"Because there is no prenup, Camille was certain power balance she'd get up to $50 million, because she's a partner in his TV company and entitled to half the money he made from shows, including 'Frasier,' while they were married.
"She has accepted their marriage is over and that he wants to marry Kayte in January. Camille wants it all over, too. But what she can't accept is how he's parading around Kayte, who looks like the cat who swallowed the canary. Their public make-out sessions are really insensitive because of their kids."
The "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star, 47, filed for divorce in July after 14 years of marriage. Just weeks later, Page Six revealed that Kelsey was already in a relationship with Kayte, who was pregnant with his child. She has since lost the baby. Grammer -- who has insisted he wasn't in a relationship with Walsh until the split from Donatacci -- got engaged to Kayte in November.
A source close to Grammer denied reports he's in a rush to marry Walsh because she needs a visa to stay in the US. Camille recently said, "I respect him as a person, I don't respect how he handled the affair and the divorce and how things went down."

Sabres Sale to be Announced After World Juniors
of the Buffalo Sabres to Pennsylvania billionaire Terry Pegula is expected to be announced at some point after the World Juniors Championship wraps up next week.
We're told the timing of the announcement is being dictated by Sabres owner Tom Golisano.
Golisano doesn't want an announcement regarding the sale of the team detracting attention from the tournament, which is a point of pride for the Sabres' organization.
Our source says that Golisano has reached an agreement in principle for the sale of the team to Pegula.
Now, the only thing left in terms of Pegula owning the team is approval by the NHL's Board of Governors, but given Pegula's wealth, and his commitment to keeping the team in Buffalo, that's expected to be a mere formality.
Given that, it's possible that Pegula could take over the team before the end of this season.
As part of the sale, it's expected that team President Larry Quinn and Chief Operating Officer Dan DiPofi, who both own small pieces of the team, would be bought out as well.
Pegula is expected to bring in his own management team.
Quinn denied to 2 On Your Side that any sale of the team is imminent.
Golisano saved the team in Buffalo when he bought it out of bankruptcy for $92 million, which included about $30 million in debt, in April of 2003. However much, if not all of that debt was forgiven.
With a sale price estimated at about $175 million, Golisano could make about $100 million in the deal.

Christians represented 80% of the Bethlehem's population
In 1948, Christians represented 80% of the Bethlehem's population, that number is now just 35%.
Inside Beijing's Movado watches Immaculate Conception Cathedral, more than 1,000 Chinese parishioners gathered to say Mass on Friday.
The ceremony was heralded by hymns and Christmas carols, and was led by a young priest who asked the Sunglasses 2011 congregation to "pray for the holy father, Pope Benedict XVI, and the Chinese bishops."
It's a stark change from the 1960s and '70s, when religion was suppressed in China. Now, the sights and sounds of Christmas are all around, making it one of the biggest commercial holiday seasons in Chinese cities.
While many Chinese are taking advantage of the lucrative side of the season, others are searching for the meaning of Christmas.
"My parents are Catholic," said 19-year-old Joseph Min. He said many youths are lost in the nation's "wave of social changes," but many are "seeking a kind of religion or philosophy in life."
China has become home to more than 6 million Catholics, according to a report approved at the eighth National Congress of Chinese Catholics in early December, the China Daily said.
Beijing and the Vatican severed diplomatic ties in 1951, but efforts are reportedly under way to reconcile their differences
At Vatican City on Friday night, Catholic worshippers packed pews inside St. Peter's Basilica to hear Pope Benedict XVI deliver Midnight Mass.
Celebrants, both young and old, watched in reverence as the choir serenaded the pontiff during his ceremonial march into the church. He was led into St. Peter's for Christmas Eve services by 30 cardinals, a tradition that was started by Pope John Paul II.
Bells rang out during the Holy Eucharistic, with chimes that could be heard inside the church as well as throughout Vatican City.
In 2009, Midnight Mass was interrupted when 25-year-old Susanna Maiolo jumped a barrier and knocked the pontiff down. She had tried to get to the pontiff on Christmas Eve in 2008, but was detained, Vatican spokesman the Rev. Federico Lombardi said.
Christmas Eve Mass was held at 10 p.m last year, so the pope, who was 82 years old at the time, would be well-rested for Christmas toys Day services.

