Some members of Congress are getting right back to work after winning re-election bids Tuesday. Our Solomon Syed caught up with two of them.
KINDERHOOK, N.Y. -- Hours after re-election, cheers rang out in Chicago. But the noise on Wall Street reminded Americans we're heading for a fiscal cliff.
"Fiscal cliff is really where all eyes are focused on," said financial analyst Steven Bouchey.
That term isn't a cliché, but refers to a specific date: January first, when some big changes kick in.
"The end of Bush's tax cuts and additional spending cuts," said Bouchey.
Which could risk another recession, unless the president and Congress make a deal on the budget.
Just off re-election, Congressman Chris Gibson says there's no time to waste on issues that could make or break the economy.
"Let's get a grand agreement, that addresses not just temporary, but actually addresses this for up to 10 years forward," said Rep. Chris Gibson.
Gibson believes businesses need that stability to feel safe about hiring and expanding. Democrat Paul Tonko agrees the gridlock needs to end.
"The public made a statement very clearly that they want solutions from their government," said Rep. Paul Tonko.
With talk of bipartisanship filling the post-election air, financial analysts say it'll have to be a quick compromise.
"We are in debt $16 trillion. We have 23 million people unemployed, we need both sides of the aisle to negotiate a deal that's good for the American people, and right now it doesn't look good for the American people," said Bouchey.
Gibson says both sides need to accept they may not get everything they want out of a deal. Tonko says the election should make that clear. Both sides saying all the right things, we'll see how long it lasts.

New York: Mitsubishi Outlander GT heading for production
by Jonathon Ramsey (RSS feed) on Apr 9th, 2009 at 11:12AM
Mitsubishi made it official, the Outlander GT Protoype revealed at the New York Auto Show will go into production with these changes: a higher ride height to match the typical Outlander, more power for the V6, but you'll lose the vented discs and Brembos. The polished aluminum roof on this GT is a beautiful addition, but only for the show, and that's a shame. You will be rewarded with the upgraded interior, which also stays for production. Price for the more powerful V6 model with S-AWC is expected to be about $30,000, nicely equipped. And yes, you can expect the new Lancer nose to make... Read More

I bought this product and wore it maybe 3 weeks, and the clip broke. I called to have it replaced and was told that they could not replace the clip or the hairpeice. Tried to fix on my own, to no avail. My advice, dont buy this, it is not worth the time or effort. Get the Awestruck peice with the Stretch a Comb attachment, it is adjustable and more durable, about the same price and look. I will say that the color was a great match to my own natural color. I have bought other wig peices from Paula Young that were great, just not this one.

Club parties shut down in South Loop, Pilsen for overcrowding, code violations
BY DAN ROZEK AND LEEANN SHELTON Staff Reporters February 10, 2013 3:44AM
Updated: March 12, 2013 6:25AM
Overcrowding and code violations prompted Chicago authorities early Sunday to shut down two clubs, including one in the South Loop only a block from the now-shuttered E2 nightclub where 21 people died a decade ago.
Chicago Fire Department inspectors closed down the 22Thirty9 nightclub on South Michigan after finding 144 people inside the venue, which has a maximum capacity of 80.
Barely an hour later, fire inspectors and Chicago police were called to a private club in the 1800 block of South Racine after neighbors complained patrons were throwing bottles and a satellite dish off the roof.
Three cars were damaged by the thrown objects, authorities said.
Fire inspectors closed both sites and issued citations after uncovering potentially dangerous building code violations, said Chicago Deputy Fire Commissioner Richard C. Ford II.
"The bottom line is, safety comes first," Ford said during a Sunday news conference.
The South Michigan Avenue nightclub was closed because of the overcrowding but also was cited for not having properly located exit signs and because stools or chairs blocked a rear stairwell.
The club is only a block from the E2 nightspot where a disturbance on Feb. 17, 2003, caused patrons to rush for a single exit. In the panic that followed, 21 people were crushed to death.
Fire inspectors on Sunday had to force their way inside the Racine Avenue building after receiving a call about a loud, overcrowded party.
It wasn't clear how many people were inside the three-story building because many fled when fire inspectors and police arrived, Ford said.
