County officials: End felony arrests for prostitution to reduce jail crowding

All prostitution arrests would be misdemeanors in Cook County if prosecutors heed elected officials' call for a moratorium on felony charges — among other measures — to lower the increasing population at Cook County Jail.
With the Cook County jail nearing capacity, Cook County Commissioner Bridget Gainer, backed by Board President Toni Preckwinkle and several other commissioners, is asking State's Attorney Anita Alvarez to place a moratorium on charging suspected prostitutes with a felony.
After a single prostitution conviction, suspects can face a felony in a subsequent arrest, which Gainer calls "draconian."
"Most states in the country don't do it like we do it. Only eight states have a statute for felony prostitution — and Illinois is one of them," Gainer told the Sun-Times. "With the jail hitting its limits in population, it's incumbent for us to look at who actually needs to spend two months in jail awaiting trial," she said, noting her research shows the cost of jailing suspected prostitutes costs upwards of $9.5 million. "There are better options."
Under a resolution introduced Wednesday at the regular County Board meeting, officials are also urging the state Legislature to amend Illinois law and wipe the felony prostitution charge off the books.
Reached later in the day, Alvarez spokeswoman Sally Daly says her boss is backing the legislation but hadn't reviewed the moratorium proposal. For that reason, Daly declined to comment on the proposed moratorium.
The discussion comes as the County Jail grapples with a near-capacity jail.
According to Preckwinkle, the jail's population jumped to 10,008 detainees on Monday, "the highest we've had since March 2005," Preckwinkle said. The jail's capacity is about 10,150.
It was just under 10,000 on Wednesday, but Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart has expressed concern that it will exceed capacity come summer when arrests spike.
Preckwinkle has been banging the drum about sending suspects awaiting trial on non-violent crimes home under house arrest — or electronic monitoring — or handing them recognizance bonds, which allow defendants to be released without posting bail.
"Cook County puts too much focus on non-violent felonies," Preckwinkle said at a news conference Wednesday. "We're holding people in detention who ultimately will be sentenced to probation and released or have their charges against them dropped," Preckwinkle said.
"Cook County jail far exceeds the national percentage for people held pre-trial," she said, citing U.S. Department of Justice statistic showing 48 percent of suspects remain behind bars as their cases wind their way through court.
She said Dart has been given authority, by a federal court panel, to release up to 1,500 detainess on home electronic monitoring when the jail gets crowded; she says he's released just under 200. The judiciary, too, has the authority to order electronic monitoring, but has switched to a toothless recommendation, which as resulted in precipitous drop in those under house arrest.
"I would like the judges and the sheriff to do their duty," Preckwinkle said, adding that she wasn't exploring giving the sheriff added funding to keep more people behind bars. "There's no need for new beds at the jail."
Also contributing to the surge in population is a recent spike in arrests as well as an increase in the amount of time suspects spend behind bars as their cases wind through the justice system.
Dart spokesman Frank Bilecki said: "We are confident that President Preckwinkle's commitment to public safety is consistent with Sheriff Dart's. We must be clear that the issue is one of capacity within the jail. While electronic monitoring is one issue we are working with the judiciary on, it is not and will never be the solution to our current population pressures."
Chief Judge Tim Evans as he has in the past, said the duty of reducing the jail population lies squarely in the lap of the sheriff — and not something the judiciary should consider in court proceedings.
"According to Illinois law, the purpose of a bail hearing is for a judge to decide how best to ensure the return of the defendant to court and to protect public safety," Evans said in an emailed statement. "The purpose of a bail hearing is not to reduce the jail population."

