Research Interests
Research concentrates on the synthesis and characterization of biocompatible and biodegradable polymers. We collaborate closely with the Boston Retinal Implant Project on the hermetic and biocompatible encapsulation of retinal implants. We study methods of deposition, physical properties and biocompatibility of materials that provide barrier properties and amphiphilic block copolymers that convey biocompatibility.
Natural-synthetic hybrid block and graft copolymers are synthesized and studied for the ability to self-assemble into nano and microparticles that can potentially act as drug delivery vehicles.

The penalties for drinking and driving have become more severe, particularly for repeat offenders, who often face mandatory jail time. In many states, plea bargaining is restricted or banned in drunk-driving cases. Fines have increased and driver's license suspensions have lengthened. It is also harder to obtain a "hardship" license that allows a person only to drive to and from work. In this climate an experienced drunk-driving defense attorney is essential.

Drunk Driving - An Overview
If you have been stopped for, arrested for or charged with drunk driving, contact Holder Susan Slusher Oxenhandler LLC in Columbia, Missouri, as soon as possible to discuss your options and rights with an attorney who has experience handling drunk-driving cases. Drunk-driving law is complex and the guidance of a skilled and knowledgeable lawyer can make a significant difference in a defendant's experience and in the outcome of his or her case.
Each U.S. state has its own set of drunk-driving laws, and in some states drunk driving is a crime, while in others it is classified as a traffic offense. While drunk-driving laws do differ among the states, there are certain concepts and features common to most states' drunk-driving jurisprudence. As we all know, operating a motor vehicle after consuming alcohol and/or drugs to a degree that impairs a person's judgment and ability to drive safely is a serious offense. Both criminal and civil penalties for drunk driving can be harsh and often include:
- Loss or suspension of license
- Large fines
- Substance-abuse treatment
- Jail or prison time
- Community service
- Restitution
- Criminal record
- Restrictive probationary license programs, including ignition interlock devices and Cinderella licenses
In addition, the social stigma and effect on your career may have lifelong negative consequences.
Terminology and Elements of Drunk Driving
The offense of drunk driving goes by a variety of names among the states, including:
- Driving under the influence (DUI)
- Driving while intoxicated (DWI)
- Operating under the influence (OUI)
- Operating while intoxicated (OWI)
- Driving under the influence of intoxicants (DUII)
- Driving while under the influence (DWUI)
- Driving while ability impaired (DWAI)
- Driving under the influence of drugs (DUID)
In the language of the various state statutes, a drunk-driving conviction requires driving or operating a vehicle or motor vehicle. While that sounds straightforward, a review of drunk-driving cases shows otherwise.
Driving Requirement
The requirement of driving or operating implies that the driver must have some sort of control or command of the vehicle. Guilt or innocence may hang on whether the defendant was actually "driving" in a particular circumstance. What if he or she was just sitting behind the wheel of a car but it was turned off? What if the defendant was sleeping there? What if the keys were in the defendant's pocket and not in the ignition? What if that car was out of gas and could not be started? What if it was idling? What if it was being towed? Courts nationwide have considered various scenarios to determine whether the necessary control over the vehicle was present and the outcomes vary by state and by the individual circumstances.
Vehicle Requirement
Cars, trucks and vans are obviously considered to be vehicles for drunk-driving law purposes. However, people have been convicted of drunk driving while operating motorboats, mopeds, dirt bikes, snowmobiles, electric wheelchairs, golf carts, bicycles and ATVs, although the types of vehicles contemplated differ by state.
One way prosecutors prove driver intoxication is through scientific testing of the amount of alcohol in the body, usually by analyzing the breath or blood. These tests are usually administered by machines, such as the Breathalyzer® or Intoxilyzer 5000. In every state, a person with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) over 0.08 is considered legally intoxicated. However, even a BAC over .05 is enough to convict for a DUI in some states.
If a person takes advantage of the privilege of driving, he or she automatically consents to state-administered chemical testing to determine his or her BAC. If a driver refuses to take a chemical-alcohol test, his or her driver's license may be revoked or suspended.
BAC test results over the legal limit are usually presumed to be proof of intoxication. However, defendants may challenge the conclusiveness of the results by showing irregularities in the test administration procedure or problems with the test equipment. For example, your lawyer may advise retesting of your blood sample tubes. He or she may be able to obtain exclusion of the original blood test results from the case or even dismissal of the case entirely.
Other types of evidence used by prosecuting attorneys to show intoxication include drivers' statements, witness and police observations of behavior and driving patterns and circumstantial evidence. An example of possibly relevant circumstantial evidence is that a defendant, before driving, spent the afternoon at a party where drinking games were played.
Police also gather important evidence of intoxication by administering standard field sobriety tests (FSTs) at the scenes of traffic stops. Common field sobriety tests include:
- Finger-to-nose test
- One-legged stand
- Walk-and-turn test
- Horizontal-gaze-nystagmus test
- Picking up coins
- Counting backwards
- Reciting the alphabet
- Throwing and/or catching a ball
Defendants may challenge the validity of FST results by showing irregularities in the test administration procedure or other problems with the test.

