Skip to comments.Dewey files for Chapter 11 - biggest US law firm collapses
Posted on 05/29/2012 4:38:59 AM PDT by sunmars
The crippled law firm Dewey & Leboeuf filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on Monday night and will seek approval to liquidate its business after failing to find a merger partner, marking the biggest collapse of a law firm in US history.
"During the first quarter of 2012, the firm was confronted with liquidity constraints that led to the precipitous resignation of over 160 of the firm's 300 partners by May 11," the New-York based firm said.
Dewey listed liabilities in the range of $100m to $500m, according to the filing. It had already terminated 433 of its 533 New York employees earlier this month, according to the state's labor department.
The firm's collapse is expected to be the subject of years of court proceedings, and a number of former partners have already retained lawyers to represent them.
Monday's filing follows months of turbulence, as wave after wave of partner defections shattered the high-profile firm from within. In April, the Manhattan District Attorney's office launched a criminal probe of former firm chairman Steven Davis. He has denied any wrongdoing.
The result of a 2007 merger between Dewey Ballantine and LeBoeuf, Lamb, Green & MacRae, Dewey & LeBoeuf had about 1,450 attorneys at its peak, according to The National Law Journal.
But the firm was eventually undone by a combination of the economic downturn, excessive compensation and governance problems, according to former partners and others in the industry. In particular, Dewey's management promised millions in packages to about 100 partners, according to the court filing, leaving it strapped for cash when revenues fell during the recession.

Yes, the laws of economics apply to you, too.
Someone better get in there and put their arms around the client escrow and trust accounts...or what is left of them.
I can see those clowns scurrying about now like roaches leaving a room when the lights go on.
Our educational system mints attorneys, other countries mint engineers. The term "run it by legal" has become the new go code in business now.
apparently the knock on effect is huge.
This is gonna be a mess for years to come.
Dewey, Cheatham, and Howe?
Silky Pony may soon be free to work cheap. Couldn't they have waited one more week at least before going bust?
-—The term run it by legal has become the new go code in business now.——
Just don't put it in an e-mail. ;-)
Do law firms even have email?
"...precipitous resignation of over 160 of the firm's 300 partners..."
Gives me the image of slime oozing out.
That's going to be the most pedantic bankruptcy ever.
can you imagine the crap that is gonna come out about this place. Holding it together, things stay but once it falls apart, the amount of dodgy dealings are going to appear and questions asked.
Wonder how many Millions they gave to Hope and Change in 2008. They got change thats for sure.
Sounds like the Government and its Union friends.
Simply the 1% version of the union pension & benefits overloading.
Watch the lawsuits and DA investigations coming thick and fast soon.
Apparently the Manhattan DA has already begun.
Its gonna be like the law firm version of Lehman.
With the finger-pointing well under way at Dewey & LeBoeuf, the once-proud law firm on the brink of dissolution, its partners agree the former chairman, Steven H. Davis, shoulders a large chunk of the blame for its stunning fall.
Yet amid the recriminations, two sharply divergent views of Mr. Davis have emerged.
Some Dewey partners suspect him of being a crook. Last month, several of them presented the Manhattan district attorneys office with evidence of possible financial improprieties by Mr. Davis. The office has opened a criminal inquiry.
Only took five posts...
Or Kennedy's old firm, "Winem, Dinem, Dinkum and Dunkem"
In classical terms, we are a feminine nation. We value form and feeling over substance.
That doesn't bode well for us.
Could also emerge as the law firm of Ben Dover and C. Howard Fields
Someone crippled them? Why, they oughtta sue the bastid!
John Edwards, call your office (when you get out of prison)!
One law firm down, 10000000 to go!
Instead of declaring Chapter 11 why didn't they hold out for a "to big to fail" g'mint bailout.
I thought it was the new socialist American way?
sheltered childhood? never watched the Three Stooges? lol. free
At least there is some good news in this downturn.
Pray for America
Well sure - he was a lawyer, wasn't he?
The Great One had a chance to step in and "save" the company. Oh, wait, there are no union members here. Never mind.
Dewey, Cheatham, and Howe?
Three Stooges reference nes pas?
A good start.
And so the blood-sucking (B-S)heads of a firm of B-S lawyers has to hire outside B-S lawyers to defend themselves from hordes of government B-S lawyers. Guess who's still billing?
Right! Other B-S lawyers! Leaches feeding upon leaches.
The whole law professions has degenerated into such a self-serving pool of slime, I rather relish hearing that these unproductive parasites are forced to scramble for cover.
Paying wordsmiths with no morals to extract money from those unable to protect themselves is just plain wrong. Is it a coincidence most professional politicians are also lawyers? I think not.
Bode well?
Hang, we're way past it now.

