 Leaked documents reveal US diplomats actually work for MonsantoBy Anthony Gucciardi, January 11 2012
(NaturalNews) Biotech giant Monsanto has been genetically modifying the world's food supply and subsequently breeding environmental devastation for years, but leaked documents now reveal that Monsanto has also deeply infiltrated the United States government. With leaked reports revealing how U.S. diplomats are actually working for Monsanto to push their agenda along with other key government officials, Monsanto's grasp on international politics has never been clearer.
Amazingly, the information...
 Health Basics: E-cigarettes; are you trading one bad habit for another?By S. D. Wells, January 11 2012
(NaturalNews) There are currently no regulations whatsoever of the ingredients in e-cigs, and no age restrictions for purchasing them either. This "hot" new product is marketed to children, teens and adults, and is sold in shopping malls at kiosks and on hundreds of websites.
Nicotine doses in e-cigs have an enormous range, from a mild 5 milligrams, on up to 60mg. Botched jobs by amateur manufacturers can end up delivering over 300mg, which is a possible lethal dose, especially for a child or...
 President of Argentina latest victim of false cancer diagnosis; thyroid gland removal was a mistakeBy Jonathan Benson, January 11 2012
(NaturalNews) Health authorities are constantly haranguing the public to get screened for breast, prostate, cervical, colorectal and many other forms of cancer because they say early detection is the best way to help avoid dying from the disease. But cancer screenings often lead to false diagnosis, which was the case recently with Cristina Fernandez, President of Argentina, who was sent home from the hospital cancer-free after having already had her thyroid gland removed.

 Fabric softeners contain toxic chemicalsBy Selena Keegan, January 11 2012
(NaturalNews) Fabric softener ads often portray an image of comfort, freshness and sweetness. Yet most fabric softeners contain a grim list of known toxins which can enter your body through the skin and by inhalation, causing a wide range of health problems, particularly for young children.
Some of the harmful ingredients commonly found in liquid or sheet fabric softeners include:
• Chloroform: This substance was used as an anesthesia in the 1800s up through the early 1900s when...
Two important victories against evil GMO corporations and their seed spawnBy PF Louis, January 11 2012
(NaturalNews) With all the bad news about Monsanto and other corporations who create and promote GMOs, here's a couple of good news items from the last couple of years to relieve some doom and gloom. Hopefully, these victories against GMO companies, one by an individual farmer in Canada, the other by a large rice collective in the USA, will inspire others to hold their ground.
Normally, bully Monsanto sues small independent farmers, forcing them to pay fees for GMO plants that grew from various...
 Physicians going broke because the health care system doesn't workBy Tara Green, January 11 2012
(NaturalNews) In the US, most people, upon hearing that someone is a physician assume that person has a higher than average income. However, a recent article on the CNN Money website drew attention to a new trend -- doctors declaring bankruptcy.
Bankruptcy and practice closuresThe CNN article quotes Marc Lion, CEO of Lion & Company CPAs, LLC, which advises independent doctor practices about their finances, as saying "A lot of independent practices are starting to see serious financial issues....
 Just how much alcohol do Brits drink anyway? Legislators call for two non-alcohol days each weekBy Jonathan Benson, January 11 2012
(NaturalNews) Alcohol consumption patterns in the UK are apparently out of control, as certain members of parliament (MPs) have suggested new drinking guidelines for the nation. Citing dated standards last updated in the 1990s that suggest daily drinking maximums. Members of the House of Commons science and technology committee say that Brits should now take two days off a week from alcohol in order to maintain their health.
There are differing opinions about alcohol and whether or not it may...
 Hugely-expensive Chicago homeland security program replete with failureBy J. D. Heyes, January 11 2012
(NaturalNews) They say the road to hell (and financial ruin) is paved with good intentions. And so it is with a massively expensive project for Cook County, Chicago that cost taxpayers more than $45 million and has been an abject failure.
The goal was to make citizens safer, but in the end, a federal probe found that the program - dubbed Project Shield - turned out to be more like the disasters it was supposed to mitigate. A U.S. Department of Homeland Security inspector general investigation...