Protesters block downtown streets over school closings
By Lauren FitzPatrick and Mitch Dudek Staff reporters March 27, 2013 4:03PM
Article Extras
Updated: April 29, 2013 11:58AM
Ruby Martinez showed up because Lafayette Elementary isn't just where she works or sends her own kids, it's her family.
Brandon Lee rode a bus to the rally, angry that his school whose doors are open seven days a week to students like him is closing.
And lunchlady Takeeva Thompson sat on the freezing asphalt of LaSalle Street "because children deserve to know somebody cares." That is until police removed her.
Protesters descended en masse onto Daley Plaza Wednesday to denounce a historic number of schools closing, mainly on Chicago's South and West Sides, an act that resulted in more than 100 protesters removed and ticketed.
Last week, schools chief Barbara Byrd-Bennett announced she wanted to close 54 schools and 61 school buildings come June. Wednesday morning, Mayor Rahm Emanuel held his ground, saying the consolidation is necessary and is going to happen.
The mayor called it intolerable that a school system with a 61 percent graduation rate for all students, graduates just 45 percent of black males.
"I understand and appreciate the difficulty. But, locking kids into a….school that, year-in and year-out, is failing their full potential — is unacceptable. It's unacceptable to those children and unacceptable to this city," he said.
Wednesday afternoon, thousands of people and several unions said they would not yet give up on the closings that will affect 30,000 students and 1,000 teachers.
As some protesters pounded on drums, hundreds of signs bobbed over heads clad in winter hats.
A Chicago flag with a teacher's twist — fourred apples instead of stars — fluttered overhead.
One man donned a gas mask because, he said, Emanuel's decision "really stinks."
The Bridges family skipped a spring break trip to Lake Geneva to support Betsy Ross Elementary where Aaliyah is a fifth grader and mom Versie volunteers daily. The family hopped a bus to the rally with at least 25 others from Ross and posed for photos before the speakers began, saying not "cheese" but "save our schools."
Brandon Lee rode with them because he's angry about losing a safe space where children can play.
"I'm mad," the 14 year old said. "It's open on weekends and we can go up and play ball," he said of Ross, explaining that neighborhood playground courts don't have rims and it's been too cold to play outside.
Ciera Wilson lives right near Ross. She'll have to walk blocks and blocks next year to Dulles for 8th grade.
She's said she's afraid what happened to "that girl Hadiyah" could happen to her, referring to the daylight shooting of Hadiyah Pendleton near her school. "My mom is going to be more stressed because I'll have to walk 12 blocks."
Elementary education expert and professor Bill Ayers — whose ties to President Obama sparked controversy beacuse of Ayers 1960s radicalism — was in the crowd in support of teachers and kids like his granddaughters who attend CPS schools.
"The assault on public education and abandonment of these communities has to be resisted," Ayers said. "How can we abandon public education at this point in history and move away from the one thing that's going to give people hope for the future, and that is a solid powerful education."
Ruby Martinez is heartbroken about Lafayette Elementary in Humboldt Park, home to more than 100 autistic children.
"It'd be very hard for our autistic students to change environments," said Martinez, 41, a teacher's assistant who also has kids at the school. "I'm hoping that Emanuel has a heart and keeps our school open."
Sharing a stage with several aldermen —Bob Fioretti (2nd), Ricardo Munoz (22nd) and John Arena (45th) — as well as the Rev. Jesse Jackson, CTU president Karen Lewis called the closings "racist."
"They are closing down schoolswith names of African American icons but he'll open schools to put a living billionaire on the front," Lewis said to a roaring crowd that booed every time she mentioned the mayor. Now there is "one set of schools for children who are learning to become greeters, another for children who are learning to rule the world."
Lewis called on the crowd to show up to their "real" school on the first day in August.
"It's not over, brothers and sisters, until you say it's over,"
In the thick of evening rush hour, the protesters began to march. Accompanied by Kelly High School Marching Band musicians, they looped around City Hall and stopped in front of the LaSalle Street entrance.
Some 150 people sat down in the cold street in rows, locking arms, knowing what would come next.
"I don't want children's schools to be closed, I don't want them to be harmed," said Sandra Stone of Rogers Park Neighbors for Public Schools, her legs straight out in front of her. "They came for our children and we're not going to let them get away with it."
A few rows away sat Kohn Elementary lunchlady Takeeva Thompson.
"These children deserve to know that someone cares," she said, adding that the mayor does not.
"We know he has given up on them and we will not. This is not the end."
Fifteen minutes after the first protester sat down, police began approaching them one by one in rows. Each was picked up by officers, calmly, and escorted through police lines past a row of officers on horseback to a barricaded area farther south on LaSalle Street. There they were lined up on the sidewalk against a building, parents and lunchladies, clergy members and teachers. Police later said they were ticketed.
By the time the march reached CPS headquarters at 125 S. Clark Wednesday evening, its numbers had dwindled, but Jackson, U.S. Rep. Bobby Rush and the CTU's Lewis remained.
"We want schools, not jails," Jackson said. "Open the schools, close the jails."
CPS officials remained inside; Chief Transformation Officer Todd Babbitz was briefly visible in the lobby. CEO Barbara Byrd-Bennett was nowhere to be seen. Instead she issued a statement:
"I fully support the rights of individuals to express their opinion and as a former teacher and principal who has lived through school closings, I know this is not easy for our communities," she wrote. "But as CEO of this district, I need to make decisions that put our children first. For too long, children at underutilized schools have been cheated of the resources they need to succeed."
By the end, Chicago Police officially put the crowds at 700 to 900 people, though a police department source at the scene estimated it at about 2,000 around the time the crowd began moving to City Hall.
CTU spokeswoman Stephanie Gadlin called the official police estimate "ridiculous" and said the union has "low estimates of 5,000 ourselves." But photographs of the crowd suggest that about 2,000 was the more likely figure.
"We're very upset that the police are estimating 700 people," Gadlin said. "It's part of their massive spin machine."
Bontemps Elementeray special education teacher Margo Murray was one of the protesters removed from LaSalle Street. She and the others were ticketed in the end for pedestrian failure to exercise due care, and were processed on a CTA bus.
"We wanted to make a statement about our schools closing that people would remember," the 57-year-old said. "I hope that more people will decide to get involved."

