| How To Marry A Millionaire — Really
There are more millionaires than ever, and no shortage of people who want to share their success.
But one event in Manhattan last week turned the old idea of a gold digger on its head.
"We are hosting a speed date exclusively available to ultra-wealthy women and hot young men," said event organizer Jeremy Abelson.
One female in attendance, Gail Garrison, said she is a 44-year-old fashion designer.
Another said: "My name is Vivian Cha. I'm 47 years old. And I'm a physician."
Nancy Richards said: "I'm 50 years old. But my motto is '50 is the new 30.'"
"I'm open to dating men that are younger, whether it's five years, ten years, 12 years," Garrison said.
What did one of the younger men there have to say? Paul Janka, 27, said: "I want to be coddled, yes."
"There are a lot of people who are gonna say, 'That's disgusting.' Anytime you integrate money into dating, people are going to say, 'That's disgusting.' And it's usually by people who don't have any money," Abelson said.
Man trolled the web for girls: Cops
His online dating profile says Chris Forcand is a gainfully employed Christian and separated father of two looking for dates with women 18 to 50, but police are alleging he was more interested in much younger females.

The U.S. Embassy's consular section will be open Monday from 8:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. That is good news for tourists who have had their passports stolen. But the rest of the embassy is closed. Even the consular section is closed Christmas. From Wednesday through Friday the embassy will have normal daytime hours. That also is true Dec. 31 and Jan. 2, an embassy release said. Of course, Jan. 1 the facility is closed.
Emergency service is always available in the event of loss of life or other major crisis.
Global Warming Update: Snowfall Records Being Broken in New England
Concord, New Hampshire also has now exceeded 100 inches for the season with another light snow event last night. Official amounts will be available later today. They are closing in on the all-time record of 122 set in 1874. In this New Hampshire Public Radio story, they report the heavy snow is causing problems for many New Hampshire towns and cities. Will a global warming obsessed media be focusing a lot of attention on this record snowfall? Not likely. However, maybe more important for folks around the country to understand is that the axiom of professional investors is that by the time press members and the majority of the population recognize a trend, it's probably over. This is called contrarian analysis, and the premise is that the herd is always wrong, and when enough people begin believing that stocks are going to keep going up, it's time to sell.
The Archives
Good mescaline comes on slow. The first hour is all waiting, then about halfway through the second hour you start cursing the creep who burned you, because nothing is happening... and then ZANG! Fiendish intensity, strange glow and vibrations... a very heavy gig in a place like the Circus-Circus. You spend an age wondering if anything is going to happen... but it jumps you- initially, very very similar to good MDMA, airy, light in your head, kinda queasy and dizzy but you feel like you are radiating some kind of warmth outwards in the body. That sticks around for 30 minutes or so. At that point I went for a walk up some hills to look out over Glasgow city, that's when the emotional ride kicked in. Alternating waves of happiness, sadness, nostalgia, forward-thinking, deep seated memories coming to the fore followed by deja-vu.
Tassie teens defy drinker image
Research conducted at four Tasmanian high schools has revealed that up to 73 per cent of students rarely or never drink liquor. The study was a joint initiative of the Tasmanian Institute of Law Enforcement Studies, the University of Tasmania Department of Rural Health and Tasmania Police. Project director Dr Clarissa Hughes said while the social-norms approach had been used in the US, the Tasmanian trial was a first for Australia. She said SNAP (Social Norms Analysis Project) had been developed based on US research which found students over-estimated how often and how much their peers drank and made decisions about their own alcohol consumption on that. "Our strategy was to get accurate information about drinking behaviour in specific schools and then communicate the truth with the goal of reducing the pressure on students to conform to a false perception." Dr Hughes said early results were showing a statistically significant decline in alcohol consumption and attendance at parties after students had been involved with the project.
Diana's butler faces probe of testimony
The Sun newspaper said it obtained the secret recording of Burrell and was turning the tape over to the court Tuesday afternoon. The judge at the inquest, Lord Justice Scott Baker, said in court Monday that he had requested the tape. The newspaper reported on the tape in its Monday edition and posted selected portions of the black-and-white video on its Web site. The Sun's headline read, "Butler admits perjury," but the footage posted doesn't contain such an admission. Burrell is heard saying he didn't tell the inquest everything he knew and that he threw in some "red herrings." "Perjury is not a very nice thing to have to consider," Burrell says in the tape. "I told the truth as far as I could, but I didn't tell the whole truth." Burrell did not respond to repeated attempts by CNN to contact him for comment.
Shooting prompts state probe of Don Juan restaurant
Had cops been notified that a Westbury night club planned to hold a "teen night" Nassau police said they likely would have intensified patrols the night a teenager was fatally shot and three others critically wounded outside the club.
Now, the State Liquor Authority is scrutinizing Don Juan Mexican Restaurant's Club La Boom, where the four young men had been partying before they were shot Sunday, an agency spokesman said Thursday.
The scrutiny comes after police investigating the shooting found patrons as young as 12, a Nassau police spokesman said.

R. Kelly Case Still Moving At A Snail's Pace; Plus Wu-Tang Clan, Paula ...
Nearly six years after the alleged sex tape first surfaced, the court proceedings in the R. Kelly case continue to move at a snail's pace. The prosecutors originally sought to have testimony from one expert witness, Dr. Sharon Cooper, cover several different areas — the age of the girl on the tape based on forensic pediatrics, the identification of the man on the tape based on the vein pattern on his hands, and the behavior profile of the girl based on the psychology of child sex-abuse victims. Judge Vincent Gaughan had previously ruled that Dr. Cooper could testify about the victim's age, but not the behavior profile, so prosecutors had asked him to reconsider. At a hearing on Monday (January 14), Gaughan ruled once again that Dr. Cooper would not be able to testify about why the girl in the case would deny that she was a victim, or how common denial is in sex-abuse cases.
Cast says 'Squabbles' full of laughs; Director/lead Patrick Smith says ...
In "Squabbles" Patrick Smith plays Abe Dreyfus, an opinionated, suddenly-retired New York cabbie at odds with the family he's forced in with following a heart attack. When a house fire also drives Abe's daughter's mouthy mother-in-law Mildred Sloan (Carol Flood) under the same roof, the squabbles begin in earnest. "Squabbles" is Smith's sixth Owen Sound Little Theatre production as a director, the first in which he has also played a leading role and likely his last with the company, the Harriston resident said. It's also a play he knows "backwards and forwards" after three months playing Abe in dinner theatre in Guelph and another run in Port Elgin. "I guess why I'm in love with the play is because it is a comedy," Smith said before a recent rehearsal at The Roxy, where the play starts Thursday and runs over the next two weekends.
