An Italian Love Story

An Italian man enters his favorite ritzy restaurant and while sitting at his regular table, he noticed a gorgeous woman sitting at a table nearby….all alone. He calls the waiter over and asks for their most expensive bottle of Merlot to be sent over to her – knowing that if she accepts it, she is his. The waiter gets the bottle and quickly sends it over to the girl, saying this is from the gentleman.

She looks at the wine and decides to send a note over to the man. The note read: “For me to accept this bottle, you need to have a Mercedes in your garage, a million dollars in the bank, and 7 inches in your pants.”

The man, after reading the note, sends one of his own back to her and it read: “Just so you know – I happen to have a Ferrari Testarosa, a BMW 850iL, and a Mercedes 560SEL in my garage; plus I have over twenty million dollars in the bank. But, not even for a woman as beautiful as you, would I cut off three inches. Just send the bottle back.”

Victory at Indy would go a long way for Danica Patrick - and for Indy

Cynics say Danica Patrick is the Tiger Woods of open-wheel racing - without the victories.
It's not her fault she topped Woods and New England Patriots stud Tom Brady as the most-searched-for online athlete of 2008, according to an AOL study. She happens to look better in a bikini, as she demonstrated in the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue.
Beyond the ogling, though, the 5-foot-2, 100-pound driver from Roscoe, Ill., is an accomplished and talented open-wheel competitor. She proved that on April 20, 2008, when she won an Indy Racing League event in Motegi, Japan, becoming the first woman to capture a major oval race.
Patrick, who recently shot one of those ''Got Milk'' ads, is very capable of taking another milk chug - the traditional celebratory beverage for the winner - at today's 93rd running of the Indianapolis 500.
There are drivers who rate ahead of her if you're handicapping the race, but Patrick, who will start 10th, has all the tools to make history. It would be a great boost for the IRL, which, like almost every other commercial venture in the United States, is feeling the economic crunch.
As usual, the top teams are the best bets at the Brickyard, which opened 100 years ago. Two years later, it hosted the inaugural Indy 500, which Ray Harroun won in 6 hours, 42 minutes, 8 seconds - at an average speed of 74.6 mph.
The favorites this year include Team Penske drivers Helio Castroneves and Ryan Briscoe, the top two qualifiers; the Target Ganassi tandem of Dario Franchitti (3rd) and Scott Dixon (5th); and Patrick's Andretti Green teammates, Tony Kanaan and Marco Andretti. Graham Rahal, the son of former Indy winner Bobby Rahal, also has established himself as a serious challenger. Rahal, who drives for Newman/Haas/Lanigan, qualified fourth.
Castroneves, the pole-sitter, seems to be a man on a mission. He won at Indy in 2001 and '02 and narrowly was beaten by Penske teammate Gil de Ferran in '03.
Since then, Castroneves went on to win ''Dancing With the Stars'' after the 2007 IRL season. And in what might have been the biggest victory of his career, he was found not guilty last month on six counts of federal tax evasion. That enabled Castroneves, who had been facing possible prison time, to get back into the open-wheel car he loves.
''That was the best medicine, the best therapy,'' he said. ''After six months of just thinking about or focusing on that (tax-evasion) subject, all of a sudden I was able to do what I love and do what I know how to do. It was the best feeling in the world coming back to the race car, coming back to the race environment.''
All things considered, Castroneves' chief rivals shape up as Dixon, a low-key New Zealander, and Kanaan, an animated Brazilian who has been pals with Castroneves since boyhood. Dixon won the Indy 500 last year on the way to the IRL championship. Kanaan, the best driver who hasn't won the race, is making his eighth Indy start. He never has started lower than sixth and has four top-10 finishes.
Also very much in the hunt are Briscoe, an Australian who always runs fast at Indy, and Franchitti, who won the race in 2007 driving for Andretti Green.
Nor should youngsters Andretti and Rahal be overlooked. They are far more than the next generation; they are exceptionally talented drivers who would be charismatic winners, something the IRL certainly could use in these uncertain economic times.
No winner would attract more attention than Patrick, 27, who burst onto the scene when she finished fourth at Indy four years ago. The gender-barrier angle, combined with her glamour-girl hype, would be over the top if she were to add a victory in the most famous race in the world.
Those who follow the sport know Patrick also has acquired a reputation as a bit of a prima donna. She once stomped down pit row, apparently planning to confront another driver before abandoning that notion. And there have been other incidents.
Saying that stuff is overblown, Patrick explained she merely was trying to make a statement about not just being happy to be here.
''I've learned from the past,'' she said. ''I think I always felt like I had to prove to people that I cared and that I wasn't happy being fifth or 12th or something by being mad. It just doesn't really pay off, and it turns people off. It's a lot easier and a lot more fun to be relaxed. It's all bunnies and rainbows around here.''
No statement would be louder, she knows, than winning at the hallowed Brickyard.

