David Wain has given comedy fans "Wet Hot American Summer," "The State," "Stella," "Role Models" and more, and for his next trick? He's taking on rom-coms with "They Came Together," and the results look promising.
Starring Amy Poehler and Paul Rudd, and penned by Wain and frequent collaborator Michael Showalter, the genre spoof (of sorts) follows knick-knack shop owner who crosses paths with a company man, whose firm is trying to shut her store down. What happens next? As our review out of the Sundance Film Festival attests, it's something with "a silly, goofy smile and a sharp, savage bite." And featuring a roster of solid co-stars including Max Greenfield, Ed Helms, Michael Ian Black, Cobie Smulders, Ken Marino, Jack McBrayer, Kenan Thompson, Jason Mantzouakas and more, this thing has comedic ringers at every turn.
"They Came Together" hits theatres and VOD on June 27th. [Buzzfeed]

Dutch platform Blocktrail has received $670k investment from BlockCorp, founded by Boaz Bechar and former Vkontakte shareholder Lev Leviev.
BlockTrail is a free app which provides analysis of bitcoin transactions. It could be useful to both private companies and public organisations.
Bitcoins are now very much on the venture radar. Yury Milner recently invested in startup Khapo, as part of a $20 million investment round. Khapo is a system that allows users to process bitcoin payments. The company intends to increase public trust in the cryptocurrency, and thus make its use more widespread.
About Lev Leviev
Lev Leviev formerly held 8% of shares in Vkontke, but he and his partner Vyacheslav Mirilashvili sold their stakes to Ilya Shcherbovich's fund UCP in April 2013. Last month, Leviev and Mirilashvili's fund Vaizra Capital invested $2.5 million in Coub, a video looping service.

NEW DELHI: The Indian markets ended the volatile week in the red, led by weak global environment and profit booking in rate-sensitive stocks. The Sensex and the Nifty slipped over 1 per cent each for the week ended March 15, 2013.
Investors will remain cautious ahead of the Reserve Bank of India's mid-quarter monetary policy on March 19, Tuesday. The decision on key policy rates by the RBI is likely to set the trend for the market this week.

Ali Landry's Breastfeeding Blunder and MoreBethany Sanders
Hey moms: Scientists have come up with the perfect sports bra with optimal support. Here's the problem: No one has invented it yet. — Jezebel
Ali Landry and her husband accidentally ripped the hose off a fuel tank due to a breastfeeding misunderstanding. Ali popped back into the car to feed the baby while pumping gas, and her husband slipped into the driver's seat and drove away. Have breastfeeding or early parenthood ever made you do something disasterously forgetful? — Momformation.
The original Nanny McPhee is one of my favorite family movies, so I was anxious to read these early reviews of Nanny McPhee Returns. The general consensus seems to be: Not as good as the first, but a close second. — The Stir
A 54-year-old Massachusetts teacher was fired for making unfriendly comments about her students and their parents on Facebook. She explains that she didn't understand Facebook's privacy settings and thought only her friends could see them. Social Networking 101: If you don't want everyone to see it, don't put it online. Firing seems harsh, though. What do you think?
You're done breastfeeding your one-year-old and it's time to transition to milk — it really is as easy as it sounds (unless you have an allergic or lactose intolerant baby), so why does it seem so hard? Alphamom's Amalah lays out the basics of weaning for nervous parents.

To all of my avid readers:
The problems that we will see this week are actually 3 easy ones with one that someone actually did a LOT of homework on (so much, that I wonder why he is asking me?). The first is to Kassy with the noisy Taurus. Kassy, it sounds like your speedometer cable needs to be greased. This may sound easy, but with out the proper tool, it's actually impossible. You need to either disconnect the speedo cable from the speedo or the transmission, and attach a grease coupling and just give it a squirt. Any transmission shop should be able to do this. The next is directed to our neighbors to the north (the Great White North). Angela, that dreaded metric system (the whole world uses it but us Americans). 3000 miles equals 4827 kilometers. Just take miles and multiply by 1.609 to get kilometers.
Dear Floyd,
Check out www.edmunds.com. From there, you can find links to dealers and stuff. The best part about this site is that it actually gives you dealer costs for options. It doesn't give the actual invoice, but instead what it should cost. This way, you have some ammuntion when you go in there for battle. It also gives you a lot of information about every car sold, so if you don't know what you are looking for, then this will help you out.
And here is my final response. I included his original letter so you can see what I mean.
Thanks for all your advice. We've been with the dollar stretcher for a few months now, and I read them all. My problem is with my 1983 Toyota Camry with a mere 191,500 miles. It has an intermittent failure to start. The car turns over fine, but won't catch. The problem is very inconsistent. It might not happen for a few weeks, then several times in a week. Sometimes all I (or my wife ) needs to do is remove or loosen the distributor cap and put it back on (with or without removing any of the plug wires) and Vroom, it starts right up. Sometimes taking the cap off (exorcising the distributor demons) is ineffective, and we take another car that day. It always starts later on or the next day when I get back to it. My diagnosis has been no spark, which I have found by checking the wires with a spark tester (yes an accurate/reliable one). In my search for the errant part, I have replaced the coil (new), the igniter/ignition module (junkyard), the pickup coil (new), the cap and rotor (new), the wiring harness to the ignition module (junkyard). Today, I have just replaced the gasket to the cap at the suggestion of a Toyota service manager. I have found that there is no spark coming out of the coil when it is not firing (by putting the spark testing tool directly on the coil hi tension tap with a clip). I have checked to verify that there is power to the coil, and it has always had 12 VDC when I check.
My last resort is to buy a $200 rebuilt distributor from one of the local discount auto parts places, but I am reluctant to do that without a sure diagnosis. I am speculating that the distributor bearings are worn and the clearance between the vanes and the pickup coil is varying while the distributor shaft is at low RPMs during starting. I believe it requires .004 inch when setting up the pickup coil, it is in the book. My distributor is original.
I haven't been able to locate another '83-86 model for a reasonable price to replace it, and wonder if it is really ready to die. Any Ideas? Your input would be most appreciated.
Rob W.
Dear Rob,
My first inclination would be a bad ignition module and then a bad pick up sensor. Does that car have a cam or a crank sensor as well? Then I thought maybe the ignition switch is faulty and does not give good contact. You seemed to check everything else and even went so far as to measure clearance on the distributor lobes. It could be a bad ground or a bad wire in a harness somewhere. You know that they sell emergency ignition kits. This kit is supposed to help you start a car in situations like this. It has a few wires that you can attach with clips. It bypasses most ignitions modules and switches. I think that JC Whitney had it.
Good Luck!
Drive Safely!

