Dear Luv Doc, My best friend since high school is dating a guy who seems really fake. Whenever me and my boyfriend go out with them as a couple he is always just a little too overdressed, like he thought too hard about it – and he always smells like some expensive cologne. When we went to the Salt Lick a few weekends ago he wore a cowboy hat, flip-flops, Ralph Lauren cargos, a really loud floral print, and very expensive Ray-Bans. He's a lawyer, but he drives a really old Ford Bronco he is supposedly "restoring" that doesn't have working air conditioning, so my friend always has to drive him everywhere.

CERES team A new study published in the scientific peer-reviewed journal, Climate , by 37 researchers from 18 countries suggests that current estimates of global warming are contaminated by urban warming biases. The study also suggests that the solar activity estimates considered in the most recent reports by the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) likely underestimated the role of the Sun in global warming since the 19th century. It is well-known that cities are warmer than the surrounding countryside.