But inspectors wrote citations for several serious building code violations, including having a structurally unsound stairway. Open candles also illuminated a stairwell and electrical cables were stretched across a wet basement floor.
The code violations found in both buildings could have led to deadly problems, Ford said.
"They're just some of the things that leads us to a catastrophe taking place," Ford said.
No one answered at phone numbers associated with either address on Sunday.

The largest study to date of postpartum depression has found that one in seven women experience symptoms of depression after childbirth.
Published in JAMA Psychiatry by theAmerican MedicalAssociation, the basic finding is consistent with past prevalence estimates however, the study's follow-up evaluations of women at risk revealed especially serious symptoms.
Approximately 20 percent of the mothers with depressive symptoms were experiencing suicidal thoughts. Among those who were followed for a full year, 22 percent experienced severe depression.
In the study, 10,000 mothers who gave birth at a Pittsburgh hospital were contacted by telephone and screened six to eight months later for symptoms of depression. Fourteen percent were identified as being at risk. Approximately 60 percent of the at-risk group received follow-up home visits. Another 11 percent completed diagnostic interviews by telephone
Forty percent of the women' symptoms began postpartum. Thirty-three percent were assessed as having begun during pregnancy and 27 percent beforehand. Follow-up evaluations most often resulted in a diagnosis of depression with a co-occurring anxiety disorder.
"A striking 22.6 percent had bipolar disorder," the study warned.
The study calls for all pregnant women and new mothers to be screened for depression, beyond what current medical practice requires. It also emphasizes the need for "strategies to differentiate women with bipolar from unipolar disorders."
In 2010, the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) held that there was "insufficient evidence to support a firm recommendation" for universal screening for depression. However, its Committee on Obstetric Practice recognized the potential benefits of screening and stressed that women already experiencing depression or having a history of depression particularly warranted "close monitoring and evaluation."
In the study, women who tested positively for symptoms of depression were "more likely to be younger, African American, publicly insured, single and less well educated."

How Many Teens Actually Smoke, Drink, or Do Drugs?
It's natural to be curious about your peers—especially when it comes to things that we know can be dangerous, like alcohol and drug use. You've probably heard rumors of kids drinking beer at a party or may have a friend who smokes cigarettes.
You may wonder how many teens actually smoke, drink, or do drugs. It's a question we hear frequently from teens. During NIDA's 2011 Drug Facts Chat Day, students from the around the country asked NIDA scientists questions such as:
- "How many teens smoke every year?"
- "Has the number of people who abuse drugs increased or decreased in the past 5 years? And why?"
- "What percent of teens has tried drugs?"
- "How many kids are doing drugs?"
In December 2011, NIDA released the 2011 Monitoring the Future Study, and it seems that more teens are making better decisions when it comes to smoking and alcohol use, but not so much when it comes to using marijuana and abusing prescription drugs.
Here's a glimpse at the most recent trends in teen drug and alcohol use.
Cigarette and Alcohol Use at Historic Low
Teen smoking has declined in all three grades included in the study—grades 8, 10, and 12. Still, almost 19 percent of 12th graders reported current (past-month) cigarette use.
This decline shows that more teens realize the harm smoking does to your body and are making the decision not to start. Also, teens' attitudes about smoking have changed. They increasingly prefer to date nonsmokers and believe smoking to be a dirty habit.
Likewise, among nearly all grades, trends over the past 5 years showed significant decreases in alcohol use—including first-time use, occasional use, daily use, and binge drinking. As with smoking, this decline may be the result of more teens understanding the risk of drinking alcohol and disapproving of this behavior.
Marijuana Use Continues To Rise
Unlike cigarettes and alcohol, marijuana use is increasing. Among 12th graders, 36.4 percent reported using marijuana at least once in the past year, up from 31.5 percent 5 years ago. This accompanies a decrease in the number of 12th graders who perceive that smoking marijuana is harmful. For example, only 22.7 percent of high school seniors saw great risk in smoking marijuana occasionally, compared to 25.9 percent 5 years ago.
Of course, we know the risks: marijuana can affect memory, judgment, and perception, and it can harm a teen's developing brain.
