• Hot Links: Arizona Gets Fewer New Border Patrol Agents; GOP Asks Napolitano Not to Sign Orders; Tumor in Brain is Fully Formed Foot

  The Arizona Republic has analyzed the distribution of new Border Patrol agents and come to the conclusion that our state is getting screwed. Janet Napolitano has one foot in Washington D.C. and one hand on a pen in Arizona as she prepares to sign an executive order she thinks the new Republican administration needs. In the "fascinating-but-disgusting" category, we have a story about a tumor in a baby's brain that turned out to be a fully formed foot.

• Chow Bella Road Trip: Raku

  The tiny counter at RakuI don't get people who hate Las Vegas. What's not to love about a city devoted to modern-day Roman-style excess, with interesting restaurants at every turn? I just got back from a long weekend there, and I can't think of any better destination to take you far away from the daily b.s. in a short amount of time. I love the fantasy of it, the sheer variety of foods, the way you can stroll through a casino and browse fine-dining menus as if you were window s

• Roka Akor Gets a National Nod

  Did your April Bon Appetit land in your mailbox yet? Mine just did, and I was happy to see Scottsdale's chic Roka Akor included in restaurant editor Andrew Knowlton's list of ten best new places for sushi. Sure, the place stands out from the crowd more for its unusual robatayaki offerings than its sushi (sit at the counter and you're facing a grill, not a case full of fish), but the raw seafood here is still certainly worth the props. And consider the kickass company it's keeping -- San Francis