This is a video sure to get your blood boiling. Thanks to Mike Malloy for calling attention to it.
Keeper of the Mountains are a West Virginia group opposed to 'mountain top removal' mining. 'MTR' is basically wanton environmental destruction, ultra-strip mining, a just-blow-the-shit-up 'energy industry' practice. The 'who wouldn't want a moonscape?' transformation of beautiful West Virginia.
Here, the video:
What a lovely sight: fat, drunken, violent pro-corporate thugs just dying to bring bloodshed to a peaceful 4th of July celebration.
Tales of mountain top removal:
Larry Gibson and Kayford Mountain. Larry Gibson's family has lived on or near Kayford Mountain since the late 1700's. More than 300 relatives are buried in the cemetery on Kayford Mountain. Larry and his family used to live on the lowest lying part of the mountain, and looked "up" to the mountain peaks that surrounded them. Since 1986, the slow motion destruction of Kayford Mountain has been continuous — 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Eighteen years after the "mountain top removal" project began, Larry Gibson now occupies the highest point of land around; he is enveloped by a 12,000 acre pancake in what was previously a mountain range.
Keeper of the Mountains Foundation was created to fund Larry Gibson's efforts to preserve and foster the values of moutain culture. KOTM also supports his ongoing effort to tell the story of the destruction of Kayford Mountain and the surrounding community as a result of mountain top removal. On February 2, 2005, the IRS determined that KOTM was exempt from taxation as a qualified 501 (c)(3) organization, and that contributions to KOTM are deductible under § 170 of the Internal Revenue Code.

- Sunday Book Review cover: Garrison Keillor on the Autobiography of Mark Twain: "The book turns out to be a wonderful fraud on the order of the Duke and the Dauphin in their Shakespearean romp, and bravo to Samuel Clemens, still able to catch the public's attention a century after he expired. He speaks from the grave, he writes, so that he can speak freely "" 'as frank and free and unembarrassed as a love letter' "" but there's precious little frankness and freedom here and plenty of proof that Mark Twain, in the hands of academics, can be just as tedious as anybody else when he is under the burden of his own reputation."
- Michael Kinsley on Decision Points by George W. Bush: "I would take George W. Bush's schoolboy petulance and solipsism, which at least seem authentic and human, over George H. W.'s grandee-with-a-switchblade any day. There is something very modern, almost New Agey, and endearingly insecure, about the tone and posture the son adopts in 'Decision Points.' Even as he's bombing Baghdad back to the Stone Age, he's very much in touch with his feelings."
- Maslin on The Sherlockian by Graham Moore: "[C]onsider 'The Sherlockian,' a new novel predicated entirely on Holmes worship, Holmes mimicry, Holmes artifacts and assorted other forms of Holmesiana. Its smart young author, Graham Moore, has done much more than fall into the fancy of Holmes's existence. He has fallen down a Holmes well. He's going to take a lot of readers with him too. Thanks to the sly self-awareness that keeps 'The Sherlockian' smart and agile, it's possible to enjoy this book's laughable affectations and still be seduced by them."
- Peter Campion on Canti by Giacomo Leopardi, translated by Jonathan Galassi: "The 41 poems in Leopardi's collected 'Canti' are distinct, and beautiful, for dwelling on a threshold between feeling and thought, between the sensuous world and the mind, between presence and absence. Like no other poet, Leopardi captures the subtlest sensations, just before they vanish.... The publication, at last, of a definitive English version of the 'Canti' should constitute an event in itself. But this book does something even greater.... Now, he may become as important to our own literature as, say, Baudelaire or Rilke, poets of comparable genius, whose work has long been available in fine translations."
Washington Post:
- James Rosen on Outside Looking In by Garry Wills: "Such a mind can hardly be uninteresting. Yet Wills, now 76, proceeds here as though he believes it is, allotting little space in this slender memoir to self-examination. His subtitle, 'Adventures of an Observer,' neatly captures the author's view of himself, Zelig at the ramparts ('I have been able to meet many interesting people and observe fascinating events, partly by being unobtrusive'), while the main title defines the volume's readers, who are at all points barred admission to Wills's complex interior. Instead, 'Outside Looking In' functions like an erudite jukebox, summoning amusing, tragic and telling anecdotes at a rapid clip, each well told, all enriching our understanding of postwar America's politics, passions and pieties."
- Dirda on Leopardi's Canti: "What finally makes Leopardi so appealing a poet is his combination of a classical intelligence coupled with a hypersensitivity to his own inner self and a sometimes enraptured, sometimes acerbic style.... Over the past half-century American readers have embraced the translated poetry of Rilke, Cavafy, Neruda and Akhmatova. Thanks to Jonathan Galassi's edition of the 'Canti,' it's Leopardi's turn now."
Los Angeles Times:
- Susan Salter Reynolds on The Memory Chalet by Tony Judt: "It is easy to forget, reading this memoir, that Judt is reconstructing his past even as he lies immobilized in a hospital bed. All the pieces move: glittering, tingling chapters are rich in smells and sights and sounds and movement.... It's enough to renew a reader's faith in a writer's ability to cut a path to immortality."
- John Lippman on Prejudices: The Complete Series by H.L. Mencken: "Reading one or two of Menken's reviews and essays is the kind of thing that you want to take, like a restorative, before bedtime, to counter the ill writing and easy thinking that daily passes before our eyes.... [W]hen it comes to cutting down just about any saint of American literature with his type keys, be it Robert Frost or Ralph Waldo Emerson, Mencken is the father of the modern literary exercise known as the 'hatchet job.'"
Wall Street Journal:
- Lionel Shriver on Selected Stories by William Trevor: "Mr. Trevor's stories are sad but rarely depressing. They leave one marveling at the astonishing variety of other people's private, singular disappointments.... Mr. Trevor's craft is now so refined that the writing itself vanishes, as if his stories were composed in disappearing ink. Line after translucent line gives way to the characters that the words describe, and he never seems to invite his reader to admire the artistry of the text. Mr. Trevor is masterly: secretly so, shyly so, generously so. He's like a host who leaves a groaning board for his guests and then slips quietly out the door of his own party."
- Edward Kosner on Reading Jackie by William Kuhn and Jackie as Editor by Greg Lawrence: "William Kuhn's 'Reading Jackie' and Greg Lawrence's 'Jackie as Editor' are seemingly the same book""chronological accounts of her 19-year career at the publishers Viking and Doubleday""but they are actually very different. Mr. Kuhn's is heavy on hagiography and analysis, Mr. Lawrence's is an energetically reported and crisply written story of a whip-smart, middle-age working woman who marshaled wits, charm, steely will and, of course, unmatched connections to make a new life for herself."
Globe and Mail:
- Brad Mackay on X'ed Out by Charles Burns: "In a culture that thrives on immediacy (including illegal torrents of comics), perhaps he's forcing his readers to reconnect with the unknowable "" to not only confront it, but to embrace it as an integral part of the reading experience. Sure, it's a leap of faith. But we're talking about a master of modern horror comics here. If we were once more than willing to wait a few years to read the follow-up to The Secret of the Unicorn, why can't we cool our collective jets to see what Burns has up his trusty sleeves? It's the least we can do."
- Charlotte Gray on Atlantic by Simon Winchester: "Fascinating information, but how could the acclaimed British author integrate these disparate details into a coherent narrative? The challenge would have defeated a less accomplished writer. But this is Winchester's 20th book, and in previous works such as Krakatoa, A Crack in the Edge of the World and The Professor and the Madman, he has honed his skills as a writer who makes science accessible and brings long-forgotten people back to life. A born storyteller, he wears his erudition lightly and knows how to link past and present."
The Guardian:
- Michael Faber on Tree of Codes by Jonathan Safran Foer: "[T]he book's lack of a tough shell makes it seem all the more vulnerable to mutilation. Just one rake of the fingers would destroy it. Those booksellers brave enough to stock it will no doubt be chewing their lower lips in stress whenever a customer leafs through its delicate web of pages. Yet, knowing Bruno Schulz's life story, there is poignancy in this. His oeuvre, which should have been large, was hacked down to modest size by tragic misfortune: his murder by the Nazis, followed by the loss of hundreds of his paintings, drawings and manuscripts. The idea of The Street of Crocodiles surviving in disguise, chopped to within an inch of its life but still clinging to its soul, strikes me as a bittersweet irony, an oddly fitting homage. It has also given rise to the most potent work of art that Jonathan Safran Foer has yet produced."
- Alison Flood on 1222 by Anne Holt (available from Amazon.co.uk): "The latest in the swarm of Scandinavian thrillers to hit our shores in the wake of Stieg Larsson and Henning Mankell, it is distinctly less grisly than its predecessors, preferring to focus on the puzzle rather than the murders, and leading up to a wonderfully Poirot-esque I've-figured-it-all-out speech from Hanne.... It might lack the myriad twists and turns of Christie at her best, but 1222 is a splendidly chilling read this icy December."
The New Yorker:
- Still working through last week's "World Changers" double issue, which includes, among other things, a vintage George Saunders story, "Escape from Spiderhead": "I mean, I had been on some crazy-ass Project Teams in my time, such as one where the drip had something in it that made hearing music exquisite, and hence when some Shostakovich was piped in actual bats seemed to circle my Domain, or the one where my legs became totally numb and yet I found I could still stand fifteen straight hours at a fake cash register, miraculously suddenly able to do extremely hard long-division problems in my mind. But of all my crazy-ass Project Teams this was by far the most crazy-assed."

