...upstart competitor, to find out whether they breached confidentiality agreements by disclosing secrets about proprietary information. Match.com--which is owned by InterActiveCorp., headed by media mogul Barry Diller--has more than 12 million members and dwarfs True.com (which says it has about 350,000 users). But True.com's CEO, Herb Vest, a Dallas entrepreneur with gunslinger instincts, isn't cowering. He fired back two weeks ago with full-page ads in the Wall Street Journal and the Dallas Morning News. The ads reprinted Vest's taunting letter to Diller, in which he denied getting trade secrets from employees and vowed...
Initially, it wasn't clear whether Dumars and Brown would get along. Brown had been both coach and personnel director in Philadelphia, but in Detroit he was only the coach.

And allicin, the main ingredient in crushed garlic, can, when consumed in large quantities, reduce cholesterol and blood pressure. Some studies have shown it may even help prevent certain cancers...
...almond trees that fringe the waterfront and wait for Dermochelys coriacea to do its thing. Italian-born owner-manager Piero Guerrini quit his job as a news photographer when he discovered this small corner of paradise, and he created a funky, all-suite hotel and spa - with its own herb garden, so the menu can boast fresh pesto Genovese despite the tropical setting. It attracts an eclectic bunch of guests who keep coming back - a bit like the turtles, which always return to the beach of their birth even after sea voyages that take them half way across the world...
