Taylor Swift Dishes on Besties Selena Gomez + Emma Stone
Taylor Swift admits she is trying to live a normal life under abnormal circumstances: the celebrity fishbowl. While the thin-skinned singer avoids reading her own press at all costs, even if she does catch wind of something that hurts her feelings and knocks her on her rump, she has two very good girlfriends she can cry to: fellow singer Selena Gomez and actress Emma Stone.
In her Access Hollywood chat, Swift, looking resplendent in red, said that Mission: Critical is keeping in touch with her besties no matter how crazy their lives or their schedules get. They've had stuff change in their lives, but their friendships have stayed the same. That means they're rock solid.
So who does she turn to in certain moments? In a breakup, she'll call Stone. And then write a song! We speculated about the latter, but judging from her catalog of hits, we don't think we're wrong about that assumption.
Who does she text or call for career advice? Gomez, which is wise, since she's in the same professional position. For fashion advice, she calls her friend Ashley.
Swift also admits that she ceasesd seeking out media reports about herself, since it drove her cray cray. She found herself wanting to correct every erroneous fact she stumbled upon and to eradicate the gossip. The untruths got to her, and despite the fact that she could hire a team of publicists to deal with media misinformation, it still got under her skin, thin as it is.
"You sort of have to realize that your fans know who you are and what you will and won't do," she said about how she conquered that neurosis, accepting that her fans would never believe nonsense like that she went commando or cheated on her boyfriend with a member of his family.
She has elected to let the gossips gossip and she'll make music. Good choice, since 'Red' is on pace to sell over a million copies this week, making it by far the biggest first week sales tally of 2012.
Swift may not be tough enough to handle gossip, but at least she has good girlfriends that can support her in her darkest hours!

Product Description
30kw microwave sterilizer for vacuum packing wet noodles
What is Microwave?
Microwave is the frequency of 300 MHZ ~ 300 GHZ electromagnetic wave, it is short radio waves in a limited frequency band, the wavelength between 1 mm ~ 1 m electromagnetic wave, it is generally referred to as the decimeter wave, centimeter wave and millimeter wave. Microwave frequency is higher than general radio frequency, often also referred to as "ultra high frequency electromagnetic wave. As a kind of electromagnetic wave of microwave also have wave-particle duality. Basic properties of microwave usually appears as transmission, reflection and absorption three characteristics. For glass, plastic and porcelain, microwave is almost through without being absorbed. For water and food, etc. will absorb microwave and heating by itself. For metal stuff, it will bounce back the microwave.
microwave drying principle:
microwave drying is a new type of drying method. When drying, microwave converted into heat energy that can be applied directly to medium, because the microwave has penetrating performance inside and outside the media, heating at the same time, do not need to heat conduction, so very fast heating, the water content below 30% of food, can shorten the drying speed hundreds of times. Regardless of any shape objects, because the object of dielectric heating at the same time, both inside and outside material of inside and outside temperature difference is small, uniform heating, the drying quality greatly improved.
Microwave sterilizing principle:
1. The heating effect of the microwave energy: in a certain intensity under the action of microwave field, insects and bacteria in food experience by molecular polarization, absorption of microwave energy to heat up, making it the protein denaturation, lose their biological activity.Plays a role of quick heat sterilization microwave thermal effect mainly.
2. The microwave non-thermal effect: high frequency electric field makes the membrane potential, polar molecule structure change, make the protein and physiological active substances in microbial mutation, and loss of energy or death.In sterilization by conventional physical sterilization no special effect, is also one reason for killing bacteria.
3. The microwave sterilization, keeping fresh is the result of the combination of microwave thermal effect and non-thermal effect. Therefore, microwave sterilization temperature is lower than the conventional method, under normal circumstances, the conventional method of sterilization temperature to 120 ℃ to 130 ℃, time of about 1 hour, and microwave sterilization temperature to 60 ℃ to 70℃, only about 4-5mins, it also depends on the different products.

The delectable George Clooney has finally let us into the reason behind his eternal singlehood. And, no, it's not because he's gay! C'mon, people, George loves the ladies. It's because 52-year-old George just hasn't met the right woman yet. I know. It seems like he's dated every woman 25 to 35 in Hollywood. But that doesn't mean he's met the right woman. Don't believe me? Just ask George. Asked who was the love of his life, picky ol' George replied: "I haven't met her yet." Daaang, George. That's because she probably hasn't been born yet. You'll be 80, she'll be 20. I know the drill.
George, I meet your type all the time. Guys like you grow out of the sidewalks here in New York City. Guys in their 50s or older who still haven't settled down because they haven't found "the one." You know why they haven't? Because she doesn't fucking exist.
George, you've dated a bevy of lovelies. A whole 18-wheeler trailer truck full. There was Stacy Keibler. Kelly Preston. Krista Allen. Renee Zellweger. Sarah Larson. Elisabetta Canalis. Need I go on?!
George, any one of these beautiful ladies would have been fine to settle down with. You just didn't want to do it. It's not that you haven't met the love of your life yet. It's that your standards are a tad unrealistic.
More From The Stir: Stacy Keibler Looks Like a Completely Different Person After Breakup With George Clooney (PHOTO)
Any woman -- any human being -- is going to have flaws. Like the fact that Renee's pinky toe was slightly longer than the fourth toe. Was that really worth breaking up over? Or the fact that Stacy Keibler once had an eyelash fall onto her cheek? It's just an eyelash, George. They grow back. It was really rude to accuse her of "falling apart" before your very eyes.
George went on to say that his first loves were Audrey Hepburn and Grace Kelly. So typical of guys like this to give their hearts to dead chicks.
I do, however, think George has overlooked his true love. She's been staring him right in the face all of these years. She can be found in any of George's house mirrors. She looks just like -- George!
Do you think George needs to just get over it and settle down?