Apparently the partners got to the critical mass point where they couldn't force their junior associates to work more than 24 hours a day to support the partner's paycheck. Boo Hoo. Tango Sierra.
I've been a junior associate. It sucks.
400 lawyers out of work in New York City?
The biggest US law firm collapsed?
The sun is shining.....I've got a good cup of coffee.....good news about lawyers.....yep, it's a good day....
I see what you're saying; however, I'm not sure that having lawyers is [entirely] a bad thing. Consider John Adams, he was a lawyer with apparently a very acute sense of justice, which led him to become so involved with Independence. (Indeed, he was the guy who defended the British soldiers involved in the "Boston Massacre" on the grounds that they were defending themselves from an incited mob.)
In classical terms, we are a feminine nation. We value form and feeling over substance.
That is more true, I think, than most realize. (It could be even more true than you know.)
I've found myself investigating how to challenge state statutes that are [plainly] contrary to the State's Constitution and apparently the only way to go about addressing the matter via the Judicial branch is to get myself in violation of the statute in order to gain "standing"... in other words, there is no way at all to challenge it from a position of power, as you must implicitly accept the statute's authority in order to assert (on the legal forum) that it is an illegitimate authority.
In other words, the system is so "feminine" that it utterly rejects the "masculine" value/property/strength of logic.
Like you said, "form & feeling" over substance.
That doesn't bode well for us.
No, it does not. Especially if society keeps the valuation of masculine traits as worthless.
Just yesterday there was an article about Veterans which essentially tossed out the tag 'Hero' because "it encourages war."
In short, I'm reminded of TN's State Constitution and how at-odds it is with the general mode-of-thought of the general population:
§ 2. Doctrine of non-resistance
That government being instituted for the common benefit, the doctrine of non-resistance against arbitrary power and oppression is absurd, slavish, and destructive of the good and happiness of mankind.
Should be: Soon to emerge from re-organization as -->"Do-em, Screw-em Cheatham & Howe."
Their new corporate motto: We plow deep (into your pocket's / bank accounts etc.) while you sleep.
And their press spokesman is A. Greystone Waller.
Maybe Yo-Yo grew up in Niagara Falls?
—CNBC has mentioned it several times, but not an in depth segment.—
NPR did an in-depth story a couple of weeks ago. I just assumed Chapter 11 was just around the corner.
Since law firms are basically a litigious civilization's leeches, they are never "too big to fail".
In addition to the classic Three Stooges, Tom and Ray Magliozzi (click and clack the tappet bros.,) have Dewey, Cheatham, and Howe in the closing credits of their Car Talk radio program each week.
Betcha it wasn't for lack of tryin' !

Lighter and stronger. The 'faster' part is up to you.
Easton's new Havoc Carbon DH Handlebar is a lot like its alloy sibling, the Havoc Aluminum. Both are monster-wide, at 750mm, and both are built to be scary strong. The scarier thing is that the carbon edition is a whopping 80 grams lighter. While that may not seem like a lot of weight, each gram counts as you start to fatigue on your 10th run down Garbanzo. And if you follow DH racing, you know that every racer on every level is now trying to get his or her bike as light as possible -- all without sacrificing strength.
Don't ignore the latter point on your way to lightening up your DH machine. Your very survival depends on a tough handlebar that can withstand hundreds of thousands of feet of rugged descending. The fact that a brand as legendary as Easton is building carbon bars tough enough for DH tells you something about how far carbon has come, but all carbon isn't identical. Easton's in this game because their TaperWall system lets them build exceptionally smooth layups without any flaws or stress risers that you might find in other methods of construction. Translation: A stress riser is a wrinkle in the fabric of a layup, a single point that can soak up more load than was intended. By contrast, Easton's TaperWall is designed to work as an entire system, not only eliminating stress risers but allowing the whole bar to work as a single unit, passing all loads across its entire length.
So while the Havoc Carbon DH Handlebar is exceptionally light, Easton's internal testing shows that it's actually far stronger than many alloy bars that also happen to be considerably heavier.
Easton's Havoc Carbon DH Handlebar is 750mm wide. It comes in a 20mm rise with a 9 degree backsweep and 5 degree upsweep, and the clamp diameter is 31.8mm. It has a Matte Black uni-directional carbon finish.

Great bar
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I love the stiffness of the 35, but had to get this carbon bar to dampen the vibrations coming through the bike. I have a Lyric tuned to my liking, but needed to reduce a little more chatter so I put this baby on my bike and like magic, the little vibrations died out. If you want less hand fatigue with all the same power this is your answer.
Great carbon bar for trail bikes
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I got the Easton Havoc Carbon Handlebar a couple weeks ago and have been loving it - not only is it light and strong (thanks carbon), it also gave me the extra couple inches in width that I was missing. The extra width gives me more control at speed and increased leverage when climbing.
Get some
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Bars are one of those things where once you go carbon you wont go back. They are light, they feel great, and mine have already made it through a full season of abuse with zero issues. They aren't dirt cheap, but relative to other components they're a fairly affordable upgrade or part to add to your custom build. I love mine and would recommend them to anyone. For lighter duty riding and those who like a more narrow bar the Haven Carbon is another really great choice, but these can be cut down as well if you prefer. I cut mine to around 730mm.
How do you attach brakes to these
Hey Will,
These will work with any standard mountain bike brake mount, so it's pretty easy to get them set up. If you need any assistance at all making sure you pick out the right stuff and/or getting tips on how to actually set it up please contact our customer service team! We have a crack team of bike experts who would be happy to walk you through it and make sure you buy the right stuff the first time.
This bar is where it's at
handle bars are simple enough, but also a cheap way to shave some weight off your rig. this bar looks and feels great. there's no discernabel flex, and it's the perfect width. it inspires confidence unless the trees get too close.