Automated Expertise
Jan 15, 2013 11:49 AM, By Cynthia Wisehart
Affordable DSP and expert programming transform a small church system.
Another key component was the Extron touchscreen processor, which allowed for a simple interface (and an upcoming iPad interface) and unified control of both the audio and video systems.
St. Lucy had existing racks for the old audio system as well as a video system that Zamar had installed several years prior (two Christie projectors that can be independently sourced via a TVOne dual output switcher/scaler). Zamar reorganized the racks and modernized them with Furman power conditioning and UPS (the new F1000-UPS) and Middle Atlantic temperature sensing fans. "It's really important with a digital system to have stable power, especially for the touchscreen," Dow notes. "And they had reported difficulty with power glitches in the past."
Dow liked the performance of the Audix podium and choir mics, which improved gain before feedback. "The microphones had to perform very well with all the different types of readers," Dow says. "So between the mic performance and the programming we were able to support that range."
"One of the features of a Catholic service is a lot of microphones are open at the same time," Dow explains. "Which can be challenging with an operator, much less without one. We spent days bringing up mics until we got it nailed down, where we had balanced all the microphones and provided good tonal characteristics while eliminating feedback. We made it through Christmas holidays with no EQ or volume issues and no complaints." "That's huge," Wentz interjects.
Additional help came from an Optogate device with an IR sensor that shuts the mic off when someone walks away from the podium. The improvement was truly astounding even to the casual listener," Dow says, because the band was no longer competing with two open podium mic; he estimates there was a 60 to 70 percent increase in intelligibility. "You might ask why we didn't just put a gate inside the Symetrix. The problem is they're volume sensitive, so they can come on with other sounds in the room. The Optogate physically shuts off the mic as opposed to electronically. It senses the proximity of a warm body and turns the mic either on or off."
For wireless, Dow went with Shure's ULXD4Q quad-channel digital wireless receiver and mics. Using the Wireless Workbench from Shure, Dow says they succeeded in completely eliminating what had been a lot of RF interference in St. Lucy's busy neighborhood.
For the choir, a simple digital snake and PreSonus StudioLive 16.4.2 mixer allowed Dow to do presets for all of the different bands. On Sundays, for example, there are five different bands. He brought each band in, established the presets, and locked them in.
Playback is via Martin Audio OmniLine arrays—small and white, the way many churches like them—focused on the seats, not on the highly reflective ceiling. "Right now the biggest driver for our business is to make sure that the technology of these churches is serving their mission," Dow concludes. "Can they hear the priest or pastor? Here in California we're in a very technologically sophisticated society. People understand good video and good audio—maybe it used to be that good enough was OK. But now if people can't hear something clearly it's hard for them to sit through it.
"Our claim to fame is being able to program the digital devices in more sophisticated ways that even sometimes the manufacturers themselves don't understand," Dow concludes. "My background includes 18 years in computers, so we were doing digital programming before a lot of people were into it. I've been accused of being a DSP hog, but there you go. That last 10 to 20 percent you wring out of the system makes all the difference to a client's mission."
"Zamar used the Symetrix DSP to effectively build a sound engineer into the system," Wentz says. "That allows us to have a high-quality sound system with amateur musicians. That in turn met our need for a consistent, reliable, and repeatable liturgical experience. The community has told us that they are really happy with what they hear, and we have the same reaction from visitors. And I have a system I don't have to babysit every week."
PRODUCT AT WORK: Symetrix SymNet Radius 12x8
The SymNet Radius 12x8 is a Dante-enabled, fixed I/O digital signal processor. It can be installed as a standalone processor or used in conjunction with additional Symnet Radius, SymNet Edge, or third-party Dante-network enabled hardware; multiple units can function as universal building blocks in a scalable system design. Onboard 10/100 and gigabit switches lower system cost and reduce complexity with less hardware and fewer potential points of failure. Control options include free ARC-WEB browser based interface, Symetrix ARC wall panels, and SymNet SymVue GUI.