 Snoop Dogg's marijuana drug bust highlights idiocy of the failed War on DrugsBy Mike Adams, January 10 2012
(NaturalNews) Snoop Dogg has been busted with marijuana possession at a west Texas border agent checkpoint. It's the same checkpoint where Willie Nelson was recently caught with marijuana. After being questioned by agents, Snoop Dogg (Calvin Broadus) readily admitted the marijuana cigarettes were his, as he has a license for medical marijuana use in California. He was cited for possession of drug paraphernalia and issued a court appearance date of January 20. (http://www.cnn.com/2012/01/09/showbiz/snoop...
 Five practical ways to raise your consciousness in 2012 (and beyond)By Mike Adams, January 10 2012
(NaturalNews) Last week, I declared 2012 the "Year of Consciousness" for NaturalNews (http://www.naturalnews.com/034554_consciousness_awakening_2012.html) and pointed out that the ultimate solution to ending tyranny, wars, corporate deception and environmental destruction is to upgrade our consciousness rather than "killing our enemies." This announcement was greatly appreciated by NaturalNews readers, who for the most part have a very positive outlook on 2012 and beyond.
But there was something...
 Flier health in danger as Canadian Authorities trial in-flight WifiBy Christopher Babayode , January 10 2012
(NaturalNews) The race to install in-flight WiFi access on planes has taken a turn for the worse as Canadian regulators give the okay for trials to proceed. Up until now Canadian authorities had prohibited the use of WiFi-enabled devices in its airspace. Authorizing the use of WiFi devices poses questions on a range of issues including health, safety and technology. Canada is not the first in North America to wrestle with the question of in-flight Wifi. As the trend continues it probably will not...
 EU halts imports of US-based corn gluten feed due to GMO contaminationBy Jonathan Benson, January 10 2012
(NaturalNews) The European Union (EU) has rejected roughly one million tons of US-based corn gluten feed, a leftover byproduct of corn processing that is commonly fed to conventional livestock, over concerns that it might be tainted with illegal genetically-modified organisms (GMO). Unlike the US, the EU still has at least some standards when it comes to GMOs, and has typically been much slower to adopt them compared to countries in North and South America.
Reuters Africa reports that corn gluten...
 New study: nicotine dramatically improves and normalizes failing memory in eldersBy S. L. Baker, January 10 2012
(NaturalNews) Tobacco is some kind of "devil weed," only good for making chemical-laden products like cigarettes, known to promote cancer. At least, that's the current take on this plant. But that's certainly not the whole truth about tobacco, which has been used historically by many cultures both in religious rituals and also as a natural therapy for various ailments from colds to tuberculosis.
In modern times, science has documented health benefits in tobacco's compounds. For example, a study...
 How to detox aluminum and why it's necessaryBy PF Louis, January 10 2012
(NaturalNews) We are in the "Age of Aluminum", this according to a lecture by Dr. Chris Exley, PhD at a January 2011 vaccine safety conference in Jamaica. A common expression among those who deflect aluminum's toxicity issues is that aluminum is prominent throughout the earth's crust. What they fail to mention is that aluminum (Al) wasn't widely bioavailable to humans until the latter part of the 19th Century when it began to be mined for creating metals and medicines.
Now we have aluminum appearing...
 Natural cranberry juice more effective than pills for fighting infectionsBy Michelle Bosmier, January 10 2012
(NaturalNews) A new study from the Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) in Massachusetts confirms that natural cranberry juice is more effective in fighting infections than pills containing concentrated doses of the flavonoids found in cranberries. The study published in the Food Science and Biotechnology journal was led by Dr. Terri Camesano, professor of chemical engineering.
The new paper adds to the highly positive conclusions previously published by professor Camesano on the health benefits...
 Danger of chemical hair dyes: Girl's face swells up like balloon following applicationBy Jonathan Benson, January 10 2012
(NaturalNews) To many, they are just one particular means by which to keep up with the latest styles and fashion trends. But chemical hair dyes carry with them some very serious health risks, a fact that 22-year-old Louise Henson from Skegness, Lincolnshire, in the UK recently learned the hard way.
The UK's Daily Mail reports that the young bartender recently tried to apply Garnier Nutrisse "caramel golden light brown" hair dye to her hair in order to match the hair color of her favorite media...
