Uma Thurman, Other Stars Targeted in $30-Million Ponzi Scam:
Just because you're a celebrity does not mean you're immune to being ripped off.

And although some of the more lucky stars smelled a rat and got their money out in time, on Thursday arrested federal prosecutors called financial adviser Kenneth Starr, 66, his $ 7.5 million Manhattan condo - where he was hiding in the cupboard, until federal agents spotted his shoes under the door, according to The New York Times.
Initially Starr's wife, Diane Passage, one former dancer at the strip club Scores, told the officers that Starr was not at home. But yes, the New York Post reports, quoting the agents, they pointed up and whispered: "He's upstairs. "

Madoff, 72, now serving a 150-year prison sentence for his misdeeds. Ironically, both his and Starr's offices were located in the same Third Avenue Manhattan office building.
"Starr had an MO has become depressingly familiar in recent times," Preet Bharara, U.S. attorney in Manhattan, said at a news conference Thursday. "He used his access to the famous and powerful clients to an image of reliability polishing, inducing them to him to entrust the management and control of their financial affairs."

Tanning beds increase melanoma risk

Tanning beds increase melanoma risk:

Indoor tanning beds greatly increase the risk of melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer and the risk increases over time, U.S. researchers said on Thursday, and other experts for tighter regulation. She said people who use any type of tanning bed for an amount of time, 74 percent more likely to develop melanoma, and frequent users are 2.5 to 3 times more likely to skin cancer than people who never use to develop. The study confirms previous research linking indoor tanning with melanoma, and answers any questions lingering about whether the practice is safe, or where the risk depends on the type used in tanning beds. "We found that it was not the kind of thing used tanning equipment, there was no safe tanning device," said Deanne Lazovich of the University of Minnesota, whose study appears in the journal Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers and Prevention. Studies had suggested young people were at greater risk, but said Lazovich the risk increases with the frequency of use, regardless of age, gender or the device. "The increased risks we reported, the risks associated with indoor tanning above and beyond all other known risk factors for melanoma," said in a telephone briefing Lazovich. Stricter regulations Dr. Allan Halpern, chief of dermatology at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York, told the briefing that melanoma cases are on the rise in the United States and the findings strengthen the case for regulation of sunbeds. He said the World Health Organization classifies all tanning as carcinogenic to humans, but in the United States, tanning beds are considered a Class 1 medical device - which is the equivalent of tongue depressors, "he said. The FDA is reviewing the classification and the agency on Wednesday released a video saying the use of an ultraviolet or UV-emitting device for the purpose of tanning should be avoided. "I'm hopeful that will be very useful in the hands of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to move forward to regulate this sector," said Halpern, who was not involved in the investigation. For the study, Lazovich and colleagues studied 1167 people diagnosed with melanoma and compared them with 1101 people without melanoma. The team asked people what type they had used tanning bed - that UVA radiation or UVB radiation. They found that melanoma risk was approximately three times greater among people who had used tanning beds that UVB rays and 4.4 times greater for UV-emitting devices to emit. They also found that the risk increased with usage. They defined heavy use as people who tan indoors for more than 50 hours, or more than 100 sessions, or more than 10 years. "Most reports were unable to adapt to sun exposure, confirming a dose-response, or examines specific solar equipment," said Lazovich. "Our population-based case-control study was conducted to address these constraints." Melanoma accounts for approximately 3 percent of skin cancer caused most cases, but skin cancer deaths, and doctors have few effective treatments to offer once the disease has spread. According to the American Cancer Society, 68,000 people were diagnosed with melanoma in 2009 and died 8650.

