"I use Marie Veronique products day and night. I recently got a facial from Kristina Holey that was really informative and helped hone in my regime."
"The non-toxic formulas are rooted in science. Chemist Marie and bio-medical engineer daughter Jay collaborate on all formulas. "
"My favorite natural beauty product is Marie Veronique's Treatment Oil. At first, I was a little freaked to put oil on my face, but it actually keeps me hydrated, grease free and really clear. Plus, it smells heavenly! I like to leave my cleansed skin a little damp before I apply the oil so that it can spread evenly." -- Angela Elias, home editor
"...in a nutshell, [Treatment Mist] hydrates and moisturizes. Redness and inflammation disappear in seconds, leaving you with calmer, brighter skin. A must."
"When it comes to high end skincare, one of my top brand picks is consistently Marie Veronique. Her Everyday Coverage is a fantastic multitasking base and sunscreen, and her Treatment Oil was the key product in helping me get over a yearlong bout of persistent acne."
"One day I tweeted an SOS to the green beauty industry. Someone had to be able to help me understand and treat the outbreaks that were still happening. My skin was confused and so was I.
Much to my amazement, I received the most kind response from a well-established aesthetician, Marie Veronique Nadeau. She, along with her physicist and bio-medical engineer-trained daughter, Jay, had created a family of skincare products, with one line focusing solely on healing and treating acne the all-natural way. We had an hour long phone call and the next day she sent me a care package. I was hooked.

Usually when you hear about some hot model being caught uncovered by the paparazzi, the results are distinctly NSFW. And I suppose it's the same situation with recent spy shots of the next-gen Ford Explorer, only this time the images are more about the "Next Sure Ford Winner" than "Not Safe For Work."
Sure, some Blue Oval diehards might have qualms about the new Explorer effectively becoming a crossover, instead of a "real" body-on-frame SUV, but I'd just refer them to the sales charts. When you look at those numbers, it should be obvious by now that most buyers make their purchase decisions based on a far different set of factors than do enthusiasts.
A perfect example that pops into my head is the Dodge Charger. Although reviving the nameplate on a sedan instead of a coupe seemed like blasphemy at the time, and perhaps did keep some fanboys from buying one, any sales lost for that reason were more than balanced out by purchases from people who just didn't care about what Dodge was doing back in the first muscle-car era.
But getting back to the topic at hand, the new images of the Ford Explorer floating around the Internet, sourced by auto spies at KGP Photography, show the 2012 Ford Explorer completely uncovered, save for its rear. The photos show a bit of the new Ford Taurus in the Explorer's door panels, a forward-slanting C pillar that mimics that of the Chevrolet Equinox and a grille that takes its cues from the wild Ford F-150 Raptor.
When it's all put together, the result effectively splits the difference between the upright Ford Flex and the more sculpted Ford Edge. Which makes perfect sense when you remember that that's where the Explorer will fit in terms of size, too. In fact, once the new Explorer hits the road, Ford will have perhaps the strongest crossover lineup in the industry, with an impressive entry in four different segments.
Things start off with the Ford Escape, which, at 174.4 inches long, it's a bit over an inch longer than the Hyundai Tucson, but well shorter than a Honda CR-V or Toyota RAV4. The Escape is getting a bit long in the tooth, but bolstered by the halo of its hybrid model, it was the top-selling crossover in the industry in February.
Then there's the Ford Edge and it's distinctive wide-body exterior. The Edge continues to gain ground in the marketplace, with sales up 66.7 percent in February, and it will get a nice facelift for the 2011 model year, along with a turbocharged four-cylinder EcoBoost engine. Size-wise, it's nearly a foot longer than the Escape, or roughly the length of the new Kia Sorento.
In theory, the redesigned Explorer would come next. The current vehicle, built on a platform derived from the previous-generation F-150, is 193.4 inches long. That's a noticeable extension over the Edge, and it's likely the new one will have similar dimensions. It's also likely to get an EcoBoost engine as well. Now, the Ford would still end up significantly smaller than something like a Chevrolet Traverse, but it would match up well against the size of a Honda Pilot.
And the Ford Flex, at approximately 202 inches in length, would be able to handle the Traverse and its ilk.
Further, if you want to throw vehicles like the Honda Element, Nissan Cube or Kia Soul into the mix, remember that FoMoCo plans to build some 10 different vehicles of the platform underpinning its new Ford Focus. I'd say the chance that one of those will have crossover cues is excellent.
Just think, that would give the Ford division proper a lineup that included five separate crossover vehicles at a time when most other companies field three.
On the other hand, this will leave Ford with exactly zero body-on-frame SUVs, as the Ford Expedition has almost certainly reached the end of its road. And it's conceivable that this might cause problems of its own.
While no one is expecting their sales to do much growing, there's no doubt a market remains for SUVs. And actually, sales of the Chevrolet Suburban are up 11.3 percent on the year; last month, the Bow-tie division sold just over 5,000 units combined of the Suburban and the body-on-frame Chevrolet Tahoe, which uses the same platform. For comparison's sake, Volkswagen's combined February sales totals for the VW Golf and its hi-po variant, the VW GTI, came to only 2,087 units.
Of course, on the other other hand, Ford will still be pumping out a couple hundred thousand F-150s this year, and it would be a shame'"and a bit of a surprise'"if the pickup's platform doesn't get used in another Blue Oval product in the near future.

