Beauty Works
Friday, July 23, 2010
In a struggling economy with more people competing for the same jobs, how much does the "beauty premium" matter? Jessica Bennett, senior writer at Newsweek, explores the effects of physical attractiveness in the Newsweek special report "The Beauty Advantage".
Tell us what you think about the role of looks in the workplace. Do you think attractiveness is ever a disadvantage? How much do you think it matters when you're job-hunting? Leave your comment below!

There is a difference in discriminating against someone because they're not good looking and not hiring someone because they don't know how to put themselves together. Male or female.
I'm a professional female who works for a company, where appearance something takes precedence over other things, because its believed to generate more sales. Something this superficial does become transient if proper demeanor does not follow. A sexy woman has more to prove, such as actually having a brain, but this can be used to ones advantage with tact and grace. Seeking sexuality is inherent in human nature, and held at even higher regard in the American culture. This endowment comes with a responsibility that should women should embrace, rather than feeling victimized in a male dominated workforce.
My cringe-o-meter is off the charts with this show. It is embarrassing to actually listen to this....it sounds like a mediocre undergrad paper and you've opened the doors to a gang of narcissistic callers who want to announce how attractive they are. Please!!!!! Beauty is an asset...like smarts, strength, wisdom, education level, etc etc and may actually be more of an equalizer than less. Looks may get you through the door but don't keep you in the room. Enough said. Begging you for better shows than this lightweight nonsense. Move on to matters more worthy of discussion. Please.
So, what has feminism gotten women/girls? The privilege to talk about porn openly and to wear almost nothing and for young women to sexualize themselves through clothing, etc, and call it all empowerment? The pressure for older women to get plastic surgery so they look younger for the workforce and dating? For young girls to drink as hard as and behave as aggressively as frat boys and call it "gurl power?"
Yeah, but ears aside, Obama is QUITE good looking, you must admit. And how about height? Tall people are notorious "winners" too. An inordinate number of successful salespeople are tall (and often good looking).
I am a woman who left my job after years of abuse/bullying by a woman boss. She behaved as though she were jealous of me. While I do not think of myself as beautiful, I know there are people who do. My conclusion, after a great deal of suffering and soul-searching, is that she was one of them. She assigned me simpleminded, dead-end assignments, she arranged that I was not able to learn and progress, she withheld raises and bonuses, she publicly made disparaging comments, etc. My overweight women colleagues were not treated that way.
While this issue is undoubtedly sexist, recall that male politicians like Chris Christie and Bill Clinton were regularly ridiculed for their weight, Obama for his ears, etc.
I do believe that if you are young, goodlooking and slender, you will be picked over an older, plain-looking and plump person.
A sad state of affairs, but that's what it is, especially in New York City.
I had a boss who put up a barrier beside his desk so he wouldn't ogle me from across the room. He told me this much later after we became friends.
Beauty or attractiveness is definitely an advantage - I actually was hired for a job that should've gone to another, younger woman who was 10 years younger than I. When I asked my boss, he said he was embarrassed by my colleague and he was afraid of how she would come across when meeting outside contacts. Mind you - this was a behind the scenes job with some schmoozing involved. I am now looking for work and in my mid forties and to up the ante, I've gotten cosmetic surgery and laser eye surgery. I also religiously dye my hair.
I'm also an Ivy League graduate so the combination hopefully makes me even more attractive than someone who doesn't have all of those aspects.
what about women who discriminate against other women who are viewed as too attractive?
Is this really new? I have a Chemical Engineering degree from MIT. I know when I was hired in the 80s and 90s that my relatively good looks were key.
I have a generally gender sensitive and enlightened friend who runs an organization in South Africa. He recently told me that he did not hire a qualified woman as his assistant because he thought she was really hot. He figured that if he did hire her, he would have to give up the option of asking her out. So he preferred to give the job to someone else in order to be able to ask the cute woman out on a date afterwards. In this case, looks did not work to her advantage.
Did race factor in this? There are good looking people in each race, but there are different standards of beauty and sex appeal among races and ethnicties.
Are we talking about Gossip Girl/Sex and the City white women types in terms of defining what is good looking?
I had breast reduction surgery to be free from having an image/being seen as too sexy or sexy in lieu of anything else.
I remember being at a meeting where someone said, "It's strange to think that the policies and business decisions of the past three years at Company X were mostly based on the fact that everyone had a crush on Tall, Gorgeous Woman Z."
So if I am constructing an offshore oil rig or a nuclear power plant, or creating a sophisticated computer program. I am going to hire a good looking average person over a really smart person? And cause a disaster? As Dirty Harry said in the Enforcer "That is a hell of a price to pay for being stylish"
Old news... Looks matter, always have. Good looking people win.

