moment. "I could not help fancying that in case of a panic, and they were found mixed up together, their husbands would be excused for mistaking one for the other," he said. By contrast, "the true élégantes" were "those who discover fashions, who dare, create—not those who follow."[3]
Despite his indisputable abilities to forecast the shape of things to come, Poiret despised Modernism, capital M. He was an Orientalist, and he loved rich embellishment and embroideries. When the Jazz Age ushered in sleeker, more utilitarian modes—which then would develop into the fashion-as-industrial-product concept of 1930s streamlined design—he refused to play along. It was his financial downfall.
"It is ironic that Poiret rejected Modernism, given that his technical and commercial innovations were fundamental to its emergence and development,"[4] Harold Koda and Andrew Bolton of the Metropolitan Museum of Art would later write.But in fashion, all things are cyclical. And so, a few years into the new millennium—after a decade or two of bared navels and Bumster jeans—waistless, ballooned shapes were once again the height of chic, and the vision of Poiret rose, shimmering, from the ashes. The Met's Costume Institute mounted an exhibit in 2007 that, with its title, endorsed the grand sobriquet he'd crowned himself with in his own 1931 memoir: "King of Fashion."
Paul Poiret born, the son of a cloth merchant, in Paris's working-class quartier of Les Halles. The proud boy will be sent by his tradesman father to apprentice with an umbrella manufacturer, where—as Hamish Bowles will later write in Vogue—he gathers "the scraps of silk left over after the umbrella patterns had been cut," and uses them "to dress a little wooden doll that his
sisters . . . had given him."[5]
Having already sold sketches to dressmakers such as Madeleine Chéruit at the house of Raudnitz et Cie, young Poiret is hired by Jacques Doucet, one of the capital's most prominent couturiers. Beginning as a junior assistant, he is soon promoted to head of the tailoring department. His debut design for Doucet, a red wool cloak with a reverse gray crepe-de-chine lining, receives 400 orders from customers. It isn't long before Doucet charges him with designing costumes for celebrated stage actresses, such as Gabrielle Réjane and Sarah Bernhardt. But when the Divine Sarah, then 56, overhears him mocking her appearance in her famous trouser role—as the adolescent son of Napoléon, in L'Aiglon—she has him fired.
Still only 21, reluctantly leaves Paris for mandatory military service.
Returning to Paris, hired by the much-revered House of Worth. Gaston and Jean-Philippe Worth have taken over from their recently deceased father, founder Charles Frederick Worth; they do not encourage him as Doucet had. Instead of working on the opulent eveningwear that the house is known for, Poiret is put in charge of the less glamorous and more practical items. His work is not exactly embraced by Worth's conservative clientele. (According to Poiret's autobiography, My First Fifty Years, when he presents Russian Princess Bariatinsky with a new kimono coat, she exclaims, aghast: "What a horror; with us, when there are low fellows who run after our sledges and annoy us, we have their heads cut off, and we put them in sacks like that.")
His confidence unflagging, despite his experience at Worth, he breaks out on his own and, after borrowing funds from his mother, opens his own shop on Rue Auber. Its flashy window displays attract attention.
Poiret marries childhood friend Denise, with whom he'll go on to have five children (Rosine, Martine, Colin, Perrine, and Gaspard). "She was extremely simple," he later will say, "and all those who have admired her since I made her my wife would certainly not have chosen her in the state in which I found her."[6] Denise Poiret will eventually become his artistic director as well as muse, wearing his designs as they travel around Europe together and winning a reputation as a trendsetter. (A fact her husband will later take credit for: "I had a designer's eye, and I saw her hidden graces.")[7]
Moves his atelier to 37 Rue Pasquier.
His first album of fashion designs, Les Robes de Paul Poiret, with illustrations by Paul Iribe, is published.
Moves again, this time to 9 Avenue d'Antin. Lady Asquith, wife of British Prime Minister H. H. Asquith, invites him to show gowns at 10 Downing Street. Stories of half-nude models running amok at the prime minister's residence cause a furor in the press, and the resulting scandal almost forces Asquith to resign. "From the talk occasioned by the exhibition arose a great deal of unpleasant newspaper rancor as to the invasion it represented of British soil by the traditional Gallic enemy,"[8] reports Vogue.
Introduces Rosine, a perfume and cosmetics line named after his eldest daughter; it will be so successful that legendary French fragrance magnate François Coty will later try to buy it. Also opens École Martine, a decorative-arts school for underprivileged but gifted girls. It has a shop attached that turns student paintings into bold prints and fabrics, which are then sold with furniture items. Travels to Russia and is impressed by the exoticism of Moscow. The trip is followed with a massive fancy-dress party at his home in Paris, which he calls "The Thousand And Second Night." He dresses the part of a Sultan. The bejeweled silk harem pants he makes for Denise (who plays the part of a concubine) are said to be inspired by a production of Scheherazade by the Ballet Russes; they eventually become the basis for a new kind of lampshade silhouette that is soon all the rage.
March: Expanding on his obsession with Orientalism, designs costumes for Jacques Richepin's ballet Le Minaret. September: Travels to New York with Denise to tour department stores and give a series of lectures. The Manhattan fashion world welcomes them with noisy fanfare. The New York Times runs the excited headline, "Poiret, Creator of Fashions, Is Here."[9] November: Vogue sends a photographer to shoot Denise in their suite at the Plaza Hotel.
With the outbreak of World War I, enlists in the army. He will serve as a military tailor. While he is gone, his house is forced to subsist on the few designs that had been on his drawing table when he was called up.
Returns to Paris briefly to design the fall collection, but after two of his children die suddenly (first Rosine from an ear infection, then Gaspard from Spanish influenza), he abandons the idea. His house will now lay dormant until the end of the war in 1918. He does release one perfume during this time, Sang de France, but the authorities ban it.
After being discharged from the army, returns to Paris to reopen his house.
Meets a young Elsa Schiaparelli. They strike up a friendship and he gives her clothes to wear to in-crowd hangouts. He encourages her to start her own line, which she will do a few years later.
Because he has failed to move on from his pre-war aesthetic, his designs start to be eclipsed by those of younger, more modern designers such as Coco Chanel. Struggling, he decides to sell the rights to his business to a group of backers. His new maison du couture, however, is described by a visitor as "rich and tasteless. His struggle to be unusual has wound up making it all impossible. It's like a sweetshop."[10] He commissions three grand and highly decorated barges to be his installation at the Arts Décoratifs exhibit; moored on the banks of the Seine, they feature prints commissioned by Fauvist painter Raoul Dufy—but the cost is enough to nearly cripple Poiret.
Citing her husband's relentless cruelty, Denise Poiret files for divorce. Novelist and provocateur Jean Cocteau lampoons Poiret's outdated designs with the cartoon "Poiret Leaves—Chanel Arrives,"[11] a sketch contrasting the bulky, top-heavy outline of a Poiret silhouette with that of a much slicker Chanel waif.
His business is closed by its new owners, and what remains of his designs is sold by weight as scrap. No longer able to afford his palatial town house, he is forced to sell most of his furniture and paintings. Moves into an apartment above the Salle Pleyel concert hall.
His book On Dressing This Age, outlining his approach to design, published.
His autobiography, My First Fifty Years, published.
Destitute, he is reported to be appearing in a circus tent in department stores, such as Printemps in Paris and Liberty of London, designing dresses for housewives for the equivalent of $4 a piece.
Dies in April, at 64, in German-occupied Paris, having survived for years on the dole. His old friend Elsa Schiaparelli is said to step in and pay for his burial. The New York Times reports in his obituary that "his career had not been followed by the newspapers"[12] since 1936, when he was discovered working as a bartender.
"La Création en Liberté," an auction of more than 600 items belonging to Denise Poiret, opens in Paris. Twenty-eight pieces from the auction are bought by New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art. Denise's costume from the "Thousand And Second Night" party is described by historian Paul Ettesvold as a milestone that "represents a style as revolutionary as the New Look of Christian Dior or the minidresses of Mary Quant."[13]
Poiret: King of Fashion opens at the Met Costume Institute. The New York Times says that the "sumptuous survey . . . will transform your understanding of the origin of modern fashion."[14]