Comments: This is a great hog bait. Its very soft and comes loaded with coffee scent. On my first outing with the game hog I caught a 2lb bass within the first 15minutes of fishing at a highly pressured pond. Went back to the store the next day and bought 3 more bags ! The zoom brush hogs are more durable but I think the game hog is softer and has more scent making it more appealing to fish. Two thumbs up!
From: Jordan: RI 8/30/14
Comments: Sweet bait.. it works like all other reviews say.. rigged on a 3/0 hook with a 1/4 tungsten weight. as for colors I can't say.. they all work
From: Peter: NH 7/1/14
Comments: I have this guy in the Green Pumpkin flavor, and it has some great action. I fish worms, craws and other creatures but for some reason the fish hit this guy harder and faster then any of my other soft plastics. The only down side is that even though I getting hit by smaller fish these get ripped up pretty easily. But a up side to that part is they can make an awesome trailer for jig fishing.
From: Sean: OR
Comments: The bass just flat eat these things up I have better luck with these versuses the Brush Hogs. Wish they were a bit more durable but O well.
From: Lance: Livingston, TX
Comments: Love it, nuff said. Cali Craw #1
From: Cullan: Conway, SC
Comments:Comments:Beats the brush hog by a mile. Every twitch of the rod makes the tentacles move. This is a very versatile bait.

Rams Decided To Trade #2 Pick
Posted 27 February 2012 - 10:26 PM
According to sources, the Rams already have had trade discussions with the Cleveland Browns (No. 4), Washington Redskins (No. 6) and Miami Dolphins (No. 8), each of whom is scheduled to pick in the top eight in April's draft.
The Rams, who already have quarterback and 2010 top pick Sam Bradford, also have discussed a potential trade with teams outside the top 10, according to a source, but it will be challenging for one to surrender enough compensation to vault to the second overall pick.
The Rams are seeking a deal similar to what the San Diego Chargers got for the rights to 2004 top overall pick Eli Manning, sources said Monday.
Manning was selected by the Chargers with the No. 1 overall pick in 2004 and traded to the New York Giants for two first-round picks, a third-round pick and a fifth-round choice.
With those picks, the Chargers ended up adding quarterback Philip Rivers, linebacker Shawne Merriman and kicker Nate Kaeding, all of whom have made multiple Pro Bowls.
The team that trades up to No. 2 on April 26 will likely select either quarterback Andrew Luck or Robert Griffin III.
St. Louis' second overall choice became the focal point after RG3's sterling effort at the combine in Indianapolis on Sunday cemented Griffin and Luck as the likely top two overall picks on April 26.
While neither Luck nor Griffin decided to throw at the Indianapolis event, Griffin was officially clocked at 4.41 in the 40-yard dash, while Luck came in at 4.67. Luck also put his versatility on display Sunday. His broad jump (10 feet, 4 inches) was two inches short of quarterback Cam Newton 's best in 2011, and Luck's vertical jump (36 inches) was better than Newton's (35). Griffin was better than Luck in the vertical jump (39 inches) but fell short in the broad jump (10 feet).
The Indianapolis Colts, who hold the No. 1 pick, have said they will draft a successor to quarterback Peyton Manning with the top pick.
Among the teams Griffin interviewed with in Indianapolis were Miami, Washington, Minnesota and Kansas City. He said all went well, including his talk with Indianapolis executives trying to decide what to do with Manning and that top pick.

I still think the Browns are the most likely to make a deal seeing as they have a second first round pick this year to throw into the deal.

The thing about the Chargers is that they actually had less leverage since Archie flat out told them that if they select Eli, he will sit out a year and reenter the draft. They drafted him anyway and flipped him to the Giants who picked #4 and who were Archie's preferred team.
Remember, you only have 15 minutes on the clock during draft day. By announcing that they intend to trade their pick 2 months early, the Rams are giving every team a chance to put together a package, then choose the best package, go back to the other biddgers for their highest and best, and then go back to the original team if someone bests them. THey're going to get a bonanza of picks/players because they're giving guys like Daniel Snyder and Stephen Ross ample time to salivate over game tape and make moves with this trade in mind.

