text: Jul 28, 2014 19:05 Letter: Lacking interstate police presence is disturbing Letter: Lacking interstate police presence is disturbing Advocate story July 21, 2014; 7:26 p.m. Comments Where are the police officers on our interstate highways? I don't know, but they sure are not out on the interstate at 6 a.m., when people are driving like they are on the German Autobahn. I drive in the righthand lane at 70 to 75 mph and cars are passing me like I am standing still and tailgating each other like freight trains. No wonder our insurance is what it is here in Louisiana. Why not just take the signs down if the speed limit isn't going to be enforced, or enforce the law? It's simple.

Punxsutawney Phil, you stinkin' liar. 'no six weeks of winter', our sweet ass. We love hot chocolate and warm sweaters and curling up by the fire with our honey as much as the next girl, but it's getting old FAST. We are so ready for spring! With that in mind, we're counting down the days until March 21st, the official first day of spring, with some fabulous Aspire/Acquire posts featuring ideas for spring fashion and frolicking. Bring on the warm weather!
Nude pumps are popping up this spring like so many eager daffodils. We have been especially charmed by the pumps of the patent persuasion. While this style might be in particular demand this season, it's also something that is about as timeless as denim. Our suggestion - pick up a nice pair while there's a lot of variety and you'll have a classic heel that goes with everything and will always be relevant. Our aspire choice is the Patent Round Toe Pump by Jimmy Choo ($665). The slight pink blush and simple shape had us at "hello." But that price tag is a lady killer. Their acquire counterpart is the ASOS Shimmy Pointed Toe Court Shoe ($62). The color is lighter and a little creamier, but would look equally marvelous with a your favorite jeans.
And, as always, if you've got something you love that's out of your reach, email us and we'll find you some more budget-friendly lookalikes for a future Aspire/Acquire feature!
I'm with ya, but I want a rounded toe, discreet platform version.

Useful Terminology
If you haven't realized yet, the University of Pennsylvania has created a language of its own! Below is a list of keywords that will be useful for you while you are a student in the MPA or a Certificate program.
As you would do if you started a new job, your first step in starting the MGA or a Certificate program is to pick up a PennCard. This card is your University of Pennsylvania identification. More importantly, it allows you to access many of Penn's resources and facilities (including the Fels Institute of Government).
Your PennKey is the username assigned to you while you are a student at the University of Pennsylvania. This is a unique identifier. You must create a PennKey in order to access any restricted or personal services on the University of Pennsylvania website. The PennKey consists of your username and password. For example, karener is my username and xxxxxx is my password. Together, these are referred to as my PennKey.
PennKey versus PennCard
Use your PennCard to enter the Fels Institute of Government before or after business hours.
Use your PennKey to change your address, review your grades, register for classes, access Blackboard, and access your email account.
Your PennName is the username piece of your PennKey. For example, my PennName is 'karener.' When you are setting up your email address the Penn System will provide you with a list of PennNames that have not been used yet. Please take your time in selecting your PennName, since you will not be able to change it.
SAS and GAS
The Fels Institute of Government is a unit of the School of Arts & Sciences (SAS). The School of Arts & Sciences has 2 divisions: the College (undergraduate) and GAS (graduate division of the School of Arts & Sciences).
'GAFL' is the subject code assigned to Fels Institute courses. For example, you may be registering for GAFL 783 in your first term. In any listing of organizational units (e.g. registrar), Fels is listed on the Penn web site under 'G' for Government Administration.
Social Science Computing (SSC) is the acronym used to describe our hardware/technology support. For example, if you need assistance with your email account, you should email firstname.lastname@example.com.
SFS is the abbreviation for Student Financial Services. Per the SFS web site, "Penn believes that coordinating all aspects of student finance in one office provides the best possible solutions and service to students and their families. Therefore, student finance areas such as financial aid, payment option programs, billing, loan processing and a counseling center join together to form Student Financial Services (SFS) at Penn."

The World Health Organization has released a report that identified toxic air as the biggest pollution threat to human life. The fact is that overloads of toxic particulate matter in the air connect to a host of deadly respiratory, cardiovascular, and pulmonary diseases and cancers. According to a March 25 Environmental News Network article, air pollution contributed to 7 million deaths worldwide in 2012.
The latest assessments were refined and improved to provide better evidence because of two things: Advanced technology and better understanding of disease/disorder relationships to air pollution.
Natural scientists and epidemiologists have found links between air pollution and cardiovascular diseases like ischemic heart disease and strokes. The connections between air pollution and cancers are more clear. Other respiratory diseases like chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases and acute respiratory infections are also more clearly tied to air pollution.
In some parts of the world, indoor air pollution is as bad as outdoor pollution. Dirty cooking fuels like coal, wood and biomass are taking on more scrutiny. Outdoor pollution, mainly from the transport and industry sectors was the center of attention until 2012.
The worst indoor and outdoor pollution combinations occur in southeast Asia and the western Pacific regional population centers. Those two regions had a total of 5.9 of the 7 million deaths. 3.3 million deaths came from indoor air pollution and 2.6 million deaths came from outdoor air pollution, making the two regions the most deadly parts of the globe.
Poor women, children and the elderly are most at risk, with the dirty cooking fuel as the greatest source of toxic indoor air. Coal, biomass and wood cooking stoves are found to be related to 34 percent of indoor air pollution deaths from stroke. 26 percent died of ischemic heart disease. 22 percent expired from COPD;
Outdoor pollution killed at rates of 40 percent from ischemic heart disease and another 40 percent from stroke.
A March 25 WHO press release quoted Dr.Flavia Bustreo, the WHO Assistant Director of General Family, Women and Children's Health. When addressing the impact of the report, she said,
"Cleaning up the air we breathe prevents noncommunicable diseases as well as reduces disease risks among women and vulnerable groups, including children and the elderly. Poor women and children pay a heavy price from indoor air pollution since they spend more time at home breathing in smoke and soot from leaky coal and wood cooking stoves."
The next step for the WHO will be to identify and report on the most troublesome policies in transportation, industry and other human activities. With better evidence, the odds are that guidance from WHO might be taken more seriously. This is especially true when the economic impacts of air pollution are taken into account.