Bound by Flame
Bound by Flame is an ambitious and far-reaching RPG that contains all of the typical ingredients you expect from a heroic fantasy game; in particular, it offers a great freedom of action and choice throughout your adventure. The decisions you make are far from superficial and always bear, albeit later than sooner, heavy consequences on the way the story unfolds, on yourself, and, last but not least, on the very end of the game. These decisions first depend on the development of your character. Throughout the story and the successful quests, you gain some experience that enables you to develop your avatar. You have three talent trees through which you must choose the way you play and fight, from a skillful warrior armed with heavy swords, to a stealthy fighter and dagger expert. But maybe you will be tempted to destroy your enemies with your demon's powerful long-range fire magic spells. "Great freedom of action" "Three talent trees" "Watch your back... and your language!" Your choices also influence the in-game dialogs, as dozens of characters step in either as allies or enemies. Be careful, therefore, not to get on the wrong side of a character that might play a very big part later on in the game... unless making a new enemy is exactly your intention! According to your actions, some allies might even turn against you. So watch your back... and your language! Finally, the way in which you decide to interact with your demon also influences your character and the story. Your allies will change according to the freedom you grant your demon and according to the amount of humanity you decide to shed. Some of your companions may even decide to leave you on the way if they resent the person you have become... or if you suddenly decide to betray them! -

MMAi - A mixed martial artist's mind is as important as his heart. Every licensed fighter in the game will have changing goals and fight plans, based on their real-life tendencies and each fight situation. Stop their Plan A, and they will adapt to Plan B or C. Down on the scorecards, look for the AI to end the fight with a knockout or a submission. A smarter opponent equals a more challenging and unpredictable fight.Real-Time Exertion - A UFC bout is one of the most physically demanding sports on the planet requiring mixed martial artists to give it their all with every movement. Real-Time Exertion brings each moment of that action to life in your gameplay experience. Through real-time vein popping, skin discoloration, muscle flex, as well as signs of fatigue setting in through the course of each round, you will witness the effort it takes to be one of the best fighters in the world.Fighter Likeness and Facial Animations - EA SPORTS UFC will set a new bar for character likeness and emotion in gaming. Every single licensed fighter in the game has been created from high resolution 3D head and body scans to deliver revolutionary character likeness and authenticity. Powered by EA SPORTS IGNITE, new facial animation technology delivers more expression, emotion and will communicate greater sense of awareness and intelligence in the Octagon.Full Body Deformation - Until now, simulation of physical contact between fighters was limited to bodies that barely made contact with each other; as a result, they looked and behaved like action figures made of plastic rather than elite athletes. The team that revolutionized sports by bringing authentic physics to Fight Night changes the game again with an all-new, full-body deformation system that moves and displaces the fighter's flesh in real time. For the first time, the strength of every submission and power of every strike will truly make an impression.Precision Movement - MMA is a sport of inches, where every step counts and every movement matters.

More realistic physics-driven movement delivers morerealistic action as the overall transfer of energy from the ground up delivers more impactful and believable strikes and takedowns.Dynamic Striking - A mixed martial artist uses the environment to his advantage and for the first time in a UFC game, you can too. A dynamic environment allows you to pull off jaw-dropping moves using the Octagon, including roundhouse kicks, superman punches and much more. Combine those abilities with the best striking technology in the industry and that one perfect strike could change the fight.Strategic Submission Battles - To own the belt, you have to be dominant on your feet and on the mat. EA SPORTS UFC reinvents the ground game to create a battle for position and control that captures the strategy of a submission battle. Like the real sport, in EA SPORTS UFC fighters will work through multiple stages as they work to advance or escape from a fight-ending submission.Real Damage - Every fighter knows that one good shot can ruin your day. EA SPORTS UFC introduces a non-linear damage system which can result in big damage coming from a single strike. The system produces a greater variety of cuts and contusions that is true-to-life and has never been possible in a simulation fighting game. -