Prescription Drug Abuse Remains Steady
Prescription drug abuse hasn't changed much since 2010. Abuse of the opioid painkiller Vicodin and the nonmedical use of Adderall and Ritalin, stimulants meant to treat ADHD, remained about the same as last year. Also, the abuse of the opioid painkiller OxyContin remained steady for the past 5 years across all 3 grades surveyed.
To drive this trend downward, NIDA recently launched PEERx, a prescription drug abuse awareness campaign that gives teens science-based information about the harmful effects of prescription drug abuse on the brain and body.
When teens understand the health risks of abusing drugs, they do it less. So, tell us, how would you convince your peers that marijuana use and prescription drug abuse are harmful?
These estimates come from the Monitoring the Future Study's national surveys of approximately 47,000 students in about 400 secondary schools each year. The survey was conducted in classrooms earlier this year. View all of the 2011 data.
Okay smoking is bad, but marijuana is a WHOLE other issue. Of course it's not good but its about as bad as caffeine. I'm a senior myself and I can tell you I know more truth about weed then a lot of people because I've researched it multiple times and I'm around people who smoke weed all the time. They are not bad kids, nor do they have any significant health problems. Anything you breathe other than air damages the brain so you can say its like pollution. Compared to cigs, weed does NOT cause cancer. I actually shadowed a top oncologist and got my facts. There are absolutely no deaths from weed. So please, before you guys bad talk marijuana, do the research. People go on about how bad it is, and it really isn't. I'm not encouraging it, but I do think it's unnecessary to misguide people about this "drug" by saying how "bad" it is.
First—and sorry for the broken record—people react differently to marijuana. Some people do experience side effects or addiction. Second, true that cigarettes have definitely been shown to cause cancer, BUT the jury is out on marijuana. In fact, you may have heard of the study that just came out (Sept 2012) showing a potential link between marijuana and testicular cancer. Here's a news story that highlights the findings: "Dude, it's your junk! Pot linked to testicular cancer" http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/48969102/ns/health-mens_health/t/dude-its-yo....
Many more studies need to be done before we can say that there definitely is a link, much less understanding other health complications, but the evidence here does make us stop and take note.
it's just pot. jeeze people get over it. i've never done pot, but i dont have a prob with it. it help pl.
pls do sunthng tht d teen age shud leave drinkng cigarette i cnt cause i am small bt if u cn do sumthng or jus help everybody vho all pple u may knw plsssss cause d teen age circle is destroyng nwadays
Marijuana does kill, because people do stupid stuff while high.
@ bbond and amymullis, first of all, i researched facts about marijuana long term usage, and the toxins in it are actually more concentrated than that of cigarettes, the only reason it's difficult to determine the effects of Marijuana is because people who smoke it usually smoke cigarettes as well. So studying the effects of pot is almost impossible due to this other variable out there. But there are many cases where an (only) pot smoking person can get cancer too because of the high concentration of carcinogens, theres no filter to reduce this unlike in cigarettes. And generally speaking people who smoke it, hold it in there lungs, deeper and longer to get the effects of the high but ultimately, its bad.
So anyone who [expletive deleted, per guidelines] says pot is not bad for you... you would think having common sense to not put any smoke would be better, regardless if it's pot, or cigarettes.
of'Course all drugs are bad but nobody sees that they think of it as a way to escape life ; RELAXATION : Nobody wants to admit that they are addicts because they think of it as a phase that comes and goes. I myself am a what you call a POTHEAD but i consider it as a way to escape all the drama all that stuff but it gets old. i dont want to be doing that all my life its just ....... LIFE.
I think drink, smoke and do drugs will harm teens so much. Let's stay away from them. That protect your life [commercial link removed, per guidelines]
drugs are bad.
drugs are horrible!!!you can easily die from many substances such as heroine or marajuana e.t.c.......
yeah............ drugs are....go-er.. baad yeah their bad
there brain will get damage and they will feel drunk when they drink to much of alochol
I have been using drugs since I was sixteen and im nineteen now I use methamphetamine , haroin, prescription pain killers, l.s.d, ecstasy, and I love it I feel great I don't feel like doing any thing which is awsome because I like to be lazy and drugs are not a sin and should not be a crime because most drug users have some tipe of job and all the addicts I know are good people so what's wrong with drugs absolutely nothing. Stop the drug war and decriminalize drugs.