Martin Mayhew looking for a Lions RB 'with some juice'
By Kareem Copeland
Around the League Writer
Published: Jan. 10, 2013 at 11:04 a.m.
Updated: Jan. 10, 2013 at 11:19 a.m.
The Detroit Lions are getting around to something they should have focused on last offseason -- a running back.
General manager Martin Mayhew recently admitted it was a mistake not having a backup plan for the concussed Jahvid Best, who was never cleared in 2012. His career may be over. That left the Lions with the physical Mikel Leshoure, undrafted street free agent Joique Bell and injury-prone Kevin Smith.
"We need that shifty back that can come in and be a change-of-pace guy and catch passes out of the backfield," Mayhew told the team website. "A guy that can run routes and get one-on-one and beat a linebacker. That's what Jahvid gave us, a guy with some juice and some elusiveness."
The Lions had the No. 23 run game in the NFL while Bell filled Best's role with 52 catches for 485 yards. That offense could be one of the best in the NFL if Matthew Stafford can regain his 2011 form and the Lions add another playmaker to the backfield in that Darren Sproles mold. Stafford set an NFL record with 727 pass attempts in 2012. The coaching staff would love to supplement that and the run game with some easy, quick throws to an elusive back in space.
Best and Leshoure were drafted in back-to-back years to capture that finesse-power combination. Mayhew has to find the front end of that before August.