text: Mar 18, 2014 09:46 Never asked to stay, Jenkins still grateful to Saints Never asked to stay, Jenkins still grateful to Saints Associated Press photo by Chuck Burton -- New Orleans' Malcolm Jenkins returns an interception as Carolina's Ryan Kalil tries to make the tackle during Sunday's game. 'I met my wife, started a family and built a home' here, former Super Bowl champ says by ramon antonio vargas| email@example.com March 12, 2014; 4:50 p.m. Comments As safety Malcolm Jenkins tells it, the Saints never spoke to him about returning for the 2014 season. But that doesn't make the Philadelphia Eagles' new free-agent acquisition any less thankful about the five seasons he spent in New Orleans, where he got to know his wife (Morissa), had a daughter and ran a foundation dedicated to serving underprivileged youth. In an email sent through a publicist, Jenkins — a first-round draft pick for New Orleans who helped the franchise win its lone championship at the end of his rookie season in 2009 — said, "The Saints gave me the opportunity to enter this league, play among great players and for great fans, and win a Super Bowl. "I met my wife, started a family and built a home in New Orleans, and I am grateful for my time there. Today, I am excited about the opportunity I have to play for the Philadelphia Eagles, get to know the fans, and become part of the ... community. I couldn't ask for a better situation." Jenkins was a defensive captain last season for New Orleans and ranked among the leaders in tackles, pass breakups and interceptions for a team that was No. 2 against the pass. He chipped in another 2.5 sacks and four tackles behind the line of scrimmage and headed into unrestricted free agency Tuesday. According to Jenkins, he and New Orleans' brain trust "did not have any discussion about the Saints 2014 season." The Saints started the day with fewer than $3 million of salary cap space — what little flexibility they had they opted to instead use to come to terms on a six-year, $54 million agreement with safety Jairus Byrd, a three-time Pro Bowler out of Buffalo who's developed a reputation as a ball hawk after picking off 22 passes and forcing 11 fumbles throughout his five-season career. That was contrary to the Eagles, who immediately "expressed a huge interest" in Jenkins, he said. Philadelphia — who, coincidentally, New Orleans defeated in the wildcard round of the playoffs last season — signed him to a three-year deal worth more than $16 million an hour or so after the free agency market officially opened. "They feel I am a perfect fit for their defense out of the safeties out there," Jenkins said. "Their plans for my role is in line with what I think I do best, and I love the fact that I can be closer to my hometown and family." Jenkins was born in Piscataway, N.J., about 70 miles from Philadelphia. "My daughter gets to grow up with her cousins and see her grandparents more often," he said. Though the safety will now be plying his trade and raising his family in the northeast, he doesn't expect the charity work he does through The Malcolm Jenkins Foundation in New Orleans to end. One of the goals of the foundation — which emphasizes providing mentorship, personal development, leadership, education, life skills, health and recreation to children in "underserved communities" — is still to make a difference in New Orleans, where his professional career began. He's also done work in New Jersey and in the area surrounding Ohio State, where he went to college. "I don't see that changing," Jenkins said. "I (just) look forward to expanding the foundation's commitment by adding the great City of Philadelphia to that list." Get The Advocate in your inbox Subscribe

To the dismay of customers, acclaimed Chicago restaurant Alinea recently had their youngest diner to date. It appears a couple decided to take their 8-month old to the upscale restaurant not realizing what a stir it would cause. Unfortunately the newborn would not stop crying causing patrons to start complaining and Chef Grant Achatz to Tweet about the disturbance stating, "Tbl brings 8mo.Old. It cries. Diners mad. Tell ppl no kids? Subject diners 2crying? Ppl take infants 2 plays? Concerts? Hate saying no,but…"
Needless to say this has caused quite the uproar among single fine diners and parents alike. Should there be an age limit at establishments such as Alinea? Think about it, there are no children's menus, play mats with crayons, plastic cups or high chairs. Not to mention that people wait months to just get into Alinea which requires advance ticket purchase for their extensive tasting menu that averages around $250 per person plus the cost of drinks and gratuity.
The Yelp description and other reviews of Alinea clearly state it is not a restaurant for kids. Nothing about Alinea comes off as baby or even family friendly. So why did a couple bring their baby that evening? According to the couple their sitter canceled at the last minute and Alinea does not give refunds. Aliena does however allow the tickets to be sold or transferred. It goes without saying that the couple just wanted to enjoy their much anticipated evening out. There's nothing wrong with that, right? Except that the other diners were also there to enjoy their evenings; assumingly kid free especially at such a price.
Obviously the couple's decision had an impact on the other diners who were unable to fully enjoy their dining experience due to the shrieks of the crying baby. So the question is should fine dining restaurants have to establish an age limit or do parents need to use more common sense in manners such as these? It doesn't seem unreasonable to accept that not everything is appropriate for children.
Alinea is number 15 on The World's 50 Best Restaurants for 2013 (number 7 in 2012) and Chicago's only 3 star Michelin awarded restaurant. Chef Grant Achatz won this year's Chef Choice Awards. Achatz's Tweet has caused uproar since he is now considering not just an age limit but banning baby's altogether. What seems to be the most disarming is what some call the audacity of Achatz for shaming paying customers on social media. In fact all the drama of what is now being called baby-gate has created a new Twitter account @AlineaBaby where both sides come to debate the issue of baby banning.
However this is not a new topic. In fact more upscale restaurants are setting age limits but that number doesn't compare to the thousands of family friendly restaurants able to accommodate young children. So with all the options available there really is no reason for a baby to be at any fine dining establishment. Alinea is located at 1723 North Halsted Street, Chicago.

(Associated Press) — Alongside the carnage of Pakistan's massive earthquake came a new creation: a small island of mud, stone and bubbling gas pushed forth from the seabed. Experts say the island was formed by the massive movement of the earth during the 7.7-magnitude quake that hit Pakistan's Baluchistan province on Tuesday, Sept. 24, 2013. The island appeared off the coast of Gwadar, a port about 330 miles (533 kilometers) from Pakistan's largest city of Karachi and 75 miles (120 kilometers) from Iran. Navy geologist Mohammed Danish told Pakistan's Geo Television that a Pakistani Navy team visited the island Wednesday. He said the mass was about 60 feet (18 meters) high, 100 feet (30 meters) wide and 250 feet (76 meters) long, making it a little wider than a tennis court and slightly shorter than a football field. Such land masses have appeared before off Pakistan's Makran coast, said Muhammed Arshad, a hydrographer with the navy. After quakes in 1999 and 2010, new land masses rose up along a different part of the coast about 175 miles (282 kilometers) east of Gwadar, he said. Each of those disappeared back into the sea within a year during the stormy monsoon season that sweeps Pakistan every summer, he said.

