Hegel considered "natural beauty (not to say ordinary) a shifting and ill-defined concept devoid of all criteria (Aesthetics)." Ever since then, the question of beauty has been relegated to the realm of art, architecture and literature. Thus was created, under the influence of Greek philosophers (Plato. Hippias Major), a long and rich tradition, which, even if it was eclipsed from time to time by poetic approaches in literature, still feeds critical thought today, in an age marked by postmodern questioning on aesthetic value (Lyotard. Lessons on the Analysis of the Sublime) and the rearticulation of the constructs of perception.
On the other hand, as Ricœur has shown in his analysis of Proust (Time and Narrative), it is indeed in the non-aesthetic world that beauty as a phenomenon draws its essence, and exerts, outside of aesthetics, its influence on our perception of the world. It seems therefore essential to discuss a new the concept of beauty beyond the usual parameters and to think about the possibility of creating a new research object, and hence lay the foundations of a new aesthetics or, in other words, a non-aesthetics.
Taking "ordinary beauty" as the basis of questioning – that is to say beauty expressed in terms of ordinary language, defined roughly as any form of language which is not strictly speaking a constituent of literary or artistic representation, even as a critical discourse reflecting on the aesthetic beauty – this new perspective also allows researchers to study the place, role and forms of beauty such as it manifests itself in the field of social sciences, of particular interest in this context. Therefore the expression "ordinary language" is used here in a meaning broader than, but similar to, that defined by the philosophy of ordinary language (Wittgenstein, Austin).
The question of ordinary beauty has been posed regularly and explicitly in the pure sciences, especially in mathematics (H.E. Huntley. The Divine Proportion: A Study in Mathematical Beauty). But it also manifests itself in an important, though much less articulated and studied way, in other disciplines: for instance, in law (Ed Morgan. The Aesthetics of International Law), in economy (Cassey Lee, Peter L. Lloyd. "Beauty and the Economist: The Role of Aesthetics in Economic Theory") and in history (Arthur W. Foshay. "Aesthetics and History"). It is, however, necessary to determine closely to what extent one can speak about the beauty of democracy, justice, war, or even the atomic bomb (R. Oppenheimer). Basically, we need to ask ourselves: on what precisely is the notion of ordinary beauty based? How is its essence expressed? How are its characteristics determined? And, finally, what is its relationship with aesthetic beauty? This exploration of poetics and aesthetics will be carried out in parallel with ongoing research in social poetics (Richard Brown. A Poetic for Sociology: Toward a Logic of Discovery for the Human Sciences; Henry Meschonnic, For a Poetics of Rhythm).
Ordinary beauty is not defined by the nature of its referent but by its mode of enunciation, that is by its essentially non-literary and non-artistic manner of perceiving and of expressing what is given to see and understand as beautiful. However, it remains possible, if not necessary, to establish a meeting point between the aesthetic and non-aesthetic domains: on the one hand, ordinary beauty can take the form of all aesthetic categories and even make art and literature subjects of discourses on ordinary representation; on the other hand, the same ordinary beauty can also manifest itself in literature as a topos. It is in this last perspective that we are soliciting contributions in the field of literary studies.

Ordinary beauty, essential element of social representation;
Ordinary beauty as posit of social discourse;

|Ciabatta with Local Pesto
Ciabatta with Local Pesto
Working with Pesto recently made me wonder if local herbs can be made into Pesto. Herbs such as Oregano, Thyme, Basil, Rosemary have to be imported into Singapore and are very expensive. Two sprigs of Rosemary, each about 3 inches long retail for about US$1.00 and that's way too expensive for me. The amount of fresh herbs which I used last week for the 3 loaves probably cost more than US$10.00 and to me, that's eating gold. It set me thinking about what Dan Lepard said about using local ingredients.