The item was aimed at Las Vegas prep power Bishop Gorman. The private Catholic school has won 17 state championships since 2006 in boys and girls basketball, football and baseball, leading to an outcry from the state's public schools that they are no longer on an even playing field with the Gaels' athletic program.
After some public comments, pointed words from Board of Control members and a question-and-answer period with Bishop Gorman President John Kilduff, the NIAA ultimately decided Tuesday to form a committee that can study competitive balance and look for solutions to end Bishop Gorman's power play in the major sports over the last five-plus years.
"I'm glad to get the issue out in the open," NIAA Executive Director Eddie Bonine said. "We need to address Bishop Gorman High School.
"This wasn't for show … With the exception of maybe some creative scheduling, something is probably not going to happen for 2012-13. It's going to take awhile. In the meantime, what do we do between now and then."
Last month, Bonine met with Bishop Gorman leaders and asked them to consider an Associate Membership for Gaels sports teams, a status which would not allow them to compete for state championships. In a letter to the NIAA last week, Kilduff said his school had no interest in changing its membership status
However, in Tuesday's meeting Kilduff did say he understands the NIAA's concerns with his school and that Gorman leaders are open to discussing options that will promote competitive balance. At meeting's end, Kilduff seemed upbeat about the proceedings.
"I think it well," he said. "We're hoping for an open dialogue about creating competitive balance … We're hopeful for solutions toward that and being part of a committee that can contribute to that."
Bonine and NIAA Board of control President Bob Sullivan, the principal at Reno High School, will select the committee, which is expected to be comprised of representatives from Gorman, the state's other private schools, NIAA Board members and possibly even consultants from outside the state.
While Kilduff openly answered questions about Bishop Gorman's tuition assistance program and its stance on recruiting, it was clear resentment around the state exists against the Gaels' athletic department.
Washoe County School District Coordinator of Athletics Ken Cass wrote a letter in December on behalf of his district's athletic directors, voicing their frustrations with Gorman's ascent to state super power. Cass likened Gorman's 40-point romp over Hug in last month's 4A state hoop tournament championship game to taking a plastic spoon, not even a knife, to a gunfight.
Cass stressed that he felt Kilduff was honest in his answers to questions Tuesday but stopped well short of believing Gorman cleared up all negative perceptions about its athletic programs.
"I really enjoyed their school President," Cass said. "I thought he did a good job in a tough situation. He was open and forthright. But I'm not sure he really knows what's going on in athletics. I do think there are some "head-in-the-sand" issues. Another issue that I don't know if we really got to and is totally independent, is private sponsorship."
Cass was alluding to the idea of a Gorman booster paying the tuition of a gifted athlete that comes from a financially-strapped family that would not otherwise be able to afford the private school's tuition. NIAA attorney Paul Anderson asked Kilduff if his school addressed or discouraged the private sponsorship issue with coaches and boosters. Kilduff said it is discussed but did not elaborate further.
Clark County Director of Athletics Ray Mathis said frustrations with Gorman are at an all-time high among Las Vegas public schools, adding some southern Nevada principals are considering forfeiting games against Gorman in protest.
"When it gets to the point that principals would rather forfeit games than get kids hurt, than it becomes time for the (NIAA) Board to get involved," Mathis said. "This is a small state. We have to have all of our members come to the table to work toward a solution that works for everybody."
A solution that works for everybody may not be feasible. Palo Verde boasts some of the top athletic programs in the state, but even it has been on the losing end of lopsided scores to Gorman in recent years.
"The bottom line is this, we have different goals for our athletic programs," Palo Verde Principal and NIAA Board of Control member Dan Phillips said. "Athletics are an extra curricular activity in public schools. They (Bishop Gorman) have goals of nation recognition, competing for national rankings. I've said it before. If they want to be a national power and be on ESPN, I'll cheer for them every time. But it's detestable to see them play (national power) Servite on ESPN one week and see them going out to Pahrump the next. We're just done being the tackling dummy for their preparations.
"They say the success is cyclical, but I see a 6-11 freshman on the (basketball team's) bench. I see seven coaches on the bench for 15 players and then I have to find a way to pay an assistant coach with a gift card, which cannot exceed $50 I might add. We are done."
Bonine said no time will be wasted forming a committee and getting that group together to brainstorm ideas on how to improve competitive balance without completely alienating Bishop Gorman.
"We'll definitely have some ideas by the next meeting, in June," Bonine said. "We can't let this continue to fester. We've got to strike while the iron's hot or whatever adage you want to use. We'll get on this."

Davidson grateful for Cowdenbeath spell
St Johnstone midfielder Murray Davidson is indebted to the experience gained at Cowdenbeath which helped turn him into a Scotland international as he prepares for Saturday's William Hill Scottish Cup fourth-round clash at Central Park.
The 24-year-old spent a spell on loan with the Blue Brazil in the 2006-07 season and knows the Central Park pitch, which is circled by a stock car racing track, better than most of his Saints team-mates.
``It's old school,'' said Davidson, who made his Scotland debut in Luxembourg earlier this month. ``It was seven or eight games I played. It was good for me. It stands you in good stead going to places like that as a young boy.
``I think more young boys should be put out to lower division teams. It shows you it's not all about coming in and getting mollycoddled.
``You've got to go out there, work hard and see what it's like in the lower leagues.
``I enjoyed my time there, even though it was only in seven or eight games. It stands you in good stead.''
Cowdenbeath met Clydesdale Bank Premier League opposition in the Scottish Cup fourth round last season, losing 3-2 to Hibernian.
Saints enter the clash after a frenzied finale on Wednesday night saw them lose 1-0 to Hibs in SPL action at McDiarmid Park.
Davidson, whose game is based on hard graft, is pleased the opportunity to put the loss behind them will come quickly.
``It's good in a way because you come from a Wednesday night game, such a low, and you can't dwell on it,'' he said.
``You're back in first thing in the morning for a big game against Cowdenbeath in the Scottish Cup.''
Davidson was at Livingston when he played for the Fife club and moved to Perth in 2008 after two seasons in which Saints reached the Scottish Cup semi-final, losing to either side of the Old Firm.
In 2010-11 Saints advanced to the last four, but lost 3-0 to Motherwell, and last season they were beaten in extra-time by eventual winners Hearts.
Davidson added: ``The last few years we've been trying to get a cup run and we're under no illusions it's going to be tough. It's a tough place to go.''
Saints will be without Davidson's fellow midfielder David Robertson after the former Dundee United player suffered a broken leg against Hibs.
Davidson added: ``The boys will get round him. We wish him a speedy recovery.''
Captain Dave Mackay is suspended following his straight red card against Hibs, while manager Steve Lomas will watch from the stands after being handed an eight-match touchline ban.
Injuries hit Blue Brazil cup hopes
Cowdenbeath player/manager Colin Cameron will delay selecting his side from an injury-ravaged squad until the latest possible moment.
Cameron is without Scott Linton, Greg Stewart and Liam Cusack, while five other players, including himself, face late fitness tests.
Captain Joe Mbu, Dean Brett, Marc McKenzie, Lewis Coult and Cameron have not trained properly this week and the Blue Brazil boss will finalise his line-up at the 11th hour.
Cameron said: ``I watched St Johnstone winning against Hibs in midweek and I know that they can actually play better than they did in that game.
``They're favourites, but we have to make the most of clubs not liking playing on our narrow pitch. We gave Hibs a real fright last season and we will look to repeat that.''