Corporations and S Corporations must file and pay their federal income taxes by March 15. Not April 15. Maybe this is one advantage to having a limited liability company, partnership, or sole proprietorship, because they are not required to pay taxes until April 15. If you think you will not be able to file by the March 15 deadline, you can file an extension on IRS Form 7004,which will give you until September 15 to file.
BUT even if you file an extension, you must still estimate the tax you owe and pay that tax by March 15. There's no extension on payment.
Of course, if you have been paying estimated taxes, you will have paid most of your federal income taxes. Now it's time to complete your corporate tax return and pay any balance due. But don't tackle that corporate tax return yourself; you will need a competent tax preparer to do this work.
For more information on preparing your corporate income tax return, see my Corporate Income Tax Return Guide. It includes information on filing for an extension, paying estimated taxes, and more.

The specter of a "worst-case" scenario that would leave the Wauwatosa Schools facing a $6.5 million shortfall seemed to loom more likely this week as Superintendent Phil Ertl began to talk in specifics about where big cuts would have to come.
"One thing I can tell you," Ertl said Monday, "we will not be recommending contract extensions" to unions that serve the district.
The problem facing Ertl and his staff is that the savings included in legislation AB10, known as the budget repair bill, that would make up most of a 5.5 percent overall reduction in school aid in the proposed state budget, is in limbo while AB10 makes its way through court challenges.
It's a double-whammy for the schools if the state budget goes into effect without the provisions of AB10 in place. The school district must adopt a budget by June 30 and has an even earlier June 1 deadline for delivering notice of teacher layoffs, leaving little time to find deep spending cuts.
"Whether AB10 goes into effect or does not go into effect, our driving force is the budget," Ertl told the School Board. "I believe we will be able to bring a balanced budget forward for consideration."
Board member Phil Kroner told Ertl that he did not want to see program cuts.
"Define 'program,'" Ertl said.
"Art... music... larger class sizes," Kroner replied.
Ertl then made it clear where he was headed.
"We're not looking to cut art or cut music," he said. "We're looking for concessions from our employees."
Even if he were willing to make major program cuts or large faculty layoffs, it would not fill the gap, Ertl said. Two weeks earlier, Ertl had noted that cutting class offerings would only force more students into remaining core classes.
Hypothetically, he said, "Adding 10 students to every class, we're still short $1.5 million."
Avoiding the unpopular choices of cutting programs or increasing class sizes by reducing faculty leaves only one real option – getting faculty and staff to accept major concessions on pay and benefits, and soon.
Calling the budget an "ongoing process," Ertl repeated that the district would fulfill its mandated obligation: "Our goal, first and foremost, is to present a balanced budget by June 30."