'Stomp Out Litter' PSA Returns to NYC Cabs and Dept. of Sanitation Trucks
New York City's dynamic STOMP OUT LITTER anti-litter public awareness campaign launched six years ago by Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg and Sanitation Commissioner John J. Doherty and featuring the cast of STOMP in a vibrant public service announcement encouraging New Yorkers to keep their city clean, can be seen again in New York City cabs and on posters on Department of Sanitation trucks. Watch it here: STOMP OUT LITTER.
The campaign is a joint effort of the Department of Sanitation, the Mayor's Fund to Advance New York City, the New York City Taxi and Limousine Commission (TLC) and NYC & Company, in conjunction with STOMP, the long-running off-Broadway hit.
All five boroughs are captured in the stunning spots, which follow cast members across the City from places including The Bronx Zoo, Staten Island Ferry, Coney Island Boardwalk, World's Fair Unisphere in Flushing Meadows-Corona Park, Central Park, and Times Square. The Mayor's Fund to Advance New York City raised funds to support design, film, and other costs associated with the campaign which were produced by NYC TV and Night Train Films in coordination with Serino Coyne Inc.
STOMP arrived in New York in 1994 from the UK and has become part of the theatrical landscape in New York, across the country and around the world. STOMP has received numerous honors including Olivier, Obie, Drama Desk and Emmy Awards; an Academy Award nomination, and has been seen in venues ranging from The Acropolis to the Academy Awards. In addition to the New York production, STOMP is on a North American tour, a European tour and in London's West End.
The Mayor's Fund to Advance New York City is a not-for-profit corporation established in 1994 to develop partnerships between the City of New York and the private sector. The Mayor's Fund accepts donations that help to promote the general welfare of New York City residents, aid civic improvements and support the work of many City agencies. For more information on the Fund and how to give, visit www.nyc.gov/fund or call 311.

- $45 for a one-hour European facial or a one-hour Swedish massage (up to a $90 value)
- $80 for a one-hour European facial and a one-hour Swedish massage (up to a $180 value)

During an approximately one-hour session, an aesthetician begins the classic European facial by clearing up pores with a deep-cleansing treatment. Next, toner and exfoliation help balance out complexions before a moisturizing cream hydrates and softens skin. A one-hour Swedish massage soothes with gliding strokes and tension-busting kneads.

This really isn't about polar bears any more. At this very moment, the fate of civilization itself hangs in the balance.
It turns out that the way we have been calculating the future impacts of climate change up to now has been missing a really important piece of the picture. It seems we are now dangerously close to the tipping point in the world's climate system; this is the point of no return, after which truly catastrophic changes become inevitable.
Wake up, Freak Out - then get a Grip is a short, animated film by Leo Murray about the single most important task in all of human history: preventing runaway global warming.

Climate of Hope is a 30 minute documentary created to demystify climate change and nuclear energy. While the threat of climate change is now widely accepted in the community, the potential for nuclear power stations in Australia has raised questions about the best strategy for our country to move to a low-carbon economy.
Climate change is now a reality. Leading scientists across the world agree that in a 'business as usual scenario' we have no longer than 10 years to prevent 2-3 degrees of additional global warming that will lead to irreversible climatic changes with dramatic consequences for our planet.
In the summer of 2006, 600 people set up a Camp for Climate Action in the shadow of one of the biggest C02 emitters in Europe: Drax coal-fired power station in Yorkshire / UK. With over one hundred workshops on a wide range of topics, the 10 day camp was a space of collective learning, sustainable living and taking direct action on the root causes of climate change.

Valentino 'Rock 'n Rose' Eau de Parfum
This perfume is light, warm and feminine. It makes me want to fall in love all over again.
Structured but fun, this is just the bag to bring a bold blush of spring into your now . . . regardless of what the weather will bring.
An oversized bloom—beautifully crafted from rich grey suede—adds charming detail to a platform bootie shaped from smooth nappa leather.
The rough and tumble UGG gets a wee bit tender when decorated with a blushing floral print. Turn them down for a more casual look, or go full frontal romantic with the full length of the print.
Pretty, simple and classic.