Positively Beautiful: Coming clean about cleansingThose who've ever had a colonoscopy know that "preparing" the colon by cleaning out the solids is the worst part. We were just not designed to go to the bathroom that much! But you often see "colon cleanses" being touted on the internet and through health clubs. It's not new: Through history, physical and spiritual cleansing practices often involved special foods and/or fasting, along with meditation or prayer.

Kristina is one of my favourite people on the internet, who is always up to something interesting. Whether it's capturing the styles of Austin and New York City over at her street style blog The Rebel Waltz, chronicling her own daily outfits, or contributing to Bust Magazine, her optimistic approach to fashion will make you want to play dress up.
How did you dress in high school?
I went to an all-girls uniform-clad high school, so my options were limited. I wore lots of big, crazy earrings and bracelets to try to "express myself" during the week. I think I got in trouble pretty regularly for my fabulously tacky accessories! On the weekend, I experimented more with things like hot pink fishnets, cut up band tees, and funky skirts. I think by senior year my style evolved into something similar to what it is now — more vintage oriented. I do find it funny that years later I've reverted to wearing saddle shoes and loafers of my own free will all over again.
Is there a dress code at your internship? Have you ever had to "tone down" your wardrobe for work?
No, thankfully I've been lucky when it comes to working and interning in non-corporate dressing environments. Sometimes I can feel overdressed or even costume-y, but people are usually pretty complimentary, especially in NYC, which is where all my internships have been. I felt more overdressed going to college classes in Texas. I definitely remember trying to tone it down a bit there. I tried to only break out the pill box hats and cat eyes on the weekend.

"I used this for my GIRL because we had a fourth of Juy baby. We all wore red in our family photo. I wished Tiny Prints offered announcements for girls that had other colors than pink. So, I searched in the BOY category and found THIS card which worked GREAT for our red outfits and tying in our theme. I would encourage parents to search all announcemens and Tiny Prints to offer more "Gender neutral" announcements."
"The first time I ordered these, the writing in white font at 15 pt was too small to read well on the bottom, The excellent customer service and design specialists helped me slect the text in Navy, at 17 pts on the bottom and largest on the top and it came out great! I am very happy with them, and would suggest using a darker font."
"I absolutely loved how easy the birth announcement was to create. It came out beautifully. I was worried about the quality of the paper, because you never know when your ordering online, but I was very impressed! More than I could have asked for, especially for the price!"

(LONDON) Roll Call: Manolo Blahnik
Chic Report: The classic (dare we say stuffy?) British brand's 150-year-old heritage--i.e., outfitting the military and many an aristocratic grande dame--was so due for an update. Co-designers Graeme Fidler and Michael Herz successfully sexed things up by adding sumptuous fabrics, interesting shapes and a striking color palette. There was a parade of statement coats, from Liya Kebede's opening look, an African fabric-embellished oversized wool coat, to the Crayola crimson bouclé jacket and a genius, puff-sleeved trench. But it wasn't just about outerwear--there were tons of standout dresses, too, including a trio of color-blocked frocks in electric orange, fuchsia, purple, and green, a fabulous LBD with floral embroidery, and a lemon-yellow sheath with red flourishes.

In his first interview with The Record-Courier back in 1979, Dr. Greg Betts was wearing a Hawaiian shirt. He was moving into his new offices after being hired away from Berryessa, Calif.
For a guy with a doctorate, Betts was a pretty regular guy, who'd experienced just about every kind of education there was during his 81 years on this Earth.
His first learning years were spent in a one-room school house in Depression-era central Pennsylvania. He went to high school, participated in sports and then joined the U.S. Army.