Apple drops patent lawsuit against Samsung Galaxy S III Mini
Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) has agreed to drop the new Samsung Galaxy S III Mini from its patent litigation against Samsung in exchange for the Korean electronics maker's commitment not to sell the Mini in the United States, according to a report by Reuters.
In November, Apple petitioned the court to add the Mini and other Samsung products to its patent litigation. However, the Mini patents Apple is challenging are different from the ones included in the lawsuit that yielded Apple a $1 billion verdict earlier this year, a verdict that Samsung is challenging.
Samsung began offering the Mini in Europe earlier this year as a competitor to the iPhone 5 and asserted that it was not selling the Mini in the U.S., although Apple's attorneys were able to purchase Minis from Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) and have them delivered in the U.S., according to the report.
Based on Samsung's statement that it is not "making, selling, offering to sell or importing the Galaxy S III Mini in the United States," Apple agreed to withdraw its patent lawsuit against the Mini "so long as the current withdrawal will not prejudice Apple's ability later to accuse the Galaxy S III Mini if the factual circumstances change," it said.
Apple and other mobile device manufacturers have been diverting resources from research and development to fight numerous patent wars in court.
According to a Stanford University study, $20 billion has been spent on patent litigation and patent purchases in the last two years. In addition, patent-related spending by Apple and Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) exceeded their R&D spending last year, according to public filings cited by the New York Times.
Spending on R&D could be targeted at innovative products for the enterprise mobility market, but instead they are being squandered on lawyers and court fees.

Need help choosing hardware. 25" WildThing - first boat
I started on my first RC boat scratch build a few days ago and I am to the point where I need to mount my hardware. It is a 24.5" WildThing constructed from balsa that will eventually be fiberglassed.
I am building this to try out RC boating, so I want it to be somewhat fast but it doesn't need to be a champion racer. I am thinking about 30-40mph. I also don't want to dump a ton of money into the electronics.
I plan to get this HobbyKing 50A watercooled ESC. When it comes to the motor, I don't know where to start! This Turnigy AquaStar 3520 looks like it'd be good, but I don't know what I should be looking for as far as KV goes. NOTE: I have lots of experience with electric planes so I know the basics but I don't know how to choose a boat motor and boat prop.
Any recommendations for a 50A motor and prop setup for a 25" V hull?

I have the plans saved on my computer and I'm away now but I can access them later for ya. You can buy the official plans online if you search for Wild Thing plans. The plans I use were made from a CAD model but they worked well. It's a pretty easy and fun build! I cut out all the pieces from about $15 of balsa sheets.

Do you have experience with RC boats and could help with my motor situation? Does any one have any tips picking a motor and prop?