Antawn Jamison on Thursday had another MRI done on his right shoulder, and said that the results showed no further damage than what was believed the day after he was initially evaluated following an MRI on Oct. 15.
Jamison, who partially dislocated the shoulder on Oct. 14, was first told that he would miss the rest of the preseason for sure, and that he would have another MRI done the following week (which was yesterday).
The two-time All-Star said when reached on Friday: "Nothing new, just confirmed what we knew before, subluxation. Originally they said four weeks from the initial injury, so that's what I'm waiting for. I'm able to do more and more each day, so I'm still just waiting for them to clear me so I can get back out there."
Although Jamison, who has resumed lifting weights and has full range of motion in his shoulder, is hoping to return in three weeks, it could be longer.
Wizards spokesman Scott Hall a short time later said the return date could be as soon as three weeks, as the Wizards' leading scorer and rebounder is hoping, but could be as many as five weeks.
It means Jamison could miss anywhere from the first five to 10 games of the regular season. With Jamison sidelined, coach Flip Saunders has alternated between Fabricio Oberto, who has primarily played center during his career, and Andray Blatche, who is Jamison's main backup.

Man held for trial in shooting case
WINDBER – A Paint Township man accused of trying to shoot a woman in October will face trial.
Lester E. Gindlesperger, 51, of Clearview Heights, waived his right to a preliminary hearing Monday before District Judge Joseph Cannoni, sending charges that include attempted homicide and aggravated assault to court.
Police alleged that Gindlesperger told a woman he was going to kill her, then fired a handgun, striking a pillow near her head. Alcohol also might have been a factor, investigators have said.
Burglars hit Armagh church
ARMAGH – Pentecostal Tabernacle in Armagh was burglarized between Nov. 25 and Friday, state police in Indiana said.
Police said someone entered the church by an unknown means and stole an amplifier and a guitar.
Anyone with information can call police at 724-357-1960.
Earlier, authorities said someone had broken into Samuels Lutheran Church in Somerset Township on Friday or Saturday and taken more than $2,000 in items that included candleholders, crosses and communion wine.
Anyone with information on that crime can call police at 445-4104.
Gay GOP legislator among nation's first
HARRISBURG – Pennsylvania state Rep. Mike Fleck is among the country's first Republican state legislators who are openly gay, according to a national advocacy group for gay and lesbian public officials.
Denis Dison of the Washington, D.C.-based Gay & Lesbian Victory Institute said Monday that Fleck also is currently the nation's only openly gay sitting Republican state legislator.
Fleck, 39, of Huntingdon County, came out in an interview published Saturday in The Daily News of Huntingdon County. He represents a conservative district between Altoona and State College.
Fleck told the Altoona Mirror newspaper Saturday night that he had been working toward the decision for months.
Fleck is the first and only current legislator from either party in Pennsylvania's Legislature who is openly gay.
Med tech in hep C case pleads not guilty
CONCORD, N.H. – A traveling hospital worker accused of stealing drugs and infecting patients with hepatitis C through contaminated syringes pleaded not guilty to the charges in New Hampshire federal court on Monday.
The man worked in Pittsburgh for a time.
David Kwiatkowski, whom prosecutors describe as a "serial infector," was indicted last week on multiple charges of tampering with a consumer product and illegally obtaining drugs.
Until May, Kwiatkowski worked as a cardiac technologist at Exeter Hospital, where 32 patients were diagnosed with the same strain of hepatitis C he carries. Before that, he worked in 18 hospitals in seven states.
Patients in Pennsylvania, Arizona, Georgia, Kansas, Maryland, Michigan and New York have since been tested for hepatitis C.
Kwiatkowski had a temporary job at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center-Presbyterian in 2008.
Town's Nativity moves to private property
ELLWOOD CITY – A Nativity display is up outside a former church in this western Pennsylvania community after a lawsuit threat prompted the town to remove the display from public property.
Ellwood City's Nativity scene was put in place Sunday. A local attorney paid for the new display and set it up outside the former church.
Mayor Anthony Court said the new creche in the new location "doesn't sit well" with him. He said city council should have stood up to the complaint from the Wisconsin-based Freedom From Religion Foundation.