Craig Morgan's latest hit "Wake Up Lovin' You" is climbing the charts and they former soldier is taking his "The Journey" tour overseas to entertain the troops.
In an April 8 press release Monarch Publicity announced that Craig Morgan will make his eleventh trip overseas to entertain United States troops. Craig Morgan will travel with Armed Forces Entertainment and Stars and Stripes throughout Southwest Asia this spring for a series of acoustic shows. Why does award-winning television host and former soldier frequently travel to entertain for the men and women of the military stationed overseas? Morgan says:
"As a former soldier myself, it is important to me to have another opportunity to support our troops and do whatever I can to help keep morale high. I always jump at the chance to get over there and do my part."
Craig Morgan began traveling overseas to perform for U.S. troops in 2003. But Craig Morgan's support and encouragement also extends to the spouses, families and dependents left behind at home by those who have chosen to serve their country. Morgan has worked with soldier's families stateside through the Folds of Honor and Jack Daniel's Toast to the Troops.
The Black River recording artist's latest single, "Wake Up Lovin' You" Top 20 single is currently at number 16 on the chart. Written by Josh Osborne, Matt Ramsey and Trevor Rosen, "Wake Up Lovin' You" is one of four new songs on Morgan's recently released CD "The Journey – Livin' Hits".
The "Craig Morgan The Journey Tour" throughout the United States and new dates will be added to the tour. Visit Craig Morgan's website, follow on Facebook and Twitter for updated information. Fans can find "The Journey - Livin' Hits" on Craig Morgan's website, iTunes and in stores.

Fight involving Lightning prospect Kyle Decoste (Brampton Battalion - No.23)
Fight involving Lightning prospect Kyle Decoste (Brampton Battalion - No.23)
You have to sit through plays 5-2, but James Wright is shown here with his No.1 play of the week.
So, someone please correct me if I'm wrong but didn't we (Tampa) have the worst overall record in the league last year? Yes, sadly I do believe we did. With that said though that should give Tampa the first crack at players that are put on waivers from other teams around the league. With that said, how in the world could the Tampa brass have passed on claiming a talented young D-man like Kyle Quincy who was put on waivers by the Wings and picked up by the LA Kings. Quincy who has been hidden in the Wings system for a while now was a numbers casualty in their system.
As reported on 620 WDAE and now TSN.ca the Lightning have traded away Shane O'Brien and Michel Ouellet for D Lukas Krajicek and RW Juraj Simek.
Ouellet will be reporting to Manitoba and O'Brien to Vancouver.
I would assume Krajicek will report to Tampa and Simek to Norfolk but no official word on that.
TSN.ca is reporting that Ottawa has traded Andre Meszaros to Tampa Bay for Kuba, Picard, and the 1st round pick they got from San Jose. While picking up franchise D-Man like Meszaros is a great pick up, I don't understand why some of the extra forwards Tampa has weren't involved instead. I'm not upset about giving up the 1st round pick or Kuba, but Picard is a young guy who came in here and turned some heads at the end of last year. I was looking forward to seeing him progress and develop in our system.
After a flurry of activity earlier this summer, the Lightning's offseason has finally slowed down. So, I think this is a good time to take stock of everything that has happened so far. There has never been a time in Lightning history where both the roster, the coaching staff, and front office of this franchise has changed so dramatically. The incredible multi-dimensional makeover of the Tampa Bay Lightning has rightfully generated a lot of interest in the upcoming season, and a lot of credit has to be given to OK Hockey on that account. It's not always easy to generate a significant buzz for a team that finished dead last in the NHL last season, and it's a credit to this group's salesmanship that the trade of two of four members of the ex "Fantastick Four" (Brad Richards and Dan Boyle) hasn't been accompanied with a sense of doom in the fan base.
That said, I think anyone with unbridled optimism for the Lightning this coming season needs to ratchet down expectations to a more reasonable level. The simple truth is that OK Hockey has made several risky moves and the outcome of those moves won't be known for months. What we should all be left with, I think, is what I would deem an "uneasy anticipation" for the coming season.
Added a new link today to contracts up on the primary links bar above. This page is a storehouse for contract information about players in the organization, and initially contains the lists of upcoming restricted and unrestricted free agents.
Apparently the local media got some face time with new-GM-in-waiting Brian Lawton this afternoon, and Erik Erlendsson reports on his blog that Lawton is not done tweaking the Lightning's blueline, contrary to earlier talk by Len Barrie that the team was done making moves. Thank goodness. The corps, as currently constituted on paper, is softer than a stick of butter left out in the sun and greener than the Incredible Hulk. The Lightning desperately need a veteran stay-at-home thumper capable of playing a minimum of 18-20 minutes a night. They need a defenseman who, if nothing else, Coach Melrose can throw out on the shift after goals or on the penalty kill in momentum-changing scenarios to keep the game from tilting against them. They also need that player to have a more physical edge to move players out from in front of Mike Smith and Olaf Kolzig's crease. Forwards like Jussi Jokinen or Michel Ouellet are rumored to be the bait.
Lawton also cleared up questions regarding last year's assistant coaches Mike Sullivan and Jeff Reese. Both are still under contract but are actively seeking work elsewhere.
Claude Loiselle and Tom Kurvers will split Assistant GM duties. Loiselle will handle contract issues while Kurvers will be more active in player personnel decisions.
And finally, in sadder news, rumors continue to crescendo that GM Jay Feaster is about to have the final three years of his contract bought out so he can depart the organization.
And the shoes keep dropping.
For anyone who is wondering, here was Red Line Report's take on defenseman Ty Wishart heading into the 2006 draft. Wishart was ranked the 16th best prospect in the draft class by Red Line, and here is what they had to say:
Cookie & Steve
Say it ain't so about our guy Danny