Tomball, TX

So much easier without the big agitator in the middle!!! And love that it senses to know the water level. I will mention that you can hear it doing this as I saw some mention the sound. But I do not even notice it any more. Clothes are always clean and the spin does a great job of getting out excess water. Have really enjoyed having this machine!
Greenville, NC
via sears.com
Pros: I decided to test my shiny new washer with three of my daughter's treasured possessions: her pink blanket (which the old washer's agitator all but destroyed), her stuffed polar bear (who is also a victim of Agitatoritis), and a pair of her favorite, but daycare-stained, shoes. I also followed up with a load of sheets, almost immediately. All of them came out clean (no issues with lint, as others reported) or lingering soap. As far as I can tell, all the stains came out of the polar bear -- which was looking downright grey even after two washes in the old washer -- and he is his normal, white blending-in-arctic tundra self. Thank goodness! I also managed to knock out some long-lasting stains from my "freshly dyed hair" pillowcases. Bye bye, pink and purple stains! Maybe our old washer sucked, but this is a definite improvement from my old Maytag (which was brand new in 2007). I loved that machine, but I didn't realize how dingy my whites were coming out until I could compare it to my new machine! If anything changes, as far as my review is concerned, I'll follow-up with another review in a month or two! Cons: 1) It is loud. Maybe I am spoiled from the rhythmic thunk-thunk-thunk of my older, traditional washer's spin cycle, but this one took some getting used to. It is loud -- not so much as to disturb me but, so far, I am constantly aware of it in the background, kind of like a dishwasher can be obnoxiously loud. Maybe that'll improve as I grow accustomed to it, though. 2) The curved top. Man, that is bad design. It looks pretty, sure, but I live in a postage stamp and need all the space I can get. The top of my dryer always held stuff for laundry, like hangers for things I'd hang dry, but everything just wiggles off the top of it during the wash/dry process. The noise and the curved top are enough to make me knock a star off because, in a small apartment, they can be dealbreakers! If I didn't want to take a step back into a machine with an agitator, I'd probably return them for this reason.
Toms River, NJ
The first couple of times we used this washer it worked fine. I was not happy to see that a normal wash takes 1 hour. There is no such thing as a small load.....everything takes an hour. The racket sound that comes from the machine can be heard on the second floor of my house and the laundry room is in my basement. No agitator does not mean more room. A queen size comforter will not fit like the salesman assured me it would. This machine is not worth the money. I would not recommend this at all. Very disappointed!
Jefferson, GA

Just bought this washer in Januar 2014,and so far I do like the way the washer cleans. It uses minimal amounts of water, yet seems to clean just fine. I use the He soap and find I need less of that too. As others have stated, it is pretty loud during it's operation- Much louder than my older model. But it doesn't tear my clothes as stated in other reviews. You must follow directions as far as loading, but otherwise this washer works well. I put up with the noise because it does a good job.
Anaheim, CA

Do not purchase this machine if you have very dirty items to wash. It's a great machine but it needs the agitator. All my whites come back half dirty and that's no good. I'm going to return it.
Lake Forest, CA
via sears.com
This is my first time using a washer with no agitator and this makes loading it a breeze. Yes, it makes some interesting noises and that does take some getting used to. However, the wash comes out very clean. It has many different types of cycles - hot, warm, cool, and tap temperature, three different spin speeds - and it uses only the water it needs to do the load. I do not know what is up with the people that have had issues with lint and such as I have not seen this. Great product and I recommend it.
Round Rock, TX
via sears.com
Very disappointed in this washer. I had a Kenmore W&D for 20 years- yes TWENTY years- that worked perfectly. I was being pro-active and bought new- bad mistake. I wish I had my old W&D back. This washer takes 45 minutes for delicate cycle when my old washer took 15 min. (and they call this energy efficient?) As I write this- I have a service man out for a second time trying to figure out why it wont drain, spin. The lid lock is frustrating. The cycles take entirely too long and as far as design- the top is slanted so you cant place anything on top of it or it will slide off.
Canby, OR
Absolutely the worst machine ever. Goes out of balance if one sock is added. Very very noisy and sloooowww. Shredded one sheet already. When it spins, it twists any sock, strings into a nightmare with anything else. Jeans even when only washing with other jeans takes a couple of extra spins to ready them for the dryer. Tried to talk with "support".. "Sorry customer, that is the way the machine works." They told me to re-balance the load, yes I do that, every time I try to do laundry!! Several times a load. !! You won't believe how loud it is. Sears will not take it back and only a few weeks old. High efficiency, I believe in saving water and power, amen!! but the machine could be designed at half the water and do great. Kenmore and Sears really don't care about the reviews, I hope someone reads this.
Rochester, NY

I returned this washer and bought a front load washer. I had a jacket and coat that I had washed and they came out full of fine lint. In addition, the washer was louder then I expected. I could hear it running from the basement up in the living room. My old washer was never that loud.
via sears.com
We are very disappointed with this washer. It is very loud and makes a lot of racket and noise, but the biggest disappointment is that the clothes are just not getting clean even when we put it on second rinse. I have tried everything and wash my whites on hot with the right amount of detergent and they do not get clean. For instance, I always have a little bit of mascara on my pillowcase when I wash it once a week. It has always come out in the wash before, but not with the new washer. And there seems to be like a dusty lint on the sheets. I don't like it at all. I want to go back to the washer with the agitator and fills up with enough water to clean my clothes. :-(

NORTH SIMCOE – The Georgian Bay Snowriders will mount up for a second straight year on Feb. 9 for the Snowmobile Ride for Dad in support of the fight against prostate cancer.
The ride in support of prostate cancer research and awareness will bring together snowmobilers from across north Simcoe. Participants are asked to register at the Knights of Columbus Hall (17 Poyntz St., Penetanguishene) between 8:30 and 10:30 a.m. The trail ride will begin at 11 a.m.
The registration fee is $30, which includes the ride and dinner. Riders who collect $100 or more in pledges, however, will have the fee waived.
The 2012 event raised approximately $3,000 through donations, rider pledges, and corporate and private sponsorships.
Prostate cancer is the most common men's cancer in Canada. Successful treatment depends on early detection, and the Snowmobile Ride for Dad is designed to give men a reason to talk about getting a prostate exam.
Complete ride details are available online at www.GeorgianBaySnowriders.com.