Tour Overview
Cuba is the last bastion of socialism in the Western Hemisphere and has, only recently, managed to break free from the shackles imposed by the negative associations of communism. Indeed, it is Cuba's long isolationism that proves one of the main attractions for travellers, as destinations untouched by Western influence are now so few and far between. One must only explore the cities, like the capital, Havana, to appreciate fully the unique charms of the country. With their colonial architecture, plethora of 1950s American cars, and imposing Revolutionary monuments, Cuban cities are strikingly unusual in history, colour and character. These street scenes are only enhanced by the laid-back lifestyle and friendly disposition of the Cuban people -- a population of largely Spanish and African descent -- with the result that Cuba is an up-and-coming destination to be visited sooner rather than later.
Regions visited: Central America And Caribbean
Countries visited: Cuba
Elaine D (Vancouver, BC, CA)
All the excursions were thoroughly enjoyed. I don't think AA need to change anything. The local guides were fantastic. The transportation was excellent. Meals were over the top and we enjoyed each and every one. This is the second time we have travelled with Serra, our tour leader, and with her light personality, her extensive travel knowledge and fantastic people skills she is an absolute treasure to travel with. Serra is always very well organized and everything ran like clockwork. Serra is an excellent speaker and was always very well informed. She had the right amount of depth to all the information passed on to us. We only use Adventures Abroad for our cultural tours, and have taken two of our daughters and their husbands on two of the tours as well. We have never had a tour that we have not enjoyed.
Glenn F. (Paradise Valley, AZ, US)
Enjoyed excursions to Vinoles Valley, Bay of Pigs, Camaguey, Holguin, Baracoa and Santiago - enjoyed the history that pertains to the revolution 1959 and walks - I found all the stops interesting
Judith G. (Chapel Hill, CA, CA)
I had a great time on this tour.
Katherine S. (Greeley, CO, US)
Loved the Hemmingway, Buena Vista Social Club and the Baseball game!!!!! Osvaldo was an excellent national guide and knowledgeable about his country. He had a great spirit. Serra did a good job, she could laugh readily, gave good country information and was an excellent representative for Adventures Abroad.Pleasant, courteous, patient, and friendly would be adjectives to describe Serra's attitude. She was very well informed. It was fun, informational, and the pace of each day was planned and carried out. It was fascinating to get a glimpse into the lives of people that was balanced, objective, and fair.
Keith (Burnaby, BC, CA)
Vinales Valley and the walkabout there were one of the highlights, as was the visit to Baracoa and the bus ride through the mountains. [Tour Leader Erin] went to extra effots to arrange meals in local establishments, organize evening excursions to muciscal venues, find money exchange places, and organize the ordering of meals.
Linda S. (Calgary, AB, CA)
All excursions were very good. We saw all the highlights of each place we visited. I really enjoyed Trinidad and Baracoa. We had one local guide - Osvaldo - who traveled with us the entire time. He was the best local guide I have had on any trip that I have taken. He worked 18 hours a day to make sure we all had a great experience in his country. He was friendly and helpful, and provided loads of information abount the culture, history and economic condition of Cuba. We had a very comfortable mini-bus (ours was virtually brand new) and and excellent driver. The evening meals were all very good. There were always lots of choices. It was nice to try out the private restaurants, which were mostly where we ate. Chis is an absolute people person. It is obvious that he enjoys his work. Chris went out of his way to answer everyone s questions and requests. He made sure everything ran smoothly and comfortably for everyone. Chris keeps lists and sets reminders - I can t think of anything that was not reasonably explained nor any questions, requests or observations that were forgotten. I really enjoyed this trip to Cuba. It is a pity that the vast majority of people that travel here do not get to see the country in the depth that we did.
Merelyn J. (Nelson, BC, CA)
I enjoyed all the included excursions on this tour. Highlights would be Hemmingway Finca, Museo Romantico in Trinidad, Cave and boat trip in Vinales and the Truck ride into the Sierra de Escambray. Transportation was excellent in every way. AA is fortunate to have the calibre of Chris, our tour leader, working for the company. He was enthusiastic, never tired or too busy for questions. Always appears calm and relaxed. He is the best!!
Morley P. (Delta, BC, CA)
The local guide was outstanding; he was honest, well-spoken, informative, and fun. Working relationship between him and the Adv. Abroad guide was excellent. The excursions blended well with free time, were adventurous and worthwhile.
Patricia F. (Calgary, AB, CA)
Laura Rudderforth is definitely the Tour Leader with the best ever abilities to lead a group of mature tourers. Laura has excellent communication skills and is fluent, I believe, in several languages. Laura goes above and beyond the expected duties of a Tour Leader, always ensuring the safety of all tour participants. Laura is always able to maintain an even balance between local guides, transportation provider and tour participants. I highly commend Laura for the always common sense and tactiful approach to all issues. Many, many thanks to Laura
Ronald M. (Sechelt, BC, CA)
We enjoyed all excursions to the utmost. There is none better than Victor. Everybody loves Victor! He runs all day to keep us happy and to make the very best meal arrangements for the evening meal
Rosemary S. (Calgary, AB, CA)
Great trip, all excursions were very enjoyable and local guides were excellent. Laura made us all feel very comfortable and was always able to answer our questions. She seemed to have as much fun as we did, great tour leader.