New Jersey each will lose a seat in Congress
Pennsylvania and New Jersey each will lose a seat in Congress as a result of slow population growth over the last decade.
The losses, announced Tuesday by the U.S. Census Bureau, reflect the decades-long shift of political clout from the Northeast and Midwest to faster-growing areas of the West and South.
In other words, Florida's and Texas' gain are Pennsylvania's and New Jersey's loss.
With 435 seats in the House of Representatives to be apportioned on the basis of the 2010 census, Pennsylvania's share will drop from 19 seats to 18 and New Jersey's from 13 to 12.
Texas will gain the most seats, four. It will rank second only to California, which retains 53 seats.
The Lone Star State will have twice the House delegation it had in 1920. Pennsylvania, which has lost more seats than any other big state, will have half what it had 90 years ago.
"Although it is disappointing, this result was expected," said State Senate Majority Leader Dominic Pileggi (R., Delaware). "It is one of the consequences of the fact that Pennsylvania's population growth has not kept pace with other states."
Gov. Rendell, appearing Tuesday night on CNN, said Pennsylvania's plight could have been worse. He noted that the state had lost "multiple seats" in several previous censuses.
Still the sixth-largest of the 50 states, Pennsylvania had its population grow 3.4 percent from 2000 to 2010, compared with 9.7 percent for the nation as a whole. As of April, according to the census, it had 12,702,379 residents.
New Jersey's population grew at a slightly faster rate - 4.5 percent, to 8,791,894. It slid from ninth-largest to 11th.
The population changes tallied by the census every 10 years dictate a reallotment of congressional seats. They also set the stage for state legislative districts to be remapped to account for shifts within states. That makes the count critical to both major parties' interests in Harrisburg and Trenton.
More detailed community-by-community population data are to be released by the census starting in February. But party leaders are already thinking about which members of Congress may get squeezed out by the realignment.
If the past is any guide, the remapping is likely to be highly politicized. In Pennsylvania, Republicans will be in the driver's seat.
That is because the Nov. 2 election gave Republicans control of the governorship and state House; they already ruled in the Senate. This puts them in position to redraw districts to suit their own needs.
Courts have held that districts must have equal populations. But they can be gerrymandered to favor one party.
Pennsylvania political sources say GOP leaders are likely to push two Western Pennsylvania Democrats - incumbents Jason Altmire and Mark Critz - into the same House district. The pair would then have to fight it out in a 2012 Democratic primary.
Population estimates have shown growth in some areas of the state - the Poconos and parts of the South and Southeast - while other areas, especially in Western Pennsylvania, have declined.
There is talk that the GOP may also move to protect Bucks County's Republican congressman-elect, Mike Fitzpatrick, by rejiggering district lines. Some Philadelphia voters now within the borders of his Bucks-centered district may be moved to U.S. Rep. Allyson Schwartz's district.
Schwartz, a Democrat in a district that is mostly in Montgomery County, is already in a strong position politically, so the shift would not affect the power balance.
Like most states, Pennsylvania allows party chiefs to control the remapping triggered every 10 years by the census.
"Our process is totally political," said former U.S. Rep. Joseph M. Hoeffel III, now a Montgomery County commissioner. "Other states have figured out ways to make it much less political. They have a commission. They have figured out a way to do it on a more bipartisan basis."
Hoeffel knows how these things play out. A decade ago, he was in Congress when the census dictated that Pennsylvania would lose two seats.
Republicans, also in control of Harrisburg then, combined Hoeffel's district with that of U.S. Rep. Robert Borski, a Philadelphia Democrat. It looked as if Hoeffel and Borski were headed for a primary battle in 2002 till Borski decided to retire.
New Jersey, by contrast, has a bipartisan commission handle redistricting. Twelve members, evenly divided between the parties, select a 13th who becomes chairman - and possibly the tie-breaking vote in mapping disputes.
New Jersey GOP Chairman Jay Webber, a Morris County assemblyman, said: "Taking it out of the legislative process does make it as apolitical as you can make it - which isn't very much."