LeBron rallies Heat past Rockets
LeBron James scored a season-high 38 points, Chris Bosh had 24 points and 10 rebounds, and the Miami Heat rallied to beat the Houston Rockets 113-110 on Monday night.
Dwyane Wade added 19 points for the Heat, who shot 47.6 percent from 3-point range (10 of 21) and 51 percent from the field overall.
Chandler Parsons scored a career-high 25 points and Omer Asik had a career-best 19 points and 14 rebounds for the Rockets, who led 110-106 with 90 seconds left.
James went 3 for 4 from the free throw line over the next minute, then drove for the go-ahead layup with 19 seconds left.
Jeremy Lin shot an airball from 3-point range with 10 seconds left, Wade caught it and the Heat escaped with their sixth straight win over Houston.
The Heat, coming off a 104-86 loss in Memphis on Sunday, looked as though they might blow out Houston early when they opened the game with a 20-5 spurt. Miami started 8 for 12 from the field, while the Rockets missed nine of their first 11 shots.
Wade won the individual matchup with James Harden early on, too, holding him scoreless through the first 8 minutes. Harden got his first field goal in four attempts on a short baseline jumper over Mario Chalmers, but that only cut Miami's lead to 22-9.
Harden scored 10 points with Wade on the bench and his straight-on 3-pointer just before the quarter buzzer cut the deficit to 25-19. Wade was back in for the start of the second quarter and immediately turned a steal into a breakaway layup.
Miami led 56-52 at halftime, as its shooting cooled and Houston found scoring opportunities inside. James had just six points on 2-for-6 shooting and missed his only 3-point attempt in the first half.
James sank two 3s early in the third quarter to get himself going. But Lin hit a 3-pointer and then threaded a nifty bounce pass to Parsons for a fast-break layup, as the Rockets rallied again. Carlos Delfino's 3-pointer from the wing with 5:03 left in the third quarter gave Houston its first lead at 70-69.
The Rockets continued to find holes in the middle of the Heat's defense to keep Miami at bay. James scored 16 points in the third quarter, but rimmed out a 3-pointer just before the buzzer and Houston led 85-82. Houston had 36 points in the paint and 14 second-chance points after three quarters.
Marcus Morris sank two unlikely 3-pointers from the corner over James, and Houston seemed to be on its way to an upset. Parsons' 3 from the corner with 1:29 remaining put Houston up 110-106.
But the Rockets couldn't score again, and Harden missed a 3 at the buzzer with James guarding him closely.
Harden shook off the slow start to score 22 points. Lin had only nine points and six assists.
Notes: James scored in double figures for the 149th consecutive game for Miami, breaking a tie with Wade for the longest streak in franchise history. … The Rockets were still uncertain when coach Kevin McHale would rejoin the team. McHale missed his second straight game to attend to a family matter. "It's a tough time for his family," interim coach Kelvin Sampson said. "Our thoughts and prayers are certainly with him." … Houston Texans general manager Rick Smith and star receiver Andre Johnson, a Miami native, had courtside seats next to prominent defense attorney Rusty Hardin, a regular at Rockets games. Houston running back Arian Foster sat behind them, and James ran over and greeted both players just before the opening tip. … Shane Battier, who played for the Rockets from 2006-11, got a loud ovation when he was introduced in Miami's starting lineup. The Rockets played a tribute video after the first quarter and Battier acknowledged more applause with a wave.