I have experience but its the kind of experience that would only allow me to tell you what not to buy haha. A set up i tried was a 5900Kv motor on 3S with a 160A ESC. It was way too high RPM and just broke everything and in the end everything would just overheat after 10 seconds. You should generally keep your RPM at 30000. The motor you were looking at is suggested 4S which would put it at about 25000RPM which is a decent speed. For a propeller for that motor i'd say a diameter of 30mm and 2 or 3 blades. I'd get a double check on my information though. Hope it helped a little bit at least =)
To make sense of the KV you take the KV rating which in the case of that motor is 1700. You then multiply that by the voltage of the battery which with a 4S is 14.8V. This puts the RPM at 1700 x 14.8 = 25160. This is the RPM without load though and will be lower when propped.
I would suggest a 2-3s setup
2s = 3300-3700kv motor
3s = 2500-2800kv motor
I would go for a setup like this:
Turnigy 60a ESC http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s..._Boat_ESC.html
Motor: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s..._Inrunner.html
One thing im unsure about, is if the hull can handle 30-40mph or not

For a boat that length you want the prop 2.5" from the transom,
On mine which I ran on a .15 nitro engine the centre of the stuffing tube was 1/4" from the bottom, no offset. If I put that boat back on the water I think I'd raise the stuffing tube 1/8".
Used a cheap Chinese 3-3/4" long rudder worked good enough.
The turnfin I used was 3/4" wide x 1" exposed beneath the mount, 90 degrees to the bottom and as far out as you can mount it. I only used the one on the right side as I really only turn right!
The prop I was running on a .15 converted rc car engine was a x440 with the tongue removed and a little bit of a back cut.
I have a Lehner basic XL which is a 3650 motor 4200 kv I've been toying with installing, probably run a pair of 2s 5000mah packs in parallel. As you know as voltage goes down amp draw goes up. I'll use a 180 or 200 amp esc if I try it, I know exactly what amperage my SV 27 pulls on 4s, If I double those numbers it puts me too close to the limits of a 120 amp esc for sustained running. For the price difference it's not worth a stinky boat. (My 29" P-spec mono race boat reeks from a blown up esc!)
I think I'll be pulling 90-100 amps solid, spikes will be 150-160 amps. That's pretty much double the SV's numbers. It's a little smaller at 25" but the design of the Wildthing can handle much more speed than the SV hull, I ran it a number of times against the electric SV's and it was faster and handled much better. I can probably run a bigger prop than I did on nitro but the boat will weigh more.
HMMM all I need is a 1/8-.150 collet, motor mount and an esc.......

Thanks guys. Bostong, I was actually just looking at that second motor there. I have lots of 3s batteries already and it is already hooked up for cooling (not sure how necessary the air circulation is though). I'll probably go with that motor and HK's 50A boat esc... I'm sure it won't live up to the quality of other ESCs but it's half the price.
What factors would prevent the hull from handling 30-40mph? Strength or shape/design?
I've never had an RC boat so I don't know exactly what 40mph feels like so I guess I am aiming for it to just be relatively "fast" and impress me :P

Sibe, thanks for the info about prop placement! I hadn't put much thought into that. Just curious about why 2.5" from the transom. Does that give the most efficiency? And then is that subsurface drive or surface drive?
Maybe others with more scratch build experience can chip in
Saving 20 bucs on ESC might not be worth it

That motor says 40 amps and the ESC is 50 so I feel safe there but better quality is always better... If the motor is water cooled, can I run more amps through it than they suggest or is that figured in?

Hi Ham,
For a fast electric, you aim at 30.000 rpm under load and choose your Voltage and motor accordingly.
Bostong made some good suggestions, getting you in the low rpm segment of the fast boats (25000 rpm under load).
This in turn needs a rather large prop to reach your target speed, where 40 mph is doable, but will need some experience in setting up and dialing in a boat, not to mention light chop at the most to avoid nasty flips.
A big prop has a lot of propwalk, which needs to be counteracted by installing the drivetrain offcenter to the right by 4-5 mm.
As it's your first fast boat, I'd settle for somewhat less topspeed, which greatly improves the handling.
While you're at it, consider building your Wildthing with a floodchamber.
You have no idea how relaxing it is to be able to run your boat full throttle and not worry about what to do when you flip it.
With a foodchamber it'll selfright.
If you go for the second motor, the watercooled outrunner, keep in mind a 50A ESC is too small, the spikes getting out of the hole and accelerating out of a corner will be often more than twice the stated max Amp.
Regards, Jan.

I thought I would skip the floodchamber at first but I am doing this boat as a fun challenge so I think I better give it a shot. You're right, it'll also make it more relaxing to run.
Do you have any prop suggestions Pompebled?
Also wondering what size rudder I need
If it was me, I would do a setup kinda like this, only leaving out the trim tabs. (Only the outside hardware)
You can find the rudder under the "hardware" section - its the 3 inch rudder.

Cee Lo Green Headlines Macy's Glamorama 2011 In Chicago: RTVM Was There!
August 16, 2011 03:01 PM by Kristin Watson
The Voice's Cee Lo Green made a stop in Chicago August 12 with Far East Movement to headline one of four stops on Macy's Passport Presents Glamorama 2011 tour — and Reality TV Magazine was there to catch all the action. Read on to find out what Cee Lo Green and Far East Movement had to say about the night of fierce fashion and performances for a cause…
Cee Lo Green headlined this year's Chicago stop on Macy's Passport Presents Glamorama tour with Far East Movement. The night of fierce fashion and performances for one fantastic cause was held at the famed Chicago Theater, minutes from Macy's on State St.
Macy's has been raising awareness and funds for the fight against childhood illness, cancer, and HIV/AIDS for 13 years and this year's ARTrageous theme benefited the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana — more specifically, 12-year-old Alisha Van Fosson.
Reality TV Magazine was on hand to find out first hand how important this night was to the artists and people who make it all happen.
So, why the ARTrageous theme for this year's event? "Over the years we've been seeing how art and fashion really are converging and have been becoming one," Martine Reardon, executive VP of marketing and advertisement for Macy's explained.
One person who knows all about using fashion to make a point is Cee Lo Green. "A fashion statement speaks just as loud. It's an extension of the artistic vision and endeavor," Cee Lo Green told us.
Cee Lo Green showed up ready to rock out on the Chicago Theater stage dressed in a silk pink shirt, looking tame compared to his normal look. So, is the outrageous garb Cee Lo usually rocks the real Cee Lo Green? "Everything is real, cause I mean, mostly its surreal everything I wear. I'm a liberal," he said.
When asked if he'd ever work with anyone with a better wardrobe than him, he challenged reporters to, "find them first."
Far East Movement was also in the house to give their own take on mixing their craft with fashion. "When it comes to matching up fashion and music, whether it be from our videos or our own photo shoots that we conduct ourselves, it's like we close our eyes and say, 'how does the music look,' and then we just create it."
The LA scene has certainly influenced the way they choose to express themselves. "We all have our own style. Essentially nothing is planned, it's more whatever we have access to. Luckily we live in downtown LA, in a neighborhood that's really packed full of some really cool designers and there's a lot of access, so it's all at our finger tips," Far East Movement told us.
Just because the group has become known for their put-together stage-style doesn't mean it's their official off-stage look. "When it comes to just every day life and what we choose to wear it's just pure, relaxed style," the group revealed.
Their "pure, relaxed style" certainly takes a beating, courtesy of their waistlines, when they hit the city of Chicago. The band admitted, "Well, we're here in Chicago, for the record, one thing about here is the food out here is some of the best in the world. We always gain a little weight. From the deep-dish pizza, to the Italian beef sandwiches, to the late night at Maxwells, we go all in when it comes to food out here."
Macy's Glamorama threw a big party featuring an intense fashion show displaying the hottest styles from favorites like Marc Jacobs. With all the money going to such a good cause like the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana and kids like Alisha Van Fosson, it was certainly an emotional night for everyone.
In regards to what moves Martine Reardon, she told us, "There are many moments but there's that one moment when we run the video of the child that we are highlighting at each of the shows, and as much as I like to think I'm a very strong, sturdy, powerful woman, I break down."
For Far East Movement, being a part of a night that puts them in the role model bracket is a concept the humble band is getting used to. "It's amazing, but it's incredible to hear. We always think we have so much more groundwork to lie down for anyone to consider us an inspiration, but it's cool," they told us.
They added, "That's something that we want to be, that we aim to be. So, we teach workshops called 4 C The Power, where we go in a and teach kids that don't really have the arts in there school districts or the funding how to write songs and stuff."
For Macy's, its Glamorama 2011 Chicago stop was a huge success. The mix of fashion, art and performance made us stop and take notice while giving to a great cause. Cee Lo Green and Far East Movement couldn't have been more gracious.
For Alisha Van Fosson (pictured above), who carried her dress around until "I could find something that went with it," the night was much more. For her, it was a "once in a lifetime chance."