North Korea shelled the island last month, hours after a similar drill
South Koreans are anxiously waiting to see power balance if North Korea will make good on its threat to take military action in response to a live-fire artillery drill on Yeonpyeong island.
North Korea shelled the island last month, hours after a similar drill. South Korea's marines conducted the exercise just hours after an emergency meeting of the United Nations Security Council failed to calm tensions on the Korean peninsula.
South Korea defied diplomatic pressure and went ahead Monday with firing artillery into the Yellow Sea, escalating its confrontation with the communist North.
Defense officials stress the shelling was to the southwest online shop, away from North Korea. But Pyongyang has threatened to retaliate, contending the waters are its territory. It warned that the exercise risks starting a war.
South Korean Foreign Ministry spokesman Kim Young-sun says the exercise is routine and legitimate.
Kim says the artillery drill is for self-defense and part of the country's sovereign right.
A few hours before the exercise, the United shop Nations Security Council failed to reach a consensus on lowering tensions on the Korean peninsula.
Diplomats say China, among other nations, would not back a statement condemning North Korea for recent aggressive behavior, including the shelling of Yeonpyeong island last month.

I Was Just Having Fun
Miley Cyrus is telling her friends ... the bong video published by TMZ is no big deal.
Miley, who has taken a lot of heat since TMZ posted the story that she was smoking salvia, has been saying, she's just young and having fun ... this, according to friends in direct contact with her.
Miley acknowledged she's seen the TMZ story and also knew it was going to eventually surface. As TMZ first reported, Miley's camp was trying to bury the incident by scooping up copies of the video.
One friend put it this way: "Miley doesn't care. She's filming her movie and getting on with her life."

Why would Heidi Jones do such a thing?
That's a question people are asking about a New York City meteorologist, Heidi Jones power balance, who allegedly told police a man tried to rape her only to admit she had made the whole thing up.
PICTURES: Heidi Jones Arrested
Police say Jones told them on Nov. 24 that a man tried to rape her a month earlier as she ran in Central Park. She said the same man harassed her outside her apartment Nov. 21 at 7:50 a.m.
Police went into action, speaking to possible witnesses and canvassing the area for a man matching the description she gave of her alleged attacker. When they went back to her to discuss the case, Jones admitted the fabrication, police said.
Jones, 37, had said her assailant was a Hispanic man in his 30s or 40s, who grabbed her from behind, dragged her into a wooded area and attempted to rape her, the New York Post online shop reported. She told police that the would-be rapist was scared off by two passers-by who came to her aid.
Jones said she concocted the story in a plea for sympathy to counter some unknown setback that she was experiencing in her personal life, according to the Post.
What do psychologists say?
"Some people get a thrill by deceiving smart people," said Dr. Cynthia Cohen, a research psychologist in Los Angeles who said she had no first-hand knowledge of the case. "It may be that this woman found it thrilling to try to deceive police, who are often pretty good about spotting inconsistencies. It's an adrenaline rush."
On the other hand, said Cohen, it's possible Jones was telling the truth about the attack but decided she didn't want to pursue the matter.
Jones was given a desk appearance ticket for false reporting and scheduled to appear on court Jan. 15. If convicted of the misdemeanor, she could face a year in prison and fines.
Jones' attorney, Paul Callan, said his client would plead not guilty.
"Ms. Jones has had a distinguished career as a broadcast journalist and urges all concerned to refrain from jumping to conclusions about the unproven charges against her being discussed in the press," Callan said.
Jones, who also fills in on "Good Morning America," has a blog centered on running, where she talks about her love of the sport and her time spent running in Central Park. Her motto, according to the site, is "if you knew you wouldn't fail, what would you try air max shoes"