Special Commemorative Issue: The Abeloff Era - Building Upon a Tradition of Excellence
2002-2007 The Abeloff Era: Building Upon a Tradition of Excellence
Date: April 1, 2007
The years 2002-2007 see continued momentum and powerful growth for the Kimmel Cancer Center. Key clinical research findings earn it the nickname of research powerhouse.The David H. Koch Cancer Research Building opens, the third of the Center's new clinical and cancer research buildings.
Kimmel Cancer Center is a Research Powerhouse
Scientific journals are researchers' way of disseminating key findings throughout the research community. Rather than starting from scratch, investigators build on the discoveries of others. In cancer research, the others" are most often five Kimmel Cancer Center investigators, as reported by Science Watch. With more than 90,000 references between them, Stephen Baylin, James Herman, Kenneth Kinzler, David Sidransky, and Bert Vogelstein are named the most frequently cited in cancer research from 1995 to 2005. Science Watch calls the Kimmel Cancer Center a research powerhouse, with its researchers accounting for the top five spots in the oncology category— researchers, they say, who have had a profound influence on modern scientific thought.
Best of the Best for 15 Years
For the 15th consecutive year, the Kimmel Cancer Center is ranked by the much revered U.S. News & World Report annual feature on "America's Best Hospitals" among the top three cancer centers in the nation. The center also receives top ranking for the region in the magazine's most recent report.
The Blueprint for Cancer
The Kimmel Cancer Center group that led the way in defining cancer as a genetic disease uncovers and maps the bulk of culprit genes for colon and breast cancer. What the findings of Bert Vogelstein, Kenneth Kinzler, and Victor Velculescu reveal is the actual blueprint for cancer—a schematic of what is wrong in the control centers of colon and breast cancers.
Their work uncovers about 100 broken genes for each cancer type. It includes genes previously discovered by the group, but the majority are new genes that had not been known to play a role in tumors. Key to these findings is the realization that mutations vary from tumor to tumor, with a combination of at least 20 alterations driving each individual colon or breast cancer indicating that no two patients' cancers are identical. The team expects their discoveries to be repeated in other cancers, leading to novel strategies for the detection and treatment of a variety of cancers.
Old Method Brings New Hope to Ovarian Cancer Patients
Ovarian cancer expert Deborah Armstrong leads the way in reevaluating a 50-year-old method for delivering chemotherapy into the abdomen in women with ovarian cancer. She directs a seven-year study of 400 women that renews interest in the abandoned method when her findings reveal increased survival rates in women with advanced ovarian cancer. In intraperitoneal therapy, or IP, as this new delivery method is called, a spaghetti-like tube is inserted into the patient's abdomen to bathe the area in high concentrations of anticancer drugs. Armstrong says it appears to be better at destroying lingering cancer cells.Patients also receive traditional intravenous chemotherapy to kill cancer cells that might have spread beyond the abdomen. As a result of the study, the Gynecologic Oncology Group now recommends IP as the new standard for many women with ovarian cancer.
Detecting Breast Cancer
Breast cancer researcher Sara Sukumar reports that it is possible to find breast cancer in a tiny drop of breast fluid. A method to screen body fluids for certain kinds of cells and some of their genetic blueprints provides a new detection tool that may be significantly more accurate than the pathologist's microscope in spotting breast cancer cells.
The test is called QM-MSP. It simultaneously determines the percentage of a cancerrelated biological process known as methylation in each of four to five known breast cancer genes. The percentages are then added together and compared to a threshold value. A score above the threshold indicates the potential presence o cancer. Sukumar believes the est could be used in head and neck and lung cancer detection when applied to oral lavages and sputum samples.
Broccoli Sprouts May Prevent Cancer
Sprouts from broccoli seeds contain high concentrations of sulforaphane, a compound with documented cancer prevention capabilities. Now, a team of Cancer Center investigators is harnessing and testing its power in clinical cancer prevention trials. Kala Visvanathan is evaluating whether broccoli sprouts increase the activity of a protective enzyme in breast tissue obtained from women undergoing elective breast surgeries.
In related studies, Jed Fahey finds that in addition to its cancer prevention properties, broccoli sprouts act as an antibiotic against the bacteria that cause gastritis, an underlying factor in ulcers and some stomach cancers. Albena Dinkova-Kostova finds that a broccoli-sprouts topical extract may prevent sun-induced cancers.
Davidson Leads Largest Cancer Professional Group
Breast cancer program director Nancy Davidson is elected 2007 president of the American Society of Clinical Oncology, a group of nearly 25,000 clinical oncologists. As the world's leading professional organization representing physicians who treat people with cancer, ASCO is committed to advancing the education of oncologists and other oncology professionals, advocating for policies that provide access to high-quality cancer care, and supporting the clinical trials system and the need for increased clinical and translational research.
Telomere Expert Receives Nation's Most Prestigious Award
Carol Greider, one of the world's pioneering researchers on the structure of chromosome ends known as telomeres, is a recipient of the 2006 Albert Lasker Award for Basic Medical Research. The Lasker Award, dubbed the "American Nobel" is awarded to Greider for her co-discovery of the enzyme telomerase, an enzyme that maintains the length of telomeres and is believed to be a key factor in cancer development and progression.
Fixing Broken Genes
Stephen Baylin's pioneering work focusing on mishaps in a cellular process known as DNA methylation that can silence cancer-halting genes is the target for a new cancer therapy. Clinical trials using drugs that block methylation and restore the function of key tumor suppressor genes result in partial or complete remission in up to half of patients with a preleukemic condition known as myelodisplastic syndrome and leukemia. Results from these multicenter trials lead to the first FDA approval of a demethylating agent and earn Baylin recognition from the NCI as the most outstanding SPORE in 2004.
Ovarian Cancer Is Silent No More
Often referred to as the silent cancer, ovarian cancer is well known for its ability to remain hidden until it has advanced. Daniel Chan may have brought the stealth cancer out of hiding with a simple blood test that detects three blood proteins that are unique to ovarian cancer. It is one of many findings coming out of a new Biomarker Discovery Center. Currently, the research team is focusing on the markers for which the best biological evidence exists linking them to ovarian cancer. They hope to improve the test to differentiate as many ovarian cancer patients from non-cancer patients as possible. He believes that combining discovered proteins into a multimarker assay may improve early detection of ovarian cancer.
One Gene Mistake Responsible for Most Thyroid Cancers
A single genetic mistake causes about two-thirds of papillary thyroid cancers. New therapies to counteract the mistake are now being studied. A mutation of the BRAF gene is found in 68 percent (24 of 35 samples) of papillary thyroid cancers. These tumors account for about 75 percent of thyroid cancers and occur mostly in women. Investigator David Sidransky says this is the first major genetic event identified for common thyroid cancers. His goal is to find better diagnostics and drug therapies designed to target the effects of this mutation.
Statins Cut Prostate Cancer Risk
In a 10-year study of more than 30,000 health professionals, Johns Hopkins and Harvard researchers find that the longer men take cholesterol-lowering drugs, such as statins, the less likely they are to develop advanced prostate cancer. Lead investigator Elizabeth Platz finds that statin-takers cut their risk for advanced disease in half. Although earlier, smaller studies have linked the use of statins to a lower risk of prostate and other cancers, such as breast and colon, this is the first to track medication used before participants got cancer and tie risk reduction to prostate cancer stage.
David H. Koch, a Name to Know in Cancer Research
David H. Koch, philanthropist and executive vice president of the nation's largest privately owned company, Koch Industries, Inc., commits $20 million to support a new cancer research building at Johns Hopkins. The building is named the David H. Koch Cancer Research Building in his honor.
The 267,000-square-foot building opens in 2006 and expands the complex for cancer investigators on the southwest corner of the medical campus. With five floors of laboratories and 10 stories of officespace, the building is home to researchers in fields including prostate, brain, pancreas, skin, lung, and head and neck cancers. A 250-seat, high-tech auditorium connects this newest research tower with its twin, the Bunting Blaustein Cancer Research Building.
A Heated Approach
Investigators Donald Coffey, Theodore DeWeese, and Robert Getzenberg are deciphering the changes to the nuclear structure of the cancer cell when it is heated. They use a testicular cancer model to prove that cancer cells exposed to heat are easier to kill with drug and radiation therapies. The researchers call their model TEMT (temperature enhanced metastatic therapy) because it explains how even advanced cancers that have spread beyond the original tumor site can be reined in with heat.
In testicular cancer, cancer cells naturally heat up as they migrate from the cooler testes to other, warmer parts of the body. The researchers are working to artificially create this same heating of cancer cells in prostate cancer. To move the model forward clinically, they devise an approach involving a novel combination of chemistry and imaging technology.
They use something called aptamer polymers, small RNA molecules that attach to iron particles. The iron particles, in turn, naturally attach to cancer cells throughout the body.Patients receiving the aptamer polymers would be given a MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scan. The magnets in the MRI cause the iron particles to move around just enough to heat up the cancer cells they are attached to and potentially make even advanced cancers more vulnerable to anticancertherapies.
Radiation Oncology Earns Departmental Status
Radiation Oncology takes on new importance as the Department of Radiation Oncology and Molecular Radiation Sciences. After a national search, the Kimmel Cancer Center's own Ted DeWeese is named as the new department's first chairman.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 9/1/2013 (1687 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
A Winnipeg man has been found not guilty of aggravated assault for a parking lot attack that left his victim brain-damaged.
Robert Nasuti didn't deny punching the victim once in the face outside of Cowboy's bar in November 2009. But he took the witness stand in his own defence this week, saying he had no choice but to lash out or face a likely beating himself.
Queen's Bench Justice Brenda Keyser agreed with him on Wednesday, saying she believes he acted in self-defence.
"Mr. Nasuti always maintained he acted in self-defence. Both Crown and defence witnesses alike confirmed he was standing alone and confronted by three or four fellows from the other group," defence lawyer Mike Cook told the Free Press outside court.
"The fact he only threw one punch reinforced our position that he felt threatened at the time and did the absolute minimum he could to ward off the aggressors."
The victim was a larger man than Nasuti and had made a series of sexually derogatory remarks to a group of Nasuti's female friends who had gone to the bar that night, court was told. Nasuti claims he "reacted in a panic" when the victim then came towards him in the parking lot, clearly looking for a fight.