Heart Month
Statements By Members
11:05 a.m.
Andrew Saxton North Vancouver, BC
Mr. Speaker, when we flip our calendars to February, our thoughts turn to matters of the heart. While romance is in the air, we also need to pay attention to our heart health.
February is Heart Month in Canada. It is a time to reduce our risk of heart disease, Canada's leading cause of death. About 40,000 people experience cardiac arrest or a heart attack each year in Canada. Some of the contributing factors that one should be aware of include a family history of heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and obesity.
For the past three years I have served as a director of the Heart and Stroke Foundation of B.C. and Yukon. During this time I have learned that in many cases heart disease can be prevented. Being physically active, following a healthy diet, and eliminating tobacco use can significantly reduce the risk of heart disease.
Mr. Speaker, put your heart into it; who knows, one day the life you save might just be your own.
International Childhood Cancer Day
Statements By Members
11:05 a.m.
France Bonsant Compton—Stanstead, QC
Mr. Speaker, February 15 will mark International Childhood Cancer Day and so I would like to mention a few facts about this illness.
The most common cancers in children and adolescents are leukemia, lymphoma and tumours of the central nervous system, and they are different from those that affect adults. Cancer is the leading cause of death in children between the ages of 0 and 14. This year in Quebec 230 children in this age group will contract cancer. Sadly, 40 will die as a result.
Although a great deal of progress has been made, the fight is not over yet. Therefore, I invite my colleagues to salute the volunteers, doctors and other health professionals in their communities devoted to working with children suffering from cancer.
Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics
Statements By Members
February 13th, 2009 / 11:05 a.m.
Bruce Stanton Simcoe North, ON
Mr. Speaker, I am rising today to congratulate the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics on its appointment of nine additional distinguished research chairs.
The new chairs include: Yakir Aharonov of Chapman University; Nima Arkani-Hamed of the Institute for Advanced Study; Neta Bahcall of Princeton University; Juan Ignacio Cirac of the Max Planck Institute; Gia Dvali of CERN and NYU; Subir Sachdev of Harvard University; Ashoke Sen of the Harish-Chandra Research Institute, Leonard Susskind of Stanford University; and Xiao-Gang Wen of MIT. This teams joins Stephen Hawking at the institute.
This government is proud of its commitment to the Perimeter Institute as it continues to strive to be a world-class facility and retain world-class talent.
Human Rights
Statements By Members
11:05 a.m.
Borys Wrzesnewskyj Etobicoke Centre, ON
Mr. Speaker, in recent days, letters from students of Mr. Mitchell Bubulj's grade 11 genocide and crimes against humanity class at Silverthorn Collegiate Institute have been arriving at my office. These students are part of a groundbreaking course studying genocide, established by the Toronto District School Board.
The students are profoundly moved by the horror and scale of man's inhumanity toward other human beings: the Holocaust, the Holodomor, Rwanda, and today Darfur.
Braden Page wrote, "every month 5,000 lives are lost in Darfur". Alicia Rogers noted, "the genocide in Darfur in relation to Ontario...would be like wiping out all of Toronto...so please help".
The Toronto District School Board is to be congratulated for establishing this course. Mr. Bubulj is to be congratulated for implementing it at Silverthorn.
We often repeat the phrase "never again". High school students from Toronto are asking their members of Parliament, when will we mean it?
British Columbia
Statements By Members
11:10 a.m.
Mark Warawa Langley, BC
Mr. Speaker, the government has delivered tangible benefits for British Columbia.
B.C. was the first province to sign an infrastructure agreement with the federal government. This will help deliver B.C.'s share of the $18 billion over two years to help build roads and bridges and fund the Evergreen transit line that will serve Burnaby and the tricities, growing communities that will benefit for decades from this investment.
B.C.'s Conservative MPs fought hard to deliver for our province and I am proud of what we have accomplished. We have met the downturn in the forest industry with billions of dollars toward hard-hit communities across Canada. Much of this will be directed toward communities in British Columbia. The people of the forest sector will benefit from our expanded EI program.
Our record has been made in B.C. front and centre. The residents of B.C. recognize that by re-electing Conservatives and decreasing Liberals and New Democrats, they are getting true representation in Ottawa.
The few remaining Liberal MPs have been demoted by their new leader.
Xstrata Layoffs
Statements By Members
11:10 a.m.
Glenn Thibeault Sudbury, ON
Mr. Speaker, last Monday my constituents were victims to this economic downturn when foreign-owned mining company Xstrata announced the layoff of 686 workers.
The government had an agreement with the company that there would be no layoffs for three years, and they broke it. The government claimed Xstrata would invest millions in Sudbury. We now know this money was already committed.
While the government tries to save face, the New Democrats and I are calling for real action for those who have lost their jobs. My party is behind the 686 laid-off workers. We have been standing in the House all week to hold the government accountable, to stand up for my constituents who have lost their jobs and their security.
Next Tuesday, New Democrat leader Jack Layton will be in my riding to listen to the concerns--
Xstrata Layoffs

Xstrata Layoffs

Glenn Thibeault Sudbury, ON
Mr. Speaker, next Tuesday, our leader will be in my riding to listen to the concerns of the nearly 700 workers and their families who are now facing this economic crisis without a paycheque.
It is now time for solutions and that is exactly what the community will be addressing Tuesday night in my town.
Bloc Québécois
Statements By Members
11:10 a.m.
Daniel Petit Charlesbourg—Haute-Saint-Charles, QC
Mr. Speaker, one wonders how the Bloc can claim to be the supreme defender of Quebec's interests when, in all the years it has spent in Ottawa, it has never been able to give Quebec a single cent. The Bloc has aligned itself both with the father of the clarity bill and with extremists. It is hard to know what it stands for.
It is becoming clear that what the Bloc wants, above all, is just plain confrontation. Yet Quebeckers do not want confrontation. The men and women of Quebec have always sought consensus. By advocating confrontation, the Bloc is going against Quebeckers' values.
The Bloc's latest achievement is to try to make Canadians believe Quebeckers are bitter and vindictive. The Bloc is tarnishing Quebec's reputation by making fear and hatred its favourite topics.
International Year of Astronomy
Statements By Members
11:10 a.m.
Paule Brunelle Trois-Rivières, QC
Mr. Speaker, on January 15, UNESCO launched the International Year of Astronomy. This year marks the 400th anniversary of Galileo's first observations using a telescope.
With the theme "The Universe, Yours to Discover", UNESCO hopes to make this year a real opportunity for all people to learn more about the latest astronomical discoveries and inventions, as well as about the universe and our place in it.
Quebec has long shown an interest in astronomy, and this is reflected in such facilities as the Montreal Planetarium, the ASTROLab in Mont-Mégantic, the astronomy observatory at the CÉGEP de Trois-Rivières and the Club d'astronomie le ciel étoilé in Saint-Pierre-de-la-Rivière-du-Sud.
I hope that Quebeckers will take advantage of this year of astronomy to discover the wonders of our universe.
Canada-U.S. Relations
Statements By Members
11:10 a.m.
Alan Tonks York South—Weston, ON
Mr. Speaker, it should not be necessary to remind this House and Canadians that the United States is our largest trading partner and our closest ally. The visit of President Obama underscores the importance he places on our bilateral relationship.
President Obama has acted swiftly to bring about a stimulus package to get Americans working and the economy flowing. The government is challenged to work with the United States administration as it sets its course. As the United States announces unprecedented spending on economic stimulus, the government must ensure that Canada's interests are protected and advanced.
From energy to the environment, border issues to the automotive and forestry sectors, Canada and the United States share the opportunity to show the world the difference between vision and division as we engage global recession, climate change and desperate world poverty.
We should begin by working constructively to prevent American protectionism and stimulate the trade that has and must continue to flow across our borders.
Statements By Members
11:15 a.m.
Ray Boughen Palliser, SK
Mr. Speaker, the influence of organized crime and gangs in our society continues to grow at an alarming rate. Criminal gangs disrupt our society and represent a real threat to the safety and well-being of all Canadians.
I am pleased to report that, yesterday, our law enforcement agencies struck a huge blow to organized crime and gang activities in Montreal. This massive effort was the result of more than three years of investigation as part of Operation Axe. I would like to commend all those officers involved and congratulate them for their great work.
Under this Prime Minister and this Conservative government, we have made significant investments to support law enforcement. We are now giving them the tools they need to take action and shut down these gangs.
We promised to get tough on crime and we are making good on that promise.
Airline Crash
Oral Questions
11:15 a.m.
Ralph Goodale Wascana, SK
Mr. Speaker, a tragic plane crash occurred last night near Buffalo.
Fifty people were killed.
We all express our sincere sympathies to their families and loved ones.
The Buffalo airport is frequently used by Canadians just across the border. Could the government inform the House whether any Canadians were involved in last night's tragic accident? What do we know at this point?
I would like him to respond in both official languages.
Airline Crash
Oral Questions
11:15 a.m.
Lawrence Cannon Minister of Foreign Affairs
Mr. Speaker, clearly, we as well are extremely saddened by the loss of life and want to extend our deepest sympathies to the families that are involved.
Representatives from the Consulate General in Buffalo, as a matter of fact, are at the crash site and remain in contact with local and airline authorities. Canadians are advised to consult local news reports for the latest information. To be specific, we do not have any proof as yet as to whether or not Canadians are involved.
Canada-U.S. Relations
Oral Questions
11:15 a.m.
Ralph Goodale Wascana, SK
Mr. Speaker, in less than a week President Obama will make his first foreign visit and we are very glad it will be to Canada. However, Canadians are anxious to know what is on the agenda. What will the Prime Minister raise with the new President? Canadians do have a right to know that.
We are suffering through the worst recession since the 1930s. Just this week we have had devastating reports about job losses, bankruptcies, housing drops, and now a trade deficit. Out of all of that carnage, what will the Prime Minister say to the President to help fight U.S. protectionism and save Canadian jobs?