Nick Kyrgios - Yes He Canberra

Re: Nick Kyrgios - Yes He Canberra
Takes the title with some impressive serving.
The boys final was a battle between local favourite Kaichi Uchida, seeded No.2, and Aussie Kyrgios who was looking to win his first Grade A singles title. There was nothing between the two players with the Aussie edging out a tight match 76(5) 76(4).
Kyrgios has enjoyed a lot of success in doubles this year with two doubles Grand Slam titles at Roland Garros at Wimbledon, but a first Grade A victory in singles was important for the Australian who commented after the match:
"I'm overwhelmed by this great achievement. I had to play some solid tennis to beat Uchida, he's a very solid player. The crowd was really great, making it a good atmosphere. I really enjoyed my stay at Osaka, I played some of my best tennis here."
Uchida knew going into the match that he had a big challenge on this hands, having lost the only previous singles meeting between the two players at this year's Junior Wimbledon, as well as five previous doubles matches:
"I have had matches with Nick before, five times in doubles, one time in singles. All matches, I lose. The most risky shot that he has is his serve. The accuracy is quite good so for me it is very difficult to break his service games. The key today was how to hold my service games because his serve, at the important point of games, was very very effective and great. It was very tough match for me."

Tremendous Team Effort By Lady Kougar Swim Team at Griffith Invite
December 10, 2012Kankakee Valley High School
On Saturday at the Griffith Invite, the KV Lady Kougar Swimming and Diving Team had an outstanding day, bringing home several gold medals, setting many personal and season-bests, and swimming some of the top times in school history. They finished 2nd in the 12 team field to an outstanding Wheeler team, with host Griffith in 3rd. The 200 medley relay team took gold in a SB time of 2:05.9. That quartet was Kate Lott, Alysia Beenes, Maddie Babicka and Abbey Sitterma. The team of Jordan Rhoades, Leah Gouwens, Sonny Anderson and Madi Klauer took 4th, but only one relay team could score in this meet. Winners received medals, places 2nd-6th received ribbons. Rhoades, battling a week-long illness, was 4th in the 200 free, with Caitlin Roth-6th in a PR time of 2:31.93. Sittema was a strong 2nd in the 200 IM, with Audra Lewis-6th in a SB time of 2:50.74. Lott also had a SB in that event. Babicka wowed the crowd in the 50 free, blazing to a victory in a remarkable time of 24.75! This broke her own school-record, and also broke Griffith's pool record. Brittany Stepp was a strong 6th. Divers Jordan Brodner and Maribeth Strong continued their fine seasons, taking 3rd and 4th in that event. Anderson swam a great 100 fly, just missing 6th place with a PR time of 1:25.35, a PR by a remarkable 8ish seconds!! Sittema, seeded 4th in the 100 free, busted a PR of 57.87 to win gold in that event. Stepp swam great in 5th in a SB time of 1:08.98, with Gouwens grabbing a solid 6th in a PR time of 1:09.89, really showing how deep the Kougars are in the freestyle events! Babicka, seeded 2nd in the 500 free by 14 seconds, flashed a tremendous final 50 to win in a PR time of 5:55.49, 2nd all-time at KV. Roth also PR'd in 6:55.88. In the 200 free relay, the team of Klauer, Jordon Dittrich, Stepp and Lewis took 2nd in 1:58.99, with Lewis swimming a 28.49 leg, and Klauer a PR 29.60 PR lead-off leg. The team of Emma Abbring, Jordyn Rentschler, Faith Hoffman and Klara Hausenfleck swam a SB time, by some 8 seconds, with Abbring swimming a PR, and Hausenfleck a relay PR. The 100 breaststroke went very well for KV. Lewis, seeded 4th, blasted the final 25 to win gold in 1:21.41, a PR for her and among KV's best all-time. Beenes just missed 2nd, swimming a strong PR time of 1:21.68, good for 3rd, also among KV's all-time top 10!! Earlier, Klauer also swam a PR in this event, good for a 6th place. Sittema led off the 400 free relay with yet another PR, blazing her leg in 57.81, followed by the courageous Rhoades, Lewis and Babicka. Babicka's split was a phenomenal time of 55.77!! They were 2nd in a SB time of 4:10.41. Roth, Lott, Gouwens and Stepp also swam a SB time of 4:39.57. KV hosts Griffith tonight in NCC action, meet starts at 6;00.