Far reaching macro-economic and structural reforms combined with increases in government spending have been the primary drivers of Tanzania's growth acceleration. As growth in government spending slows, the locomotive for growth will need to shift to increased demand for exports and domestically produced goods, requiring Tanzania to strengthen substantially its international competitiveness, accelerate structural change, and safeguard the environment while maintaining macroeconomic stability. For Tanzania's poor to be able to participate and benefit from important growth, a greater focus on rural development, improved governance of the management of Tanzania's natural resources, and better targeting of social services to the poor is suggested. Successful design and implementation of a shared growth strategy will also require a strengthening of policy management and coordination in Tanzania to ensure that scarce human and financial resources are effectively deployed.

The Difference BetweenTax Planning and Tax Preparing
What mistakes do people make when planning their approach to taxes?
ELEANOR BLAYNEY: Tax payers often confuse "tax planning" with "tax preparation." The first looks forward for opportunities and strategies to reduce your future tax liabilities. "Tax preparation," by contrast, requires looking in the rear-view mirror, gathering and organizing your information from a past year, primarily for compliance with tax laws.
Nevertheless, most people think they're planning when they're preparing. This time of year especially, everyone fixates on taxes, trying to reduce the amount they'll owe on April 15. The problem is there aren't many ways to significantly reduce 2013 taxes when you're midstream in 2014. Once the tax horse is out of the proverbial barn, the best advice involves reminding taxpayers of deductions and credits they might otherwise forget. However, any competent tax preparer or online tax-preparation software will optimize a taxpayer's options, such as filing status, the use of standard versus itemized deducting, or the availability of credits based on dependents.
The goal of tax preparation is to avoid leaving money on the table. The goal of tax planning is to have more money on the table in the first place. Americans would be far better off if they worked with a Certified Financial Planner to consider strategies they can use going forward–such as timing income and deductions across different tax years, the best retirement plan options, or IRA and 401(k) conversions into Roths–as they do on making sure the i's are dotted and the t's crossed on their 1040 for last year.
As for other mistakes–like getting big refunds every year or confusing what is owed on April 15 with total tax liability–don't get me started.
Eleanor Blayney (@EleanorBlayney) is consumer advocate of the Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards.

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — A U.S. Marine awarded the nation's highest military honor is suing a defense contractor that he says cost him a job by characterizing him as mentally unstable and having alcohol problems to a prospective employer.
Dakota Meyer was presented the Medal of Honor by President Barack Obama in September, becoming the third living recipient of the nation's highest award for valor.
Meyer filed a defamation lawsuit on Monday against his former employer, BAE Systems OASYS Inc. The 23-year-old says the company retaliated after he raised objections to its sale of weapons systems to Pakistan.
BAE Systems spokesman Brian Roehrkasse said Tuesday the company was grateful to Meyer for his bravery but strongly disagreed with his claims.
The lawsuit was first reported by The Wall Street Journal.