Just had to throw that in! :-)

Federal foreclosure settlement a disappointment
New London - After going through "19 months of hell," Christine Denoia had hoped for a large payment from a $9.3 billion federal compensation fund that penalized some of the nation's largest financial institutions for abusive tactics such as wrongful evictions.
Instead, when the 51-year-old city resident received her check in the mail from the Independent Foreclosure Review last week, she found her share of the money was $500 - not even enough to retain an attorney to pursue a lawsuit against her lender, Bank of America.
"Every month, I had the anxiety of 'Am I going to be thrown out of my home?'" Denoia said. "This is a joke."
Denoia was one of more than 4 million people scheduled to receive a share of $3.6 billion in initial cash payments set up after federal banking regulators and more than a dozen mortgage servicers, including Chase, Citibank, Morgan Stanley, Wachovia and Washington Mutual, came to an agreement over abusive foreclosure tactics.
Bank of America, one of the banks included in the agreement, noted in an email to The Day that payments were set by U.S. regulators, not the financial institutions.
"Borrowers who received proper consideration for foreclosure alternatives, were not foreclosed upon and experienced little or no financial harm receive minimum payments under the government's framework," spokesman Richard G. Simon said.
Payments for abuses that occurred in 2009 and 2010 were to range from $300 to a maximum of $125,000, according to the agreement finalized in January. The larger amounts would go to those forced from their homes despite being current on mortgage payments, as well as to an estimated 1,100 active duty military personnel who were evicted despite a federal law prohibiting this practice.
Some of the first checks to go out this month bounced, according to a report at Forbes.com. The Federal Reserve acknowledged consumers had problems cashing their checks at first but assured that the problems had been corrected.
"Funds are available to cash all checks," the Fed said in a statement issued shortly after the bounced-check problems occurred.
Criticism of the foreclosure review surfaced during a Congressional hearing earlier this month at which Democratic politicians questioned the cozy relationships between regulators and banks.
"People want to know that their regulators are watching out for the American public - not for the banks," U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., said during the hearing.
In addition to $3.6 billion in direct cash compensation, the fund contains another $5.7 billion intended to help prevent future foreclosures by increasing the number of mortgage modifications and even forgiving portions of loans.
The Independent Foreclosure Review proceedings are not to be confused with a separate $25 billion Mortgage Foreclosure Servicing Settlement that state Attorney General George Jepsen announced in February 2011. The settlement with five large loan servicing companies will help compensate up to 7,500 Connecticut borrowers who lost their homes to foreclosure from 2008 to 2011, and the first checks are expected to go out next month.
Jepsen spokeswoman Susan Kinsman said state residents are expected to receive an average of about $1,500 from the servicing settlement - three times what New London resident Denoia got from the foreclosure review process. Denoia said she never knew about or applied for funds from the servicing settlement.
Denoia, who has been on disability for the past six years and also gets child support, acknowledged that she received principal reduction approval from Bank of America in August that knocked nearly $20,000 off her mortgage. This came after she had filed a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
Denoia complained to regulators about what she felt were Bank of America's unfair tactics from the start, claiming that she was told her loan would carry an interest rate of about 6.5 percent only to learn later that it had been set at slightly more than 7 percent. What's more, taxes were not included in her mortgage payment, though she thought they would be. This meant she had to come up with another $350 every month for her housing expenses.
"I did as best as I could for a while," she said, while trying to cover the monthly housing costs of $1,650, "then I asked for help."
A series of setbacks
Having not received the requested loan modification, in October 2008 Denoia stopped paying on her $181,000 mortgage and sent complaints first to the state Department of Banking, then to U.S. Sen. Christopher Dodd, D-Conn., and Attorney General Richard Blumenthal. Finally, she had her case transferred to the federal Office of Comptroller of the Currency.
The OCC sent Denoia a letter backing Bank of America. She said she had provided documentation that showed some of the bank's inconsistencies and inaccuracies, including confusing Denoia's Freeman Street home with the address of a house she had earlier hoped to purchase in Waterford. All of the errors, she said, could be proved through court documents.
In June 2009, Bank of America filed for foreclosure. But a few months later, the bank offered her what she called a trial modification that lowered her payments to $814 a month - about $400 less than her initial mortgage with only 2 percent interest - if she made three consecutive monthly payments on time.
She made the payments, she said, and then was told by a Bank of America representative not to send any further checks until paperwork for the permanent modification arrived. The paperwork never came, and the bank later claimed that it didn't offer the permanent modification because it stopped receiving payments, according to documents provided by Denoia.
Bank spokesman Simon last week said that what Denoia considered a trial modification was really a "short-term forbearance plan" that offered temporary relief from high payments. This, however, is contradicted by a letter that Bank of America sent to Denoia in April 2010 that referred to the "three month trial modification" that began in September 2009.
Simon went on to point out that the financial institution worked through a mediator for a long period of time and three years later offered a trial modification that became permanent last February. Denoia said she has been current with her mortgage ever since.
"Her modified loan included the lowest interest rate (2 percent for the first five years, capped at 3.875 percent, the market rate at the time of the modification), the longest term (40 years), and interest-free forbearance of a substantial amount of principal, resulting in the lowest monthly payment possible under the modification guidelines for her loan," Simon said.
Denoia, who acknowledged the bank's agreement to waive nearly $20,000 in charges she racked up while withholding payments on her loan, has a different take on the permanent modification. She points out that the second modification came with payments nearly $200 above what she previously had been paying.
"'You had a chance to do the right thing after I made the first three payments,'" Denoia said she told the bank's representatives. "I was so furious."
Friends thought she was wasting her time, but in 2010, Denoia wrote to President Barack Obama. A couple of weeks later, she received a letter from the Council of Inspectors General on Financial Oversight at the U. S. Department of the Treasury saying that she could join in the foreclosure-review process.
"I'm thinking this is my magic bullet," she said.
Instead, she ended up receiving $500, with no information about how the review process reached that number and no way to appeal.
"I was just devastated," she said. "I cried all night. ... For me, it was more of an insult than anything else."
Denoia nevertheless cashed her check while making her feelings known to Bank of America officers at the Waterford branch. She said they asked her what it would take to satisfy her.
"My home," she replied, meaning the bank should turn over the deed to her.
Asked for a second choice, Denoia said she didn't back down. "My home and punitive damages," she said.
As with every step of the process, Denoia left the bank without a final resolution.
Bank of America, however, said the Denoia case illustrates its commitment to avoiding foreclosure.
"She ... now has a fresh start with the most affordable payment available through the modification process," spokesman Simon said.