While We're Waiting serves as the early morning gathering of WFNY-esque information for your viewing pleasure. Have something you think we should see? Send it to our tips email in the sidebar.
Welcome back, Brooks: "The city has come alive since I left. Downtown has blown up with the newish arena entertainment district and the campus' bar scene, which flatlined in the '90s, is now at least somewhat-representative of a school OSU's size. But flip on radio/TV and you'll find out in five seconds people's priorities haven't changed. […] Got into the hotel room and turned on local NBC 4, and the lead story on Thursday's night newscast was, yep, Buckeyes v. Trojans." [SportsbyBrooks]
Given that I do all of my "photoshopping" in MS Paint, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention this site regardless of rooting interest. [DatUofMPaintBlog]
Not sure I like that upsloping blue line: "Now that I've explored shot types at the team level, it's time to move on to a single player. What better player to look at than the league's MVP, LeBron James? Using the play-by-play data at BasketballValue, I will explore how James changes his style of attack as the game progresses, and whether or not he optimizes his shot selection." [Hardwood Paroxysm]
The Cavaliers could play a regular season game in the Rowdy [Stepien Rules]
"The lesson for young athletes — specifically for Pryor — is to start emulating Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods, who learned long ago not to take a stand for anything or speak up on anyone's behalf for fear of alienating those with dissenting opinions." [Bud Shaw/Plain Dealer]
LeBron James' interview with NPR's Terry Gross [Cleveland Frowns]
And finally, NLN previewing Browns/Vikings [No Logo Needed]
And a quick note: We have this here site to provide us with an outlet to discuss our passion, and provide all of you with thoughts that tend do differ from others you may find elsewhere. But nothing we can say will ever provide enough escape from the reality that went down in New York city on this day eight years ago. Fortunately, none of my family nor close friends were lost in the attacks. Unfortunately, I know that this is not that case for everyone. For all of you, I think I can safely speak for the rest of WFNY when I say that our thoughts and prayers go out to you. I know that this day will never be easy to accept, no matter how much time passes. But know that you are not alone in your grieving.

Channeling My Energy ....
September 28, 2007 - Phyllis Sigal
It's that time again when my time is not my own.
No, the kids aren't moving back home. It's Fall Television Season.
It's when new shows are introduced and old shows come around again, with new characters, new plots, new evenings, new time slots.
It's when — I'm sheepishly admitting — I have to be home by 9 p.m. on Thursdays to watch "Grey's Anatomy." (I loved the first episode. Once a week is just not enough for that show! I have been known to watch it Thursday at 9 p.m., then catch the same show again Friday at 8 p.m.)
My family is addicted to "Heroes," but it was on opposite of "24" and therefore I never got hooked on that one. But "24" doesn't start for a while, so I'm vulnerable to yet another show.
"Desperate Housewives" has come and gone from my life, but now I'm back to it, having watched a few reruns over the summer to reconnect me to the characters and their lives once again.
And "Grey's" has a spin-off ... "Private Practice" featuring Dr. Addison Montgomery. And then there's "Lost" — another one I avoided for a few seasons until my kids finally got me hooked. It's also not back on for a while.
I try to only allow myself three shows that I "have" to watch. And I don't believe in taping and watching later — it never happens. And TiVo? Well, even if I had it, I'd never be able to figure it out. I can't even turn the television on in our basement — there are three remote control switchers and I have no idea how they all work. Well, I can turn the TV on. I just can't get it to do anything beyond that.
So, if I pick up a new show, say "Private Practice," I'll need to let another go from my life. My kids usually tell me to ditch "American Idol." Then there's "House," which I'll watch from time to time ... and "Monk" (new episodes return in January) ... and I think that's it. Well, sometimes I'll catch "The Apprentice" ...
What's the solution? Just turn it off and pick up a good book.
Hey, what's everybody reading .... and watching?

StrokeCoach with Surge Rate
The StrokeCoach has joined the 21st Century! The new StrokeCoach with Surge Rate will work in any boat - shell, dragon boat, canoe or kayak to give you a perfect stroke rate every time with no harness or seat magnet! Through the use of an accelerometer, this new innovative unit can tell you the stroke rate for the boat in any position. This unit is waterproof so you could even rest it on the floor of the boat between your feet! Have a team boat? No problem! The StrokeCoach with Surge Rate will still give you an accurate stroke rate each and every time! Tested by our team of rowers and paddlers and proven to possibly be the best addition to the NK line ever.
The unit comes with batteries, a carry pouch, a lanyard, your color choice of protective bumper and a mounting system. The mounting system consists of a mount and an adjustable strap system that allows you to strap it on anywhere - or you can still use the traditional T or A bracket mounting systems. We've added in a backlight so no more flashlights during those early morning rows.