If that is the case, you have been lucky - so far. Did you know that you can be lazy without taking drugs?"
yeah alochol and marajuana are so bad.
stay away from drugs they are bad for you and they can mess up your brain
hello blogger! i am doing a heath project for school and would love your help if you could just respond to this question. "do you think kids in public schools are more exposed to drugs and alcohol then kids in privet schools? thanks for the great blog
hello blogger! i am doing a heath project for school and would love your help if you could just respond to this question. "do you think kids in public schools are more exposed to drugs and alcohol then kids in privet schools? thanks for the great blog
Great question! Unfortunately, the unexciting answer is, "it depends." There are many factors that affect the level of exposure to drugs and alcohol a student may get at school—a certain public school may have much less exposure than a particular private school. For this very reason, our main surveys don't break down their findings by public and private schools. (Check out the Monitoring the Future Survey - http://www.drugabuse.gov/related-topics/trends-statistics/monitoring-future for more information). There are many other useful resources and fun activities both on our Teen site: http://teens.drugabuse.gov/ and our main NIDA site: http://www.drugabuse.gov. Good luck on your project.
who has ever died from marijuana overdose. Oh wait no one. However you can make bad decisions while high that can lead to death.
Thanks. This helped me a lot. I think you should make an article about what the health risks are, though. If you have, I probably missed it.
Seems like a larger amout then it says. Most likely many teens lie because. Right now in 9th grade. I have 1 class in which almost everyones on drugs. Or like my friend who smoked and drinked last weekens when finding out his ex, who broke up with him 2 weeks ago, had been cheating during the relationship, and actually got a new bf. Or this other girl who tried pills 3 weeks ago and is hooked. Or in my pre-a.p. math class has many kids trying drugs.
Drugs are bad
Dude, half of the people who do drugs on here, just by typing, look so stupid. No grammar, no spelling, nothing. D for drugs is D for drama. It's just so stupid. You could do so much more with your life then get high.
i say kids do drugs because they see somebody else do it so they think there old enough to do it but your not thousands of teens die every year because of drugs parents arent caring enough to hang out with there kids then they start to hang with the wrong group then they see a hole new life style.
u know that stuff make u have brain loss and all type of things like bad teeth black gums man u dont whanna do that trust me dont naver do drugs kids it not goood
drugs are bad
Funny. I am almost 50 and the friends I had that smoke over the years are all jobless or in dead end lives none have really done anything good with their life and my friends who don t smoke are having a ball traveling and do fun things so easy for me to see smoking takes your money and your real fun away.
Don't wait till your old to figure out being a pothead is a waste of a good time
Oh and by the way; teenagers don't do drugs because they think there "old enough". They do it cause its fun and exiting and sometimes because there life sucks.
stay away from drugs!!!!!!!!!
Kids can die from driving while using marijuana, but 0 deaths in the history of the world have been recorded from marijuana use. Your intelligence is what makes kids use weed, if us parents would be more honest about the effects of marijuana then making up lies, the rate may actually drop. Kids here more facts about weed then us even, so why tell them our "facts" that are just made up instead of using real evidence. If they knew we were educated about it, they'd be more open to converse about stopping or not trying it.