For years, Oprah Winfrey wowed viewers every year with her "Favorite Things" show, as she handed out one fabulous prize after another to lucky audience members.
She went out with a bang in 2010, when, in a two-part episode, she gave away items that included a hot new thing called an iPad, Ugg sequined boots and a 2012 VW beetle.
Now, Oprah has announced she has revived the franchise and will air Oprah's Favorite Things: 2012 on Nov. 18 as a two-hour special from 8 to 10 p.m. ET on OWN.
As always, she will unveil her must-haves for the holiday season and that includes a "top-secret giveaway" for an unsuspecting group of military spouses from each branch of the Armed Forces. (So that's why she was spotted on Thursday in downtown D.C.)
With help from her BFF and O Magazine's editor-at-large, Gayle King, and creative director Adam Glassman, Oprah enlisted designers Michael Kors and Tory Burch and celebrity chef Curtis Stone to help find the hottest, newest, tastiest items of the year for the magazine's O List (on stands Nov. 6).
During the two-hour event, viewers for the first time in the history of "Favorite Things," will also have the opportunity to "Watch and Win" select items featured within segments of the show. By texting the correct key word to a short code at designated points throughout the premiere airing, viewers will be entered into a drawing to win. Additional details on how to enter will be available starting Nov. 1.

Ready for Spring
"These are perfect for all the cute little dresses that will come with spring. Love the style. The wedge is not too high. No straps to worry with. Just adorable."

Very cute, but not right for my needs.
"I wanted a comfortable, slightly dressy silver wedge sandal for an upcoming cruise. These looked very cute on, were true-to-size lengthwise, though slightly narrow, but weren't dressy in the slightest in person. And the ball of my foot hurt a bit after only wearing them for a few minutes around the house. Had to return."

"These are very comfortable & super cute. Previous reviews were correct about the back strap sliding down. I'm going to try those antislide insole stickers."

Some little kids have that special X factor that leave you saying "yep, that kid is gonna go somewhere someday." Take this little fella dancing his heart out to MJ at Safeco Field. Even though he is six years old - or thirty - we have no kids so can't tell how old they are unless we cut them in half and count their rings - he is already a champ.
Same goes for the newest member of the Nation Network - JetsNation. Even though it is only hours old we expect great things from the kid. Terrible, evil, wonderful things. It certainly is an exciting time to be born in Winnipeg.
It's exciting that Canada has a brand new ice hockey squadron! It's exciting that Winnipeg got their team back 16 years after they lost their team! It's exciting that the team is called the Jets even though NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman would rather have named them the "Winnipeg NHL-Failed-In-The-Sunbelt" rather than the Winnipeg Jets.
Sometimes things work out don't they?
For now, we are happy to see Winnipeg back in the league. As an Oilers fan, 1995-1998 represented years of ulcer causing stress as the Oilers seemed to be the next team going South after the Jets departed for Phoenix. Long before the EIG took control and saved the day, a teenaged Wanye had many sleepless nights that the team would be leaving.
We were fortunate to dodge the ball at the last minute whereas Winnipegers took it square in the beans and have been smarting from the shot ever since. Anyone who cheers for a Canadian team or a small market team or can identify with hard core fans watching their team pack up and leave town should be able to find some small part of their heart that will soar with joy once the puck drops in the 'Peg this fall.
Yes, with the Jets tucked safely in the Eastern Conference we are cheering for them. For now. But once they come back in the West all love ends and the all consuming hatred of every other team in the NHL begins. The Oil have finished back to back lasts. Hatred is all we have.
Swing by JetsNation and wish Winnipegers and Jets fans all the best. Or the worst.
Or whatever.