Meet: lauren + clint
We love what we do. Chatting over coffee hearing the story of how a couple first met, seeing the excitement in their eyes, capturing the most important day of their lives, and being able to express ourselves through art daily.
Our story starts as high school friends, a long distance relationship from Dallas to Los Angeles, cell phone bills larger than our car payments, an engagement ring in the snow flakes at Rockefeller Center, a short four-month engagement and we're currently in the happiest ever after.
We have invested in your wedding with cameras used in tv shows like House. Lauren brings years of experience from tv shows like A Baby Story and Bridezillas. Your wedding film is shot with Canon, edited with Final Cut, and delivered on DVD or Blu-Ray.
We would be honored to be a part of your special day.

Just as resets can crash computers, the U.S.-Russian 'reset' has crashed relation between Washington and Moscow.
In the end, the U.S./Russia reset was overloaded by the challenges posed by the so-called 'Arab Spring',Vladmir Putin's return to the Kremlin, and his institution of a soft, selective crackdown on some Russian opposition elements.
Moscow has given up on integration with the West. The reset was the last gasp in the mid- to long-term of post-Cold War aspirations for such integration. For the foreseeable future – the rule of Putin and perhaps his successor – Russia will seek to establish its place as one of several global powers in a multipolar world playing an important role in both the East and the West.
This does not mean Russia will be antagonistic towards the West and the United States or that the dream of a democratic Russia is dead. It does mean, however, that Russia will be guided by its national interests and those will at times run counter to the interests of Washington.
There will be some opportunities for Presidents Barack Obama and Vladimir Putin to establish U.S.-Russian cooperation, but they will be confined largely to general threats to global stability. Moreover, there are several issues over which relations could devolve into confrontation. Therefore, the task for at least the next four years will be to reduce and manage tensions so the relationship does not meltdown entirely.
The Need to Back Away
The first task is to lower the temperature in relations by continuing dialogue and stepping back from some of the politically charged words that, in part, were driven by the confluence of presidential campaigns in both countries.
On the U.S. side, the Obama Administration could reasonably submit to Congress an amendment to the Magnitsky law that would extend its jurisdiction to cover human rights violators "in all countries" per the Senate version of the bill voted down earlier. There is no reason to single out Russia on human rights.
Congress can rest assured, for example, that members would prefer a Russian prison to a Chinese, Saudi, Egyptian or Uzbek prison. U.S. concerns about Russian authoritarianism should be vocalized less, and not more often than they are addressed to these more harsh human rights violators just mentioned. In return, Moscow might begin to negotiate joint mechanisms to monitor and control U.S. adoption of Russian children and once these are in place amend or repeal Russia's 'anti-Magnitskii' Dima Yakovlev Law that bans such adoptions. If the temperature is lowered, more movement on the main agenda issues might be possible.
In addition, the two sides should agree to 'reset' the U.S.-Russian Presidential Bilateral Commission by rescinding the U.S. withdrawal from the Civil Society Working Group and Russia's withdrawal from the Counter-Narcotics Working Group. These petty tit-for-tat withdrawals will have only negative consequences for both sides. The U.S. will lose limited leverage, albeit, on issues of Russian democracy and civil society-building with Russian officials, and both sides' interests will suffer from abandoning cooperation that led to two joint counter-narcotics raids in Afghanistan in 2010 and 2011, respectively.
The larger issue in U.S./Russia relations is nuclear arms and missile defense talks. Here matters stand at a post-Cold War low point, and progress will be difficult and is unlikely. New START nuclear arms reduction treaty stipulates that by 2018 the two nuclear superpowers cut their arsenals to 1,550 deployed warheads. In December 2011 then Russian president Dmitry Medvedev threatened that Russia would abandon the New START treaty––if the U.S. begins to deploy the planned anti-missile defense system (AMD) in Europe. Other roadblocks to a new strategic arms agreement include Russian demands for a legally binding document that would pledge the U.S. not to deploy the AMD system against Russia and for a conventional arms agreement covering weapons and troops in Europe be concluded before nuclear arms talks. For its part, the U.S. wants to include theater-scale and tactical nuclear missiles in any talks on strategic intercontinental ballistic missiles.
Given this multi-layered impasse, the U.S. administration should pursue perhaps the only way out - following up on the Lisbon agreement in which Russia pledged to pursue possible cooperation on an AMD system. This would delay deployment in Europe and allow nuclear arms talks to proceed more smoothly.
At the same time, compromise in nuclear weapons talks could be achieved by including both 'shelved' or disabled U.S. missiles and sub-strategic and tactical missiles, of which Russia has a preponderance, in addition to the strategic inter-continental missiles for which New START achieved a relative balance of power.
In lieu of progress, a crisis leading to a new U.S.-Russian arms race could ensue. U.S. AMD deployment and failure to achieve arms reduction could prompt Russia to carry through on its threat to deploy short-range nuclear missiles targeting the AMD system's components based in NATO countries.
Moscow and Washington will then have the moral high ground to lead the non-proliferation effort begun at the May 2010 Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons Treaty (NPT) review conference where the U.S. and Russia signed onto an action plan with the other nuclear powers -- the United Kingdom, France and China -- for dialogue on verification, transparency, and nuclear weapons policy issues.
This process could lead to multilateral nuclear arms control, once the U.S. and Russia cut their 90 percent share of the the world's nuclear weapons. It also might include a pledge by all the nuclear powers to do everything possible, including military pre-emption as a last resort, to ensure that the Middle East and Persian Gulf regions remain free of nuclear weapons and unsecured chemical weapons (for example, in Syria). Israel (and North Africa) might also be brought into the nuclear non-proliferation process in exchange for a defense guarantees either from NATO or all the great powers, including the U.S., Russia, and Europe.
Trade and Investment
One way to build the relationship over the long-term is to strengthen trade and investment. According to U.S. Ambassador Michael McFaul, U.S.-Russian bilateral trade likely broke the $10 billion mark in 2012 for the first time. This is something to build on both in terms of economic relations but also influence on Russia's development through increased contacts with the U.S. businesses. Within the limits created by Russia's weak rule of law, the Obama Administration should do everything within its power to expand trade with, and investment in Russia.