 Many common pills are coated with toxic phthalatesBy Tara Green, January 10 2012
(NaturalNews)The coatings of many common drugs and supplements often contain phthalates according to a recent study reported in Environmental Health Perspectives. This family of plasticizer compounds has been linked in previous studies to hormonal and reproductive problems as well as fetal brain damage.
Plastic-coated pillsPhthalate coatings on capsules and pills are used to help regulate the timed release of drugs or to deliver active ingredients to specific areas in the digestive tract where...
Rep. Kucinich proposes legislation to ban open-air cultivation of pharmaceutical-producing GE cropsBy Ethan A. Huff, January 10 2012
(NaturalNews) A long-time advocate of protecting the food supply from the detrimental, and most-likely irreversible, effects of genetically-engineered (GE) crops on the environment and humans, Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) has proposed new legislation to ban the open-air cultivation of GE crops programmed to produce experimental pharmaceutical drugs and various other industrial chemicals and additives.
House Resolution (HR) 3554, also known as The Genetically Engineered Safety Act, will prohibit...
 Pepsi's lawyers say Mountain Dew can dissolve a mouseBy Tara Green, January 9 2012
(NaturalNews) While drinking Mountain Dew, have you ever seen (or perhaps felt on your tongue) a thick, jelly-like substance? Maybe you assumed the ingredients in the soda had gelled. According to Mountain Dew manufacturer Pepsi, you may have been ingesting some extra protein with your beverage in the form of a liquified rodent.
Lawsuit results in unusual defenseAn Illinois man is suing Pepsi, claiming he found a mouse in his can of Mountain Dew. Ronald Bell of Edwardsville, a small town near...
Publicly funded GMO research in India exposed as fraud to secretly sneak in Monsanto seedsBy Jonathan Benson, January 9 2012
(NaturalNews) The nation of India is currently embroiled in a massive scandal involving the use of taxpayer dollars to fund research into genetically-modified organisms (GMO). The Coalition for a GM-Free India (CGMFI) is demanding an immediate end to public sector funding of GMO research after the Indian government and several research institutions were caught using Monsanto's genetic traits in supposedly "indigenous" GM crops.
From all sides, India, the world's ninth largest economy, has been...
 Eating healthy on a budgetBy Paul Fassa, January 9 2012
(NaturalNews) Not everyone is able or ready to grow their own food yet. With food prices rising and the dollar shrinking, it's a good idea to know what to buy and where. The first thing to realize is eating solely for taste and eating out often are the wrong approaches.
Allocating serious shopping time for some trial and error to determine where you get your best deals is necessary. If you have more than one health food store available, learn which ones offer better deals on specific items.

 Juicing medical marijuana the latest trend in amazing curesBy PF Louis, January 9 2012
(NaturalNews) There have been a few articles written about the multitude of environmentally sustainable industrial applications of hemp. There have been perhaps many more written about the medical applications of cannabis. Now there is a formerly skeptical California doctor who has found the optimal method of using marijuana for health.
Unfortunately, the DEA, an arm of the U.S. Justice Department, has made sure marijuana remains as a Class I drug under federal law. This classification means that...
 FTC lawsuit targets acai berry marketing ads that pose as legitimate product reviewsBy Ethan A. Huff, January 9 2012
(NaturalNews) Earlier in the year, the Consumer Wellness Center (CWC) conducted an investigation into those tricky acai berry diet advertisements that lure web surfers into purchasing "free" or low-cost trials of weight loss supplements, only to have their credit cards charged for hundreds of dollars in "membership" fees (http://www.naturalnews.com/031280_acai_berries_scam.html). And the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has announced that it is finally going to take action against the companies...
 Homeopathic alternatives to antidepressant drugsBy Dana Ullman, January 9 2012
(NaturalNews) Depression lowers the spirits and drowns the eyes in sorrow, though tears aren't the only reason why depressed people sometimes can't see straight. Depression also caves in the chest, slumps the shoulders, and inhibits full breathing, usually forcing unhappy people to try to catch their breath by frequent sighing. It is sometimes said that depression brings you down to sighs (my apology to those readers who get depressed by bad puns).
On a much more serious note, depression can be...
 Proteins, not sugar, increase energy expenditureBy Michelle Bosmier, January 9 2012
(NaturalNews) A study published in the November issue of the science journal Neuron subverts the commonly held belief that consuming sugar can make you feel more energetic. Researchers at the University of Cambridge reveal that protein is responsible for activating cells that keep us awake and help us burn more calories, not glucose.