Usually we've had more balance than this
"Usually we've had more balance than this," said Eaves, alluding to the fact the previous worst offensive imbalance in his nine-year tenure was in 2004-05 when 45 of the 127 goals came via the power play (35.4 percent).
The lack of even-strength success can be linked to one major detail. UW is averaging 27.9 shots on goal per game, which is the ninth-lowest in the WCHA. The only other time in the Eaves Era that ratio finished below 30 was in 2002-03 (25.9), his forgettable first year.
That's a telling stat. The 16th-ranked Badgers (8-7-3 overall, 4-6-2 WCHA) have won all five games this season when collecting at least 30 shots.
"We're creating a lot down low and we're cycling the puck well," Murray said, "but we're just not bringing it to the net."
In that respect, the team has several issues. In addition to not generating enough shots, UW has been inconsistent when it comes to getting traffic in front of the net. In turn, that limits the number of deflections and rebound chances.
Senior center and captain Sean Dolan said the deficiencies are a by-product of tactics, not lack of effort. He said some of it can be tied to a lineup that has only six regulars from last season.
"I know it's December now," Dolan said, "but we're still getting used to how guys play and finding where to go."
Another element, according to Dolan, is the psychological aspect of venturing into the dirty area in the low slot.
"Something that we need to keep working on as forwards is generating 5-on-5 chances," he said. "I think it's just more of a mentality of bringing the puck to the net and not playing on the (perimeter) and kind of forcing ourselves to get bodies to the front of the net and getting those ugly goals."
Murray always seems willing to stick his nose into the fray near the crease despite his smallish 5-foot-9, 185-pound frame. He was asked if a young roster — as many as six freshman forwards have been in the same lineup — was a factor.
"Maybe the first couple games; they're not used to the speed of college hockey," Murray said. "We can't use that excuse the whole year.
"They're not young guys anymore. I remember my first year, the first couple games were a little bit of a surprise. But then you get into a rhythm."
In WCHA games, the Badgers have the No. 1 power play and the No. 2 penalty-killing unit, but are 10 points behind front-running Minnesota-Duluth with the holiday break on the horizon. Closing that gap depends a lot on creating a more balanced offense.
Eaves was asked if his club can make a push given its current approach to scoring goals.
"I don't think it'll get us to where we want to be ultimately," he said. "We're going to have to forge up that part of our fort and find more offense."

"They're not young guys anymore. I remember my first year, the first couple games were a little bit of a surprise. But then you get into a rhythm."
In WCHA games, the Badgers have the No. 1 power play and the No. 2 penalty-killing unit, but are 10 points behind front-running Minnesota-Duluth with the holiday break on the horizon. Closing that gap depends a lot on creating a more balanced offense.
Eaves was asked if his club can make a push given its current approach to scoring goals.
"I don't think it'll get us to where we want to be ultimately," he said. "We're going to have to forge up that part of our fort and find more offense."
It's good news for people who are looking for work in Corby
Corby Council chief executive Chris Mallender said: "In terms of what we are looking for, this development ticks all the boxes.
"It is a more mac viable proposal than the Prologis Stanion rail freight centre, which was shelved because of the recession, as it makes use of the existing rail siding.
"It will mean a large number of jobs, possibly up to 1,000, not just in warehousing and distribution, but there would be a significant number of office and management positions."
The Bristol office of international property giant Savills is acting as agent for the scheme.
It has already lodged a scoping application with Corby Council, seeking advice on what information will be needed to support a detailed planning application.
Savills confirmed that it is planning an environmental impact assessment as part of the planning application.
Mr Mallender said: "Our planners will be providing Savills with the information needed, which will include an environmental impact
assessment and traffic study.
"We will be pushing the developers hard to come up with a state-of-the-art, carbon-free development, possibly with wind turbines.
"This development, involving complementary partners, is right on the money.
"It is essentially a plan to redevelop an existing industrial area and is consistent with what we want to do in that part of the borough.
"There is also room for expansion on Stanion Plantation.Online shop - 2011 new shoes, watches, sunglasses, handbags online
"This is another good news story for Corby and we are looking forward
to receiving a detailed planning application on the power balance development."
Roxhill Development said it preferred not to comment on its planned development.
News of the planned rail freight development comes just days after it was announced that about 100 vacancies are available in two Corby warehouses.
Cosmetics company Avon and iForce, which provides internet shopping for supermarket giant Sainsbury's, are recruiting staff through employment agency Echo Personnel in Elizabeth Street.
Sandy Morrison, of Rutherglen Road, Corby, said: "If it goes ahead it will be good news for Corby. Anything that provides jobs for people in the town is a step forward."
Nicola Watson, of Angus House, in Argyll Street, Corby, said: "It's good news for people who are looking for work in Corby and for the people who need jobs to provide for their families."power balance