"Do not Ask, Do not Tell" may vote this week:
Congress (AP) is headed toward landmark vote on whether to allow gay people to openly serve in the army.
The House of Representatives was expected to vote as early as Thursday on a proposal by Rep. Patrick Murphy, a Democrat who served in the war in Iraq, that the law of 1993 known as "demand would not be canceled, do not tell."
The legislation - a compromise with the White House and agreed by the Ministry of Defence - the army would give as much time as he wants before lifting the ban.
Under the bill, the President, Defence Minister and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff first explains that the new policy will not be the military capability to fight hurt.
"We need to get this done, and we now need to get done," said Murphy.
As early as Thursday the Senate Armed Services Committee is expected to adopt a similar measure proposed by Sens Carl Levin, a Democrat, and Joe Lieberman, an independent.
Like the House, the Senate provision would be stored in a broader bill that is expected wide support for the authorization of hundreds of billions of dollars to the troops to win. Supporters said this week the Senate panel had enough votes for the bill after a key holdouts announced that it would swing back.
Nelson said a provision in the bill allowing the military the power to decide on the details of policy implementation is the key to his aid, because it removes from the political process "and provides for withdrawal is" consistent with military preparedness and effectiveness. "
Advocates hoped that the momentum in the Senate would be transferred to the House, where several conservative Democrats threatened the massive defense spending bill as to oppose the withdrawal clause included.
Defense Secretary Robert Gates has said he supports repeal, but would prefer that Congress wait to vote until he can talk to the troops and sends a path graph. A study he ordered is due on December 1.
"As Congress indicated that the Secretary is not possible, the language in the proposed amendment to accept," said Geoff Morrell, the Pentagon press secretary.
The service chiefs this week urged the panel not to vote until the Pentagon was a survey of military personnel on the issue to a conclusion. "The value of contemplation in the minds of the Marines and their families is that the signals to my Marines that their opinions," Marine Commandant James Conway said in a letter to Senator John McCain of Arizona, the top panel Republican.
Adm. Mike Mullen, the nation's top uniformed officer and chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told graduating Air Force Academy cadets Wednesday that they need to support a changing military.
Mullen did not immediately comment on the "do not ask, do not tell" policy. But the chairman, who said that the policy wrongly forces troops lie, said service members should question convention.
"Few things are important to an organization than people who have the moral courage to the direction in which the organization is headed and then the strength of character to support whatever final decisions are made demand," said Mullen.

Sammy Sosa Avoid Perjury Probe of PED comments to Congress

Sammy Sosa Avoid Perjury Probe of PED comments to Congress:
Sammy Sosa will not face a perjury investigation for his comments to Congress about performance-enhancing drugs. The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform said Wednesday the panel has decided to waive the Justice Department investigate whether Sosa lied during a hearing in March 2005, when the long-time slugger said: "I've never illegal performance-enhancing drugs taken." Last June, the chairman of the committee said he would look into the matter after Sosa's name was reported to be on a list of baseball players who allegedly do not drug test in 2003. "After a review of the case, we will not take any action," committee spokeswoman Jenny Thalheimer said Rosenberg. Rosenberg had no further comment, but the committee may be influenced by a limitation period of five years in such cases perjury. Under that deadline, the deadline for an indictment was in March.Sosa therefore avoids the type of perjury investigation currently around Roger Clemens, who told Congress in 2008 that he had not used steroids or human growth hormone. Clemens' testimony was contradicted by his former personal trainer, and a grand jury is hearing testimony for more than one year as the decision whether to sue the seven-time Cy Young Award winner. Sosa, who hit 609 home runs over 18 major league seasons, was part of one of the most famous sports-related Congressional hearings on March 17, 2005, when he testified along with Mark McGwire, Jose Canseco and Rafael Palmeiro. "Everything I've heard about steroids and human growth hormones that they are very bad for you, even lethal," Sosa said in testimony prepared for that day. "I would like dangerous things that never in my body." "To be clear," he added, "I have never taken illegal performance-enhancing drugs. I have never injected myself or had anyone inject me with something."

Gordon Naccarato, owner, and Ian Thompson, chief executive

Pacific Grill

1502 Pacific Ave., Tacoma, 253-627-3535, www.pacificgrilltacoma.com

What is your favorite grilled steak?

Thompson: I do not want steak, which is high in fat and marbling, such as strip sirloin or skirt steak to grill. Rib steaks are also good if you can cut it thick, I prefer the bone.