Tonight's episode of "Ink Master" is still at six tattoo artists competing for an editorial feature in Inked magazine, the monetary prize of $100,000 and the most enviable of all prizes; the title of "Ink Master." Last week, nobody went home, because most of the tattoos were of a higher quality. As it comes down to the wire, they are giving it their all, and the judges felt that no artist really deserved to go home.
As the episode begins, the banter in the loft is about Gentle Jay stating that Scott Marshall is tracing his tattoos, which he claims to use as reference only. With Melissa and Jay on the chopping block, they are determining who will be sent home. Scott wants Jay gone for his accusations and feels that he is ready to try anything to get Scott out of the competition. When Matti returned first, shortly thereafter followed by Melissa, the celebration started too soon, when Jay walked in a moment later, jumped over the sofa and sat next to Halo.
When the six marched into the studio, Dave Navarro announced that there was no Flash Challenge on this day, but the Elimination Challenge would start that very minute. Oliver warned the final six that one bad line could mean elimination, if shading is not as good as the next artist, they may just leave. They were told not to take it personally, but down to the nitty gritty, it must be the very best.
For the Elimination Challenge, the judges are Dave, Oliver, Chris, America and special guest judge Luke Wessman, a traditional tattooer and no-holds-barred judge who speaks his mind. The word of the day for this challenge is Flexibility.
Dave warned the artists, that although some do not get along, they must do a collaboration tattoo on one canvas as a team. They must tattoo as a team, and each hour, they must switch artists. Jay feels that he has done well alone, but each time he is with another person, it is a nightmare. They must do a tattoo so seamlessly, that it looks like only one artist did it. The canvas is open to whatever their choice of designs is to be, and they will be judged as a team. When the three canvases arrived, they chose two random skulls, and whoever was on the skulls, was the tag team.
The first team was Matti and Sausage, not totally disappointed, Matti knew Sausage was not his first choice, but happy it was not Jay. As Jay was chosen next, Scott commented that if he was teamed with Jay, someone was going home in a body bag. But as luck would have it, she chose Melissa, leaving Halo and Scott as the last team, and as Halo put it; a guaranteed win. With the rest of the evening to consult with their canvas, they will have six hours the next day to complete their tattoo. Jay was upset that Melissa had a puss on when she was chosen as his partner, and told her to smile. Dave then announced there would be no human canvas jury, and the winners would not put anyone up for elimination. The decision would strictly be from the judges, and if they cannot show Flexibility by doing a cohesive piece, they would be going home.
Jay and Melissa were butting heads on all aspects of the tattoo of an elephant, while the other two teams were interested in winning only, so like it or lump it, they will work as a team. Sausage knows that Matti and Scott are working together, but they must complete this collaborative project together or one or both could leave the competition. At the end of the first hour, Dave told them to switch places. Matti jumped in and took over for Sausage, Jay took over for Melissa. Oliver noticed Melissa and Jay were only doing the part of the design that they created and lacked the key word of Flexibility. When Scott let Halo take over, he directed Halo as to what he should do next, and Halo knew he could not relax because Scott has to be in control of everything. At the final hour, Melissa had to do the largest part of the tattoo and felt Jay was slacking.
In the loft, the artists were discussing the previous events and felt that Jay left much up to Melissa, he felt she was a crybaby, and he stood behind his work. At the Tattoo Critique, the six marched before the judges. Halo and Scott were up first. They made a carousel horse's head using octopus tentacles for the mane, as their canvas wanted a horse or an octopus. Gentle Jay and Melissa were next, and Oliver saw the separation of teamwork in the tattoo. The judges stated that it looked like different pieces were randomly put into the tattoo with no consistency. No filigree should have come out of the lotus flower. Jay countered with the fact that no octopus tentacles should come out of a horse's head. Sausage and Matti were last; they chose to do Japanese artwork and Oliver could not understand that they both did something that was not their strong point. The judges did admit that the work was done well, but they should not do passion pieces, but instead, do showstoppers.
In the loft, everyone shared their opinion, Scott told Sausage that should not have done cutting-edge stuff, but stick to their forte this late in the game. Is Scott only giving advice because Matti is on the team?
When Oliver came to the loft, he told all artists to come down to the shop. As they faced their executioners, the best tattoo was awarded to Scott and Halo. On the other hand, the remaining four were told that any one of them could be going home, but it was determined that Jay and Melissa had the worst tattoo of the day and had to face off against each other by doing an identical tattoo created by Luke Wessman. The drawing will already be done; their challenge is to execute it in four hours. The one with the worst execution of Luke's tattoo will be packing their equipment and leaving the competition.
As the face off was ready to begin, the artists were handed an outline of Luke's design of a leopard taking a bite out of a rose. As Scott was telling Melissa to take Jay out, she was busy, but Jay felt he had much more experience and was going to send her home. Matti and Scott were giving Melissa lots of help, in the hope she would send Jay home and do Scott a huge favor, she knew that they had ulterior motives, but accepted the help to benefit herself.
When the tattoos were critiqued, each had flaws that were pointed out by the judges. However, in the end, Gentle Jay was told they did not have what it takes to be "Ink Master." As he was about to walk out he gave Scott the one-finger salute and told the fans that it took three artists ganging up on him to finally get him out of the competition.

Arrival in the Val de Loire
We have come to the Loire Valley to visit a friend. And, while we're in the neighborhood, we just might take in a few of the incredible chateaux that are so amazingly plentiful in this beautiful central region of France. Over the centuries, the medieval fortresses here evolved into fairy-tale pleasure palaces built for comfort and elegance.