Quarterly Results Overview Video
Caterpillar Group President and Chief Financial Officer Brad Halverson discusses in this video the company's fourth quarter and year-end 2013 results.
"In such a challenging environment, I am proud of the way our employees came together in 2013. Despite a sales and revenues decline of about $10 billion, we set a record for operating cash flow, strengthened our balance sheet and improved our overall market position for machines. We continued to improve safety in our facilities and the quality of the products we ship each day," said Caterpillar Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Doug Oberhelman. "Cost flexibility is critical to our strategy and was a significant focus in 2013 as we took substantial actions to help maintain profitability as sales declined. Excluding the impact of cost absorption our manufacturing costs and SG&A and R&D expenses were favorable by $1.2 billion compared with 2012. It wasn't easy, especially for our employees who endured an incredibly tough year, but the actions we initiated helped us deliver strong operational performance in 2013.
"We are pleased with the continued growth in our earning assets and the solid performance of our portfolio during 2013," said Kent Adams, president of Cat Financial and vice president with responsibility for the Financial Products Division of Caterpillar Inc. "With our ongoing focus on expanding our ability to serve Caterpillar customers globally through financial services excellence, we remain well positioned to serve the needs of Caterpillar, Cat dealers and our growing customer base worldwide."

Michael Chiklis: Hollywood Survivor
After a controversial film and five Years as TV's "Commish," Michael Chiklis's next challenge Is Convincing Producers He's younger than his roles
Susan Karlin
From the Print Edition:
Vince McMahon, Nov/Dec 99
(continued from page 3)
Eventually, Chiklis found work in episodic television--"Miami Vice," "B.L. Stryker," "L.A. Law," "Murphy Brown"--crisscrossing the country before finally relocating to Los Angeles in 1991. It was during four episodes of "Wise Guy" that one of its writer-producers, Steve Kronish, noticed Chiklis's potential for a pilot he was writing called "The Commish," then slated for CBS.
As if the Wired saga wasn't enough, this second big break has its own tale of angst. Chiklis was all but cast until then-network chief Jeff Sagansky found out how young he was and nixed him. It was the last time Chiklis ever saw Sagansky. The show was shelved and was optioned by ABC later that year. But it wasn't until ABC suits spotted him in "Maverick Square," an ABC pilot that aired but never became a series, that they realized they had found the star of "The Commish."
"When my manager told me, I thought he was busting my chops," says Chiklis. "It took me a minute before I realized he was serious."
It was the second of two monumental changes in fortune for Chiklis within a short time. A few months before, Chiklis's buddies had dragged him to a party. The actor was on painkillers, recovering from a torn Achilles tendon from a basketball game gone bad and in no mood to party. A pretty actress named Michelle Epstein was dragged by her friends to the same party.
Chiklis was in his usual state--holding court--when Michelle spotted him. "He was the most electric person I'd ever seen in my life," she recalls. "I thought, 'Wow, who is that guy? I have to know him; and I'm going to marry him.' "
For Chiklis, Michelle was a wake-up call. "At the time, all I could think of was my career," he says. "Hurting my leg forced me to slow down. It was almost as though life was saying, 'You have to stop right now so you can meet this girl.'"
The two had been dating for four months when Chiklis landed "The Commish" role in 1991. The series was being shot in Vancouver, more than 1,000 miles from Los Angeles, and suddenly, the two were faced with the choices of breaking up, having a long-distance relationship, or Michelle moving to Vancouver. "And, leap of faith, she came with me," Chiklis says, still amazed at her moxie. They married the following year. "And all those friends who took us to the party are still single," he says with a laugh. "So if someone tries to drag you somewhere, just go."
"Everybody thought I was crazy to move, but I knew," says Michelle. "Of course, I had to train him a little. He was the ultimate caveman. He could have had a club in his hand. He grew up in a house with guys and didn't understand about women--things like presents, birthdays, acknowledgments. After a while, he was like, 'Wow, this is kind of cool.' Now he wakes up in the morning and says, 'Let's go to Fred Segal today and go shopping!' "
The taming continued when their first child, Autumn Isabella, was born in 1993. "There's something about a father and a daughter," Chiklis says. "When I saw her coming out of her mother and realized she was a girl, I thought, 'Oh, fuck. I'm dead.' My knees buckled. That was it. I knew I was a slave forever.
"I look at her and see myself without all the fuckups, without all the stuff that's gone wrong. I'm fiercely protective of her. People say, 'Just wait till she's 13.' I don't wanna hear that--[when she goes through adolescence] and rebels. Cause I'm going to do everything in my power to avoid that. I'm going to be the coolest dad I can possibly be. So hopefully, she'll care what I think. It's a fine line. Discipline's very important, but so is staying young with them, listening to them, enjoying them."