A Chaotic 4th of July for the City of Bangor {Update-Shooter Identified}
Bangor police say they have charged Perrin Oliver, 43, of Bangor with Class C Felony Criminal Threatening and Class B Felony Aggravated Reckless Conduct With a Firearm. A handgun was taken into evidence and the department's Evidence Response Team is still investigating with the Criminal Investigations Division.
Many 4th of July Parade spectators never even knew Bangor police were working frantically to change the parade route Thursday morning after a man started firing a weapon on Park street downtown.
Sgt. Paul Edwards with the Bangor Police Department says around 8:30 a.m., they received word that a woman and baby had left an apartment at 47 Park Street and a despondent man was firing shots inside the building.
Police immediately secured the area and started to evacuate people in the Park Street building, and buildings nearby, and all of the parade spectators who were flooding into the area on foot.
Sgt. Edwards says the man fired multiple rounds.
"The suspect that's in custody, did in fact shoot what I've been told was close to 70 or more shots," stated Sgt. Edwards
Some of those shots according to police were out the window and they wanted to protect both parade spectators and participants. That's when they made the decision to let the 4th of July Parade start, but with an altered route.
Police were engaged with the shooter for more than two hours using negotiation and the robot to set off tear gas, successfully taking the man into custody as the parade was underway a few blocks away.
That's when they got the word from dispatch an accident had happened along the parade at the intersection of Water and Main Streets.
This investigation is also ongoing for the Bangor Police Department but Sgt. Edwards says witnesses report the man driving the tractor flipped over as he was making the turn onto Water Street and the Bangor antique fire truck driving behind couldn't stop in time and drove over the top of the small John Deer green tractor killing the male driver instantly.
Sgt. Edwards says they immediately called in grief counselors to support spectators who were mortified by what they had just witnessed.
"It was awful. Just terrible," said Sgt. Edwards.
Sgt. Edwards encourages anyone who witnessed the accident to reach out for support to your family doctor, clergy, or counselor, especially if children witnessed the tragedy.
No names have yet been released in either incident.

Senior guard Mike Smith named to preseason All A-Sun team
MACON, Ga. (Oct. 7, 2009) - The ETSU men's basketball team was picked fourth by the Atlantic Sun Conference coaches and fifth by the league's media in preseason polls release Wednesday by the conference office.
The conference's two most recent tournament champions, ETSU (2009) and Belmont (2006-08) place fourth and fifth, depending on the poll. The Buccaneers edged out the Bruins for the spot from the coaches while the media gave the nod the Bruins. Both teams suffered tremendous losses due to graduation. ETSU must replace Courtney Pigram (Memphis) and Kevin Tiggs (Flint, Mich.), one of the highest scoring duos in the nation a season ago. Mike Smith (Vandalia, Mo.), a Preseason All-Atlantic Sun selection looks to build a bounce-back season in 2008-09 when he averaged more than 15 points and seven rebounds per game. Belmont graduated four starters from a 20-win season including Player of the Year Alex Renfroe.
Meanwhile, Jacksonville's three-year ascent up the Atlantic Sun basketball standings reached the pinnacle last season, winning the regular-season title. In the preseason media poll, announced Wednesday, the Dolphins ran away as the favorite. Meanwhile, the coaches voted Jacksonville a co-favorite with Lipscomb.
Last season, the Dolphins won their first ever regular-season title and made their first postseason appearance, an NIT berth, in 22 years. They return four starters from last year, anchored by Ben Smith, the conference's preseason Player of the Year. The two-time First-Team All-Atlantic Sun performer averaged 16.9 points per game to go along with 4.0 assists and 2.2 steals per contest. For the second year in a row, he led in the league in minutes per game, averaging more than 36 per game.
For 2009, the conference recognized 10 student-athletes for the preseason All-Atlantic Sun team. Led by Smith, three Dolphins received accolades as forwards Lehmon Colbert and junior Ayron Hardy made the team. Hardy, last year's Defensive Player of the Year added 10.1 points per game on 60.6 percent shooting. Colbert contributed 11.8 points per game and 6.2 rebounds per game.
The Bisons shared first in the coaches' poll and took second from the media. Hopes for the a first NCAA Tournament appearance figure to land on the broad shoulders of junior center Adnan Hodzic, a member of the preseason All-Atlantic Sun team. A year ago, the Bosnia native emerged as one the league's top post players, averaging 17.1 points and 7.1 rebounds per game. He connected on 58.7 percent of his field-goal attempts.
The Mercer Bears ranked third in both coaches and media polls. Year one of the Bob Hoffman era resulted in a six-win improvement from 2007-08. The Bears return four starters, headlined by a pair of seniors, guard James Florence and forward Daniel Emerson - both of whom earned spots on the Preseason All-Atlantic Sun team. For the third consecutive season, Florence averaged at least 20 points per game against A-Sun foes. He enters his final season ranking fifth on the Bears' all-time scoring list needing 250 points to pass Sam Mitchell as the school's all-time leading scorer and 13 more to reach the 2,000-point mark. With a career scoring average of 19.7 points per game, he owns the highest per game average among seniors across the nation. Emerson made a big impact in his first season with Mercer, averaging a double-double (13.8 PPG, 10.7 RPG). In addition to the anticipation of the coming season, Mercer's University Center will serve as the venue for the General Shale Brick Atlantic Sun Basketball Championships in March. Mercer, a charter member of the Atlantic Sun, has never hosted the league's premier championship.
Both parties agreed on their sixth-place team, the Campbell Camels. For the first time since the 1999-2000 season, the Camels posted a winning record in league play at 11-9. This season marks the final year for forward Jonathan Rodriguez. Linked with Florence since they joined the league together in 2006, Rodriguez begins the year ranking among the top five seniors in the country in career points, scoring average, rebounding, rebounding average and double doubles.
The coaches voted Stetson and FGCU to a tie for seventh while the Hatters finished slightly ahead of the Eagles in the media ballot. The Hatters feature senior guard A.J. Smith, a preseason All-Atlantic Sun choice. Last season he averaged 12.6 points and 3.8 assists per game. UNF, under new head coach Matt Driscoll, and Kennesaw State, eligible for the postseason for the first time as full-fledged Division-I members placed ninth and 11th, depending on the two polls with USC Upstate sandwiched in between the two schools. The Spartans' 7-3 center, Nick Schneiders rounds out the 10-man preseason All-Atlantic Sun team. Last season he averaged 9.5 points, 6.1 rebounds and a conference-leading 2.6 blocks per game, up from 4.9 PPG, 4.8 RPG and 0.8 BPG a season earlier.
With Kennesaw State and UNF gaining access to the A-Sun Championship, the tournament bracket returns to an eight-team format. The quarterfinals will take place over two days, Wednesday, March 3 and Thursday, March 4 followed by the semifinals on Friday, March 5 and title game the next day.