Continuing with my review of facial fractures. Today is the area between the eyes--the nasoethmoid orbital region. Nasal fractures represent the third most commonly broken bone in the body, and the nose is the most commonly broken facial bone. There is a nice review of simple, acute nasal fractures here.
A facial fracture is considered a nasoethmoid orbital [or naso-orbital-ethmoid (NOE)] fracture if the fracture involves the bone to which the medial canthal tendon is attached. It is important to distinguish NOE fractures from isolated nasal fractures, orbital rim fractures, and fractures which involve only the ethmoid labyrinth. The medial canthal tendon provides globe (eye) support as part of a suspensory sling, which is in continuity with the lateral canthal tendon, and upper and lower tarsal plates. The tendon is also intimately associated with the lacrimal drainage apparatus.
The naso-orbito-ethmoid complex is composed of a confluence of several bones: (1) frontal bone, (2) nasal bone, (3) maxillary bone, (4) lacrimal bone, (5) ethmoid bone, and (6) sphenoid bone. The key anatomical region is the central bone fragment of the medial orbital rim, into which the medial canthal tendon inserts.
Nasoethmoid fractures typically result from a forceful blow to the central aspect of the midface. Motor vehicle accidents are the most common source of injury, followed by assault. Possibly due to the advent of safety air bags in most newly produced vehicles, the incidence of these injuries is decreasing. Less forceful injuries are needed to cause NOE fractures than zygomatic, maxillary, or frontal fractures.
The best way to confirm the diagnosis is the combination of physical examination and CT scan. Even with soft tissue swelling, physical examination/observation may be informative.
- Focal areas of swelling or hematoma may overlie an isolated fracture. Periorbital swelling may indicate LeFort II or III fractures.
- Palpation may reveal mobile bony segments, step-offs, or crepitus, all of which suggest fracture.
- If the entire nasal pyramid is posteriorly displaced or "telescoped in", the diagnosis is obvious.
- Measurements of the intercanthal distance should be compared to the interpalpebral distance of the eyes. If the former is significantly larger than the latter, traumatic telecanthus from NOE fracture is presumed. In patients in whom edema makes localization of the medial palpebral angle imprecise, an alternative measurement is interpupillary distance, which should be approximately double the intercanthal distance. If intercanthal distance exceeds one-half the interpupillary distance, traumatic telecanthus must be considered. Normal values are 60 to 70 mm (interpupillary) and 30 to 35 mm (intercanthal).
- The eyelid traction test is another test for the integrity of the MCT. To do this test, the examiner grasps the lower lid in question and pulls laterally while palpating the nasal root. A lack or reduction of tension with lateral pull suggests NOE fracture with MCT displacement.
- A thorough eye examination with visual acuity, pupillary responses, and extraocular motion is crucial. Close inspection of the lower lid may reveal a rounded medial palpebral fissure and lid laxity.
- Although epiphora (overflow of tears) may be associated with NOE fractures, its presence is an unreliable indicator of injury. Lacrimal function may be assessed more accurately by placing irrigation and probing in conjunction with the Jones dye test of lacrimal function.
- Any fluid from the nose should raise the possibility of a CSF leak. If enough fluid can be collected, it should be sent for analysis of beta2-transferrin, an indicator for CSF. A cruder test for CSF may be performed by collecting a few drops of fluid on filter paper and examining the pattern of migration of fluid. Blood and water tend to form a central pool, while CSF tends to form a second outer ring.
Patients with suspected facial trauma should initially be evaluated with a complete craniofacial CT scan. A full facial analysis from the top of the head through the mandible with 1.5 mm axial cuts will allow coronal reformatting without additional scanning. Plain radiographs have limited utility in assessing isolated nasoethmoid fractures. These films may demonstrate opacification or clouding of the maxillary and ethmoid sinuses, indicating the presence of blood. They are unlikely to characterize the relatively detailed osseous anatomy of the NOE complex. Therefore, CT scan images have replaced plain films as the main imaging tool to assist in the diagnosis and treatment planning for NOE fractures.
Markowitz and colleagues classify NOE injuries into three fracture patterns accordingly
Type I--single, noncomminuted, central fragment without medial canthal tendon disruption
Type II--comminution of the central fragment without medial canthal tendon disruption
Type III--severe central fragment comminution with fracture extension through the medial canthal insertion or have avulsed the tendon insertion
A combination of four different incisions may be used to provide complete exposure to these fractures--the coronal, a limited midline, a lower eyelid, and the upper buccal sulcus.
Type I Fractures
- These can be managed with plate-and-screw fixation. The large single-segment fragment must be reduced and then stabilized at the superior orbital rim and piriform. Sargent avoids the eyelid incision in these.
Type II Fractures
- These fractures require wider exposure to adequately reduce and stabilize. The most common incisions used for both Type II and III fractures are the coronal, lower eyelid, and upper buccal sulcus.
- The key bone segment to identify is the medial orbital rim bone, into which the medial canthal tendon (MCT) inserts. Care must be taken not to inadvertently strip off the MCT insertion.
- The key step in the stabilization of the canthal-bearing bone segments is placement of the transnasal wires to obtain a symmetric, secure reduction of these bone fragments. Sargent states that screw-and-plate fixation is not an effective technique in this particular step of stabilization of either Type II or III. There are some nice pictures of his technique in the PRS supplement, Dec 2007 listed below in the references.
Type III Fractures
- Sargent states that it is rare for the tendon to be completely avulsed unless there is a penetrating injury over the tendon.
- If the bony fragment to which the MCT inserts is not large enough to place two drill holes approximately 4 mm apart with several millimeter of surround good bone, it should be replaced with a bone graft so that there is adequate support.
- If the MCT is partially avulsed and the medial bone fragment is of adequate size, the tendon should be reinforced.
- A slight over-reduction is often needed and can be easily accomplished by continued twisting of the wires.
Other associated fractures (zygomatic, orbital defects, etc) and will need to be addressed as appropriate.
Commonly, there is telescoping of the nose (bridge of the nose is pushed-in and compressed). This characteristic appearance on profile indicates loss of support and the need for a cantilever nasal bone graft. Simple reduction of the NOE and septal fracture will not be adequate treatment.
- Persistent telecanthus postoperatively implies inadequacy of the original technique or detachment of the transnasal wire. Reexploration is indicated in such instances.
- Injury to the lacrimal system causes obstruction and epiphora. It is best avoided by intraoperative stenting of the lacrimal puncta and duct. Care should be made to avoid securing wires too low on the medial nasal wall and lacrimal crests so they do not impinge on the lacrimal sac.
- If the transnasal wires pass too low on the septum in repair of a type III fracture, the wires may pull the MCT inferiorly and result in scleral show and lid laxity. Repair requires repositioning of the wires to a higher point on the nasal septum.
- Lower lid ectropion may follow a subciliary (eyelid incision) approach. If severe ectropion occurs, breaking up the scar with Z-plasty or skin grafting from the opposite lid skin may be necessary.
- Nerve injury may have occurred prior to surgery from the initial traumatic insult. Therefore, the status of the main sensory and motor nerves of the face and forehead must be documented prior to surgery. Care should be taken to identify and preserve the supraorbital and infraorbital neurovascular pedicles while the soft tissue flaps are raised. More commonly, supraorbital nerve injury results from nerve stretching when retracting the soft tissue and orbital tissues to gain access to the superior and medial orbital rims.
- The nose may be foreshortened, with lack of projection and contracture of the soft tissue.