FIRST THOUGHTS: 39th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards
* The HLN telecast was the best in years, but at times wasn't very entertaining. The show added nine new awards but no extra time (although it did run over a bit). It seemed a bit rushed at times and a bit boring at others.
* Having produced the Indie Soap Awards earlier this year, I can not say enough about the importance of showing clips of the nominated shows and actors. The team from PRETTY The Series put together our clip packages and it made the show. It would have made this a three-hour show but HLN is repeating it all night anyway.
* I was thrilled to hear ALL MY CHILDREN and ONE LIFE TO LIVE would be given tributes but I expected nice montages versus having three actors speak eloquently about them for several minutes, even if two of those actors were Susan Lucci and Erika Slezak. Those "tributes" didn't make me miss the shows like a beautiful montage would have.
* If Jill Farren Phelps produced the Outstanding Daytime Drama, and the DAYS OF OUR LIVES writers were the Oustanding Writing Team, why were they all fired from their positions?
* Why did they show a clip of Tim Gibbs with Erika Slezak during the Outstanding Directing Team award? It certainly wasn't from last year or any recent year.
* When Oscar the Grouch opened the show telling us why he doesn't like Daytime, I was worried that Wayne "I didn't write this crap" Brady had taken over the show again.
* I picked six Daytime Drama winners correctly. I usually do much worse.
* Bill Geddie seems like a fine and successful man, but I would have rather seen a number of daytime legends awarded with the Lifetime Achievement Award first (perhaps starting with the never awarded Beverlee McKinsey).
* I applaud the producers for making this all about Daytime. There were hits and misses but they did an adequate job with less than the usual time.
Now it's your turn. Tell us what you thought about the show, the winners, the outfits, or anything else Daytime Emmys related.