The Honda S2000 is a two-seat, performance-oriented, pure roadster made from 2000 to 2009. This peppy little sports car aims to compete directly with vehicles such as the BMW Z4, Audi TT, and Pontiac Solstice GXP. It marks Honda's first foray into the sports car market since the 1960s when the company produced the roadsters S500, S600, and S800.
The S2000 really has its own niche within the roadster class. It offers more power and better performance than the Miata, but lacks the luxury and the expense of the more upscale Z4, TT, or SLK. That gives the Honda roadster its own place in the market for buyers who don't want to commit the funds for a seriously priced roadster, but still want some modicum of performance beyond the basic handling and limited power of more modestly priced vehicles.
The S2000 is a pure performance machine despite the lower entry price compared to more extravagant machines. The interior remains minimalist and the suspension racetrack ready. The near-perfect weight balance of 49/51 affords outstanding handling. Even the inline four-cylinder has an impressive output for its size; it proves comfortable with constant high revving and offers great durability even with constantly high rpms.
With production halted, the S2000 now falls into the collectible category, and buyers must seek out well-maintained used options. The unusual place occupied in the roadster market by this Honda entry hasn't been filled by another car in production. That makes used examples all the more valuable and causes the late and well-kept cars to hold values that rival original suggested prices.
Even the basic appearance of the S2000 stands out from other competing roadsters. It has a distinctive wedge shape unique for its class. A longer wheelbase for a two-seater helps with handling. Later in the production run a trim option beyond just the base car became available. Known as the Club Racer, or CR for short, this model shows off more aerodynamic styling and body effects. The base model from later production years has a powered retractable roof with a glass rear window that includes a defroster. The base model also features lightweight 17-inch wheels, stability control, and HID headlights. A lightweight (44-pound) aluminum hardtop provides an option for the standard car. The CR option actually removes or changes things unlike trim packages that add options. It deletes the power top to reduce weight and adds a removable hardtop, track-oriented suspension settings, and a beefed-up structure for higher rigidity.
For a power plant, the S2000 uses a race-tuned 2.2-liter, inline four-cylinder that redlines at 8200 rpm. Honda employs its variable valve timing and lift system (VTEC) to squeeze 237 horsepower and 162 lb-ft of torque out of this small four-cylinder—quite a feat without turbocharging or supercharging. This couples with a short-throw six-speed manual transmission. The S2000 never used an automatic transmission, since it focuses on performance.
The S2000 interior speaks to the performance goals. It leaves behind any feature that can add weight in return for comfort or luxury. The small and Spartan cockpit of this two-seater is best described as minimalist. The steering wheel cannot adjust and the driver seat adjustments must be done manually. The shift knob is aluminum and leather and the pedals are aluminum. Everything helps the car perform by saving on weight. The trunk has five cubic feet of capacity, and a small compartment between the seats offers a little more storage space.
The model includes some basics such as keyless entry, leather seats, air-conditioning, and an eight-speaker CD audio system with XM satellite radio and optional speakers in the headrest. Music goes well with high performance, after all.
Interestingly, the CR version removes the keyless entry and stereo, once again as a weight-saving and performance-enhancing adjustment.
Roll bars behind the seats increase safety and give the impression of race-ready performance. In between the roll bars sits a clear acrylic wind deflector to help reduce cockpit turbulence.
Any car that has a trim package that removes features and comforts to save weight is serious about performance. A fun time driving matters above all else. The S2000 impresses with its tight and responsive steering, quick shifts, and high-revving power; it still behaves well even with less than expert drivers. The weight distribution makes for great handling and offers a remarkable amount of giddy-up for a four-cylinder. All of this comes with standard Honda features such as ergonomic and comfortable seats, and a respectably sophisticated ride for a sporty roadster.
After debuting in 2000, Honda gradually made improvements to the S2000 until it ceased production in 2009. In 2002, this vehicle saw improvements with the addition of a glass rear window with a defogger and some design changes including chrome taillight rings, a new shift knob, and silver trim in the cockpit. In 2004, Honda introduced the 2.2-liter engine to the S2000.