In accordance with the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the "Reform Act") and its own timetable for proposing regulations required by section 951 of the Reform Act, the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 18, 2010 issued a press release and published proposed rules (Release No. 33-9153) (the "Proposed Rules") for shareholder advisory votes on executive compensation ("Say-on-Pay") and golden parachutes. The SEC also concurrently released proposed regulations (Release No. 34-63123) which would require certain institutional investment managers to report annually how they voted on executive compensation matters (we will cover this second set of proposed regulations in a separate blog article).
As we previously commented (see our blog from July 26, 2010 "The Regulatory March to Reform Executive Compensation Practices Takes Another Step Forward"), the Reform Act implemented numerous new laws affecting executive compensation and corporate governance at publicly-held companies. Section 951 of the Reform Act requires that publicly held corporations provide their shareholders with the ability to render separate votes to approve: (1) executive compensation, (2) the frequency of shareholder Say-on-Pay votes, and on (3) golden parachute arrangements for the company's named executive officers ("NEOs") in connection with merger/acquisition transactions ("M&A"). The shareholder votes are advisory in effect and are not binding on the company or its board of directors. The Reform Act also gave the SEC the authority to exempt certain companies, such as smaller reporting companies, from Say-on-Pay.

text: you can get the first pick by restarting the franchise over and over until you get the first pick... but its pretty useless to get the 1st pick if you dont want D. Revis. Hes always the 1st pick in an offline fantasy draft. Who did you want to pick up bad enough to get the 1st overall? also... if you get the first pick in the 1st round you will get the 32nd pick in the 2nd round. your better off in the long run to get a pick in the middle of the first round unless you really want one of the top tier picks. I noticed that clay mathews goes in the late 1st round (right around 30th) so if you went with a later 1st rounder you could get him and still have a high pick in the 2nd round. With the 1st overall pick you have to wait for 63 more players to be drafted before you can pick again... essentially making your 2nd rounder really a 3rd round pick