May Weather in the CaribbeanWith average daily temperatures ranging between 76ºF and 86ºF and just 4.8 inches of rain (average number of days with rain in May: 9), you really can't beat the May weather in the Caribbean. It's great beach and swimming weather, not baking hot as in the height of summer, and even more northerly destinations like Bermuda are starting to warm up.
Visiting the Caribbean in May: ProsThe weather is great, there's no threat of hurricanes, resorts are into low-season mode with great rates and last-minute bargains, and there are plenty of events and festivals designed to bring visitors down to fill up those empty hotel rooms. So, what's not to like?
Visiting the Caribbean in May: ConsSome destinations may feel a bit "dead" at this time of year, and not every attraction may be open.
What to Wear and What to PackLoose-fitting cotton layers will keep you cool during the day, while a light sweater and slacks will be just right for the cooler evenings. Don't forget a swimsuit, plenty of sunscreen, a hat and sunglasses.
You'll want dressier clothes for visiting nice restaurants or clubs -- and bring more formal footwear than just flip-flops and sneakers.
More Tips on Packing for Your Caribbean Trip
May Events and FestivalsMay in the Caribbean signals the end of the Easter season, but the islands are hopping with concerts, sailing and fishing tournaments, dive events, and more. For details, check out my article on Top May Caribbean Events.

Laws are applied to enemies, but only interpreted as regards friends.
—Giovanni Giolitti, 1842–1928
Penetration testing, whether physical or electronic, carries with it a certain degree of inherent legal risk. It's important to understand the relevant legislation and how it affects penetration testers. It is sometimes very easy for a perfectly legal test to inadvertently cross the line into questionable legal territory. Usually this happens when the tester exceeds the scope of the test or the rules of engagement, but sometimes you can be engaged to do work (with both sides acting in good faith) that is intrinsically illegal. Understanding the law ensures that you don't put yourself (or your clients) in a legally vulnerable position. The legislation most relevant to the penetration tester may be found in the following acts of parliament:

Salamander Springs Farm
Berea, Kentucky
Salamander Springs Farm is a small, intensive farm producing a wide range of market crops, including grains & dry beans, without pesticides or chemical fertilizers of any kind and without mechanized tillage--instead using cover crops and intensive mulched beds. Vegetable crops include potatoes, tomatoes, onions, garlic, pumpkins & squash, cucumbers, peppers, greens, salad & stir-fry mixes as well as herbs & flowers. Black turtle beans, pinto beans, popcorn and heirloom wholegrain cornmeal are grown, dried, shelled, processed on the farm; 1# and 2# packages (with recipe) are available locally and online at LocalHarvest.org/store/M5606. Other 'Susana's Organics' products include dried culinary herbs & teas, herbal salves, luffa sponges, and heirloom corn seed (for the cornmeal) which is selected and sold through a VA heirloom seed company (www.southernexposure.com).
Salamander Springs Farm produce and products are sold year-round: at the Berea Farmer's Market from April-November; produce orders are delivered to the Berea winter market from November to April. Local Berea, KY area residents receive weekly postings of the farm produce list throughout the year (see http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/SalamanderSpringsFarmProduceList/messages).
Salamander Springs Farm encompasses 98 acres of hardwood Appalachian forest south of Berea, KY, purchased in 2000 by 4 founding members with the goal of establishing a rural community committed to sustainable, ecologically sound living. Susana's homestead, farm and business were created from scratch on approximately 8 acres of ridge-top meadow of her 24 acres of this land, starting in 2001 by building a gravity-fed spring water system, planting the first part of the orchard and building the first structures on the land--a shed and outhouse. Since then, she has developed the farm and homestead based on permaculture principles without the use of mechanization, developing and recycling local resources. Today the farm includes market gardens, grain & bean fields, orchard & nut trees, pasture, and several structures, including a small solar-powered house built from locally harvested and milled wood. Insulated bed frames and a hoop house are utilized for year-round production.
Apprenticeships at Salamander Springs Farm are available from April 15 to October 15 (see http://attra.ncat.org/attra-pub/internships/farmdetails.php?&FarmID=1337). During the season, work-exchanges such as WorldWide Opportunities On Organic Farms (www.wwoofusa.org), www.organicvolunteers.org and college service & learning programs are also organized. Conditions are rustic in a beautiful setting (platform tent camping or Tipi, open air kitchen shelter, solar shower, compost toilet, kerosene lights, solar electric); farm infrastructure and home are being developed from scratch using local, recycled and salvaged materials. This is a place to learn about cycling local resources & energy, homesteading from the ground up, living within one's means, and using permaculture principles to develop sustainable crop production.