Paul Waldman NAILS IT:
We hear plenty about the young-earth creationists trying to keep students from hearing about evolution. But what about the moral culpability of the textbook publishers?
Once again, there's a dust-up going on over whether students in Texas should be taught about evolution in science class, or whether they should instead be told the lie that there is a scientific "controversy" about whether evolution has taken place, or perhaps be told nothing at all about it, or be told the biblical version of creation. But beyond the obvious, there's something bugging me about this.

Retro Style and Comfort
"Got these kicks just under a week ago. Stylish and comfortable with a definite retro vibe to them. The removable, cushioned, insole will not only keep the shoes smelling fresh, but also make extended walking quite comfortable. i would recommend going up at least half a size. I usually wear 11.5, but I got a 12 in these for a perfect fit ( I tried them on at the DSW store about a year ago to check out the fit before deciding to order them online). In addition to the comfort and expert craftsmanship, there are really some attractive shoes. These kicks will certainly up one's cool factor."

US Forest Service Mobilizes to Save Cavity Birds
Small owls, such as western screech and northern saw whet owls, weigh between 3 and 7 ounces, or about the same weight as a small cell phone or a deck of cards.
They prefer dark, narrow spaces for nesting and roosting, which is why they are called cavity birds. Their habitat preferences make them prone to using man-made features, such as open pipes, that mimic their natural nesting and roosting cavities. But on some public lands, that natural act of finding habitat in ventilation pipes has led to their death. Read more »

Four arrests made after store raid
HAWKINS COUNTY, Tenn. - Guns, drugs and other illegal items were discovered during the search of a Hawkins County cycle shop. Two of the four people arrested were also wanted in other states.
The Hawkins County Sheriff's Office says the search was part of an ongoing investigation into stolen vehicles, illegal guns and drugs being stored and sold in the Amen Chassis Custom Motorcycle Shop on Marble Hall Road.
Officers say they saw a car, which had been reported stolen from Mississippi, arrive and leave from the shop several times.
The officers searched the business Monday morning and they tell News 5 marijuana, prescription pills, drug paraphernalia and loaded guns were found. The car, however, was not found.
As a result of the search, Gary Mirkos, Suzanne Hoffman and Mark Ramirez were arrested on the scene and Randy Wilson was found at another location. Mirkos, Hoffman and Ramirez face charges including drug possession. Wilson and Mirkos are charged with theft of property over $500. Wilson was the only one granted bond.
Officers say Mirkos was a wanted fugitive out of Mississippi and Hoffman was wanted out of Texas.