In the Middle East, the Sunni Arab revolutions pose a greater and more direct threat to Russia than the U.S. This, and the fate of at least one loyal Russian arms buyer, explains Moscow's reservations, indeed deep concern regarding the revolutions in Egypt, Libya, and Syria.
Russia's 'Caucasus Emirate' mujahedin, who have carried out some 2,400 attacks since its founding in October 2007 alone, including 47 suicide bombings, could benefit greatly from these revolutions.
The U.S. and the West, by contrast, have demonstrated considerable naivete`, supporting rebels about whom little was known. What little was known revealed not inconsiderable Islamist and Jihadist elements among them, which will have grave implications for the main U.S. ally in the region – Israel. Washington should wake up to these dangers, something that would facilitate Western-Russian cooperation in preventing the Syrian civil war from engulfing the region––and in dealing with the threat of Damascus's chemical weapons falling into the rebels' hands.
State Soveriegnty Versus Humanitarian Interventionism in Syria
Putin is intent on limiting U.S. and Western interference in Russian politics. In foreign policy terms, this means constraining Western humanitarian interventionism and, as represented by U.S. involvement in some of the color revolutions, American revolutionism. Russians' experience with revolutions in the 20th century has left them with a strong distaste for political instability and revolutionary political transformations.
Therefore, Moscow will also attempt to use a concert of multiple powers to limit humanitarian interventions designed first and foremost to achieve regime change.
Today, this issue is most at the fore in the Syrian civil war. The West has been harshly critical of Moscow's insistence that Syrians alone––and not outsiders resolve the issue of regime change.
Moscow's 'continued supply of weapons to the Assad regime,' as Western critics like to emphasize, is limited to air defense systems and spare parts for air radar systems under contracts signed before the crisis. The Syrian rebels have no air power, so these supplies are irrelevant to the conflict.
Moscow's call for all sides – Russia, China and even Iran, on the one hand, and the rebels, the West and Sunni Arab powers, on the other – to pressure the sides to negotiate a cessation of hostilities and mechanisms towards a new, stable regime, has borne some fruit: the June 2012 Geneva Communique.
The Action Group for Syria signatories – the UN Security Council's five permenant members plus Turkey, the EU, and the Arab League – agreed to push the sides towards talks and establishing an interim regime that would include representatives of both the regime and opposition.
If the Communique remains an empty letter, civilians will continue to suffer in what could become an inter-communal if not region-wide conflagration.
There is even the danger that Moscow might seek to intervene to rescue a fleeing Assad and his Shiite Alawite minority regime from a bloodbath at the hands of radical Islamists and jihadists and secular opposition forces enraged by the ravages of war and the Syrian army. The Alawites' western stronghold on the Mediterranean Sea hosts the small Russian Navy's re-fueling station at Tartus and its some 50 Russian military personnel. Moreover, there are thousands of Russian nationals living in Syria. Russian forces could be drawn into combat in an effort to evacuate its nationals and protect fleeing regime elements and Alawite civilians.
Washington and Moscow would do well to undertake substantive steps towards realizing the potential of the Action Group.
For its part, Moscow might threaten reducing or terminating its supply of spare parts, air defense systems, and Syrian currency to pressure Assad to sit down at the table.
To be sure, Moscow's leverage is limited on its own. However, Moscow could use its leverage with Teheran (once it becomes clear even there that Assad is finished) to pressure it into convincing Assad that is time to go.
Washington could pressure Qatar and Saudi Arabia to threaten reducing weapons supplies to the rebels. Inducements might include efforts by Moscow to secure a refuge country for Assad (perhaps Iran) and guarantees that the Alawite minority will not be persecuted under a future government. Western and Arab inducements might include promises of economic assistance for reconstruction to a regime that allows Assad to leave with his life and protects the rights of all ethnic and confessional groups.
Adjusting the Asia Pivot
The Obama Administration engaged a reinvigorated focus on foreign and security policy in the Asia-Pacific region. Russia did the same, marked by its hosting the Asia Pacific Economic Summit in Vladivostok and environs last September. Given this and some common interests that the three major powers in Asia – the U.S., China, and Russia have – non-proliferation, counter-terrorism, trade, and economic stability and growth – the U.S. would do well to inititiate a trilateral or perhaps multilateral forum that includes them. Such an initiative would pick up on China's new and historically unprecedented interest in playing a role in defining a global security architecture and Russia's desire to constitute a major pole in such a multipolar architecture.
In addition, such an initative might mitigate the growing impetus for Sino-Russian security cooperation in Asia sans the U.S. This trend was evident in the pronouncements surrounding Russian Security Council Secretary and former FSB Chairman Nikolai Patrushev's visit to Beijing in early January and was sparked in part by Washington's 'Asia pivot,' in particular plans for anti-missile defense in Asia. A trilateral process to probe some cooperation could begin with the creation of a trilateral security summit, permanent forum, and working group(s) to cut off potential crises. To entice Putin and avoid a dispute over the locus between the two leading powers, the founding summit could be held in Vladivostok.
Eurasia is one sphere where U.S.-Russian relations could be on the upswing, if handled carefully. As the U.S. remains occupied with the Muslim world and its Asia pivot, it is less likely to get involved in regime change adventures or further NATO expansion in Russia's backyard. Meanwhile, the new regime in Georgia is seeking a rapprochement with Moscow, relieving one of the sore points in U.S.-Russian relations.
However, Azerbaijan is becoming a potential point of instability in the Transcaucasus. The North Caucasus mujahedin of the Caucasus Emirate have Baku in its crosshairs, as evidence by its massive Mumbai-style terrorism plot uncovered in April 2012.
Moreover, Iran used its Shiite connection to infiltrate and carry out a terrorist attack against Israeli targets last year as well. At the same time, the Nagorno- Karabagh remains unresolved and crossborder incidents between Azerbaijan and Armenian troops have been growing in number during recent months. Although there are limited prospects for cooperation on the first two issues, Washington and Moscow should use their respective leverage in Baku and Yerevan to push for more serious negotiations on Nagorno-Karabagh if only to help contain tensions and avoid an outbreak of fighting in an already instable part of the world.
Another locus where American, Russian, and perhaps Chinese cooperation could be achieved and fruitful is helping to secure Central Asia after the 2014 U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, given the possible if not likely return of the Taliban to power. Joint efforts should continue in: developing and supporting the Afghan army and anti-narcotics police, cutting off narcotics transport routes from AfPak through Central Asia, and strengthening Central Asia's counter-terrorism and counter-narcotics capacity.
Kazakhstan's call for the U.S. to develop a relationship with the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), led by Russia and China and including most Central Asian states, is good advice. Right now SCO is the only regional security structure capable of shoring up the fight against jihadism once the U.S. and NATO withdrawal is complete. NATO-SCO cooperation would enhance the regional security architecture for coordinating counter-terrorism and counter-narcotics efforts in Central and South Asia while retaining an American voice in the region.
Finally, U.S.-Russian counter-terrorism cooperation should continue in general by maintaining intelligence sharing, joint training maneuvers, and even joint operations if necessary. A key building block of such cooperation has been exemplary cooperation in fighting the Taliban and Al Qa`ida (AQ) in Afghanistan. In addition to joint counter-narcotics ops, Russia expanded the Northern Distribution Route, including a new NATO transit point in Ulyanovsk, to help supply NATO and U.S. troops in Afghanistan. Unfortunately, with the impending Afghan withdrawal, this pillar of U.S.-Russian counter-terrorism activity and of the 'reset in general will be removed. Both sides should find ways to continue this joint activity, which the U.S. can limit given the less than sterling human rights records of Russian military, police, and intelligence organs. However, one possible long-term side benefit of such Western-Russian cooperation can be some democratization of those organs.
To conclude, the task is to prevent a further downturn in U.S.-Russian relations by focusing on those issues where common interests provide some low hanging fruit to pick. This can allow both sides to avoid or at least limit conflicts over the high hanging fruit such as Syria, missile defense, and Russian/Eurasian democratization.

