...Some of the original students remain, though FNL intends to cycle a few of them off this season as well. Former quarterback Matt Saracen (Zach Gilford) is trying to start adult life in Dillon, having given up art school in Chicago to care for his increasingly senile grandmother; the Taylors' daughter Julie (Aimee Teegarden) may out her parents as hypocrites when she insists on transferring to East Dillon over their objections. And tragic hunk Tim Riggins (Taylor Kitsch) is off to college - if he can overcome his low self-esteem and bad family history enough to tough...
SIGG has been around for more than 100 years, but it's been fairly recently that its bottles have popped up everywhere, with everyone. Much of its popularity can be traced to research publicized in 2007 about BPA's questionable safety. Since then, Chicago, Connecticut and Michigan have restricted the chemical, and more than 20 states are considering similar bans.

Radio Player Blagojevich's aptitude for politics and self-promotion is on display every Sunday, when he hosts a raucous, rant-heavy radio show for an AM station in Chicago's Loop. As a chief executive, Blagojevich, 52, earned a checkered reputation, but over the airwaves his gifts are self-evident.

"It was unbelievable," says Tom Duff, president of the post-production company that hired him for the gig. "This guy was our governor, and he's turning up his collar and singing Elvis on our dock." In another wink to the looming charges, Blagojevich appeared onstage in June...
...ease with which Blagojevich climbed the political ladder - and his upbringing in the back-scratching, wheel-greasing vortex of Chicago politics, where more than 1,500 people have been convicted of public corruption since 1970 - may explain why Blagojevich somehow considers dangling a U.S. Senate seat "routine." Even today, the comeback he's attempting to engineer - he told TIME he is "not ruling out the possibility" of a return to politics - is being driven in part by dollars. "We're in debt because I was an honest governor," he says. "O.K.? And now I don't have job prospects. This...