Here in the tropics, we have no shortage of aromatic herbs. Instead of basil, we have Sweet Basil which is called Daun Selasih by the local malays. It is also used extensively in Thai cooking as well and the famous Thai green curry cannot do without it. We also have Laksa leaves(Vietnamese Mint), Lemon grass, Kaffir lime leaf and Pandan leaf. My first choice was to use Sweet Basil but as it was not available that day, I settled for laksa leaves. I made the pesto with laksa leaves, pistachio, parmesan cheese and roasted garlic. These were pounded in my mortar and pestle with a little salt and olive oil.
Since my last formulation worked reasonably well, I used it again. My bread had improved since I started using a lower gluten flour. After I had overcome the damp crumb problem, I was still plagued with a crumb that just wasn't right. It took me quite a while before I realised that it was due to the protein level in my flour.
I made yet another mistake as I should have let the dough warm up a little more after the long fermentation in the fridge.

Bereishit 5770
Posted on March 23, 2011
by Becky Schisler
October 17, 2009/29 Tishrei 5770
Bereishit, God created the heavens and the earth.
We're all familiar with the story of creation. We are taught that God created the world in six days & darkness and light the first day, then the heavens, the land and sea, the sun, moon, and stars, animals, humans, and finally, on the 7th day, the Sabbath.
Initially, he created man as a lone being, but deciding that solitude is not good, took a "side" from the man, formed a woman, and married the two. These, as we all know, are Adam and Eve.
The parshah includes Adam and Eve's partaking of the Tree of Knowledge and subsequent banishment from the Garden of Eden, which leads to a decree that man will experience death, and that all gain will come only through struggle and hardship. The parshah goes on to relate the story of Cain and Abel, and ends with the first mention of Noah, the only "righteous man in a corrupt world."
As I was reading the parshah this past week, I noticed one reoccurring theme: the difference between humans and animals. Namely, we have intuition, intelligence, and the ability to appreciate God; animals have none of these things. We also have souls – we received the "divine kiss" from God when he breathed life into Adam. Animals did not. All of this reminded me of an incident that happened recently when I was teaching Sunday School for fifth graders at my synagogue.
The curriculum for this particular day must have been pulled right from Bereishit. I was teaching the class the difference between animals and humans, and that the life of a human is more important because our tradition teaches that animals don't have souls. But when a child insists that his pet dog has a soul, how can I argue? Why would I want to? To me, that's not what Judaism is about – teaching children that the lives of their animals are of minuscule importance in comparison to ours.
We then got into a discussion about what a soul is. I explained the best I could, spoke of something eternal, of ruach, the light of God inside of you, something that never dies. But how can I teach them something I'm not entirely sure of myself? One little boy offered the analogy that God is like a pizza pie, and a slice of that pizza is inside every one of us.
I liked that a lot. Sometimes, probably more often than we realize, we're the ones who learn from those we teach.
Just something to think about this week.

In Reply: Dr Spence's comments support our Viewpoint. We agree that a 3-group randomized trial with medical treatment, angioplasty with stenting, and surgery as the options for treating renovascular hypertension is needed. It would be wise to include patients with fibromuscular dysplasia in such a trial as well because there is still uncertainty about the optimal treatment for that condition.1
Such a trial is feasible if enough centers would be willing to participate and to abandon the prejudice that the matter has already been settled. In the slipstream of such a study, new techniques could be developed, such as special magnetic resonance angiography features, that could establish the (causative) relationship between anatomical abnormalities and changes in renal function.

Roundup: Iowa rallies past Gents, Notre Dame splits with Jennings
CROWLEY – The Crowley Gents seemed to be in total control Tuesday in their District 4-3A opener against Iowa.
The Gents controlled the tempo and limited the Yellow Jackets to just 26 points in the first three quarters.
But it all went south in the final frame.
The Yellow Jackets caught fire and the Gents went cold in the final period, enabling Iowa to pull out a 44-39 victory in the league opener for both teams.
Iowa outscored the Gents, 18-8 in the final period.
"We just got outside of our offense there in the fourth quarter," said CHS coach Derrick Boone, whose squad fell to 9-10 overall and 0-1 in district play with the loss. "Really, we didn't play well in the second half. We outscored them in the third quarter, but we just weren't in a rhythm."
