| | | Janet Napolitano Oversaw a Massive Ethnic-Cleansing Against Immigrants BY STEPHEN LEMONS  If you enjoy nausea, the effusive praise for departing U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, should be just your cup of castor oil. After four-plus years as DHS chief, in charge of a sprawling government agency with 240,000 employees and 22 government agencies, Napolitano announced her resignation last week, giving up on President Barack Obama's ever kicking her up the food chain to become U.S. Attorney General, her dream job. Now she's off to run the University of California system, with its 10 campuses, more than 230,000 students and nearly 19,000 faculty, at an annual salary of about three times her current $200,000 with the feds. There's been speculation that her departu... more >>

Weird that a band with a catalog of entirely dissimilar albums has survived 30 years. Weird that influences include hippies, Gypsies, and Ravi Shankar. Weird that fans run the gamut from punk rockers to indi... more >> | | | | | | | | Lucky's King Wah: Where the Chef's Special Is Indeed Special BY LAURA HAHNEFELD  If you're a diner of the adventurous sort and happen to visit Lucky's King Wah in Glendale, it's a good idea to remember the words "Chef's Special." Not a single dish but an assortment of several, the Chef's Special is more or less the Chinese restaurant's off-the-cuff version of omakase, the Japanese term that leaves your meal up to the chef. In this case, Hong Kong-born Kwok Pat. You won't fi... more >> | | | | | | Only God Forgives: Gosling and Refn Team Up Again BY STEPHANIE ZACHAREK  Incest, eyeball-gouging, interior decorating: If Only God Forgives is any indication, writer-director Nicolas Winding Refn is a man of many interests. He's also put Kristin Scott Thomas in a blond wig and an assortment of cougar-mom outfits, which is either a plus or a minus, depending how you look at it. The movie, in which Ryan Gosling plays an American drug smuggler living the low life in Bang... more >> | | | | | | | | The Torch Theatre Is all About Community -- and Fun BY KIM PORTER  I'm standing out front of the Torch Theatre — an improv space in downtown Phoenix — on a recent Saturday night, asking the performers how improv has impacted their lives. I feel like I'm getting two shows for the price of one. The first was the one I just watched inside the theater, where a single audience suggestion — "George Michael" — resulted in an entire show about a ... more >> | | | | | | Chow Bella It's been established: With airline crashes, it's never one thing. It's usually a combination of three. More on this later. I love the sea. (Yeah, that's why I live in Arizona.) I grew up in Au...