Customized gifts, from food to shoes, are popular this year
Did You Wake Up With Gifts in Your Shoes?
Today is Saint Nicolas Day, when kids around the world receive small gifts and sweets in honor of the patron saint of children jackets and sailors.
Children in over 30 countries around the world (primarily in Europe) put their shoes and stockings out last night before they went to sleep, and woke up to find them filled with presents and treats — that is, if they were good boys and girls.
Today, Dec 6., is Saint Nicolas Day, also know as St. Nick or Santa Claus' alleged birthday. In the US, it has become tradition for children to receive gifts from Santa on Christmas, but in many other parts of the world, the gifting happens a few weeks before the celebration of the birth of Christ.
Nicholas was known for his generosity to those in need and his love for children. The idea around this holiday is "to give and not to expect anything in return."
Learn more about Saint Nicolas Day below.
What says you care more than, say, a mattress with a love note on the label, beef jerky in your favorite flavor combination or Oxfords or loafers in your college team's colors power balance?
Given the growth in custom products, now being touted as the perfect gifts for the holidays, it appears nothing can quite compare. Shirts, shoes, beds and baubles that are truly "you" are more popular than ever, thanks to all the social-media emphasis on our tastes and traits.
"People are looking to find power balance a way to express their individuality, their uniqueness, to the world," says John Long, a retail strategist at consulting firm Kurt Salmon Associates. "Everybody is looking at a greater level of personalization."

significantly limiting their food intake
An additional 12 million obese Americans power balance could soon qualify for surgery to implant Allergan Inc.’s small, flexible stomach band to help them lose weight by significantly limiting their food intake.
Under existing federal guidelines, the Lap-Band has been limited to patients who are morbidly obese, and is implanted in some 100,000 people each year. The surgery typically results in weight loss of 50 pounds or more.
A panel of Food and Drug Administration (FDA) advisers recommended on Friday that use of the device be expanded to include patients who are less obese, voting 8-2 that the benefits of broader use outweigh the risks. The FDA will make a final determination on whether to expand use of the stomach bands in the coming months.
If approved, the Lap-Band could be available to patients not quite obese enough for the surgery under the current guidelines, but who still want the procedure to prevent future health problems and to feel better online shop. However, experts caution that the Lap-Band cannot stop deeply embedded behavior that drives people to overeat, and say the procedure’s high cost will remain a barrier for many potential patients.
More than one in three American power balance adults are obese, with roughly 15 million of them meeting the criteria for gastric banding surgery under current standards. This includes people with a body mass index (BMI) of 40 or higher, or a BMI of 35 or higher if the person suffers from a weight-related medical problem such as diabetes or high blood pressure.
If the new standards are adopted, the Lap-Band requirements would be lowered to include those with a BMI of 35 or higher, or 30 or higher for those with obesity-related health problems.
Enacting the new guidelines would increase the number of eligible patients to 27 million, the Associated Press (AP) reported from http://www.onlinenewshop.com/.