Sooner or later, it's going to come, Julianna Margulies believes: The day when Alicia Florrick, the tightly wound,constantly challenged, spurned spouse she plays on the CBS drama, The Good Wife, will crack. "Crack," Margulies emphasized, drawing out the word. There are times, she added, that as an actress, she feels like crying in a scene, "But I don't want Alicia to cry. Because if she starts now, she'll never stop."
The woman who shot to fame as George Clooney's ER love is older now, married with kids, and savoring the success of her own network hit. The other night at The Paley Center for Media in New York City, she talked about the series with fellow castmates Matt Czuchry ( who plays the firm's young male associate, Cary Agos), Josh Charles (who plays her boss—and college flame—Will Gardner) and Archie Panjabi (the firm's scarily accomplished private detective, Kalinda Sharma).
But the New York City event didn't really get rolling until Christine Baranski (who plays another of the firm's partners, Diane Lockhart) arrived late—yet early enough to blurt out a key plot development her castmates had kept secret (I will, too). "Now I'm actually going to tell you what happens at the end of Lost," Josh Charles teased the audience. "And Mad Men. It's all coming out."
So will Alicia end up in bed with her old flame Will? Or back in the maid's room with devious husband Peter? "We're happy that people are invested enough to care," Margulies said. "The other day a lovely couple came up to me and said, 'We're on the Peter Florrick team.' Then another couple came up and said, 'We are on the Will Gardner team.'"
"I have both shirts," said Czuchry (no one thinks that Alicia will fall for his character, who's her younger competitor at the law firm).
On the show, Archie Panjabi's dark hair is often pulled back sleekly, but on stage it was loose and sexy, like Margulies's. "Archie is a character who can manipulate men—I was nervous to play her," Panjabi admitted. "But after a while, I grew confident." Her character's trademark boots helped. "There's something about the boots…as soon as I put these boots on…"
"There's an actual blog that is dedicated to Kalinda's boots," Margulies said.
The Internet plays a big role in the series, both offscreen and on. "Alicia is not tech savvy at all," Margulies says. But her children are immersed. "She's trying to do the right thing—there was the episode where she took away Zack's computer." And in a future episode, she reports, we'll see Alicia's son apologizing for his scheming, tweeting girlfriend—and realizing how technology has hurt his mom.
To research her character, Margulies said, "I went online and looked at all the wives—pictures of them before and after." She was particularly struck by Silda Spitzer, "how young she looked, two years earlier." Post-scandal, "She aged 10 years. But then a few months later, she was in Vogue, she had a job, she never looked better."
Has she heard from any of those real-life wronged wives? "I haven't," she answered, "but apparently Elizabeth Edwards reached out to CBS to tell them she thought I was portraying Alicia in the right light—I'm sure she wouldn't say that now." As for the others, "I'm sure none of them have watched it. Why would they? It's salt on the wound." (In fact, at a recent More lunch, Jenny Sanford confessed she had seen one episode—until her son urged her to turn it off.)
Margulies has been stunned by the similarities that keep piling on. "On the series, Peter Florrick is thinking of running again—the next day, there are the Eliot Spitzer headlines, that he's thinking of running again. It's no longer art imitating life."
But when it came to casting her own straying politician, Margolies recalled, "I told them, 'You can't cast an Eliot Spitzer. You must cast a Bill Clinton.' So I thought the casting of Chris Noth was genius."
So where does Margulies see Alicia two, three, five years from now? Winning the bakeoff with Cary? Deserting Peter for Will ? Going on to yet another love? Could The Good Wife become, as Margulies laughingly suggested, The Naughty Wife?
"I have no idea," she said. "I don't want to know what's going to happen. It's more like life."

We%26rsquo;ve been driving, shooting and bludgeoning prostitutes to death in Rockstar%26rsquo;s fictional take on American cities for 13 years now. It%26rsquo;s time for a change. With GTA 5 likely to be unveiledlater thismonth at E3, we thought it was time to put forward an argument for the series heading to farther shores. Below, we'll tell you why we don't want the series to go back to the US, while also fighting cases for a return to London and even a GTA set in the future (obviously you can now watch the trailer here).
We don%26rsquo;t want to play in Vice City or San Andreas again
Been there. Done that. Got the blood-stained t-shirt. It%26rsquo;s time for a change. If GTA is set in the States again, it%26rsquo;s a good bet either of these locations would feature. As much as we loved exploring the fictional Miami and state of California, the appeal of both were massively tied to their time period.
Above: Keep dreaming, Tommy. Keep dreaming.
Vice City worked so well because of the strength of that 80s environment. The music. The fashion. The mullets! It was as much experiencing the hedonistic excesses of the decade that taste forgot as it was about driving around Miami. Ditto with San Andreas and its Boyz n the Hood-style LA ghetto setting.
The appeal of each new GTA is the thrill of exploring the unknown. While Liberty City had technically been visited in GTA and GTA III before Niko%26rsquo;s amoral adventure, we%26rsquo;d never truly seen it depicted as New York City before. That%26rsquo;s why, as we weaved through Algonquin%26rsquo;s skyscrapers in a chopper, it felt like an entirely new place. Vice City, Los Santos, San Fierro and Las Venturas have already been rendered pretty close to the cities that inspired them, meaning there%26rsquo;d be litle point in returning.
Above: Alright, so CJ's gone wrong. But a change of scenery would be nice
We want to see Rockstar%26rsquo;s scathing satire focused on another culture
The coolest developer in the world %26trade; has been successfully extracting the urine from the Home of Brave for 13 years now. And as much as we love Little Lacy Surprise banners mocking America%26rsquo;s crass advertising culture or Cluckin%26rsquo; Bell highlighting everything wrong with its fast food industry, we think Rockstar needs to move on.
Above: Shhiiiiitttttt
One thing any setting for GTA V needs is a multicultural setting that included most of the major races, religions and professions. Not only does this let the player experience a variety of different missions because of the character variation, it also means folk can%26rsquo;t get (quite so) upset if the gameis taking the piss out of everyone. And for a multicultural city ripe for the GTA treatment look no further than%26hellip;
GTA London (t'would be amazing)
Seriously: WANT. Alright, it%26rsquo;s already been visited in GTA: London, 1969. But that was top-down, so can%26rsquo;t quite count as a realistic representation of one the busiest, most varied metropolises on the planet. Aside from being culturally rich and diverse enough to provide loads ofdifferent missions, it would also give Rockstar the chance to shove in a shit load of film references. Vice City had Scarface. San Andreas had Ocean%26rsquo;s Eleven. GTA IV had its sloppy wet kiss to Michael Mann%26rsquo;s Heat. We can smell those Notting Hill Julia Roberts side missions already.
Above: An American Brucie in London. A man can dream...
But a GTA in the future would be%26hellip; eh, awesomer
C%26rsquo;mon, GTA: Blade Runner? Say you wouldn%26rsquo;t kill an entire family of adorable orphaned porcupines to play that right the hell now. Just think of how creative Rockstar could get with the almost limitless creative canvas the setting could provide.
And we%26rsquo;re not just talking Mass Effect with hookers here. A sci-fi GTA delivered with Rockstar%26rsquo;s usual tongue-in-cheek style would not only give the genre a kick up the ass, it would also give us weapons, locations and baddies unlike anything we%26rsquo;d seen before.
Red Dead Redemption shows that Rockstar is the master of creating believable, ambient environments. Red Dead%26rsquo;s take on the Old West encapsulates a sense of time and place we%26rsquo;ve never seen before. With a level of passion and dedication for creating worlds this vibrant and rich, we%26rsquo;d bet the farm a futuristic GTA would be the most compelling take on the concept since Back to the Future Part II.
Above: Oh yes, a man can dream
But what about you? Where do you think the next GTA will be set? And, more importantly, where do you want it to be set? Agree with our London idea? Give us a shout in the comments below.