According to the study results, our alertness and energy levels depend on a set of cells called "orexin cells", which secrete a substance that acts as a stimulant...
Law enforcement officials can now secretly install GPS tracking on your vehicle and spy on you without a warrant, says judgeBy Ethan A. Huff, January 9 2012
(NaturalNews) As long as law enforcement officials claim to have reasonable suspicion that you might be involved with committing a crime, they are free to affix a GPS tracking device to your car without your knowledge and monitor your every movement. At least this is the opinion of US Magistrate Judge David Noce from the Eastern District of Missouri, who recently decided that no warrant is needed to secretly track individuals suspected of criminal behavior.
The ruling came after 69-year-old Fred...
 Mediterranean diet and reduced calorie intake promote brain health and longevityBy John Phillip, January 8 2012
(NaturalNews) Researchers have long theorized that a Mediterranean diet full of vegetables, fruit, fish, nuts, seeds and olive oil can help promote good health. Scientists at the Sahlgrenska Academy in Sweden reporting in the European journal AGE provide the unanimous results: four independent studies demonstrate this style of eating not only lowers the risk from many chronic and potentially fatal diseases, but actually also extends healthy lifespan in aging adults. A separate research body appearing...
 Gardasil - Don't Cry for Me Argentina - I Have Come to Kill Thousands of Your GirlsBy Rosemary Mathis, Vice President of Victim Support, SANE VAX, INC., January 8 2012
(NaturalNews) Last February, Argentinian President Cristina Fernandez announced the launch of the country's HPV vaccine program at the National Institute of Tropical Medicine conference. In a stunning admission and before an audience of her countrymen, who did not react to her gaffe, President Fernandez admits that the HPV vaccine kills girls. Was she betrayed by her subconscious or by her criminal unconscious?
"Now we are going to add the HPV vaccine to the Official Immunization Program of the...
 New Clancy 'Rainbow Six' vid game labels OWS protesters as the new domestic terror threatBy J. D. Heyes, December 21 2011
(NaturalNews) Is it getting increasingly harder to voice your opinion in the U.S. without someone labeling you a terrorist or a subversive? The latest outrage comes from the Tom Clancy-inspired "Rainbow Six" videogame series, in which Occupy Wall Street protesters are the new domestic terrorists.
The latest incarnation of the series, "The Patriots," won't hit stores until 2013, but here's a sample of the plot: "Terrorism has evolved and America is under attack. Capitalizing on the sense of frustration...
Vitamin C mega-dosing continues to unleash healing miracles around the worldBy PF Louis, January 8 2012
(NaturalNews) Remember the story of Alan Smith from New Zealand, and his dramatic recovery from a coma with mega-dose vitamin C? That story went viral and was featured in the New Zealand version of "60 Minutes." But some sources didn't have it quite right. The mega-dose vitamin C was not by IV for the last two weeks. They were through a uniquely new oral C product.
Alan pulled out of his coma from white-out pneumonia (lungs whited out in X-rays) and complications with leukemia. He had been on...
 Salt - friend or foe?By Michelle Bosmier, January 8 2012
(NaturalNews) For many years we have been told by medical experts and nutritionists alike that it is crucial for our health to cut down on sodium as much as possible. Statistical data seems to show that a high dietary salt intake (primarily consisting in sodium chloride) can put people at risk of cardiovascular complications.
Consequently, salt has been vilified to such extent in the media that may people strive to remove it from their diets completely. But is wiping salt out of the menu really...
 Goal setting that sticks every timeBy Mike Bundrant, January 8 2012
(NaturalNews) (This goal setting anecdote was written based on the experience of an iNLP student.) I sat at the dining room table on the day after Christmas, loathing myself for being 60 pounds overweight. Then I loathed myself more for loathing myself. Vicious cycle. I said to my wife, "I don't know why I bother with goal setting around losing weight. I can't do it! I know it will never happen, but here I am. I need to lose 60 pounds, but it is impossible. I should just accept myself the way I am...