FIRST LOOK: Audrina Patridge Plays a PETA Angel

Audrina Patridge an angel? Hills fans might think it's a bit of a stretch, but the reality TV star is donning her wings – and a sexy white bikini! – in a new campaign for PETA, revealed first on PEOPLE.
On a billboard set to be unveiled Wednesday on L.A.'s Beverly Boulevard, Patridge poses in the sexy angel outfit with her rescued dog, Speedy Gonzalez, next to the line, "Be an Angel for Animals-Always Adopt, Never Buy."
In a statement released by PETA, Patridge says, "Each year, 6 to 8 million unwanted dogs and cats are turned in to shelters, and half are killed because there aren't enough good homes. The solution is as easy as ABC – animal birth control. Always spay and neuter, and never buy from a pet store or a breeder." – Mark Dagostino

merican Idol': Paula Abdul tells ABC's "Nightline" that her contract is up at season's end, but she loves the show

Will she stay or will she go?
"American Idol" judge Paula Abdul tells ABC's "Nightline" that this is her last season under contract.
Cynthia McFadden asks if Abdul wants to stay with the singing contest.
"I love the show, I do," Abdul says. "I love what I do on the show, and I'm loving it more this season than ever. It's taken me a while to get comfortable in my own skin with the show."
The interview will air at 11:35 p.m. Thursday on WFTV-Channel 9.
In other highlights, Abdul:
* Calls Simon Cowell "a masterful bully."
* Says she started fellow judge Kara DioGuardi's success and says there's no tension between the two of them.
"I actually think that Simon got mad that we are friends and that I actually knew her," Abdul says. "I just believed in her."
* Says she has never used alcohol before the show and has never been drunk in her life. "It's not my thing," Abdul says. "Spending money on clothes and shoes, that's another thing."

Source disputes dire reports about Farrah Fawcett's health

Farrah Fawcett is being treated for anal cancer that has spread to her liver and has been hospitalized for a complication from a routine treatment, a producer who worked with the actress and her doctor said Monday, The Associated Press reported.
In separate phone interviews with AP, Fawcett's producer and her doctor said that Fawcett is in a Los Angeles hospital, recovering from complications from a medical procedure in Germany, and is "not on death's door," as the producer, Craig Nevius, put it.
Nevius, who has worked with the actress, confirmed that the 62-year-old "Charlie's Angels" star, who has been fighting cancer since 2006, was hospitalized in Los Angeles because of a blood clot that was likely a side effect of treatment.
Nevius said Fawcett is expected to leave the hospital in a few days.

