State police investigate shooting by city officer
I'm just hoping that it wasn't an inexperienced or young officer that overreacted," Morofsky said, "and the neighbors that I talked to over at L&L and Rite Aid last night are wondering the same thing." Morofsky added that he's upset that this incident comes on the heels of another shooting that happened on Lansing's south side last year. "It raises questions, 'cause, gee-whiz, here we go again," Morofsky said. On Dec. 4, Lansing police officer Scott Ellis shot a 26-year-old man in a southside Super 8 Motel bathroom after the man fired a gunshot that barely missed several officers, according to investigators. Joseph Carter of Lansing, a parolee, died several days later. Ellis, an 11-year veteran, was cleared in the shooting. Some Lenore Avenue residents say the man police shot Monday suffered from bipolar disorder and sometimes didn't take his medication but was a peaceful man.

Flavors of Italy/Coral Springs
Chef Guido Barisone has long held a place in the hungry hearts of Coral Springs.
His name, associated with Casa Barisone on Sample Road (he sold in 2003), and Flavors of Italy Restaurant & Lounge, (which now gets his undivided attention), brings thoughts of Northern Italian food with continental dabblings.
Barisone uses his attractive setting with elegant marble highlights as a culinary stage for fine dining, including fresh flowers, candlelight, and a globally inspired wine list. Most importantly, he softly seduces his guests into thinking beyond lasagna and minestrone -- though they're both on the menu.

Cleveland emerges as a dining hot spot
In his latest book, the world-famous food writer insists that everybody should be using veal stock in their home kitchen. He advises all meat eaters to slaughter and eat their kill once in their lives. And earlier this year, on his influential Web site ruhlman.com, he launched a withering attack on the unsuspecting chicken Caesar salad.
So you might think that this dashing uber-foodie would make his home in a culinary capital such as New York, San Francisco or even Chicago, right?

Gluttons for refreshment
Had Paulo Marchi become a chef, as he dreamt when he was 16, it is difficult to imagine his appearance would differ greatly from what it is now. A beard covers an obviously jolly face below which is a plump frame that would have filled out a chef's jacket and apron. No one would have worried about eating less than magnificently at Casa Marchi. But when he was interviewed as a possible apprentice by a traditional Milanese chef more than 30 years ago, he was told that he would have to spend his first year peeling potatoes. Instead, he decided to take the much riskier option of freelance sports writing like his father. Marchi wrote initially for Il Giornale about football, skiing and sailing before turning to food and restaurants. .