Hahaaha no one has died from smoking marijuana its impossible to die from it there has been loads of investigations on it and they all said it cannot kill you
out of the 1100 kids who went to my high school i would say 5% smoked on a regular basis. during parties it probably rose to 35%. unless you never go out to parties im going to sa you have drank, lets be honest. we had drug dealers in and at our school all the time not every one smoked pot. the "stoners" were the ones who would smoke pot every day. and anyone else it would be, once again, at parties. i dont care if you smoke pot but dont tell me its not a gate way drug. out of everyone i know who smokes pot "trust me theres alot" i dont know one of them who havent done more then just pot. i also dont know one person who never smoked pot and did a drug that was harder. kids will do what kids want to do. some grow out of it others dont. smokeing is way farrther down from years ago. people dont like it as much anymore its as simple as that. but kids are always gunna drink casue its easy to get to just like smokeing pot. [expletive deleted]
Some of these comments are difficult to take in. So many people are delusional, they think that weed is bad and that it holds load if chemicals, and also you can die becuase you do silly thing, maybe in does hold a few chemicals but sure what doesn't?? I am an ex pot smoker and I can reassure you that weed is the least harmful drug on this planet, man it comes from the ground. The Hemp plant can also heal cancer, it provides humans with all the essentials which we need to live ECT-fuel,cloths,food, the list goes it........... You are talking about chemicals, what about the food we eat?? It holds many deadly chemicals. Our fruit is caked in chemicals to hold its colour. We breath is chemicals everyday, because our air is polluted by factories. Meat entails one of the worst chemicals known to the human body. Our world in which we live in is full of chemicals. Everyone is so against weed, all you do is eat sleep and relax with a smile on your face. Come on people, stop running this little plant down. Ok, it is silly to sit on your a** all day and get hi as you will never achieve anything in life. But please, stop believing that weed is bad. Get your facts right before you leave stupid comments.
@me Plenty of plants that come from the ground are dangerous, or even deadly. "Natural" does not equal "safe." Take the tobacco plant or the opium poppy, for example.
@sarah Actually, research has shown that, in chronic users, marijuana's negative effects on learning and memory remain after the acute effects of the drug wear off; when marijuana use begins in adolescence, the effects may last for many years. Research from different areas is closing in on the fact that regular marijuana use by young people can have long-lasting negative effects on the structure and function of their brains.
To your second point – the THC in marijuana is an ingredient in FDA-approved medication—taken in pill form. THC was shown in carefully controlled clinical trials to help nausea in patients undergoing chemotherapy for cancer and to stimulate appetite in patients with wasting syndrome (severe weight loss) that often accompanies AIDS. However, there is not enough scientific evidence to date for smoked marijuana to gain FDA approval. Inhaling smoke ‡ good.
@Anonymous Claims that smoked marijuana may have cancer-curing qualities have not been supported in medical research so far. THC, the active ingredient in the marijuana leaf, does have pain-relieving properties and is used in treating cancer pain, stimulating appetite, and helping with nausea—BUT treating symptoms is not the same as curing the disease.
@Vince NIDA is a scientific institute that does not involve itself in questions of drug policy or legality, so we have no say in questions of marijuana legalization. And as a government agency, there is no profit motive influencing our messaging. Our scientific mission is to study the harmful effects of drugs and addiction, and the fact is simply that ample research over many years has supported the negative cognitive and health impact of marijuana in young users, contrary to what the drug's many advocates would like you to believe.

Ridley Helium SL Limited 58 Edition
To celebrate the launch of the 2013 Ridley Helium SL frameset, we created a very special edition: the Helium SL Limited 58 edition. Why 58 you wonder?
The complete bike weighs only 5.8kg with pedals (5.74 in size small), and will be sold as a limited edition of 58 bikes. Every bike will be numbered, starting with 01/58, so each one is unique. The frame set has a special superlight paint finish to further showcase its exclusive character.
Our goal was not to create the lightest bike in the market, but to build a superlight bike that meets the high demands of the WorldTour peloton regarding stiffness and durability. That is why we did not use any exotic or dangerously light components, but chose parts with a proven WorldTour background. The bike is assembled with the new Sram Red groupset, 4ZA Cirrus Pro components and a Zipp 202 Tubular wheelset with Continental tubulars. The total weight of 5.8kg is far below the UCI limit so non professionals can have an even better bike than the pro's!
The retail price for the Helium SL Limited 58 edition is set at 7999€ (without pedals). The bike will be delivered on February 10 through our dealer network. During the next 58 days, you can make a reservation on our mini-website: http://www.ridley-limited.com/
For press interested in testing our Helium SL frame with Sram Red we can provide bikes with a slightly different configuration (please send your request to firstname.lastname@example.com ). The 58 edition is only for the lucky owners.