Iowa's defense was the main reason for the Gents' woes in the second half. The Yellow Jackets forced the Gents into 17 turnovers in the final two frames and limited the hosts to just five baskets from the floor.
"We just didn't run our offense well and we didn't execute," said Boone. We didn't protect the ball, we didn't play tough on the boards and we missed too many layups and putbacks. We just didn't execute, bottom line."
Iowa's defense also held two of Crowley's leading scorers - Danny and Damon Malbrough - in check for most of the night. Danny went scoreless while Damon managed just three points.
"Danny and Damon are two of my captains and they usually combine for 20-plus points per game," said Boone. "When you miss those type points, it makes it tough.
"We just stopped attacking the basket in the second half and we didn't get those scores that we normally get. With those two (Danny and Damon), they were focusing a lot on defense, but we didn't get what we needed out of them on offense."
One bright spot for the Gents was the play of Marcus Williams. The junior forward came off the bench and led the team with a 16-point, 12-rebound performance. He also blocked three shots.
"If I could have had my starters come out like him, we wouldn't have had a problem," said Boone. "He came off the bench and did a heck of a job. He did everything I asked him to do. And a lot of those points came from offensive rebounds. He just hustles and has a knack for the ball."
Andre Mills followed Williams with 10 points and Jeremy Thomas had seven. Jesse Harmon and Damon Malbrough rounded out the Gents' offense with three points each.
The Gents will be in action again Friday when they travel to Longville to take on South Beauregard at 7 p.m.
JENNINGS – The Notre Dame Pioneers dug themselves a deep hole early and never were able to climb out of it Tuesday in their league opener against Jennings.
The hosts took a 37-20 lead at the half and then poured in 28 points in the third quarter to put the game away.
"We just couldn't get it together tonight," said Notre Dame coach Donald Adams. "We got off to a bad start and just couldn't regroup.
"A lack of offense and poor defense is the only way to explain it. We just never gave ourselves a chance to make it competitive."
The Pios only trailed by seven (18-11) after the first quarter, but the Bulldogs went on a tear after that and outscored Notre Dame 47-22 over the next two quarters.
Tre Milstead paced the Pios with 17 points while Hunter Meche ad Jacob Leleux added 10 and seven, respectively.
Luke Habetz followed with four points and Alex Thomas had three. Christian Landry and Tyler Simar each scored one point.
JENNINGS – The Notre Dame Lady Pios ended a two-game slide and they did so in a big way Tuesday.
The Lady Pios scored 39 points in the first half and never looked back in a dominating victory over district foe Jennings.
"This was a good way to start the second part of our season," said ND coach Nolan Theriot. "We came out the gates and shot the ball well. Jennings is struggling this year, but our girls came out with a lot of intensity and they executed the game plan."
The Lady Pios jumped out to a 22-6 advantage in the first quarter and increased their lead to 23 (39-16) at the half.
They followed that with 31 points in the final two frames and limited the Lady Dogs to just 11.
Madelyn LeJeune led the Lady Pios with 14 points while Liddy Rothermel and Katherine Kirsch followed with 13 and 11, respectively.
Elise LeBeouf pitched in seven points, Hanna Esthay added six and Alex Miller, Gabbie Romero and Sam Lyons each had five. Elizabeth Dartez and Tonri Onebane rounded out the scoring with four and one point, respectively.
MIDLAND – Bell City's Lady Bruins jumped out to an early lead and looked to be well on their way to a District 7-B victory over the Midland Lady Rebels Tuesday evening.
Fortunately, Midland's Melody Hebert had other ideas.
Hebert helped the Lady Rebels rally from a 14-point deficit by scoring 15 of her game-high 28 points in the final frame to tie the game at 40-40.
She then continued her efforts in the overtime by drilling a 3-pointer to give Midland just its second lead of the game after taking a 1-0 advantage early in the first quarter. She later added four more free throws down the stretch to seal the victory.
On the night, Hebert connected on seven of her nine 3-point attempts and went 5-for-6 from the free throw line.