Nice article. IMO, the music was horrible. The titles looked like they were from an old CG from my college TV production class. The memorium was decent- at least we got photos. The "Thank You" at the end of it was odd though. Susan Lucci seemed stiff. Happy for Chandler Massey. And I thought it was great Twitter was jumping with related tweets and #DaytimeEmmys was the top trend for an hour or two.ReplyDelete
Thanks for mentioning the In Memoriam. I was so happy that was added back this year. I need to rewatch because it seemed to be missing several though.ReplyDelete
Prospect Park probably wouldn't allow use of the clips.ReplyDelete
Lucci seemed to make it about Susan/Erica.
Was the show perfect? No--but it was MILES better than last year. I thought, for the most part, it celebrated all of daytime--soaps, talk and informational shows. I know HLN was given very little time to prepare for this show, I would really like to see what they do with more time. All in all, a HUGE imporvement.ReplyDelete
I am glad I even got to see the Awards since I don't have cable. I watched on an online feed, which was probably a dodgy live-stream from goodness knows where, but I did get to see the show.ReplyDelete
I guess with the short time that HLN had, they tried but I wonder why they couldn't get any clips for the tributes when they had clips scattered all over their website? I know these were mostly You Tube clips but considering their partnership with AOL, couldn't they have had some type of contest for tech savvy fans to upload clips talking about what these shows mean to them. Perhaps they wouldn't have the time to get together the clips (or even the permission to get the clips) for a sweeping montage but it's hard to believe that P&G nor ABC would refuse something for a tribute for these shows. Oh well...
I got this strange feeling while watching that HLN was at once trying to diminish the importance of Daytime Drama to the TV landscape (which considering the fact that there are only 4 soaps left on TV, is not hard to comprehend) while simultaneously courting the soap fans to watch the show. At least they made the effort and while I was on Twitter and noticed that the Daytime Emmys were trending in the Top 3 the entire length of the show, I thought HLN had helped to prove in some way that a significant number of still care about the genre (no offense to the court shows and the game shows but I still believe the majority of people who tuned in did so for the Soaps).
The music was Abysmal, if I were there, I'd have begged Debbie Gibson to compose some music for next year (assuming there will be a broadcast next year) as she knows how to pen a catchy tune or two.
I can now see why awards shows need hosts! A host ideally can keep a show moving along, vamp for time when there would otherwise be a lull and pull disparate threads of the show together by creating segues.
Boy do I miss the likes of Kim Zimmer, Martha Byrne and some of the soap personalities of soaps past! I found myself watching a few clips on YT earlier today of past Award winners and their speeches and I saw Kim Zimmer's zany acceptance speech from 1985 and boy, those were lively times! And when watching this broadcast, it really hit me that several of the stars that I found so utterly entertaining were not there.
By the way, was Anthony Herrera (James Stenbeck) included in the In Memoriam montage??
Cheers: HLN for televising the ceremony and doing its part to promote and celebrate daytime. The focus was on DAYTIME and not Las Vegas for example.ReplyDelete
In need of improvement: That music played over and over got real old real fast - they needed a variety of music cues - like how about playing the theme from the appropriate show when it won an award? Needed more clips/montages and alas the winners of the Creative Arts Awards weren't named onscreen again this year.
Jeers: National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences. As great as it was to still have the ceremony televised, by the time it was over viewers were well reminded of the "Dirty Little Secret" about the Daytime Emmys - the nomination/judging process has been so severely messed up for years that the actual nominations and especially the winners are often a major joke - that's as much a reason the major networks have shied away from them as daytime's fade from glory; the Daytime Emmys have lost their relevancy because the actual awards themselves have lost their value. Too many upsets and all out snubs. I'm glad the awards were still televised but i came away from the show feeling like i just got home from a DISASTEROUS blind date! NATAS severely needs to get their act together. And don't even get me started on that bare-bones, table-scrap "you call THAT a tribute?" tribute to Amc/Oltl which should have been the highlight of the entire ceremony.
Tonight's show was painful to watch at times tonight, but at least it wasn't like it has been the last couple of years.ReplyDelete
Eric Braeden's (Victor; Y&R) German accent really showed tonight. YIKES! No wonder people call him, Mr. Mumbles.
I worry about Anthony Geary's (Luke; GH) job status now after he took a nasty jab at ABC with his tongue-in-cheek joke when he won the Lead Actor Emmy. I thought it was a great way to start the night.
Roger, I think we can be happy that Wayne "I didn't write this crap" Brady was no where to be seen tonight. I think he knows he's persona non grata with the Daytime Community after his tasteless and tacky jokes and jabs at Susan Lucci and the casts of All My Children and One Life To Live after they were all told by ABC that they would be out of jobs by the end of September of 2011 and January 2012 respectively.
I don't know about the rest of you, but the biggest upset of the night for me was when Days won for Outstanding Drama Series Writing Team. I did not expect that one at all. I literally gasped when Days was announced. I was just happy that Y&R didn't win it again this year. The other upset, a more mild one if you will was when Heather Tom (Katie; B&B) took home the Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series. I think everyone had their eggs in Erica Slezak's basket and I'm sure the bookies lost a lot of money tonight.
As someone so perfectly pointed out on another message board, this was by far Y&R's worst showing at any Daytime Emmy Awards in recent memory. Out of the 12 or 13 or 14 Emmy noms they had, they only got 4. Three Creative Craft and Christel Khalil (Lily; Y&R) finally winning for Younger Actress. I really believe that this year was a major indictment on Maria Arena Bell and her horrible leadership at Y&R and her less than dismal writing. I'm hoping the big wigs at CBS and Sony will finally realize that it's time for MAB, SH, and HS to go and bring in some fresh writing blood in the form of Kay Alden and Jack Smith and rehire Ed Scott as EP. It is those three people that fans want back at Y&R and fast before this show sinks even further into the abyss.
Susan Lucci looked rather uncomfortable up on that stage tonight, practically hanging on to the microphone as if to prop herself up so that she doesn't fall. Like most everyone else, I was extremely disappointed that there was no video montage tributes to both shows. But given the short amount of time that HLN had to work with, I'm not surprised.
Like LLB said, the show was not perfect. But I do agree again, MUCH, MUCH better than last year! I'm very happy that even though HLN had very little time to put this show together, they really did celebrate daytime, which is what this awards ceremony was and should be about, not some Vegas commercial crap.
I don't get it. John Wesley Shipp should have been nominated for Supporting Actor(and won). Erika Slezak should have won (nothing against Heather). ONE LIFE should have been nominated (and won). It was way more superior than GENITAL HOSPITAL. Now, would someone explain to me why that whiny, screechy twit Christel Khalile won for Younger Actress? I don't get it. Jacqueliene Wood (Steffy, B&B) was way better than Khalile.ReplyDelete
This was the first time in several years I was excited about the Daytime Awards and actually watched it. The show did have its highs and lows but what awards show doesn't? We must thank and applaud HLN for airing the show. With the short amount of time they had to plan and prepare they did a fabulous job. For those who have experienced having to put together an event on short notice we can appreciate the efforts. I'm sure if HLN had more time there would have been improvements. Kudos to you, HLN, and we fans appreciate it!ReplyDelete
The greatest parts of the night was when zings went to the higher ups (Tony Geary was the best). We can all pray it hit them where it counts.
Still don't understand what Viral Video has to do with daytime. Couldn't there be a more appropriate category in its place or just have one less category?
The part that aggravated me most was the music. It sounded so much like a kid's toy where the parents are happy when the kid doesn't play with it any longer just because of the noise. If I had a music mute on my tv, I would have pressed it.
I've always thought it an honor to have the "In Memoriam." How great and sad at the same time. They will be missed.
Most of us can agree the biggest disappointment was the tribute to All My Children and One Life to Live. Nothing against Cameron Mathison but why was he on stage with Susan Lucci and Erika Slezak? These ladies were the "matriarchs" of their respective shows and rightly so to be representatives. If he HAD to be on, they could have had him introduce the ladies instead or be a presenter for a category. Couldn't Erika Slezak have more speaking time than giving all to Cameron Mathison and Susan Lucci?
No, I didn't agree with all who won. There were some more deserving than others. Can any of us agree with all who win? Impossible unless you're the one choosing the winners.
Again, thank you HLN and kudos to you! Let us all give a standing ovation to HLN and their efforts to help support the genre. **Applause Applause**
The show was better then the vegas disaster *shudders at memories* However it definitely had its faults. I didn't like the tribute, it was just as bad as the puny one atwt was given prior. at least atwt had a montage, AMC and OLTL have such a rich history there should have been some kind of montage and a better dedication to them. They were cornerstones at ABC for a long time after all.ReplyDelete
I agree, Roger, that the lifetime achievement award should have gone to some soap vets who , I have nothing against Bill GEddie though. I think the only categories i agreed with the winners were for Tony, Chandler and JJ. all three of them deserved their accolades. I have nothing against Heather Tom but I agree that ERika should have won for best actress. Actually i am glad Nancy won best supporting actress as well it was about time on that one. I'm glad the memorandum was back, though i think they did miss some people.