A free iPhone app lets you communicate without an internet or mobile connection, according to a March 24 report by "Capital Lifestyle" via "Lifestyle Magazine".
What's more, this free iPhone app lets you instantly message and share photos with anyone around you on your iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch.
With the free "FireChat" app users can now communicate at the beach, in the subway, at a baseball or football game, at a marathon, in a concert—or even while camping in a rural location—because an internet connection or mobile phone coverage is no longer necessary.
"FireChat" and the technology this app uses is set to revolutionize the way we connect with each other.
Because "FireChat" doesn't need an internet or mobile connection, it can be used to chat with others when cell phone towers are either not working or congested—or when traveling in other countries when governments conspire to block mobile phone and internet connections.
"FireChat" is built using a new technology in Apple's iOS 7 called Multipeer Connectivity Framework to connect iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch devices.
Multipeer Connectivity Framework technology creates dynamic peer-to-peer networks in a chain of users that is constantly changing and works like "AirDrop", the free Apple feature in iOS 7 that lets users share files—like photos—without the need for a Wi-Fi connection.
Features of "Fire Chat" include:
Chatting or sharing photos with anyone around you using your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch
Creating private conversations that only people that you want to join can see
The option to see what people are saying in public conversations
No need for an internet or mobile phone connection
No password necessary
Can be used at home or anywhere in the world
Doesn't drain the battery
"FireChat" is rated 12+ for mild profanity, sexual content, references to alcohol, tobacco or drug use, requires iOS 7.0+ and is compatible with iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. "FireChat" is optimized for iPhone 5. This app can be downloaded in the iPhone-only section of the App Store.

These chips are handmade and dehydrated at low temperatures for days until the perfect crispiness is achieved. We think you'll agree they're worth the work! Our Cheese-y Quackers are very popular with kids! We use nutritional yeast to get a "cheese-y" flavor and dehydrate our chips for a crunchy snack. Our Rosemary Quackers are a great cracker for dipping or just snacking on alone. Our favorite way to eat them is crumbled on top of a salad (like the S&M Salad at our Juice Bars). Eat these quackers with hummus or your favorite dip, as a base for a yummy spread, crumbled over a salad, or right out of the bag. They will satisfy your craving for chips with their savory and nutty flavor. Packed with almonds, flax, and nutritional yeast (for your B12 needs), they're also really really good for you!
Rosemary: Raw and Organic Almonds, Raw and Organic Flax Seeds, Nutritional Yeast, Organic Rosemary, Sea Salt.Our cookies and snacks are all made and packaged by hand in small batches by our talented staff. Because the characteristics of raw ingredients naturally vary, and we dry everything at very low temperatures over many hours (or even days), our snacks may not always be exactly the same from batch to batch (how do those Keebler elves do it??), but they should always be delicious. Rest assured you're getting the best quality product made by caring humans, not machines (or elves).