Danica Patrick

Danica Sue Patrick (born March 25, 1982 in Beloit, Wisconsin) is an American auto racing driver, currently competing in the IndyCar Series. She was raised in Roscoe, Illinois. Patrick was named the Rookie of the Year for both the 2005 Indianapolis 500 and the 2005 IndyCar Series season. In May 2006, she published her autobiography, Danica: Crossing the Line. With her win in the 2008 Indy Japan 300, Patrick became the first woman to win an Indy car race. She also has an equity stake in her #7 team.
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) -- Danica Patrick's season got off to a tough start after she crashed out early in the season-opening Honda Grand Prix.
She was running ninth in the 22-car field on Sunday when rookie Raphael Matos tried to pass as the two went into one of the tightest turns on the 1.8-mile, 14-turn temporary street circuit.
Both cars crashed, with Patrick's Andretti Green Racing entry slamming hard, rear end first into a tire barrier.
As the uninjured drivers walked away, Patrick patted Matos on the helmet as if to say, "Use your head." The two then waited for a ride back to the pits, with a lively discussion taking place as Matos sat on a wall and Patrick stood in front of him.
Patrick, who has been known to blow up at other drivers in similar circumstances, was calm after she got back to the team's pit.
"It's not exactly the ideal spot to pass," she said. "We were going into the fast chicane there and there's no room, there's no room for two people. ... I was looking in my mirrors and I saw him. He just wasn't all the way up next to me."
Matos, making his IndyCar debut with the Luczo Dragon team, wasn't ready to take the blame.
"We just had a very unfortunate racing accident," the Brazilian said. "It shouldn't have happened. Danica made a big mistake passing a lapped car and I really had a good run on her. I was halfway up on her. I thought she'd give me enough room to pass, but she didn't."
Patrick, the only woman in the field, ended her day in 19th and Matos was 20th. Each completed just 31 of 100 laps.

Prescription drug

A prescription drug is a licensed medicine that is regulated by legislation to require a prescription before it can be obtained. The term is used to distinguish it from over-the-counter drugs which can be obtained without a prescription. Different jurisdictions have different definitions of what constitutes a prescription drug.
Dispensation of prescription drugs often includes a monograph (in Europe, a Patient Information Leaflet or PIL) that gives detailed information about the drug.
In the United States, the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act defines what requires a prescription. Prescription drugs are generally authorized by veterinarians, dentists, optometrists, and medical practitioners. It is generally required that an MD, DO, PA, OD, DPM, DVM, DDS, or DMD write the prescription; basic-level registered nurses, medical assistants, clinical nurse specialists, nurse anesthetists, and nurse midwives, emergency medical technicians, psychologists, and social workers as examples, do not have the authority to prescribe drugs.
The package insert for a prescription drug contains information about the intended effect of the drug and how it works in the body. It also contains information about side effects, how a patient should take the drug, and cautions for its use, including warnings about allergies.
The safety and effectiveness of prescription drugs in the US is regulated by the federal Prescription Drug Marketing Act of 1987. The Food and Drug Administration is charged with implementing this law.
As a general rule, over the counter (OTC) drugs are used to treat conditions not necessarily requiring care from a health care professional and have been proven to meet higher safety standards for self-medication by patients. Often a lower strength of a drug will be approved for OTC use, while higher strengths require a prescription to be obtained; a notable case is ibuprofen, which has been widely available as an OTC pain killer since the mid-1980s but is still available by prescription in doses up to four times the OTC dose for use in cases of severe pain not adequately controlled by the lower, OTC strength.
Herbal preparations, vitamins, minerals, and food supplements are not regulated by the FDA, so the individual consumer must be aware of the potential negative effects of using these preparations and also the potential interactions with prescription drugs they may be taking.
In the United States, the term "prescription drug" is most commonly used, but they are also called Rx-only drugs or legend drugs, after the Federal and State laws which mandate that all such drugs bear a "legend" prohibiting sale without a prescription; though more complex legends have been used, on most original drug packaging today the legend simply says "Rx only". In the United Kingdom, they are referred to as Prescription Only Medicine or POM.
Also, pharmacies operated by membership clubs, such as Costco and Sam's Club, by law must allow non-members to use their pharmacy services and must charge the same prices as to members.
Physicians may legally prescribe drugs for uses other than those specified in the FDA approval; this is known as off-label use. Drug companies may not promote or market drugs for off-label uses.
