Paris -- French designer Jean Paul Gaultier says he has embraced modern fashion with his first new perfume in 15 years.

The famed designer said advertisements for Ma Dame will feature edgy and modern shots of model Agyness Deyn, who he sees as the embodiment of his newest scent, Hellomagazine.com said Saturday.

"She was ballerina and biker, so feminine and masculine," Gaultier said of the new face for his perfume. "It was a mix of my sensibility, and I knew she was completely the one to represent it."

Deyn was chosen by Gaultier after the designer saw the blond model during his retrospective 30th anniversary show in 2006, the Web site reported.

No matter what language you speak, that means "green."

For many, being green means helping to protect the planet from the negative effects of human beings with methods such as recycling, turning off lights, and using alternative energy. For investors, it can also mean investing in companies that do all this, and also boosting returns.

ROCHESTER, N.Y. -- More than half of Americans say they tend not to trust the media, a U.S. poll indicates.

A Harris Interactive poll found that just 30 percent of Americans trust the media, with respondents saying they trust radio more than television or the Internet.

Forty-four percent of respondents said they trusted radio, while 36 percent said they trust television, and 41 percent said they trust Internet news sites.

The poll of 2,302 U.S. adults was taken online Jan. 15-22. No margin of error was reported.

The poll found that 70 percent of respondents said they go to local television for political news, while two-thirds said they tune into to cable news stations like CNN, MSNBC or FOX, either all the time or occasionally.

New York -- Two New Yorkers who were recently arrested for violating an anti-loitering law declared unconstitutional 25 years ago have filed a false arrest suit.

The federal class-action suit accuses New York and its police department of continuing to arrest people under an anti-loitering law that was thrown out in 1983, the New York Daily News reported Wednesday.

The newspaper said the suit, if certified as class-action, will also cover others arrested under the law since it was abolished -- a number the Daily News found to be 2,513 people.

"This action seeks to end -- finally, for all time -- this pattern and practice of unconstitutional conduct by police officers in the NYPD," the suit says.

Paul Casale and Anthony Garcia were arrested in March 2007 while walking at the New York Port Authority. Their lawyers said they were strip-searched and arrested under the defunct law.

It's nice to have curious brokerages around. TD Ameritrade (Nasdaq: AMTD) recently released the results of a survey it commissioned asking Americans about their New Year's resolutions. It seems that fully 69% of respondents plan to save more money in 2008, while 57% aim to pay down their debt and 46% want to cut back their spending.

That's the good news.