Advice about Hysterectomy
|Related Pages
I recently underwent an exploratory surgery and was disagnosed with endometriosis, prolapsed uterus, and probable adenomyosis. My second opinion doctor agrees with the first, that a hysterectomy is necessary. I have a choice about when, depending on how much pain I am willing to tolerate and whether I want to attempt a pregnancy first. I have 2 young kids and I'm pretty young myself, I'm in my late 20s. My husband and I were pretty sure that our family was complete after the birth of our daughter, but I'm still devestated by this. Logically, it seems like it shouldn't be a big deal, my husband was going to get a vasectomy anyway, but I'm a bit of a mess over it. It feels like I'm too young for this and I also second guess our decision not to have any more kids. I feel pressured to decide, and quickly, what to do. I know that the time pressure I feel is purely in my head, but it's a factor for me. I'm just really emotional about it and really sad for the loss of the ability to give life. And the finality of it. I was hoping to find some wisdom here of women who have been faced with this and have some experience to share. I thank you, sincerely, in advance for responding. Losing my oven
One doctor asked me why I was so ''attached to my uterus'', since it will never grow another baby (I guess). I replied: ''Well, you've told me you're done having children, why are you so attached to your testicles?'' 'Nuff said.
You can make your own decision about this, over time, as you are ready. The medical community seems to think that we won't miss our uteri, but I know that My BF misses hers terribly (she had cancer and had no choice). Please don't let anyone rush you into a decision. Take your time and let this all sink in. When you are ready, you will know. Anon
I have a friend who is 34 and found out several weeks ago that she has a genetic syndrome that puts her at extremely high risk for ovarian and uterine cancer. Her dad died of colon cancer less than a year ago and they believe he had the same syndrome. She has done the research and because her risk of ovarian cancer in particular is so high, like 70% or something, she has decided to have a total hysterectomy including ovaries. She doesn't know anyone who has had this surgery at such a young age and is very concerned about the implications and side effects of HRT, in addition to being just plain frightened of course. She is probably having the surgery around Christmas. Does anyone have any experience with this that they would be willing to share with her? Thank you!!!
Please tell your friend that she is so very lucky that these genetics were caught early and that her doctors are wanting to do the surgery now. A dear friend of mine also had a strong genetic history of ovarian cancer, and her doctors scheduled her for a total hysterectomy for when she turned 40. She contracted the disease at 34 and died at 36.
If your friend wants biological children (I wasn't sure if she has them), she can work with her doctor now to do egg extractions before the surgery. anon
I have recently found out I am going to need to have a vaginal hysterectomy. Everything I have read on the internet about the recovery is frightening in light of the fact that I have small children. The doctor I spoke with today made it seem like the recovery is not so bad and if I have the surgery early enough in the day, I could even go home the same day. What's the real story? I am wondering if anyone out there has had one and if they can share their experience with me to manage my expectations and help me plan better as the surgery date nears. Thanks! Hoping for a quick recovery
On the other hand, I was able to wash a load of clothes the day I went home and could definitely walk around. Couldn't sit for very long though and I was not supposed to lift more than 10 lbs.
Now I did have a post op infection (but not serious enough to be rehospitalized) that probably resulted in a slower recovery but still having a major organ removed is NO JOKE and I cannot emphasize enough just how ''on empty'' you will be for quite a while AND of course there are the lifting and sitting restrictions for at least a couple of weeks. Been There
My sister ended up not being able to leave. In fact, she got very ill. Apparently, one in a thousand patients will have problems and she was that one. Everything that possibly could go wrong went wrong with her. She was in the hospital for 2 full weeks and she was extremely ill.
Realize that this is rare! She just happened to be that one in a thousand. She left the hospital 6 weeks ago and she is still recuperating. She's doing well, but she still takes it really easy. There are times when she just needs to lie down and rest. My sister is the busiest person that I know. She is someone who is always gone, never available, etc. This operation has changed her a lot. She just can't do the things that she had been able to do. She learned to listen to her body and rest when she felt that she needed it. Realize that you're not removing a wart. This is an enormous change for your body and you'll need the support afterwards to help you recuperate. Best of luck!!!
Has anyone had this procedure done? I'm going to have them removed primarily in the hopes of stopping prolonged bleeding (about 2 weeks+ per month). I'd like to hear from others who've had this procedure, and any cautions you'd offer. Thanks.
I will be undergoing a hysterectomy in a few weeks to deal with very large fibroids. I don't doubt that this is the right solution for the fibroids, but my surgeon has recommended that I have her remove my ovaries as well. I am probably within a couple of years of menopause (age 49) and I do have an aunt who had ovarian cancer. I'm wondering if surgical menopause will be significantly more difficult than natural menopause. The surgeon's plan is to start me on an estrogen patch at surgery and then wean me off it over the ensuing weeks or months. I would appreciate hearing about anyone's experience with this process. Thanks. hysterectomy-bound
Has anyone else experienced extreme fatique after a Hysterectomy? I had surgery 12 weeks ago and took my recovery very seriously (lots of rest etc.), but once going back to work and the hectic lifestyle, I am very tired all the time. I wake up in the morning tired, even after a good nights rest. My doctor did do a blood test to make sure my thyroid was working and I was not aneamic. The test came back normal. How can I get energy? I am being told that this is normal and it can take upto a year to feel good again. I am glad I had the surgery but I don't want to feel lousy again like I did when I was severly aneamic. I am taking a multi vitamin, calcium and vitamin C daily. Thanks Anon
If you find a support group in the Bay Area for this kind of thing, or want to talk more, please email me. There's some online stuff like HysterSisters.com but they're a little too Oprah for my cynical tastes (who needs a commemorative coffee mug fer chrissakes?!) Good luck!
I have a Hysterectomy scheduled for May 25, 2004 and I am so scared! I don't know if I'm doing the right thing and think I may back out of the surgery. I would really appreciate getting any advice. I am 39, have had one ovary removed due to a huge cyst. Have been diagonosed with Adenomyosis. I had to have two blood transfusions 3yrs ago due to severe Aneamia. Have been taking 1000mg of iron per day, and when I stopped taking it, became aneamic again. Monthly bleeding is getting heavier and heavier.My insurance runs out in June. I thought it would be best to get this taken care of while I still have good coverage. I trust my doctor, she says this problem will only get worse with time. I just keep reading so much negative stuff about unneccessary hysterectomy surgery, it's so confusing. I don't have too much time. I got a second opinion, but felt the doctor was trying to give me a sales pitch, said I could try ablation and if that didn't work get a hysterectomy done (all before June 30th when insurance runs out!) Other options I am aware of may help but nothing can stop the adenomyosis from progressing. My doctor says my hormones won't be affected because I still have one ovary, but I keep reading different info. on the internet. Should I beat around the bush, orjust get it done. I just don't know what to do. Any advice would help greatly, Thanks. Anon

We like our margaritas with a little kick, and we're not just talking about a floater of Patron. Lately we've been really into spicy margaritas, tossing a jalapeño slice or two into our beverages or using a pepper-infused tequila. When we've only got the makings for a basic margarita, we spice it up with some Chili Lime Margarita Salt ($8) on the rim. Instant zing, minimal work, just how we like it.

You don't have to be asleep in order to experience nightmares. Theresa Feldspar's nightmare is one of disorientation and disappearance. At once a sweeping epic, detective novel, surrealistic odyssey, and love story, Altamira is the tale of one woman's search for her missing husband. In Pollux's graphic novel, its tough and determined heroine Theresa unearths a vast world of danger and conspiracy, of Crossbowmen and See-sawmen, and of chthonic mysteries.
Pollux (né Paul Morris) was born in 1979 in the English town of Beverley, in what was the former East Riding of Yorkshire. He and his family moved to the United States a year later, and Pollux attended UCLA, studying medieval history and Latin and attended Brown University for grad school, studying medieval history. As a child, Pollux constantly drew and created his own comics, and while at grad school, he began drawing "Nigel and Beatrice" for The Brown Daily Herald. He has been creating comics ever since, creating the web comic Arnjuice (www.arnjuice.com) and he drew the daily comic "The Wavy Rule" for Emdashes.com. All of his graphic novels and novelettes are set in the fictional college town of San Tesifonte, California, which lies somewhere between Santa Barbara and Los Angeles. It is the location for UCST and is home to various museums, parks, beaches, Redwoods Restaurant (home to the famous Sequoia Steak Sandwich) and its pier.
Comment posted.
Kristenb83 says An epic Theresa adventure! The book takes you on a thrilling ride through Theresa's search for her husband, with a great unexpected twist. Pollux mixes humorous dialogue with page turning tension, played out by some unforgettable characters that all made this a wonderful read.