Shared Parenting Services Encourage Cooperation in the Child Support Process
Shared Parenting Services Encourage Cooperation in the Child Support Process by Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott Children deserve the security that comes from knowing both parents love and care for them. Even when parents live apart which is true for 1.4 million children on the child support caseload it is important that they work together for the good of their children. Studies have found that noncustodial parents who stay involved in their childrens lives are more likely to make regular child support payments. Studies also indicate that children whose parents pay child support have fewer behavior problems, make better grades and stay in school longer than children who do not receive regular child support. To promote healthy families, the Office of the Attorney General (OAG) offers a variety of shared parenting services that encourage noncustodial parents involvement in their childrens lives. The OAGs Access and Visitation online directory lists programs across Texas that facilitate cooperative parenting after separation or divorce. Parents, counselors and other professionals can search the online directory by zip code, county or service provided. The directory is located in the child support section of the Attorney Generals website at www.texasattorneygeneral.gov. The Attorney Generals statewide Access and Visitation Hotline is the only service of its kind in the nation that provides noncustodial and custodial parents with free phone access to attorneys who provide legal information and assistance about child custody, along with information about visitation, paternity and child support matters. Hotline attorneys do not represent parents or offer legal advice. Rather, they provide basic legal information and education about establishing paternity, the child support process and a parents legal authority to see his or her child. The hotlines toll free number, (866) 292-4636, is answered in English and Spanish, Monday Friday from 1 to 7 p.m. Parents also can visit the hotlines companion website www.txaccess.org to obtain downloadable legal forms and examples for completing them. In 2011, hotline attorneys answered more than 29,000 phone calls and the website was viewed 55,000 times. Awarding grant funding to local organizations is another way the OAG can help children whose parents are engaged in custody or visitation disputes, since federal regulations do not allow the use of child support funding to handle these matters. In State Fiscal Year 2012, the OAG awarded more than $500,000 in federal access and visitation funding to private nonprofit organizations and local governments across Texas. Services provided under the grants include early intervention, co-parenting education, mediation and enforcement. Access and Visitation funding also makes it possible to develop public education material that promotes cooperative parenting. The materials are distributed through local courts, county domestic relations offices, OAG child support offices and community-based organizations. One example is the My Sticker Calendar: A Kids Guide to Shared Family Time that is available to parents establishing child support orders. This award-winning calendar is a tool for parents and children to track and plan time the child spends in each parents home. The calendar features artwork by children across the state. According to a national report, unmarried parents who receive Access and Visitation services pay an average of 33 percent more of the child support they owe than those who do not receive services. And increased child support collections benefit taxpayers too. The money that parents pay to support their children is money taxpayers arent spending to provide for these children. The Office of the Attorney General appreciates parents who work together to care for their children. Cooperative parenting is the key to strong and healthy Texas families. Points to Remember Shared Parenting Services The OAGs Access and Visitation Directory lists programs that facilitate cooperative parenting after separation or divorce. The searchable directory is available in the child support section of the OAG website at www.texasattorneygeneral.gov. The Access and Visitation Hotlines toll free number, (866) 292-4636, is answered in English and Spanish, Monday Friday from 1 to 7 p.m. Visit www.txaccess.org to obtain downloadable legal forms and directions for completing them. Although federal regulations do not allow the OAG to use child support funds to handle legal disputes about custody or visitation, limited special funding is available to assist in these matters. For more information on these programs, or to apply for child support services, call (800) 252-8014 or visit the Attorney Generals website, www.texasattorneygeneral.gov. Information on this and other topics is available on the Attorney Generals website at www.texasattorneygeneral.gov

We anticipate a stagnant Kolkata real estate market in 2013: Emami Realty CEOMar 7, 2013, 04:04PM IST
Featured Today
Kolkata real estate market is not amongst the most vibrant ones in the country. However, it has been witnessing a series of new launches across segments. City-based Emami Realty, part of the Emami Group is a well-known name in the city's real estate business. Sanjay Choudhary, CEO of Emami Realty shares the company's plans and his perspectives on real estate and talks to Ajay Modi.
Give us an overview of the Kolkata real estate market for the last calendar year. How does it look like in 2013?
The market was good in 2012 across both premium and affordable category in residential segment. However, the demand for commercial property was sluggish since there are no major industrial developments in West Bengal. In 2013, the market is likely to be stagnant due to lower demand for the luxury real estate in the city though the lower and mid-income housing demand is strong.
What will be the main triggers impacting the sector in 2013?
There is a positive trigger from the cheaper home loan rates. However, it is getting increasingly difficult to secure government approvals for new projects. Moreover, the rising cost of building materials remain a concern for developers.
Tell us about the progress in your Emami City project in North Kolkata.
The response here is more than our expectations. When we launched the project in mid 2011 the rate was Rs 3,400 per sq ft. It has now jumped to Rs 5,400. The project is on schedule and has been awarded to L&T. We hope to deliver it before time.
What are the other projects in Kolkata by Emami?
We are about to launch a project with the West Bengal state government in Rajarhat and two premium projects by ourselves at Theatre Road and James Long Sarani. Theatre Road project is expected to see high interest since there is no land available for new constructions.
Apart from Kolkata and Hyderabad what are the other cities where Emami is considering a real estate foray?
We are present in Jhansi (Uttar Pradesh) and construction will start soon. We are also in process of acquiring land for a project in Bhubaneswar.
What are the concerns of real estate industry in general?
While we face no problem in execution and marketing of a project, lack of government support and a land acquisition policy are biggest concerns. We have been taking it up with the government from time to time. Fluctuating raw material prices is also a concern.

I'm a firm believer that God doesn't cause bad things to happen to teach you a lesson. From my study of the bible I have resolved that bad things happen because people make bad decisions, this is a fallen world we live in, but God is there to get us through.
I'm learning a lot about how to resolve the questions if God is so loving, why is life so hard, by reading through Laura Story's devotional "What if your Blessings Come through Raindrops."
She writes, "Many of us believe wrongly that we're unworthy of God's love." I think it's because of mistakes we've made, or bad things that happen and we think God's doing it to punish us.
Laura writes, "there is nothing we could offer to earn the blessing of salvation. Yet we were in such desperate need of redemption that God being rich in mercy, showed us His love by sending Jesus to our rescue."
That's the blessing. The rescue.
"We're not only saved by grace, but the bible says we're sustained by grace." –Bill Hybels