 FBI pushes to classify undercover animal abuse investigations as 'terrorism'By Ethan A. Huff, January 8 2012
(NaturalNews) The USA Patriot Act, the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), and various other unconstitutional "anti-terrorism" legislation all appear to be getting turned right back around on the American people. It has been revealed that the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has been keeping files on animal rights activists who conduct undercover investigations of factory farms, and the agency is now recommending that these activists be prosecuted as "terrorists."

Obama lawyers claim Americans who oppose U.S. government are 'legitimate' targets for government bombings, assassinationsBy J. D. Heyes, January 8 2012
(NaturalNews) Do you remember when Barack Obama, as a senator and onetime constitutional law professor, opposed legislation he felt incriminated on the rights of American citizens? If that seems like a political lifetime ago, that's because it was; it was back in a time (2007) when he also believed the U.S. should close Guantanamo Bay, restore Habeas Corpus to Muslims around the world and never hold U.S. citizens as enemy combatants.
How a few years have changed things. Nowadays, Obama still believes...

(NaturalNews) For the very first time, a scientific study published in a peer-reviewed journal has come up with a solid estimate of the total number of US deaths caused by the Fukushima nuclear disaster in the weeks following it. Epidemiologist Joseph Mangano, MPH, MBA, and his colleagues say that, based on compiled data, at least 14,000 people in the US were killed during the 14 weeks following the Fukushima catastrophe -- and the majority of these deaths were in children under age one.

Large southwest dairy farm could lose organic certification following USDA investigationBy Ethan A. Huff, December 28 2011
(NaturalNews) The first dairy to ever become US Department of Agriculture (USDA) certified organic in the State of Arizona is now set to lose that certification following an investigation spearheaded by the Cornucopia Institute (CI), a small-scale organic farm advocacy group. Shamrock Farms has allegedly been breaking USDA rules for organics by confining cows and restricting their access to pasture, and the USDA is finally getting around to taking action more than three years after CI lodged an initial...
IBM helped automate Hitler's holocaust death machine, author revealsBy J. D. Heyes, January 6 2012
(NaturalNews) It is not known that one of America's most successful technology companies was complicit in helping Nazi leader Adolph Hitler build a more efficient killing machine before and during World War II, one author charges.
Edwin Black, who's groundbreaking work, "IBM and the Holocaust: The Strategic Alliance Between Nazi Germany and America's Most Powerful Corporation" (Crown Books, 2001, and Three Rivers Press, 2002), has just re-released this powerful book of a decade ago in paperback...
 Monsanto spends whopping $2 million in third quarter 2011 lobbying federal governmentBy Jonathan Benson, January 6 2012
(NaturalNews) If you have ever wondered how the biotechnology industry has been able to develop the cozy and unquestioning relationship with the federal government that it has today, you need not look much further than Big Biotech's lobbying expenditures. According to a recent Bloomberg Businessweek report, biotech giant Monsanto spent a whopping $2 million just in the third quarter of 2011 lobbying the federal government to support its agenda.
One of its loftiest lobbying seasons on record, Monsanto's...
 Journal commentary suggests flawed studies intentionally obscured benefits of vitamin therapy in preventing strokesBy Jonathan Benson, January 6 2012
(NaturalNews) Prior to the release of several studies that claim the therapy is ineffective, taking high doses of B vitamins was considered an effective regimen for lowering homocysteine levels, and thus helping to prevent strokes and cardiovascular disease. But a new commentary published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) suggests that these negative studies are flawed, and that B vitamin therapy is still an effective heart protection therapy.
Dr. David Spence from the...
 Vitamin B-12 and folic acid prevent memory loss and improve cognition as we ageBy John Phillip, January 6 2012
(NaturalNews) Researchers from the Australian National University have shown that essential B vitamins combat stress that results in a loss of memory and normal thought patterns that cause abnormal brain aging. Published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, scientists found that long-term supplementation of daily folic acid and vitamin B-12 promotes improvement in cognitive functioning after a period of two years, particularly in immediate and delayed memory performance. B vitamins are...
 Alternate treatment for chronic acne sufferersBy Fleur Hupston, January 6 2012
(NaturalNews) Certain pharmaceutical medications prescribed for acne sufferers come with serious side effects. Many sufferers, desperate to be rid of their embarrassing acne, have found out too late that their treatment choice can cause severe, life-threatening diseases. Using a more natural skin care protocol, orally and/or topically, comes without harmful side effects and is often less expensive.