Intel's next-generation 'Eaglelake' chipset family, due for release next year, will feature a built-in data protection engine with the ability to encrypt all the files on your hard drive, the chip giant announced this week.It calls the engine 'Danbury'. Together with an chipset-integrated Trusted Platform Module, Danbury will be part of Eaglelake chipsets for vPro-branded PCs.Danbury provides a hardware encryption engine for drive-level data security. The encryption keys are created and maintained within the chipset itself, so there's no need to place them in memory where they could be accessed by malware.Danbury ties into the TPM, which is one reason why Intel plans to move that module into the chipset packaging. Plenty of desktop and laptop PCs already contain a TPM, implemented as a separate chip. Integrating it will help reduce system costs.
Each year since 1997, the US-based Electronic Privacy Information Center and the UK-based Privacy International have undertaken what has now become the most comprehensive survey of global privacy ever published. The Privacy & Human Rights Report surveys developments in 70 countries, assessing the state of surveillance and privacy protection.The new 2007 global rankings extend the survey to 47 countries (from the original 37) and, for the first time, provide an opportunity to assess trends.The intention behind this project is two-fold. First, we hope to recognize countries in which privacy protection and respect for privacy is nurtured. This is done in the hope that others can learn from their example. Second we intend to identify countries in which governments and privacy regulators have failed to create a healthy privacy environment. The aim is not to humiliate the worst ranking nations, but to demonstrate that it is possible to maintain a healthy respect for privacy within a secure and fully functional democracy.

To call The Body Shop a mere skin and body care store is to miss half of what makes it special. Late founder Dame Anita Roddick was a pioneer for ethical business practices; upon opening her first store in Brighton, England, in 1976, she developed company values such as "Defend Human Rights" and "Protect The Planet." She somehow balanced principles and profit, partnering in global campaigns with UNICEF, Greenpeace, Amnesty International, and the United Nations, all while ultimately expanding her brand into 2,500 locations in over 60 international markets. After her death in 2007, then-British Prime Minister Gordon Brown said, ?She campaigned for green issues for many years before it became fashionable to do so and inspired millions to the cause by bringing sustainable products to a mass market. . . . She was an inspiration.?
Indeed, the Body Shop exhibits an eco-friendliness and social consciousness that's hard to come by in a company of its size. Its products have been fair-trade since 1987, and its Against Animal Testing movement led to an EU-wide ban of animal testing of cosmetics. The products are made from ingredients harvested from around the world: shea butter from Ghana goes into body scrubs and butters, and Indian artisans craft wooden massagers and tote bags that are screenprinted by hand. But all that isn't to say the company's production practices overshadow its final products. Skincare treatments such as the brand?s iconic body butters, facial products, and gift collections often appear in Allure, Marie Claire, Lucky, Seventeen and other national publications.
Ed DeSouza needed hip surgery, but first, his doctor told him, he needed to lose 100 pounds. A restaurant manager who regularly sampled his kitchen's ribs and steaks, DeSouza at first scoffed at the idea, according to the LA Daily News. But once he started to read ingredient labels and incorporate healthy foods into his diet, he managed to lose the weight in only six months.
Surprised by his success, DeSouza felt inspired to retire and become a certified nutritionist. While exercising and volunteering at the YMCA, DeSouza met Jesse Russo, a nutritionist who also wanted to help people learn to make better food choices. Together they decided to open healthFULL foods Cafe to help make healthy fare and nutrition education more accessible to members of the community.
Each day, DeSouza makes breads with house-milled flour and steel-cut oatmeal from scratch without processed sugars or preservatives. Blenders whir softly in the background, mixing smoothies with fresh fruit, non-fat greek yogurt, and lactose-free milk. Whole-wheat pitas wrap ingredients such as oven-roasted turkey breast with housemade cranberry chutney. DeSouza fills the oven with vegan and gluten-free cookies and muffins packed with an organic blend of fibers high in omega threes and sixes. DeSouza and Russo also advance their healthy-eating agenda with healthy-cooking classes and events.
A sleek white Ferrari purrs in the parking lot, and suddenly the opaque window rolls down to reveal Kim Kardashian behind the wheel, beaming with joy at her new custom-tinted windows. Fresh Window Tint?s owners smile, knowing they have satisfied yet another customer. Since the first location opened in 1990, the automotive empire has expanded to include three locations, each of which cares for clients personally with custom window tinting and other services.