12 mechanical engineering students devise electro hydraulic hybrid vehicle
Vehicles of the future already have several of their tasks cut out: high efficiency levels, use of clean fuel and smart combination of basic engine mechanism are among the most important expectations, if the prototype vehicle models being designed as part of engineering projects are any evidence.
In their efforts to design a car that eliminates the use of pollution causing fuels, while retaining high levels of efficiency, 12 final year mechanical engineering students from M.A.R. College of Engineering and Technology, Viralimalai, have devised an electro hydraulic hybrid vehicle (EHHV).
"Though electric vehicles in the market are environment-friendly, their efficiency levels aren't high, they cannot be used over long distances and Indian roads are not yet equipped to provide charging points (for the electric vehicles) on the go," says T. Rajkumar, one of the team members.
Their EHHV, on the other hand, marries the energies generated by two engines, an electric engine and a hydraulic engine, to produce greater mileage and load carrying capacity (up to 1000 kilograms).
The multiplier capacity of a hydraulic engine enables the EHHV to increase the torque with less input power, according to Rajkumar.
"For instance, if an electric engine generates 1 hp power for a given amount of fuel input, the hydraulic engine can give 1.5 hp for the same amount of fuel, there by increasing energy efficiency," he explains.
He also adds that the hydraulic engine is generally used in heavy duty vehicles such as earth movers and forklifts.
P.M. Abid Nazeel from the team describes the working mechanism of the EHHV they have designed: "While the electric engine takes over when the car is moving at a near-constant speed (it acts as the car's primary mover), the hydraulic unit takes care of the acceleration or deceleration, which can be controlled through corresponding valves." In this way, the electric engine stays efficient for longer and there is no cause of pollution because the hydraulic mechanism requires no combustion. The team seems confident about the commercial viability of their model.
However, they point out that it is possible only if it is built using various batteries like lithium batteries, which are yet to enter Indian markets.
If it is built thus on a mass scale the car can run up to 400 kilometres (almost double of electric vehicles), according to the team.
The prototype was built over three months at a cost of Rs. 2 lakh and it was developed by P.M. Abid Nazeel, P. Hariharan, A. Julfaharali, T. Rajkumar, M. Sathish Babu, R. Sugan, D. Vignesh, P. Amal Arockia Britto, E. Antony Joe Jerold, G. Mahaselvan, R. Thirupathi and K. Velmurugan.

Total Comfort!
By Nature Lover
from Alberta
AMAZINGLY comfortable shoes! I have had these shoes for a couple weeks now and have not had sore feet even once while wearing them (no annoying "break-them-in" phase). My feet are nicely cushioned yet supported in these and they are super lightweight. I have worn these shoes both with and without socks and they are comfortable either way (feet don't sweat or get sore spots/blisters). Great shoes! I also really love the black with the multicoloured fluorescent accents!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

FCC and Courts Grapple with Public Complaints over Radio's `Shock Jocks'
David Holmstrom, writer of The Christian Science Monitor, The Christian Science Monitor
WHILE driving her four young children to school one morning in Detroit, Terry Rakolta turned on the car radio. On three stations, talk-show hosts were discussing human sexual organs, remarking on excretory functions, or using profanity.
Had she been driving in Los Angeles, New York City, Philadelphia, Dallas, Buffalo, Chicago, or other major cities, so-called "shock jocks" would have been filling the airwaves there, too, with talk that the United States Supreme Court and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) have defined as indecent. Many of the programs are the top-rated shows in their markets.
The large and growing numbers of AM and FM radio stations across the US offering sexually graphic and titillating programming are challenging the legal definition of decency under the free-speech rights of the First Amendment. The values the programs accept raise questions for many about the stations' responsibility to the public interest.
Even while the public, including children, tunes into the programs by the millions, some broadcasters and public-interest groups predict that a new Supreme Court definition of "indecency" on the public airwaves may be the ultimate result.
Recently, the FCC imposed a fine of $600,000 on Infinity Broadcasting Corporation, the parent company of WXRK-FM in New York City and one of the nation's largest radio companies. The station is home to the shockmeister of the shock jocks, Howard Stern. His program is the No. 1-rated radio show in New York in the morning time slot, and is also No. 1 in Philadelphia, Los Angeles, and Washington, D.C. More than 3.5 million people listen to Mr. Stern, according to an Arbitron survey. The fine is the largest ever imposed on a broadcaster. A 20-page transcript
The FCC complaint against Infinity, the result of listener complaints, included 20 pages of transcripts quoting Mr. Stern's sexually explicit on-air discussions with guests. Infinity has until Feb. 16 to respond to the complaint before the fine is levied.
Some broadcasters feel caught between FCC actions, which they believe have a chilling effect on free speech, and the industry's need to police itself. "In order to enjoy First Amendment rights, we have to protect the worst among us," says Robert Fox, chief executive officer of KVEN-AM and KHAY-FM in Ventura, Calif., and a board member of the National Association of Broadcasters. "We have to protect those voices that cause disagreement, or bring a type of humor some people don't enjoy. …