The word is out. High school students have way too little knowledge of money management, savings, investments, income, and spending. Although the experts say that kids as young as three years old can grasp the concept of money, two-thirds of today's teens say they could use more lessons in personal finance. Just ahead are dozens of choices and decisions that, if made incorrectly, can lead to costly mistakes. Girls, in particular, have to focus more on money matters.

Real Housewives of New Jersey Flashback: Teresa Giudice and Dina Manzo Old-School Style (PHOTO)
Real Housewives of New Jersey stars Teresa Giudice and Dina Manzo's friendship definitely goes way back. And to prove it, we're getting to see an amazing throwback pic of the two of them hanging out together.
On April 8, Teresa posted a pic from years ago of herself posing with three friends, including a dark-haired Dina. "Who is the girl next to my with the brown hair???" Teresa captions the pic, referring to Dina.
This shot is seriously awesome, since it proves that the ladies have always been gorgeous. And it's crazy to realize how much Dina's hair has changed over the years.
Above all, we love this pic because it confirms how close Dina and Teresa's friendship really is. All four ladies look truly happy in this pic, and it's great to know that Dina and Teresa continue to have each other's backs.
Just last month, Dina posted a photo from her birthday dinner, and Teresa was among the attendees. "One of several bday dinners last night with two of my favs," Dina captioned the pic of herself with two friends, one of whom was Teresa.
Did you recognize Dina in this throwback pic? And are you surprised that Dina and Teresa's friendship continues to endure?

A two-tire gamble for Denny Hamlin paid off with his first NASCAR Nextel Cup victory of the season Sunday at New Hampshire International Speedway.
Hamlin, last year's top rookie, is second in the season points, but he's been frustrated this season, leading laps and contending without being able to take a checkered flag in the first 16 races.
It appeared he would fall short again this time, with Martin Truex, Junior, series points leader Jeff Gordon and Truex's teammate, Dale Earnhardt, Junior, all running ahead of Hamlin late in the race.
But the leaders made their final scheduled pit stops on lap 255 during a caution period and Hamlin was the only one of the quartet to take two fresh tires instead of four.
He vaulted from fourth to first and stayed out front to the end of the Lenox Tools 300.

As eight teams prepare to do battle at the National Collegiate Women's Water Polo Championships May 10-12 at Harvard University's Blodgett Pool in Boston, Massachusetts, Swimming World thought it would be a good time to look back at the championship season and highlight some of the tournament all-star teams that have been chosen so far.
Six of the eight teams–UCLA, Iona, Pomona-Pitzer, Princeton, USC and Stanford–are repeat performers from last year's championship. Stanford returns as the double defending champion, and is determined to prove their No. 2 seeding wrong. UC San Diego last competed in 2011 and Hawai'i-making its first-ever appearance as a member of the Big West Conference in their initial season of play–hasn't been to the top eight since 2009.
Big West Conference
Next season, Hawai'i will lose the services of senior attacker Monica Eggens, who was named the Big West Tournament MVP. She leaves having scored 84 goals during the regular season and has 43 assists and 50 steals.
Her five goals in the championship match led the Rainbow Wahine to its first-ever Big West title over four-time defending champion UC Irvine. UC Irvine had been the only school to hold the championship title since the sport was started in the Big West Conference in 2009.
Final standings in the Big West Conference:
Hawaii 7-1 (21-9 overall)
UC Irvine 6-2 (21-9)
Cal State Long Beach 5-3 (25-7)
San Diego State 5-3 (22-11)
Cal State Northridge 4-4 (23-12)
UC Santa Barbara 2-6 (20-15)
UC Davis 2-6 (14-17)
Pacific 1-7 (16-16)
Collegiate Water Polo Association
The Princeton Tigers earned their second straight trip to the national championships with their 7-5 victory over the Michigan Wolverine squad. Two Princeton athletes received individual recognition: junior Katie Rigler was named tournament MVP; and Ashleigh Johnson, the team's goalie, was recognized as the Rookie of the Tournament. Matt Anderson, Michigan's coach, was given the Doc Hunkler Coach of the Tournament award.

Does Gilenya need a washout period ?
Hi all -
Started looking into Gilenya about two months ago. Finally after a bunch of paperwork, appeals, etc. they have determined that I can apply for Financial Assistance as my insurance only pays $ 2,000/yr. for prescrips.
So, my question is if there is a washout period where you have to stop the med you are currently taking (Copaxone) for a period of time before you can start Gilenya ?
Want to be thinking about this if I get approved.
Thank you !

Thank you - hoping someone else will respond on this.
Ahhh - The washout.
I was told 3 different things.
Dx 4/02Brain & spinal lesionsCurrent DMD: Betaseron (again)
- By the drug company: 4 month washout
- By my Neuro: Her practice was 3 month washout
- By my MS NP because I was in an active period: We better go ahead and get you started sooner rather than later. 6 week washout. (following a severe allergic reaction to Tysabri)