Using only premium products with at least a 20-year history, which includes Llumar protective window tint, insured technicians wrap windowpanes to reduce heat, solar glare, and up to 99.9% of UV rays. They also protect cars? bodies with vinyl vehicle wrap or enhance headlights with 3M products. Like wallpaper made from dictionary pages, tinted windows are also stylish and practical for residences and businesses, allowing owners to save up to 40% on energy costs. Customers who live in the Santa Clarita/Valencia area may take advantage of Fresh Window Tint's pickup and drop-off service. Customers visiting from farther-flung locations can relax on the lounge?s plush leather sofas, enjoy snacks and beverages, and watch TV while their cars are being armored against heat and the blinding glare reflected off glass-bottom airplanes.
Jason Park's connection to culinary ingenuity began before he was even born. His grandmother, a native Korean, began experimenting with blending Japanese and Korean cooking styles after she studied in Japan. She passed on her techniques and recipes to her daughter, who did the same to a young Jason.
From a young age, Jason showed his affinity for gourmet food by dutifully watching international cooking shows and sounding a trumpet whenever he bit into a perfectly salted popcorn. During college at UCLA, he dabbled in biology and psychology before returning to his true passion for cooking. After spending the next few years honing his skills in the kitchens of restaurants in Los Angeles and Osaka, he opened the doors of his own establishment as the executive chef.
At Maru, Jason draws on his grandmother's principles of culinary fusion as he blends the flavors and textures of French and Japanese fare. He assembles dishes that range from Mediterranean risotto to sushi rolls using an ever-changing assemblage of seasonal ingredients, which he hand-selects each week at the Santa Monica farmers' market. He also has fresh fish flown in overnight from Japan's seafood markets.
To complement Maru's continent-spanning dishes, sommeliers assemble balanced lists of local California wines, imported French blends, and Japanese sakes.
LA Laser and Skin Center's board-certified dermatologist Dr. Daniel Taheri decorates his office with a Valentine Honor, the most prestigious award bestowed upon a UCLA Medical School graduate. A tenacious academic after graduation, he has published more than 25 articles in scientific journals and authored a tome, Practical Management of Skin Cancer, which medical schools use in their curricula, and high school cafeterias boil down into lunches. The Center reaps the benefits of Dr. Taheri's continued diligence, with special departments for skin-cancer management and medical dermatology. Beauty is also cultivated at the cutting edge. Surgery restores battered hands or shapes alluring contours into monuments to the hourglass, and FDA-cleared lasers rejuvenate complexions. The Center is also among the first to try new cosmetic procedures, such as Ultherapy, an FDA-approved noninvasive facelift that has been featured in press outlets such as Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, In Style, and CBS's The Early Show. Dr. Taheri demonstrates his expertise at eight LA Laser and Skin Centers in California and Nevada, and shares professional insights on television networks including CNN and NBC, clips of which you can see on the Center's YouTube channel.
Started as a single Newport Beach clinic in 1971, Lindora was the brainchild of Dr. Marshall Stamper, who was motivated by the unfortunate loss of his mother due to weight-related complications. Now, more than 40 years later, Lindora's weight-loss programs continue to bestow humanoids with a plethora of personalized nutrition plans and private one-on-one health consultations. At more than 40 Southern California locations, medically trained teams of health-care professionals guide patients through lab work, health assessments, and exams to discern the most efficient trajectory into better health. Patients receive encouragement to adjust their lifestyle and behavior, and bellies stay buoyed by nutrition support and menu plans that spotlight fresh, balanced meals.
Long-term weight maintenance is the goal of the clinic's medically-based programs, which means patients needn't worry about extra pounds boomeranging back into their lives like a persistent pet chinchilla. Check the FAQs page here for more information about Lindora's approach to weight loss.

Exhibition: Charles Jennens, The Man Behind 'Messiah'
Handel House Museum
Wed Apr 10 2013
Time Out says
Posted: Fri Nov 16 2012
In a major new exhibition the Handel House Museum explores the life, work and character of Handel's great collaborator Charles Jennens.