FIFA 14 will have stunning accuracy and visuals and the world inside the stadium comes alive as the emotions of new 3D crowds rise and fall around the stories on the pitch. Players are also aware of the match and what needs to be done to get a result--their sense of urgency increases as the match draws on, and if a goal is needed, they rush to take a throw-in, corner or goal-kick if time is running down.Players in FIFA 14 will make intelligent decisions with human-like anticipation and reaction times. All 22 players on the pitch possess Pro Instincts to anticipate and react to the play around them, just like world-class soccer players. Players will move more instinctively with the ball, anticipating and reacting to tackles by skipping over out-stretched legs to avoid collisions, using stiff arms to fend-off defenders or to brace for collisions, and turning their bodies to brush through contact. Defenders will anticipate moves to seal off opponents and intercept passes, and slow down attackers by hooking or holding an arm.With 10 times more animation depth and detail, EA SPORTS IGNITE delivers the dynamic movements and biomechanics of the world's best players. Precision Movement enables players to plant, pivot and cut, and explode out of each step. The fidelity of movement has a game-changing effect on gameplay. Players feel more grounded, agile and athletic, and manage their momentum with distinct foot plants and push-offs, bringing the authentic motion of professional soccer players to FIFA 14. Harnessing the power and memory of the new consoles, FIFA 14 also delivers Elite Technique--hundreds of new skills, including new types of shots like side volleys, deflections and first time screamers, and new types of passes, such as touch, over-head, slice and lobs. Hundreds of new behaviors include trapping the ball in stride at pace, panic turns when defenders are beaten, off-balance shots, missed shot reactions, and more are a result of the massive increase in memory of the new consoles. -

text: I wore these every day for three months in the African desert before they started deteriorating. They were comfortable, breathable and sturdy and performed well even in a non-waterproof type of environment. The bark brown color is also nice for this location. I also use a custom orthopedic insert so had bought a half size larger (in wide). The wide size normal fit would have been fine, so my next purchase will be at the exact size.

Clark Aposhian, president of the Utah Shooting Sport Council, was reported as saying, "We are providing a class for educators within the state of Utah, pre-school through secondary schools, to learn about concealed carry and proper gun handling and gun laws. We would like to educate our teachers and provide them with the necessary tools and information needed to help protect their students in an event such as a tragedy in the classroom or within their school."
Among the dangers commented on were the possibility of "teachers being overpowered for their weapons or students getting them and accidentally or purposely shooting classmates. But gun-rights advocates say teachers can act more quickly than law enforcement in the critical first few minutes to protect children from the kind of deadly shooting that took place in Connecticut," according to The Telegraph newspaper.
An online CNN report quoted Dennis Van Roekel and Randi Weingarten, presidents of the two largest U.S. teachers' unions, as saying in a joint statement, "Guns have no place in our schools. Period. We must do everything we can to reduce the possibility of any gunfire in schools, and concentrate on ways to keep all guns off school property and ensure the safety of children and school employees."
Aposhian was then quoted by CNN as stating, "It's a matter of giving teachers, school administrators, janitors and others the same rights, when licensed, to carry a concealed weapon in their place of work as others have. What we're talking about is not arming teachers, we're simply not taking away that ability of lawful self-defense within a school."
Meanwhile in Arizona the attorney general is said to be proposing a change in state law to allow an educator in each school to carry a gun, while in Ohio, the Buckeye Firearms Association is said to be launching a test program in tactical firearms training for 24 teachers, according to www.nydailynews.com.
Wherever you stand on the issue of gun control, the reality of life in these United States is that Americans have reached a new normal for children attending public schools. Most people rightly feel something needs to be done to make children safer, but no solution seems to be a perfect or permanent solution to this problem.
According to the Bible, the problem of people killing people will not be solved by merely removing guns from the hands of bad people intent on murder. Crime is considered a social problem, not simply a hardware problem.
If this is true, wouldn't that mean the real solution involves changing the attitudes and disposition of people? This is exactly what God's Word foretold at Isaiah 54:13. It says, "All your children will be taught by the LORD, and great will be their peace." — New International Version.
By being educated in the ways of peace, we position ourselves among the meek to inherit the earth, promised by Jesus Christ at Matthew 5:5. Although it is true, we live in a world where people fight fire with fire — or rather gunfire with gunfire — the words of our Lord to his disciple Peter at Matthew 26:52, still has value today. Jesus said, "For all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword." — King James Version.
I know I certainly would not want anyone telling me how to protect my family if their lives were on the line. That is between me and my God. At the same time, I have to ask myself if I am prepared to take a life? That too is between me and my God. As Romans 14:10 says, "For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of God." — New World Translation.
Since each of us must answer for our own actions, including how we exercise the right to bear arms as the law allows, isn't it better to leave any judging on matters of self-defense or defending one's family to Almighty God?
Ultimately, our Creator will take a holistic approach to crime and violence. As Isaiah 2:4 says, "God will judge between the nations, and settle disputes of mighty nations. Then they will beat their swords into iron plows and their spears into pruning tools. Nation will not take up sword against nation; they will no longer learn how to make war." — Common English Bible.
Soon, all violence and lethal weapons will be a thing of the past. In reference to God, Psalm 46:9 says, "He puts an end to wars all over the earth. He breaks an archer's bow. He cuts spears in two. He burns chariots." — GOD'S WORD Translation.
Imagine a world without violence and weapons of war! While some people may view these prophecies as farfetched, millions of Christians worldwide have taken God's Word to heart and chosen to embrace implements of peace that reflects their desire to please God and to live peacefully with others right now. Of course, that will not change the violent society we currently live in. Only God can change that.
Still, we can choose what type of person we want to be in imitation of Jesus — one who carries a piece or one who carries peace?