People who have seen the trailer for the live-action version of Speed Racer say it looks more like a video game than a movie. But what's wrong with that? If you can make a film feel like the eyeball-blasting you get from a game these days, then the marketing department, the toy department, the sequel department, and yes, even the video game department will fall over backwards trying to kiss you on the ass. So it's no surprise that Speed Racer is getting a video game for the Wii and the Nintendo DS (which unfortunately means that graphics are less than amazing), and you can check out the new images from it in the gallery below.
It'll leave your retinas in a bit of pain, but it's the only time we've ever seen anything come close to approximating the view from inside one of those Hot Wheels loop-de-loop courses we used to play with back in the day. Some of the lines in the trailer made us cringe a bit, and we'll be missing the ultraquick dialogue and the speed lines... but we're marginally starting to look forward to what these races look like both in the movie, and in the game. We just hope you can use all of the gadgets that the Mach 5 has to offer while you batter your opponents.

In Defense of Beauty Pageants
Special to TLE
A beauty contest at Lakehead University aroused sharp protest from campus feminists.
The flap came on the heels of a similar contest at which I applauded from the audience. The contrast made me wonder: "Why are politically correct feminists so upset by beauty pageants?"
"Upset" may be too tame a word. Rage against beauty contests lies at the very roots of PC feminism.
Indeed, a high-profile protest at the 1968 Miss America beauty contest is often credited with bringing the feminist movement into public awareness.
It was a defining moment, with feminist protesters setting off stink bombs and singing, "Ain't she sweet; making profits off her meat."
Beauty contests have evolved since 1968. For example, the majority of judges at the Lakehead pageant were female; there was a female "co-host"; 40 percent of the tickets went to women. But PC attacks have not substantially altered.
Some of the Lakehead debate revolved around the appropriateness of holding a beauty contest at the on-campus pub; that's a valid debate. But mere inappropriateness doesn't explain why feminists campaigned so vigorously to cancel the event despite the fact that the breach of contract would have resulted in a fine of $50,000 to $155,000 to be paid by the university.
The rhetoric surrounding their campaign offers a stereotypical example of feminism's stock-in-trade arguments against beauty contests, on-campus or off.
In the Lakehead student newspaper, Angie Gollat of the on-campus Gender Issues Centre (GIC) lambastes the event as "sexist" and "heterosexist." It is difficult to imagine campus feminists objecting to lesbian events because they are "homosexist." But hypocrisy aside, it is not clear why a celebration of female physical beauty is sexistthat is, anti-womanespecially when all the women involved are eager to participate.
In the same newspaper, unidentified students state their concerns that "the objectification of women [that is, the contest] leads to violence against women."
There are two problems with that argument. Being judged on the basis of your beauty is no more "objectification" than taking a college exam and being judged on your intellect; yet, as far as I know, every student will take exams. Moreover, absolutely no data supports a connection between beauty pageants and violence against women.
Indymedia carried the GIC's call for a protest, which read, "Concerned citezens [sic] are staging an anti-corporate demonstration," to show "that discriminatory events are not welcome on campus."
The anti-corporate remark refers to the pageant's sponsor and merely reflects left-wing bias. (Tax-funded feminists are notoriously contemptuous of the free market.) And, unless a particular race or religion was barred from entry, the charge of discrimination doesn't make sense. The contest was "women only," but so are women's sports and many feminist events.
Two more substantial arguments underlie the demonization of beauty contests. One was presented in a 1991 book that caused a phenomenon upon publication: "The Beauty Myth: How Images of Beauty Are Used Against Women" by Naomi Wolf.
Wolf hypothesizes a cause-and-effect relationship between women's liberation and society's ideal of beauty. Although women have advanced, Wolf contends that, "in terms of how we feel about ourselves physically, we may actually be worse off than our unliberated grandmothers."
Why? Because of how "cruelly images of female beauty have come to weigh upon us."
In short, the ideal of female beauty oppresses modern women in a manner presumably not experienced by earlier generations. Thus, feminist Jo Freeman writes of the 1968 protest, "All women were made to believe they were inferior because they couldn't measure up to Miss America beauty standards."
By this analysis, beauty contestants become symbols and tools of oppression.
The analysis is deeply flawed. For one thing, society has no one standard of beauty. A cursory scan of today's "beautiful people" reveals women of all ages and ethnic groups, with no one body type or style of dress.
Moreover, the beauty of one woman doesn't force another to conform. My favorite makeup is a scrubbed face and I wear no-brand blue jeans. All the women I know are intelligent enough to make such decisions for themselves.
Yet the argument that beauty contests are unfair to the average woman is common. An influential book by the philosopher John Rawls became popular in left-wing circles and lends the argument support. Rawls' book, "A Theory of Justice," contends, "no one deserves his place in the distribution of natural endowments, any more than one deserves one's initial starting place in society."
To Rawls, naturally beautiful people are akin to those born rich or with perfect health; they have won "the social lottery." That is, they've benefited from random luck, which they did not earn or deserve. His theory has been used to justify the redistribution of wealth and power in society.
And one way to "redistribute" natural beauty is to pathologize its display.
The feminist contention that beauty contests are unfair to the average woman has a Rawlsian ring. It also sounds like envy.
Even after the Lakehead beauty contest had passed, the GIC made a declaration of war, "This is a wake up call to all you dormant egalitarians. It's time to mobilize."
Actually it is time to lighten up and applaud beauty, not pathologize it.

