For those of us in the northeast, it's been an unusually warm January. But don't let that distract you from the special days this time of year. This week's newsletter highlights travel options for a romantic getaway, or a trip to Super Bowl 51 in Houston this weekend, or a special Valentine's gift for someone special in your life from 1800flowers.

On the breaking news front, surely all eyes are on Washington these days. This week's cover story on the No Heroes Left Untreated Act is an opportunity for Congress to address the issues of PTS and TBI that so many of our military and veterans suffer from.

There is great potential in Magnetic E-Resonance Therapy - an individualized non-pharmaceutical, non-invasive neuromodulation procedure that applies magnetic stimulation to help facilitate restoration of proper brain function. The therapy has shown remarkable results in clinical trials. Congress should act now to pass this.