Wonderful fridge
By emma
from Dallas, TX, United States
Comments about Electrolux 22.6 Cu. Ft. Side-By-Side Refrigerator - Black on Black:
We have had this fridge for over 8 years and haven't had any issues with it until recently. We're getting it fixed, but I have loved this appliance and have felt it performed quite well. I love the counter depth in our galley-style kitchen - it maximizes our space. Great product!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Good Fridge for the price
By Hlfrech
from Greenville, SC, United States
I bought this fridge a little less than a year ago and overall it has been a good and reliable. The only problem I have had is that the water and ice dispenser on the front quit working and I was told by the repair man that you couldn't store anything in front of the air vent on the top shelf and that if you don't use much ice, you should dump the ice bin regularly. I feel that like somewhat of a design flaw as it is located in a place where you would store items. The only other thing that I have encountered that is bothersome is that the freezer is not large enough for a large frozen pizza the way it is configured. Luckily I don't eat many of them so it's not a big deal for me but may be for others.

Almost scared me off..
By pokey
from Wisconsin, United States
This Refrigerator is fine. I wanted to start out that way because of all the negative reviews I found on this model. I don't doubt people who posted had problems but 2 years ago? Designs change and happy people usually don't write reviews. I've very happy with my purchase of this appliance and to be known I'm a perfectionist, someone who is hard to make happy. The only issue I've had is with a door hinge "clicking" when opening closing. I sprayed a little cooking oil on it and from use it has corrected itself. I would not hesitate to buy another Electrolux appliance.
Poor quality
By lexingtonperson
from Lexington-Fayette, KY, United States
We bought our refrigerator in 2008, model # EI23CS55GS1 .Ice maker stopped working soon afterwards . In spite of at least two visits for repair , could not be fixed and had to be shut off. Next came the plastic parts, especially the tracks for the bin , which broke. Final straw was the thermostat and interface panel- both stopped working . This is or should I say was an expensive refrigerator with scant attention to the quality of its most important parts and functions.This is the first review of its kind I am writing , so one can imagine my disappointment with the product.Our previous refrigerator lasted over 20 years.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
The noise is HORRIBLE
By Joann
from Undisclosed
This refrigerator makes the most horrible loud noise. Nobody can stand to be in my kitchen. It roars constantly. It is quiet for less than 10 minutes a day.
Comments about my Electrolux Refrigerator
By Tim
Overall, we do like our refrigerator. The ice maker dispenser went out at 3 months otherwise the refrigerator is working good. We use a lot of ice. Wish it made more ice.
The Smart Refrigerator
By Gary
I recently purchased the Electrolux and it's "Awesome!" Aside from the crisper door needing repair the refrigerator is perfect. The convenience of the ice/water dispenser is like living in luxury, no need to hassle with ice cube trays, the shelves slide out and everything is easily accessible, "how genius," not to mention the controlled temperature within certain parts of the frig. It's perfection in the kitchen, absolute, awesome, perfection!
Pleased, but..
By Melissa
Happy with counterdepth side by side except the ice dispenser had to be replaced after 3 mos of use. There was a technician bulletin for the electronic control panel. Also there was an led light in the fridge that never worked since setup, only to find there is a short in that wiring the technician told us can't be fixed. Haven't spoke to Electrolux on this yet. I do really like the fridge, just wish the bugs were worked out. Early on, I did have opportunity to speak with associate from Electrolux, their customer service was excellant.
this fridge won me over
By Lisa
Well, I was in the market for a refrigerator that would work in my galley-style kitchen. After remodeling, I realized that the current fridge I had was too deep and stuck far out beyond the cabinets. After looking for several months at super expensive units that would fit in the space the way I wanted, and learning that there are multiple variations of "counter-depth" I found this refrigerator. It was an open-box unit, but not used. I loved the way it looked and the measurements were right so I scooped it up. After getting it home I was reading up on the model and saw a lot of complaints about the ice-maker. I was worried, and I felt it was somewhat my fault for not reading up on it before purchase, but I also thought "what are the odds?" Also, it seemed to be with units older than mine. Well, sure enough, ONE day after my return period from the store expired the ice maker stopped working!! Ugh. I tried all the trouble-shooting techniques to no avail, so I called someone out to service it (under warranty). They ended up replacing the unit and it's worked ever since. (About 3 months). Not only does the ice maker work, but it sometimes shoots out too much ice so you have to watch it! The water tastes great. The settings and space work exactly as I expected and it looks awesome in my kitchen! I was a bit intimidated by the many settings and controls, but so far, so good. So, I would recommend the unit to others looking for a decently-priced stylish and modern looking fridge--even with the ice issue I mentioned.

If you're looking for the perfect beach read, I've got your back. Here are my 10 recommendations for this summer, listed in no particular order:
1. Where'd You Go, Bernadette? by Maria Semple. The former Arrested Development writer's latest novel is a riotous examination of all things current. The paperback (or your Kindle) will fit right into your beach bag. Just try not to laugh too hard at the airport.
2. A Game of Thrones by George R. R. Martin. The fantasy novel that started HBO's hugely successful drama of the same name. The thick masterpiece might take you all summer to read, but that just cuts down on how many books you need to buy.
3. Divergent by Veronica Roth. Hailed as the next Hunger Games, Roth's series is perfect beach reading. Set in a dystopian Chicago, the novel is a real page turner. Read the book before the movie comes out next year.
4. Inferno by Dan Brown. The popular conspiracy novelist brings his popular Robert Langdon back for a new outing. Let's just hope it's better than The Lost Symbol!
5. Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn. If you somehow didn't read this blockbuster last year, do it now! Just be sure to reapply your sunscreen. You'll get a harsh sunburn from reading the whole novel in one sitting.
6. The Fault in Our Stars by John Green. One of the most talented writers in young adult, John Green's humorous tearjerker about terminally ill teenagers is more inspiring than depressing. But you'll want to bring some tissues for the last 70 pages.
7. That classic novel you've been meaning to read. Whether it's Anna Karenina, Moby-Dick, or Pride and Prejudice there's bound to be a really old book you want/need to read. Those classics are still around for a reason! And you'll look really smart reading it.
8. Any novel by Stephen King. While Under the Dome is having success as a limited-run series on CBS, any of King's horror novels will give you chills to cool off this hot weather. Misery is a particular favorite.
9. A humorous celebrity memoir. Tina Fey's Bossypants and Mindy Kaling's Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? are two recent favorites.
10. Pretty Little Liars by Sara Shepard. The basis for the hit TV show of the same name is packed with just as many juicy secrets.
What are your favorite beach reads? Leave a comment below! You can find all of these books at your local chain bookstore, online or at an independent bookstore near you (click here for a list). The jet-set crowd might want to download the eBook to their Kindle, Nook, iPad or other eBook reader.