Naccarato: I agree with Ian, but my all-time favorite is rib eye, because the taste is so great. Either rib eye or you will spend - a restaurant, which can be difficult to grill, fillet side, and because New York never seem quite the same cook - temperature-wise.

Do you use a marinade? If so, what do you use?

Thompson: We use a garlic and herb oil infusion on all our steaks at the restaurant. A combination of olive oil and canola oil (20-80 ratio), fresh chopped garlic and chopped fresh herbs like rosemary and Italian parsley.

Naccarato: Be careful with marinades and dry out they can actually cut a good steak, especially when vinegar or citrus juice in them. Simple marinades are best used if at all.

What do you season your steak?

Thompson: We just started a salt that we smoke with apple wood chips in the house to finish our steaks.

Naccarato: We still have the year prior to grilling steaks with salt and lots of freshly ground pepper. The smoked salt is a finishing salt "is added after cooking and just before dinner, which gives an extra smoky flavor. Since the restaurant we have gas grills, smoked salt gives flavor to grilled over real wood. It's wonderful. We use it to season the menu bar "beer nuts" like smoked almonds.

What side dishes are perfect companions for grilled steak taste?

Naccarato: I love arugula and parmesan with steak, Tuscan-sty. The juices mingle with the salad and delicious-it just needs a good splash of extra virgin olive oil and a dash of lemon to the focus of the flavors. Mushrooms are a personal favorite with steak. And a simple "steak frites," as our skinny fries is a perfect complement, although I would argue that a loaded baked potato still has its place.

Currently we serve a steak with a simple Roman pasta "CHEESE Pepe (cheese and pepper). This is a dish that my father cooked for us children to two times a week when we were growing up. It could not be more simple or delicious. Angel hair pasta dad used, but the original recipe is usually made with a thicker pasta such as spaghetti. Dad would grill steaks in New York to work with the pasta, or pan Sauté them in a cast iron skillet. The salty steak juices blended with the peppery cheesy pasta is delicious. (See the accompanying recipe for the dish to make)

Any other grilling tips?

Naccarato: Do not overcook! The only thing worse than over-seasoned food is under-seasoned food. And a steak is cooked a sad thing indeed.

Grilled asparagus. Preparation: First you'll want your asparagus blanch in boiling hot water to help with the cooking and also help those big green color. It usually takes about a minute or two, depending on the thickness of the stems. When these are done pull them out of the boiling water and immerse in an ice bath (just a bowl of ice and water) to stop the cooking process and keep your asparagus from getting all slimy.

Cool guys and bad start when you're ready to grill your steaks, find a nice place and throw them on medium heat. You really just shoots from the earth and get some marks. Season with salt and pepper and baste with some nice olive oil and enjoy.

What other advice to you for grilling the perfect steak dinner at home?

I'd say it simple, using a number of large pieces of meat to keep. Always err on the side under-cooked, if anything. You can always go one under-cooked steak on the grill, but once it happens there is no return.

My favorite steak is grilled to New York due to the fact that a choice cut is well marbled. Choice is important in the reduction of the steak, because the lower the rank, there is less marbling.

Do you use a marinade?

If it is a quality piece of meat, I do not like to use marinades. Some parts need a little help, such as a flank, for flavor and moisture, and I will balsamic or red wine vinegar, olive oil and herb marinade to use for about three hours.

What do you season your steak?

I want the simple herbs, starting with sea salt and freshly ground pepper and keep right until it comes off the grill, with a finish brushing of olive oil, fresh garlic and fresh chopped rosemary.

Any other grilling tips?

Not use the fork to turn steaks it will pierce the meat and juices to flow. Use pliers. Remove the steak from the grill just before the desired doneness (medium if you prefer, remove the medium rare stage) and let a few minutes allows the juices to spread the steak.

Also red potatoes, boiled until just done, drained and tossed with olive oil, rosemary, salt and pepper and roasted in a 400 degree oven until golden and served with a salad of arugula.