With Meg White fully recovered from anxiety that caused the group's hiatus, Jack White is expected to revive the band imminently.
The White Stripes are on the verge of reuniting after bandmember Meg White recovered from the anxiety problem that caused the group to split. The band was forced to cancel a string of gigs in 2007 because of Meg's condition, forcing them into hiatus.
Her bandmate Jack White has since occupied his time recording and performing with his other band The Raconteurs. But he reveals he has been spending more and more time with Meg, and hints he's open to a reunion. White says, "I don't think her anxiety exists anymore. She is still involved and everything."
But White admits the reunion could take a while - because they've never planned ahead. He adds, "We've never sat down and gone, 'Okay, so don't forget to block out three months.' We never did that, even in the thick of craziness of The White Stripes, I have nothing planned after this month coming up, but I know that it all will be filled up really fast."

BMW Questions? Ask a BMW Repair Expert for Answers.
To replace the hub on this vehicle many special tools are needed. Also at the same time the wheel bearing has to be replaced due to the hub cannot be removed without damage to the wheel bearing. The wheel bearing is then installed and then the hub is drawn into the wheel bearing.
The brakes and brake shoes need to be removed first.
Then you can remove the hub and wheel bearing.
One trick that you might be able to do is to have someone hold pressure on the axle and carefully tap the hub into place. Once in fare enough the hub bolt can be used to draw it in the rest of the way. The only bad thing is you risk damage to the wheel bearing if the inner race walks out by not using the special tools. It can be done but sometimes the race will walk out.
I hope this is helpful. Please accept this answer and Thank you.

I've managed to get the cushions out so far (the ones that you sit on), but I can't get the cushions that you lean up against out.

Feet meet Elbows = Love!
We were so honored to be asked to sponsor the Northbrook Speed Skating Club's 60th Annual Short Track Open last week!
This club is notorious for pumping out Olympic Speed Skaters since the 1950's! Check out this impressive list of Olympians!
So how did a SpeedSkating Club from a Chicago Suburb get involved with a Hoodie Shirt Company in Northern California?
Well, NBSSC contacted us after a group of their kids discovered our shirts, and then discovered how wonderful they are to practice in!
So, they decided they wanted to help promote MouthMan while raising funds for their annual open, and maybe even, one day soon we could make MouthMan SpeedSkating Skins
How could we resist?!
So we sent a check, some artwork and a bunch of MouthMan Shark shirts that they decided to use in place of traditional trophies for time trial winners.
They had them all embroidered with their logo!
They became highly coveted!!
Even the Officials got in on the fun!
Our cash donation was well spent- at $350 per hour for an eight hour event, the ice time alone was a huge expense!
Our sponsorship included some goodies for us too!
~Naming rights for the event- It was now the 2014 MouthMan® Northbrook Short Track Speed Skating Open .
That looked really good on the giant banner in front and on the press release that was sent to all of the local News Stations.
T-shirts with all of the Sponsors logos were made- with the most prominent position and size reserved for MouthMan.
We have two 44X 60 Banners and 3 crash mat ads displayed at the rinks for the entire year.
We gave Olympic Speed Skaters Brian Hansen and Mitch Whitmore a few of our favorite Hoodies to give them a boost of fierce, and they ended up taking the trip to Sochi with them!- All in all, we got tons of exposure during the meet, we made any many new friends, and even got some recognition from US Speed Skating Association!
We'll be sharing more photos of this newly forged relationship in the next few weeks as the Olympics wind down- in the meantime we created some special Chompbucks for people to use and share.
One dollar from every order that is placed using this code will be donated to Northbrook Speed Skating Club- so spread the word!
Get'em! Use'em! Share 'em! #chompbucks are virtual dollars in the form of a#discountcode that spend just like money on our website!
This chomp bucks code is CHOMP10nbssc and gets you 10 bucks off anything!!
Plus, every purchase using this code gets $1donated to Northbrook Speed Skating club!

TV Casting Roundup: "Heroes," "Bionic," "Big Shots"
TV Casting Roundup: "Heroes," "Bionic," "Big Shots"
- Really, guys, how many "Heroes" are there going to be? Today brings news that Jessica Collins, formerly of "The Nine," has joined the cast in a recurring role. She'll play Sophie, a "mysterious woman with powers" — who isn't, these days? — who works at the organization that's tracking the heroes. She'll join fellow "The Nine" alum Dana Davis on the show.
- Paul Blackthorne, most recently of Sci Fi's "Dresden Files," will appear this fall on ABC's guy-fest "Big Shots." His character will be the fifth CEO, a successful tycoon whom the other four CEOs — played by Michael Vartan, Christopher Titus, Dylan McDermott and Joshua Malina — envy.
- Linda Park, most recently of "Raines," will be a regular on "Women's Murder Club," playing a deputy district attorney.
- Bruce McGill, who's had supporting parts in pretty much everything, now has a recurring role on "Bionic Woman" as a powerful operative within the bionics program.