The regular season comes to an end this weekend in collegiate women's hockey and over in Hockey East it's a showdown between classic rivals Boston University and Boston College.
The rivalry between the two schools on the men's side is legendary and it's pretty intense on the women's side, too.
But this year, there's a different twist.
It's also a bit of USA vs. Canada.
Boston University has three players on the Canadian Olympic team while Boston College has three players on Team USA.
So the showdown between Boston College, which is tops in Hockey East at 25-5-3 overall, and Boston University, second in the conference at 21-10-1 overall, in a way begins with the Olympic gold medal game Thursday.
"We've already locked up 1-2 in the conference so this is more of a practice run to see how we can do," said BU assistant coach Allison Coomey, who played and coached at Niagara. "There's definitely a rivalry there. We have one kid with the US team and they have one with Team Canada so we also have a bit of a US-Canada rivalry in a ot of ways. Our kids get along with their kids really well so it's really a positive competitive rivalry."
The Terriers have current player Marie-Philip Poulin on the Team Canada roster along with graduates Jenn Wakefield, Catherine Ward and Tara Watchorn.
The Eagles have current player Alex Carpenter on Team USA along with former players Molly Schaus and Kelli Stack.
Will the gold medal game be an omen for the final home-and-home series set for Saturday and Sunday? Choose your sides now.

In honor of the Woman's US Soccer team coming in Second Place in the World Cup, we brought in some hot Playboy girls to have some soccer fun with us Monday morning. Chrislyn, Laycee Cameron & Kamyla all did there best to avoid obstacles in order to score their goals topless!
Miss February 2011 Kylie Johnson stopped by the Mini Mansion Tuesday to chat with us. Kylie confessed that she's into guys with tattoos and piercings.
We also checked in via Skype with sexy Special Editions model Katie Evan on Tuesday morning. She has 30-I cup breasts! That's right – the letter "I"! And they're so fabulous that men actually follow her around when she's in public, just so they can stare. Katie was kind enough to give us a peek, so we're passing our good fortune along to you. You're welcome.
Wednesday morning, the very sexy Kea Ho stopped by to show off her brand new swimsuit line LOVECHILDE, modeled by the gorgeous Natalina Maggio – who KNOWS how to fill out a swimsuit! We sent them out with our intern David to gauge the reactions of guys in the neighborhood. We learned that he doesn't follow directions very well. They almost got arrested at the donut shop…Kea is co-hosting The Summer Solstice party at the Playboy Mansion this Saturday. You can get tickets here, if you're cool enough.
We also played "Know It or Show It" with Special Editions model Courtney Anne and her leggy redheaded partner in crime, Brooke. This was Courtney's first time on the show, so she reeeeeally layered up. We didn't get to see much skin – boo. We'll start the game earlier next time, we promise.
Miss August 2011 Iryna Ivanova called us Thursday morning to talk about how being a Playmate has changed her life! Check out the newest issue of PLAYBOY for her jaw-dropping pictorial!!!

(NOTE: Feel free to skip right to the meat of the deals in blue text below).
I'm always tinkering with my deals project and this is the latest I've come up with.
I think I'm friends with 3 real-life friends on Twitter. The pundits say Twitter is taking off and I see tons and tons of people on here, but it just hasn't hit my friends and family's radar and I'll bet most of you are in the same boat. You just don't get the hype (or desire to).
However, I couldn't be a bigger proponent of Twitter. I don't need a newspaper anymore. I can find *current* info from any company or source that I want with a couple of clicks. I spend countless days and hours pouring over it to deliver deals to an audience I'm not sure exists. (LOL)
If you love deals, you're missing out. But don't go running to Twitter (I know you won't!). I'll continue to keep you informed at least from a deals standpoint.
Here are the latest deals I've located for McLean based businesses. I'll try to add more in the comments below as I find them. Please feel free to do the same. Happy Thanksgiving and enjoy your shopping this weekend!