Photo Flash: First Look at Palm Beach Dramaworks' A RAISIN IN THE SUN
Set in the 1950s on the South Side of Chicago, A Raisin In The Sun is the story of the Younger family, and their receipt of a substantial insurance payment that leads to life-changing decisions. The play is inspired, in part, by the experience of Hansberry's family when her parents purchased a house in a "white neighborhood." As the Youngers argue over how best to use the money, the drama addresses issues that were rarely discussed at that time, including women's rights and black identity. The play's title comes from the poem "Harlem," also known as "A Dream Deferred," by Langston Hughes.
Directed by Seret Scott, the production features Joniece Abbott-Pratt, Shirine Babb, Pat Bowie, Marckenson Charles, Ethan Henry, Dave Hyland, Mcley LaFrance, Jordan Tisdale, Mekiel Benjamin, Joshua Valbrun, Lanardo Davis and Jeffrey Brazzle. Set design is by Paul DePoo, costume design by Brian O'Keefe, lighting design by Joseph P. Oshry, and sound design by Rich Szczublewski.
Guest director Seret Scott directed a dozen productions for San Diego's Old Globe Theatre while serving as an associate artist. Off-Broadway, she directed the premiere of Mujeres Y Hombres at the New Victory Theater, Birdie Blue and Zooman And The Sign for Second Stage, and Yohen for Pan Asian Rep. Scott's work has also been seen at Arena Stage, Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company, Ford's Theatre, South Coast Repertory, Hartford Stage, Long Wharf Theatre, Oregon Shakespeare Festival, National Black Theatre Festival, and American Conservatory Theater, among many others. She is a former director in residence at New Dramatists, and a Drama Desk Award-winning actress.
Lorraine Hansberry was a playwright, author, and activist. The granddaughter of a freed slave, she grew up in a middle-class, activist family in Chicago. After moving to New York, Hansberry worked for a time at Paul Robeson's progressive black newspaper, Freedom, first as a writer and then as an associate editor. She completed A Raisin in the Sun in 1957, but it took producer Philip Rose well over a year to raise the money to bring the play to Broadway. The original production, directed by Lloyd Richards, opened on March 11, 1959 with a cast that included Sidney Poitier, Ruby Dee, Claudia McNeil, Diana Sands, Louis Gossett and John Fiedler. It was the first play produced on Broadway written by an African-American woman, and the first directed by an African-American man. Hansberry went on to become the first black playwright and the youngest American to win a New York Drama Critics' Circle award.
The Don & Ann Brown Theatre is located in the heart of downtown West Palm Beach, at 201 Clematis Street. For ticket information contact the box office at (561) 514-4042, open Monday from 10AM to 5PM, Tuesday through Saturday from 10AM to 6PM, and Sunday from 11AM to 5PM, or visit www.palmbeachdramaworks.org.Photo Credit: Alicia Donelan

Mayor Don Wesely said Lincoln's employment picture continues to look strong, despite this week's announcements by State Farm Insurance and Alltel of job transfers and cuts.
"We never like to hear that jobs are leaving Lincoln, but transfers and cuts can be expected as companies strive to be more efficient in tough economic times," said Mayor Wesely. "It's important to recognize that jobs are also being created here as a result of the public-private partnerships we've created. The fact is that far more jobs are being added than lost in our community."
Figures from the Nebraska Department of Labor show that 5,670 more people are employed in the Lincoln area compared to a year ago. The number of employed persons increased from 139,640 in December 2001 to 145,310 in December 2002. Lincoln's unemployment rate is holding steady at 2.9 percent, the fourth lowest in the nation among cities our size. Companies that have recently announced job additions include Kawasaki, Garner Industries, Burlington Northern, Cabela's, Transactional Application Group, ACTON, Archer-Daniels-Midland and Universal Cold Storage.
State Farm announced plans this week to transfer 185 jobs from Lincoln to four other states in the next two to four years as part of its consolidation efforts. Alltel is offering early retirement to about 60 eligible employees due to a slowdown in its home telephone service.
"I am confident that the new jobs we expect to come into our community in the near future will more than make up for these losses," said Mayor Wesely. "Lincoln's continued growth in construction investment and sales tax revenues bolster our confidence that our economy is improving."
According to the City Building and Safety Department, the value of building permits issued in Lincoln in calendar year 2002 was $605.4 million, a 43 percent increase over the previous year.
Net City sales tax collections for February were up 15.4 percent compared to the same month last year and exceeded $5 million for the first time. The net sales tax revenue is up 11 percent for the first six months of this fiscal year, which began September 1. Net sales tax revenue for February was $5,163,582, which is $230,894 higher than what the City had projected.

The Mets still haven't won a road series against a National League team this season, but this could be the weekend.
Too little, too late, of course.
The Mets are in Pittsburgh tonight for the start of a three-game series, a series they should have won. Then again, there have been so many of them this season, including Houston.
There is no guarantee they'll beat the Pirates, because afterall, they have a losing record against teams with losing records. They have a losing record on the road – a terrible record on the road. They have a losing record in one-run games and in extra-innings.
In all the benchmark statistics that dictate what kind of team they should be they have a losing record.
The Pirates always play the Mets tough at home, so why should this weekend be any different? I've been waiting all season for the Mets to take the next step and they haven't.
I certainly don't expect them to start now.
NOTE: I have been planning a trip for awhile now and won't be around to monitor the chat room on a regular basis this weekend. Have a great weekend.