Movie: 12 Monkeys (1995)
Writer: Chris Marker (original novel: La jetée); David Peoples and Janet Peoples (screenplay)
Leave it to eccentric, and often brilliant, filmmaker Terry Gilliam to send our brains into a frantic tailspin. By the end of 1995's loony 12 Monkeys, it's impossible not to feel mentally exhausted, thanks to the ambiguous plot—about a man from a desolate, post-apocalyptic future (Bruce Willis) who's sent back in time to prevent the devastation from happening—and multitude of cerebral turns.
The craziest of which comes at the end, when it's revealed that all of the batshit dreams and bleak memories that Willis' character, James Cole, has been having are little more than hallucinations suffered by a much younger Cole right before he gets shot to death in an airport. Trust us, it's no easier to decipher when you actually watch the movie, but, like all of Gilliam's creative successes, that's what makes 12 Monkeys such a singular vision. Albeit, one of pure madness.

Sound — 10
A very solid follow up to Under the Table and Dreaming, in which the band has followed Dave Matthews back to his African roots. One more Carter Beauford (drums) takes his talent and performance to another level. Leroi Moore (horns) gets grovin' and adds nice depth to many of the tracks. Bassist Stefan Lessard once more demonstrates why he deserves to be a part of the band despite his young age, knowing when and how much to do and tastefully. Boyd Tinsley (violen) really adds to this album. His range and energy pours out of the tracks. This is very much a pop-rock album. Songs like So Much To Say, Too Much, Crash Into Me and Tripping Billies are easy singles. The band hasn't lost his jazz touch in songs #41, Say Goodbye and Lie In Our Graves. Two Step is a definate concert song, with it's long intro and driving half-time rhythm. A solid "pleaser" album.
Lyrics — 10
Solid. Dave Matthews is a very good lyricis. Cry Freedom could easily be considered the best in this category, being filled with power, emotion and imagery. The blend of lyrics and instruments in Say Goodbye is so well done, and much of the same could be said about #41. The pop ballad Crash satisfies any pop lover with it's transic and erotic nature. Matthews' vocals will never be considered along the lines of a Tony Bennett, but can be easily compared to Rob Thomas or "The Boss" and is quite servicable. His catchy quirks and hooks will keep you listening.
Overall Impression — 9
Although I would not rate it, as an album, better than many of the other band's cd's, I would have to say that it arguably has more singles than any of their other albums. It's a shame that it'll only be remembered for the track Crash and just another DMB album by most. A very solid album overall. As iTunes put it, "A crowd-pleaser rather than a ground-breaker, Crash delivers where it counts."

Why Not St. Jude's poeple ask?
Many have asked why we have not gone to St. Jude's. Well guys heres our answer. We know they are a great research center, and the treatments are free. This all sounds good, but the flip side these treatments are ongoing for Tessa for the next 5 years, then continue to see doctors for the rest of her life. Lekumia is cancer-- it really never goes away and she will always be at rick of it comming back. Daily treatments for 1 month, then 3 time a week the following and do on. To have to relocate with my daughter for the next 3 -5 years is not an option. I have 3 other children and a business to continue to run. To relocate would only help us financially for Tessa's medical yes, but how would this help my other children not being able to heal with her, or even my business? Lets face it, treatments of any kind for what ever the reason is, and medicine continue to go up daily. The lower income bracketts continue to grow as many give up on the systems amd stop working all together as it is eaiser to get through to get help. This is not who we are, or what we stand for in our business or our faimly. In SC if you do not meet the "low income" requirements it can take up to 6 -9 months, befor approved for help, vs. 60-90 days for the low income. Where does this leave is average person?