Report: Why YOU Need to Pay Attention to Today's Net Neutrality Ruling Fox News
Forget that you work in the industry. Jeremy Kaplan, who writes about technology at FoxNews.com, says there's a reason Jane and Joe Consumer need to pay attention to the Federal Communications Commission ruling on net neutrality:
Kaplan writes, "Thanks for watching that YouTube video! That will be 50 cents, please. Sound unrealistic? It's actually fairly likely, thanks to a ruling handed down Tuesday [Dec. 21, 2010] by the FCC that will allow Internet service providers to charge customers based on the amount of bandwidth they use. And some argue that it's the greatest threat to freedom we face today. Welcome to the complex world of net neutrality."
He continues, " 'Internet service giants like Comcast and Verizon want to offer premium and privileged access to the Internet for corporations who can afford to pay for it,' worried Minnesota senator Al Franken in an editorial at the Huffington Post. ISPs argue -- and the FCC just agreed -- that they should be allowed to charge based on the amount of bandwidth they use. It remains to be seen whether the type of content will be protected, however. The more people speculate, the more the nightmarish scenarios quickly pile up."
Kaplan's conclusion: "Net neutrality may be designed to allow for a tiered Internet. Or it may end up preventing one entirely. Who knows? The FCC held most discussions behind closed doors, until this morning's debate and final approval of the regulations.But either way, it's bound to end up affecting your wallet. And you should care -- if for no other reason than that."

When children call 9-1-1 there is a risk that the dispatcher may ignore the call as a child's prank. How did you explain to your child about calling 9-1-1?
Remembering the Victims of Crime
Every crime has a victim who suffers some harm at the hands of the offender. This is just a handful of some of those victims who had their lives stolen forever.
The Rights of Crime Victims
Every crime has a victim who suffers some harm at the hands of the offender -- be it physical, financial, psychological or emotional. Thanks to victim rights groups, those victims now have rights in the criminal justice system.
Victim Impact Statements An Important Tool
One of the most effective tools victims have in the fight against crime is the 'victim impact statement' used at the time of sentencing of defendants, and in many states, at parole hearings.
Victim Assistance and Compensation Programs
With Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) funding from OVC, state agencies within the United States and U.S. territories have established compensation programs to reimburse crime victims and assistance programs to offer victim services. Provided here is contact information about OVC within each state.

Aggressive driving and road rage is on the rise and according to the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety (AAA) it is one, if not the top concern for many drivers today.
The Growing Problem of Road Rage
Experts tell us there are several factors which may be contributing to the rise and more people are taking dangerous risks, many to the point of becoming involved in deadly confrontations, while behind the wheel.
Justice Difficult for Drinking Rape Victims
Juries are less likely to return guilty verdicts against men accused of rape if the victim was drunk at the time, even if the intoxication was involuntary, according to a new study by the British Economic and Social Research Council.

2 Days in Dallas
Meeting friends for a 2 day "reunion" in Dallas.
Know many of the usual suspects; we are foodies who also care about atmosphere/service. Will be staying at the Anatole. Interested in lunch and dinner ideas.
Any recs for new restaurants in Oak Cliff (lunch or dinner)? Or around Oaklawn or knox/henderson? Prefer no chains. Liked Hibiscus and Parigi on earlier visit, as well as Stephen Pyle's and Hattie's in Oak Cliff. The Melrose is good for Library and for b'fast. Know there are some new ones in Oak Cliff--also maybe Deep Ellum?.
Looking for creative/interesting but also an atmosphere where we can talk. Doesn't have to be "fancy", need OK /good wine list too.
Recommendations greatly appreciated!
In Oak Cliff: Arguably, the best restaurant in Dallas is, Lucia.
Make reservations now! Very difficult to get in.
Also, Bolsa and, Smoke. All above a must!
New on Henderson: Sissy's and, Velvet Taco.
In Deep Ellum On Commerce Street: IL Cane Rosso for the best pizza this side of Naples. Great place, too!
We also like Malai Kitchen and Baboush in the West Village.
I'll let you Google them.
Also log on to the Dallas Observer's "City of Ate" food blog to see other new places.
Oak Cliff Recs:
Lunch - Hatties,Bolsa, Smoke, El Ranchito, or Gonzalez (small local chain)
Dessert - Paletas Frutitas - Try one of the specialty ice creams (corn, egg nog (rompope), or avocado) or even a mangonada (a frozen granita of mango with a tamarind sauce at the bottom and topped with chile powder, you can add extra Valentina to the top).
Dinner - Lucia, Nova, Mesa or any of the above