Discussion in 'BUILD CHALLENGES' started by Rat Rod, Jan 11, 2010.
The place to discuss all things related to Mini Build Off Challenges.
Perhaps this thread should be in place whenever there's no official build off going.
Mr. Rat Rod, Could you make a new thread for us to enter our folding bike entries for the folder build? I would If I knew how.
You need to start your own thread for whatever challenge you want to start.
How do you start a poll?
when you hit "new topic" there is a button for poll creation under the text box...
Well I'll be. How long has that been there? lol. never mind-don't answer.
I tried redoing the folder build using the poll option. It seems to be the same thing as a thread. How do we get it to work like the other build off poll things? What Im trying to say is, how do we make it where there is a folder buildoff header. The rules are explained and then each person wanting to enter a bike makes their own thread, or i guess I should say, how do we make it work just like the anything goes build off worked? Sorry, Im not the smartest computer guy here.
do it like this once the bikes are done make a new thread making the poll then under it post the finished bikes. maybe cordinate it so the pics are sent to one or the other and posted at the same time. confused yet?
It's tough enough for me just to get a bike together. I have no idea where or what to post anymore, but I have a few days to figure it all out. That's when I get a photo of my folder.
Anyone got an incomplete past build-off entry bike theyd like to finish up now? Just dusted mine off earlier today, PM me if you want to make it unofficial :mrgreen:
Anybody down for a Klunker mini-build off? I just finished building one but might have enough parts to build another. I should not have watched that "Klunkers" movie :x
Floridasfavson: Glad you liked the movie, but it's Klunkerz with a "Z". (I always have to say that. Good luck with the build.
Ride on!
the klunkerz movie is great i love the beginning showing the early days very well thought out
Will the winners of each of the mini build offs be in a Finals judging? I think that would be cool!
I dig it! Grand prize trophy?
ej599 u make a trophy and they will come :lol:
I wonder if i should start another thread with completed folding bike build off bikes, or does one of the moderators set up the voting thing at the end?
Sounds good. I'll do that first thing tomorrow morning, getting ready to go to work now.
Im geting parts together for bobber type bike ,it will have a stingray rear tire on front and back. Low and fat, big tube frame, all junk parts! Any takers?

Hudson Jeans is paying tribute to the "Le Smoking" tuxedo suit by way of their newest style, the LouLou. If tuxedo pants were abudcted into a galactic land of the future where mostly people just partied (a la 90s rave scene, if you remember that…), they would look something like the LouLou. Sporting a racing strip of orange, yellow, or neon pink fabric that glows in UV lights, they're a chic, tailored option for denim lovers who are craving something even more adventurous than to ride the neon skinny jean wave.
They'll hit the online store and Scoop NYC in February, so you have a few weeks to work up the nerve.

Great Boots
"This is the second pair of these boots that I've bought for my husband. They fit him perfectly right out of the box. No breaking in required. He's a little hard on his shoes so these only lasted him about a year, but he wears them almost everyday, so I feel we got our money's worth. The upper part is still perfect on his first pair, it's the sole that split after about a year. So if you're not hard on your shoes, these are a great buy that will last for quite some time."

Is e-retailing approaching a tipping point?
The numbers for 2011 retail sales have been pouring in and analyzed by marketers, economists, stock analysts, consultants and journalists. But most of the analyses I read miss or gloss over the most important conclusion: sales of all retail stores (excluding gasoline stations and auto dealers) grew at a meager 1% in real terms last year.
That wasn't because of recession or unemployment or government's failure to resuscitate the economy, although few would argue that Washington gridlock put the government on the sidelines last year. Yet, if the economy were the reason for the poor performance of retail store sales in 2011, why did the Gross Domestic Product grow 1.7% in real terms (and 3.9% before inflation's impact is removed). Why did car dealer sales grow 11% as General Motors, Chrysler and Ford raked in record or near-record profits. And why did real store sales growth actually slow down last year (from 1.5% the year before) even as personal incomes grew faster and unemployment rates fell?
The fact is that real retail store sales didn't stagnate because of the economy. Instead, physical stores lost sales to online stores. In current dollars, retail e-commerce sales grew last year by 16.1%, and by nearly 14% in real terms. All of these numbers, recently released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Commerce Department, lead to an inescapable conclusion: Offline stores are no longer driving the retail economy; web sites are.
The growing share of retail sales commanded by e-retailers is nothing new. Growth of retail web sites at the expense of physical stores has been occurring since e-retailing began in the mid-1990s. But the Great Recession put this trend in stark relief. More retail outlets have been boarded up than built in the last few years as the recession devastated traditional retailing. Conversely, the recession merely nicked online retailing—holding it in 2009 to single-digit growth for the first time ever. Since then, annual e-retailing growth has returned to double digits, while store retailing barely managed to stop its slide.
The result is that online retailing last year accounted for 8.6% of all retail sales in those areas where it competes (excluding auto dealers, gas stations and groceries), compared to 7.6% in 2010. Other analyses of 2011 retail sales put online's share at about half that, but they include gas stations, grocery stores and auto dealers, and unfairly understate the real inroads made by online retailing.
In his book "Tipping Point," Malcolm Gladwell describes the process by which hundreds of small factors conspire to create a "social epidemic" through which certain trends reach a boiling point and then go on to establish a new order. I believe e-retailing is nearing just such a juncture, thanks to many underlying factors conspiring in its favor and against physical stores, which together portend a major transformation of the U.S. retail economy.
Such factors are too numerous to document here, but they have led to the formation of a new type of advanced shopper, who is leading the revolution in e-commerce, is well-connected to society at large and sufficiently persuasive to attract a band of followers who are tipping the balance of retailing toward the online world. They are 21st Century Consumers, and understanding how to reach them and meet their needs is the theme of this year's Internet Retailer Conference & Exhibition, coming to Chicago's McCormick Place on June 5-8. You should make a point to join the 8,000-plus e-commerce professionals who will attend the world's largest e-commerce show and learn why e-retailing is reaching a tipping point.