Media Release: NEW STUDY CONCLUDES BREASTFEEDING LOWERS RISK OF CHILDHOOD OBESITY
Contact: Kimberly Cavaliero or Mary Lofton Phone: 847-519-7730 ext. 233 or ext. 271
SCHAUMBURG, IL (July 29, 1999) - A new study following more than 9,000 children from birth through age six has concluded that breastfed babies have a lower likelihood to become obese as children.
German scientists conducting the survey in Bavaria indicated that babies breastfed for 3-5 months were 33% less likely to be obese at age 6. Babies who were exclusively breastfed for 6 months were 43% less likely to become obese and babies breastfed for more than 1 year were 72% less likely to become obese. Researchers took into account such factors as eating habits, socioeconomic class, birth weight, parents' and siblings' ages, amount of outdoor activity, and whether or not the child had their own bedroom.
In addition to the hard evidence, researchers believe that breastfeeding may play a role in preventing obesity in adulthood. Bottle-fed infants had higher concentrations of insulin in their blood, which would be expected to aid in fat deposition. Human milk contains fats and proteins significantly different from those available in artificial infant milk. Human milk contains the correct amount of protein a baby needs. The proteins in human milk are also easier to metabolize than the large amount found in artificial infant milk and therefore are not stored to later become fat, thereby decreasing the risk of obesity.
Preventing obesity in children
should be a useful strategy in preventing later heart disease because
weight loss interventions in obese children are costly and many times
unsuccessful. This study can play a large role in encouraging breastfeeding
in industrialized countries.
The study, which was published last week in the British Medical Journal, is the largest study to date exploring the role of breastfeeding in preventing obesity in children.
For more information on the benefits of breastfeeding or for a referral to a local La Leche League Leader, call 1-800-LALECHE. Founded in 1956, La Leche League International's mission is to help mothers worldwide to breastfeed through support, encouragement, education, and information, and to promote a better understanding of breastfeeding as an important element in the healthy development of baby and mother. Local La Leche League Leaders are available to answer questions and give assistance to breastfeeding mothers in communities throughout the United States as well as 65 other countries around the world.

Covitz:Tragedy clouds job fates for Crennel, Pioli
Tragedy clouds job fates for Crennel, Pioli
The way the Chiefs coach and general manager dealt with last week could affect the decision on whether to bring them back.
By RANDY COVITZ
The Kansas City Star
A week ago, Chiefs coach Romeo Crennel displayed extraordinary leadership skills when he calmly led his team and staff through a horrific crisis.
Crennels composure and ability to hold together a heartbroken Chiefs organization in the hours after linebacker Jovan Belcher killed his girlfriend and himself captured the admiration of not just those in Kansas City, but across the country.
But now that the tears have dried and the business of football resumes, a dilemma hovers over the franchise. How does one separate sympathy for Crennel and general manager Pioli who were courageous in trying to dissuade Belcher from taking his life and witnessed the suicide from the frustration of a miserable season on the field?
Even if the Chiefs, 2-10, manage to win a few of their four remaining games, starting with todays visit to Cleveland, 4-8, this season will rank as one of the most disappointing in franchise history.
Chiefs Nation, through protests on game day and failing to fill Arrowhead Stadium as in years past, is demanding a housecleaning. Fans want changes in the front office, coaching staff and at quarterback, though the tragic events of last weekend muffled the outcry as a show of respect for Crennel and Pioli.
Chiefs chairman Clark Hunt hadnt shown any indication that changes were coming soon, or at all, during the teams eight-game losing streak, a dismal slide that was snapped with last weekends improbable 27-21 victory over Carolina. And the timing for making a change now would be grossly insensitive, considering what Crennel, Pioli and the team have gone through.
Its even possible that the manner in which Pioli and Crennel comported themselves in the eye of danger and the way they comforted a fragile team in the aftermath will convince Hunt to stay the course despite a 2-14 or 4-12 season.
I dont think anybody gets fired after one season, said veteran defensive lineman Shaun Smith. Anythings possible. Hes still coaching us, he said he aint going to throw in the towel, and I believe him. Thats why I like playing for him, because hes a fighter no matter what the situation is.
It was just about a year ago Dec. 12 that Crennel took over as interim head coach in place of Todd Haley. He was promoted to head coach permanently after the Chiefs went 2-1 in their final three games, including an upset of then-13-0 Green Bay in Crennels debut.
But the Chiefs have been a punch line for most of this season, including their epic eight-game streak of failing to lead a game in regulation and a league-high 32 turnovers.
Crennel, 65, still has two more years left on his contract, which may give him some security, though he could be forced to make changes on his coaching staff to retain the job.
Pioli, it is believed, has one more year remaining on his original five-year contract. The Chiefs are 23-37 under his watch, and if Hunt decides to change coaches, its hard to see him entrusting Pioli to make a third hire in five years.
If the clamoring for change in Kansas City is affecting Crennel, he isnt showing it just as he didnt show the strain of the nightmare he experienced last weekend.
We cant worry about whos flying (anti-Pioli) banners or what other people think, Crennel said a day before the Belcher tragedy. You cant please all the people all the time. You have to try to do your job the best you can do it, and hopefully on Sunday you can come out with a victory.
But theres little doubt hes coaching for his future.
When you get into coaching, youre coaching for your career, Crennel said. Every game, youre out front and you get evaluated, and that hasnt changed since Ive been in this game. You worry about the next game, thats what you do.
When you sign up to be a coach, you know your job is on the line. And its on the line every Sunday.
The Chiefs are not the only franchise with club executives and head coaches sitting on the annual December hot seat. Big changes are certain to happen in San Diego, where general manager A.J. Smith and coach Norv Turner are expected to be dismissed; Philadelphia, where Andy Reid, the dean of NFL head coaches with one team, is on his way out; and Carolina, which dismissed general manager Marty Hurney in October. Coaches in Buffalo, Carolina, Dallas, Arizona and Cleveland are also on shaky ground.
Its been 10 years since an NFL season has gone this long without an in-season coaching change. Club owners have probably learned theres little to be gained by firing a coach during the season and elevating an assistant on an interim basis.
Such a move usually provides a short-lived spark to a team as it did for the Chiefs last year before it reverts to the form that led to the coaching change in the first place.
The prevailing feeling around the league is that, come Dec. 31, the day after the regular-season ends, pink slips will fly across the NFL.
The Browns are under new ownership this season, after Jimmy Haslam bought the club from Randy Lerner for $1 billion. Haslam immediately replaced president Mike Holmgren with CEO Joe Banner, who may want to bring in his own general manager and head coach. Browns coach Pat Shurmur, 8-20 in two-plus seasons, is under fire, even though his team, with 17 rookies and 10 others with less than two full years experience, is riding a modest two-game winning streak.
My concerns are always for our team and our coaches moving forward, Shurmur, 47, told reporters last week. I really believe in this group we have and I really believe this is the foundation of something that could be really good. Even though I say that and believe in it, until we start winning football games, thats what shows it. Thats really my concern.
Some of the other stuff about me personally what more can they say about me (on sports talk radio)? Right? I mean, really, think about it. I dont listen to it, but Im told frequently about it. I think thats where the thick-skin part comes in.
Herm Edwards has been in this situation. With two games remaining in the 2008 season, Carl Peterson, the clubs chief executive for 20 years and a mentor to Edwards, parted company with the Chiefs, who were 2-12 at the time and would finish 2-14.
Though Hunt had signed off on a youth movement that contributed to six losses by seven or fewer points in 2008, including two one-point losses and one in overtime, the feeling was that Petersons successor would bring in a new coach, no matter what the Chiefs did in the final two games.
The key is dont get caught up in that, Edwards said of the uncertainty of the final games preceding his dismissal. The hard thing for you as a coach is to make sure everyone else is focused is on the plan the team youre going to play that week. You have to make sure the focus is on the job at hand, and thats to win a football game.
Saying that is easier than doing it. You have coaches concerned, you have players sitting there thinking, Coach is going to be out of here, and were going to be playing for a new coach, and theyre thinking, Whos going to be the guy ? The assistant coaches are having to go home and deal with their wives and saying, You know what, were probably not going to be here.
Sure enough, Pioli, hired in mid-January 2009, dismissed Edwards. And after the Super Bowl, he hired Haley, a former offensive coordinator at Arizona.
This is the part of coaching cycles, Edwards said. At some point in your career, youre going to deal with it. When youre not sitting in that seat, and you see other coaches of other teams that you know are sitting in that seat, you better realize, if you stay in this game long enough, youre going to be in that seat, too. Its just a matter of time.
Edwards, who has been an analyst with ESPN since leaving the Chiefs, tried putting on a brave front for his staff, players and everyone else in the building.
For me, it was simple, Edwards said. Im going to be upbeat, energetic, and Im looking forward to trying to win a football game. Because you know when you win a game the feeling of winning, it puts everything else secondary.
The thing I learned about it is you dont take it personally. Its part of the game.
Much to Crennels credit, its hard to tell whether this Chiefs team is 2-10 or 10-2. The players practice enthusiastically and chat and banter in the locker room while going from practice to meetings.
Certainly, there is an undercurrent of doubt about the future, but theres not a feeling of having to Win One for Romeo.
Everyone in this locker room, especially the guys who have been around, know its a bottom-line business, said offensive tackle Eric Winston. If Im a guy evaluating you dont want to get caught up in a moment, whether its good or bad.
Theyll sit back, look at the totality of things that have happened, and theyll make their decision. Romeo has a lot of great attributes for a head coach. Its not my place to say whether he stays or goes. Im going to do everything I can to win, and usually wins means hes going to stay.
Smith, the Chiefs defensive lineman, also played for Crennel in Cleveland in 2007-08. He said the coach cant be blamed for players dropping passes or committing penalties, two of the biggest culprits in the Chiefs poor record this season.
Ive been with him when we won 10 games in Cleveland and the next year we didnt have a good year, Smith said. Hopefully, we can win these last four games of the season, and well be 6-10. Thats better than two-and-whatever.
But only Hunt knows if that will be enough for Pioli and Crennel to return in 2013. That answer probably will come the week of Dec. 31.