text: Managed to get my hands on a totally mint condition Symphony II+ Radio from a 2007 A3 Sportback, exactly the same model as mine. Got the Quadlock cable from Kufatech.de and told them specifically what I needed the cable for and that I had the Bose Sound System (the Bose GND wire is linked to the CD GND wire on it so they took heed). Put the Symphony II+ in and the following behaviour happens: When the engine is off the FM/AM radio reception is absolutely fine. I start the engine. About 10 seconds after I have started the engine, it loses it's reception completely as if the aerial is disconnected, but it is definitely securely connected. Leave the engine running. Switch the radio off and then on again and it will cut the reception out after 10 secs. I've tried changing all the radio settings (RDS, GALA etc.) but it does this systematically. Switch the engine off. Switch the radio off and then on again and the reception is fine. Took it to some engineers (thanks guys) who had a look using VAGCOM and they say the radio isn't coded for Bose, and also that the coding radios for Symphony II+ is slightly different. It will not accept the code. Has anyone ever had this problem before or even better do they know of a fix? I'm sure it has to be rectified. The strangest thing is the CD player is totally fine and works a treat, audio CDs, MP3 CDs the works! I really like this radio and hope to get over this one quirk.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 14/11/2012 (1741 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
BRETT HULL is excited to see what his friend and former teammate Adam Oates can do as the head coach of the Washington Capitals, particularly when it comes to how he can help revitalize Alex Ovechkin.
Well, to a certain extent.
"I'm excited about it but I'm also not really excited about it because he's going to break all the records," Hull said with a laugh. "It's crazy. He's going to thrive under Oates. There's just no question. When I played, Adam was my coach. He told me what we were going to do, when we were going to do it, how we were going to do it and it always worked. He'll be able to do the same thing with Ovechkin and (Nicklas) Backstrom too."
Leading up to Oates' induction into the Hockey Hall of Fame on Monday night, Hull has spent a lot of time reminiscing about his time playing with the Weston, Ont., native.
They played only 195 regular season games together in St. Louis, but both men readily admit that their chemistry was unlike any other experience they had during their careers. In less than three seasons, Oates recorded 286 points (228 assists) and Hull, who is also enshrined in the Hall of Fame, notched 212 of his 741 career goals. Hull believes that Oates' experience working with superstar players, from himself to Boston's Cam Neely and Washington's Peter Bondra, will help the first-time head coach make a connection with Ovechkin.
"To me, the number one thing in being a great coach is being able to understand great players," Hull said. "Alex Ovechkin is going to be like a kid in a candy store. He's going to be reborn and he's going to be the happiest kid on the planet because he's going to have a coach that gets him."
The decline in Ovechkin's scoring prowess has been well documented over the past two years. He went from three consecutive seasons with more than 100 points and at least 50 goals to totaling just 85 points (32 goals) in 2010-11. Last year, his offensive production shrunk to 65 points (38 goals) and in the playoffs Dale Hunter, whom Oates later replaced, infamously limited Ovechkin's post-season ice time.
If there's anyone who can jump-start Ovechkin, it's Oates, Hull said. "He's going to get Ovechkin. He's going to get the ego -- and egos aren't a bad thing," Hull said. "All great players, all great goal scorers have egos. You have to feed the ego and the more you feed the ego, the happier Ovechkin is, the happier the rest of the team is, the better the rest of the team plays."
On Monday, Oates agreed with the assessment that his time as a teammate of elite players prepared him to understanding the demands they face when coaching them.
"They have different pressures," Oates said. "They drive to the rink and he expects to score a goal tonight. Yeah, he wants to win, but he expects to score a goal. 'Yeah, we're going to win, and me score.' (Alex Rodriguez) goes to the ballpark expecting to hit a homer, not a single; Kobe Bryant knows he's going to get 30 shots. 'If we're going to win, it's because I'm scoring tonight' -- they have a different mindset."
-- The Washington Post

Brent crude rose nearly $3 a barrel on Thursday, closing shy of $103 as a rate cut by the European Central Bank supported riskier assets, although a shaky outlook for global oil demand and ample supply capped gains.
The ECB cut its main interest rate to a record low of 0.50 percent, sparking a broad commodity rally and boosting equities and the dollar, one day after the U.S. Federal Reserve said its own monetary policy would remain unchanged.
A better-than-expected U.S. jobless claims report suggested the employment market was recovering. Data showed claims for jobless benefits fell sharply last week to 324,000, a five-year low.
Brent crude gained $2.90 a barrel to settle at $102.85 after trading between $102.98 and $99.51. It fell more than 2 percent on Wednesday and has lost over 7 percent this year.
U.S. crude closed $2.96 higher at $93.99 a barrel, up 3.25 percent.
"Oil is up because of the stock market and the Europeans lowering their interest rate. The thought is that is going to improve their economy and increase demand," said Mark Waggoner, president of Excel Futures in Bend, Oregon.
After trading up around $1 throughout the morning, prices spiked upward around 11:30 a.m. EDT (1530 GMT) and again just before 2:30 p.m. EDT (1830 GMT). Traders cited refinery troubles and a climate of volatility as possible factors behind the climb.
"The Fed hasn't changed the outlook for stimulus, and we now have (ECB President) Mario Draghi on board for more stimulus. Add in a little refinery outage, and boom, you're on your way," said Phil Flynn, energy analyst with Price Futures Group in Chicago, referring to a catalytic cracker outage at CVR Refining's 70,000-barrels-per-day refinery in Wynnewood, Oklahoma.
Gene McGillian, an analyst with Tradition Energy in Stamford, Connecticut, said the present economic uncertainty contributed to price volatility.
"The trading range is between $85 and $95 (for U.S. crude)," he said.
"Until we get a clear indication of how the global economy is going to look over the next six months to a year, we can expect this whipsaw trading to dominate the action."
Larger issues of supply, demand and global growth prospects raise doubt about oil's trajectory in the medium term.
A survey showed China's factory-sector growth eased in April, suggested the euro zone recession and sluggish U.S. demand may be weighing on China's recovery. Another survey showed India's factories lost momentum last month.
"In the short term, weak demand prospects will keep oil prices in check," said Carsten Fritsch, an analyst at Commerzbank in Frankfurt. "Prices will struggle to make considerable gains in the current quarter."
While the demand picture is shaky, supplies are strong. Oil output from the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries rose in April, according to surveys this week.
On Wednesday, a U.S. government report showed crude stocks in the United States hit a record high of 395.3 million barrels, weighing on oil prices.
Despite bearish developments in oil demand and supply, Wednesday's pledge by the U.S. Federal Reserve to stick to its monetary stimulus plan has provided some support. Investors are waiting for Friday's U.S. nonfarm payrolls report for April. (Additional reporting by Alex Lawler in London; Editing by Marguerita Choy and Dale Hudson)