Severe acne can cause permanent scarring and, in many cases, severe psychological damage. Not surprisingly...
 All that glitters is gold: Metal theft rising in UK and around the worldBy Jonathan Benson, January 6 2012
(NaturalNews) Ten years ago, it would have been almost unheard of to hear about thieves targeting facilities like churches or hospitals for their copper trim work, steel-encased generators, wiring, and other metal materials. But today, in the midst of a spiraling global economy, a growing number of thieves are shamelessly nabbing metal wherever, and however, they can, in order to make a quick buck.
Snagging copper wiring from utility poles and air conditioning units is no longer the modus operandi...
 Busted! Scientists leave out data to produce bogus findingsBy S. L. Baker, January 5 2012
(NaturalNews) Clinical trials of drugs and other medical therapies are carefully carried out and are the very gold standard of scientific proof, right? According to an in-depth review of this question just published in the British Medical Journal (BMJ,) the answer is no. In fact, the BMJ is sounding the alarm that data reported by scientists is too often not the truth -- because the researchers leave out inconvenient evidence. The result of facts-gone-missing could well be harming patients, spiking...
 Woman files class action lawsuit against Frito-Lay for marketing genetically-modified snacks as 'all natural'By Jonathan Benson, January 5 2012
(NaturalNews) Many major food manufacturers have been on a kick to jump on the "all natural" bandwagon, with all sorts of processed food products now claiming to be healthy and free of artificial and synthetic ingredients. However, one such company, Frito-Lay, is the subject of a new class action lawsuit that pegs the company for illegally marketing its snack products, which are loaded with genetically-modified (GM) ingredients, as being natural.
Represented by Milberg LLP of Los Angeles, Calif...
 Protect health freedom at the state level - help pass the Wisconsin Consumer Choice and Wellness ActBy Tara Green, January 5 2012
(NaturalNews) Advocates of health freedom are fighting a battle in many states across the US to ensure that holistic health care providers can continue to practice. This will provide people with an alternative to drugs, surgery and radiation which mainstream medicine wants you to see as your only option. One such battle is currently taking place in Wisconsin where activists are working to generate public and legislative attention to a grassroots bill, the Consumer Choice and Wellness Act. The clock...
 Sauerkraut promotes good health (and good fortune, too)By Marsha Anderson, January 5 2012
(NaturalNews) Many cultural traditions eat fermented vegetables on New Years Day to bring good fortune. Folklore has it that the long threads of sauerkraut potentially represent a long life. Greens are also associated with money and thus thought to bring good fortune. A practical reason for the tradition may be because cabbage is a late fall crop, and the best way to preserve it for the winter is by making sauerkraut. However, these traditional reasons to eat sauerkraut are trumped by a thoroughly...
 Rosemary oil can be used as a natural meat preservative, and it works better than chemical additivesBy Mike Adams, January 5 2012
(NaturalNews) Although some people already use the popular herb rosemary for seasoning their meat, this combination may become more common in the near future as food manufacturers respond to consumer demand for more natural products.
Currently, two of the most common additives used to preserve meat are BHT and BHA. But studies have linked BHA with cancer and BHT with hyperactivity, causing some consumers to avoid products containing them (read ingredients labels to find out if they're in the foods...
FDA backs off regulation on agricultural antibiotic abuseBy Tara Green, January 2 2012
(NaturalNews) Twas three days before Christmas and all through the U.S., people were shopping for last minute gifts. Sneakily into Big Agriculture's stocking, the feds did deposit some deregulation.
On December 22, the Food and Drug Administration quietly announced it would dispense with any regulation of antibiotic use on factory farms. This reverses an anti-livestock antibiotic stance the agency took back in 1977.
Factory farming and antibiotics Thirty-four years ago, when the switch-over...

Chemicals in fast food wrappers show up in human bloodBy David Gutierrez, January 6 2012
(NaturalNews) Toxic chemicals used to line fast food wrappers migrate easily into human blood, according to a study conducted by researchers from the University of Toronto and published in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives.
Oily foods such as fast food and microwave popcorn are regularly packaged in paper or cardboard coated with polyfluoroalkyl phosphate esters (PAPs), which prevent water or grease from leaking through the packaging. A prior study by the same research team confirmed...