Elevated fine particle air pollution levels were recorded across east-central Iowa yesterday. Levels have fallen, and are expected to continue to fall through the remainder of today, as a cold front moves through the state and winds increase.
The EPA's 24-hour health threshold for fine particles in the air is 35 micrograms per cubic meter. Several monitoring sites recorded exceedances of the health threshold Dec. 3. Monitors in Cedar Rapids, Clinton and Iowa City recorded 24-hour fine particle levels of 40.0, 36.8 and 36.9 respectively. Monitors in Davenport recorded values of 40.4 and 37.7.
At 10 a.m. today, daily average levels ranged from 5.6 in Emmetsburg up to 27.2 in Davenport. Levels in eastern Iowa are expected to continue to improve when the cold front passes through this evening.
Monitors that have exceeded EPA health levels this year can be found at: www.iowadnr.gov/Portals/idnr/uploads/air/insidednr/monitoring/iowa_naaqs_2013.pdf .
Fine particles are emitted by vehicle traffic and other combustion sources and are formed by chemical reactions in the atmosphere. Stagnant air masses do not allow fine particles to disperse, so pollutant levels rise.
EPA's national air quality map is available online at www.airnow.gov.

Cognac is rarely born of a single eau-de-vie or a single growing area, but generally from a blend of different ages and crus, sometimes up to a hundred of them.
It can be made also exclusively from certain "cru", for example exclusively from "Grande Champagne", but of different ages.
Hine - Antique XO Fine Champagne
A blend of more than 40 cognacs drawn from both the Grande and Petite Champagne districts and aged for more than one generation.

ANTIQUE XO is the house's flagship, first blended by Thomas George HINE in 1920.

GoodSkin Labs At-A-Glance
Strengths: Most of the serums and treatment products (including the wrinkle fillers) are very good; relatively inexpensive given the anti-aging ingredients used; some of the products are fragrance-free.
Weaknesses: Falls short in terms of not offering any sun protection products; no longer a comprehensive line.
GoodSkin Labs is owned by Estee Lauder and sold exclusively at Kohl's department stores. Although originally launched as a full-featured collection of skin-care products, the brand has since been whittled down to a few key players. We're not sure why the downsizing occurred, but perhaps it's Lauder simply decided to focus on the core products that sold best. Whatever the reason, what remains from GoodSkin is a mixed bag—but there are some very good products you may want to consider. Because this is Lauder-owned line, you'll find several products are similar to others from Laude brands, including Clinique. The price point of GoodSkin Labs is in line with Clinique, though with Clinique you have a lot more choices and can, if desired, put together an entire skin-care routine. Just to be clear, you can put together a brilliant skin-care routine with products from different brands—let go of the myth that you won't get good results if your routine mixes and matches various brands. In some cases that may work beautifully, but more often than not it can lead to trouble because few lines offer a perfectly ideal assortment of products. What GoodSkin Labs does best is serums and anti-aging treatment products (including wrinkle fillers) and most of them are fragrance-free. Their formulas combine proven beneficial ingredients in elegant textures and packaging that helps keep light- and air-sensitive ingredients stable during use. As with most cosmetic lines, the claims are a bit over the top, but for the most part the formulas contain an impressive range of ingredients that can help your skin look and act younger. You won't find anything here that Estee Lauder's namesake brand isn't also offering, but if you routinely shop at Kohl's, there are some products that are worthy of checking out!