A marinade is highly recommended for heavy cuts of meat such as flank, skirt, sternum. Use an acid to help break down muscle. Citrus, vinegar are great for adding flavor as well. Preferably at night to fully penetrate the meat.

What do you season your steak?

I prefer freshly cracked pepper and kosher, sea salt or gray. Escape the iodized salt!

What side dishes are perfect companions for grilled steak taste?

I have just one dish for Mother's Day, which was tossed after I finger ment potatoes cooked in salted water for 20 minutes and then tossed them with truffle oil, truffle salt, black pepper and place them on the grill until they are crisp. Even if you go to Metropolitan Market, they have a great cheese section and they have an individual serving of large pieces of cheese. Choose a few and experiment.

I love arugula with salt, lemon juice and extra virgin olive oil. Or grilled radicchio is a good side, too, with a dash of aged balsamic vinegar.

Chefs know their whims

Whether you're a purist or a charcoal gas grill user, here are methods and tips directly from chefs at the best way to grill a steak.

Chef Diana Prine, Fife City Bar & Grill

On a gas grill: I have some very hot and the other section, medium hot. Start on the hot area and sear, score, run, sear and finish in the medium area. The seals in the scorching juices, and by moving the steak to the cooler area, it will slowly without burning

On the charcoal grill: Get the white-hot charcoal in the center of the grill. The day before, enjoy some wood chips (not a hardwood, I use my apple trimmings) in water. Before the steaks on the grill, sprinkle a small amount of wood to charcoal in a smoke-free launch and steaks in the center of the grill cover and let the steaks and smoke. Proceed as you would on a gas grill where the blazing and will finish on the cooler outer edges of the grill. Do you have a spray bottle of water to any flare-ups from the timber to extinguish.

Check for doneness: I check by touching the center of the steak. The softer, the more rare it is. The softest region in the palm of your hand between thumb and forefinger, is considered the feeling of rare medium is in the center of the palm next to the wrist, and right at the base of the thumb next to the wrist. This method takes some practice and you would like to work with this technique and with a thermometer to confirm until they feel comfortable.

Chief cook Charlie McManus, Primo Grill, Tacoma

Clean the grill: any carbon buildup on the grill racks will hinder a good marker of the steak, and any accumulation of fat in the body or char from the grill could lead to flames, which can ruin a steak.

Build the fire at high temperatures, the ideal use of lump charcoal briquettes or gas, but are fine.

Before grilling: Remove the steaks from the refrigerator at least 30 minutes before you plan to cook them. It makes it easier for them to cook to the proper internal temperature.

Oil the grill: Use an old clean cloth kitchen with a little cooking oil poured on it to season the grill.

Season: Brush the steaks with a little olive oil using a pastry brush and season with salt and freshly cracked sea salt.

High heat: Place the steak on the hot grill and cook until a nice crust has developed about four minutes. Cooking with the lid for faster cooking and ventilation openings to adjust to any flames that may be slowing. If the steak has flames around it that do not disappear, then move to another part of the grill.

Let it rest: Remove from grill and let it rest with a loose foil cover for about three minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to collect in the steak and not run out when cut.

Additional tips:

Chef Lisa Owen: "Make sure grill is very clean and bright with good wipe oil."

Chef Tasso Zambaras: (For a wood fire) Get your fire at least 45 minutes before you plan to start cooking. Get a good white-hot burning coal and make sure you do not cook you fresh burning wood. Steaks will dripping of juices which can cause fire to a black sooty a taste of your meat. "

Chef Stickle Matt: "If you find the perfect grill marks, 90 degrees after a few minutes and then turn around and same on the other hand, do. It takes about two minutes the first side and if the (beef) sticks, it's not ready to be rotated. Then grill the other side for two to four minutes depending on thickness. "

"I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the support, fun, and your sense of humor. The truth is, if anyone asks me who is going to replace those who go to the next court, the truth is You are the judge of this show. You have done a great job over the years. "