An enigmatic character, Jennens had an enormous influence on Handel's life and work. As librettist for the oratorios 'Saul' and 'Belshazzar', he provided the composer with words that inspired some of his most challenging and exciting music. His carefully chosen scripture selection for Messiah was to inspire Handel to even greater creative heights, and together these two men created one of the greatest musical works of all time.
The exhibition examines this relationship in detail, alongside other elements of Jennens's life as a great landowner; the builder of a fine country house with extensive grounds; a major art collector; a Christian philanthropist; a devout defender of revealed religion; an encourager of other authors and composers; a loyal friend; and a forward-looking editor of Shakespeare.
Bringing together exhibits from throughout the UK and beyond, for the first time this landmark exhibition will unite all known oil portraits of Jennens to stand beside Handel House's own magnificent portrait by Thomas Hudson.
The exhibition's curator is Dr Ruth Smith, author of 'Handel's Oratorios and Eighteenth-Century Thought' (CUP), who has made a particular study of the life and work of Jennens.

Cognac Regions
Cognac is rarely born of a single eau-de-vie or a single growing area, but generally from a blend of different ages and crus, sometimes up to a hundred of them.
It can be made also exclusively from certain "cru", for example exclusively from "Grande Champagne", but of different ages.
Grande Champagne : about 13,000 hectares of clay and compact chalk soil. The Grande Champagne cru is located around the town of Segonzac. It produces a very fine, high-quality Cognac. It is known as the Premier Cru du Cognac.
Petite Champagne : some 16,000 hectares of clay and a more compact chalky layer of soil. Petit Champagne is very much of the same quality, but a touch lighter. It's vineyards lie to the south-west and south-east of Grande Champagne.
Fine Champagne : The blending of Grande and Petite Champagne with a minimum of 50% of Grande Champagne is called "Fine Champagne".
Borderies : only 4,000 hectares of unique soil on the plateau above Charente river. The eau de vie has a slight nutty taste. Borderies, which lie around the town of Burie (north-west of City of Cognac), is the smallest of the crus in the terms of acreage. Eaux-de-vie from Borderies has rich, flowery aromas and it is known as "…Cognac that ladies prefer".
Fins Bois : 37,000 hectares of soil. characterized by quick aging environment. A subtle flowery bouquet characterizes this eau de vie. The largest, and by far the intriguing cru, is Fins Bois. Geographically, it rings the other three crus. It lies, approximately, in the triangle between the towns of Rouilliac, Matha and Pons. It has a rich, full, strong aromas with a touch of the maritime climate.
Bons Bois : less chalky but more earthy soil of 16,000 hectares that is well reflected in the eau de vie.
Bois Ordinaires et Bois Communs (Bois a Terroir); 30,000 hectares of soil influenced by the Atlantic climate. Bons Bois and Bois Ordinaires are the exterior crus heavily influenced by the climate of the Atlantic ocean. They contribute less and less to the overall production of Cognac but are, nevertheless, known to produce some interesting Cognacs.

The car park is open two and a half hours prior to kick-off, but there is strictly a no entry rule one hour prior to kick-off. The car park re-opens approximately 45 minutes after the final whistle.
Please note that you will need to book your parking space by 9.00 am two working days prior to a game.
We strongly advise using your allocated parking space or public transport due to road closures and residential parking restrictions on a matchday. However, if you wish to be dropped off and collected the suggested points are either outside the Armoury Store or in Queensland Road at the entrance to the stadium car park.
If you are travelling to the Stadium by car or chauffeur we would be very grateful if you could avoid parking and idling your engine in local streets on matchdays. This causes traffic and environmental problems for local residents. Drivers idling their engines in local streets will be asked by Council officers to switch off their engine or move on. Failing to assist may result in a fine. Drivers parked in contravention could also receive a parking penalty notice.
Access points to your Executive Box are at the North, South or East entrances, the closest will be detailed on your ticket.
To find out more about having an Executive Box at Emirates Stadium, please fill in the below form.
Arsenal have always provided excellent customer service and our employees and guests have always enjoyed great football with the hospitality running smoothly and efficiently around them. I am sure our continued partnership with Arsenal Football club will continue for many years to come.