No, no, no!
Don't even crack the door open on this subject. To keep your job because a player went nuts would be idiotic.
This is the Chiefs, though.........

If Pioli is back next season its because he's already been extended and Clark doesn't want to take the financial hit. Belcher doesn't get you extended, if anything it reiterates that it would be in everyone's best interest to move on and seek a fresh start elsewhere.

If they would have talked Belcher out of shooting himself, that would have been a much greater show of leadership then what actually transpired

Let's see...4 years in and the organization is terrible on the field, a joke nationally, and the bane of local fans because Pioli is terribly unlikeable.
Thus, to see anything positive, one must believe in the bullshit cliches that Pioli is so ready to disseminate, such as "The Right 53," which many used to believe. To this end, Belcher ended these fantasies.
Therefore, Clark is facing a call, and he better have the balls to play the hand correctly because he has the cards.

While everyone is going to disagree with keeping RAcioli, Covitz is right that it adds another factor into the decision making.
I still don't see how they can stay.

I'm a big RAC hater, but you have to admire the job he did in holding his team together. As I said before, he's a perfect coach for that situation. And that's what scares the shit out of me. I could see the Chiefs rallying behind him the rest of the year while on an emotional kick. That's what players coaches do. And then I could see us extending him because we got late season momentum, just like we did last year when RAC won a few games while emotions were still high because of the Haley firing.
Sadly, when you're a fan long enough, you just come to expect certain things to happen.

It's ****ing ridiculous that this team has to be ABSOLUTE 100% failures in everything for them to get fired. It's as if being only 98% failures isn't good enough to warrant the firing.
Clark will do the right thing, I believe. He has to.

What a mouth-breathing fool Shaun Smith is.
This isn't Romeo's first rodeo and he's making the same mistakes over, and over, and over. The guy sucks as a HC.
Smith will continue to deep throat him because Crennel is literally the only coach in the league who will give him a job.

They both need to go based on terrible job performance. This does not need to be the Chiefs Hurricane Sandy incident...
Welcome to the National FIXED League...

It's times like these that I think some asshole shits something out in an article just so they can be the ones to claim they called it.
Clark isn't stupid. One terrible situation should have absolutely no baring on RAC/Pioli staying or going.