The remarkable comeback thwarted an impressive first half for the Lady Bruins, who jumped out to a 24-9 lead at the break.
Midland oustscored Bell City 10-4 run in the third quarter and and went on a 21-12 tear in the fourth to force the extra period.
Katie Woods and Kristen Breaux each scored nine points in the victory while Bethany LeJeune had one.
MIDLAND – The Midland Rebels fended off a late rally by outscoring Bell City 17-8 run in the fourth quarter to defeat the visitors in the District 7-B opener for both teams.
The Rebels led 23-7 at the break before Bell City cut the lead to 31-22 heading into the final stanza.
The Rebels put the game away with a 15-2 run early in the fourth quarter behind seven points from Randy Primeaux.
Jake Gautreaux paced the Rebels with 15 points and five assists. Alan Vondenstein added nine points and five rebounds while Randy Primeaux also finished with nine points.
Darren Arceneaux followed with eight points, six rebounds and two blocks and Stephen Primeaux had seven points.
Midland will be in action again Friday when they play host to Lacassine at 7 p.m.
IOTA – The Iota Lady Bulldogs opened District 5-2A play on a high note Tuesday with an impressive victory against Bunkie.
Mallory Faul led the charge for the Lady Dogs with a double-double. She scored a game-high 21 points and pulled down 19 rebounds in the victory.
Taylor DeVille, in just her second game back after missing four weeks with an injury, scored six points while Jillian Boone and Brittany Johnson each had five. Madison Smith, Alexis St. Andre and Cambri St. Andre scored four points each and Paige Soirez had three.
Iota returns to action Friday when they travel to Pine Prairie for a 6 p.m. showdown.
CROWLEY – Tiara Dugars and Mercedes Rogers combined for 34 points to lead the CHS Ladies to a dominating victory over Iowa Tuesday.
Dugar led the team in scoring with 19 points while Rogers had another big night with 15 points, 20 rebounds, six steals and five blocks.
Akeela Dugar and Nykelia Winters each added four points, Teara Breaux had two and Taylor Dapremont finished with one.
Ascension Episcopal swept Northside Christian in a District 7-C action.
AES defeated the Lady Warriors, 32-26, in the opener and the Blue Gators topped Northside, 43-37 in the nightcap.
Also, the Iota Bulldogs defeated Bunkie, 61-33 in District 5-2A play.

After a lengthy public hearing Tuesday night, members of the Santa Clarita City Council moved one step closer to granting an appeal and allowing a controversial Placerita Canyon property subdivision to move forward.
In a unanimous vote, council members directed city staff to draw up a document granting the appeal to overturn an earlier decision from the city's Planning Commission — which ruled the proposed subdivision of the property at 24837 Quigley Canyon Road to create two, smaller parcels — would violate the city's oak tree ordinance and the special standards district for Placerita Canyon.
The Placerita Canyon special standards district restricts some development to maintain the area's rural and equestrian characteristics.
The appellate, Michael Hairell, has alleged the Planning Commission's decision to deny the project was unduly influenced by Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Ann I. Jones, who lives adjacent to the property and was among the vocal opponents of the land split.
During public comment on the issue, Hairell asked all those who were in attendance and supported his efforts to stand. Around 15 individuals did so.
"I wanted to show you I'm not in this alone," Hairell said.
The project's original applicant, Hairell's son Curtis, died in September. Hairell has previously said the project was meant to build his son's dream home, and he is continuing the project in his son's memory.
Stanley W. Lamport, an attorney who attended the meeting to represent Jones, said the original Planning Commission decision was the correct one.
"Your Planning Commission was very thoughtful in its deliberations on this and came to the right decisions for the right reasons," Lamport told the council.
Councilman Bob Kellar said he made his decision based on the project meeting all the necessary legal requirements, as determined by city staff.
"I will assure you, staff does not make those kinds of recommendations if there is any kind of violation of the law," Kellar said.
Kellar also echoed earlier comments and said the issue came down to private property rights.
"You know, (property rights are) mom and apple pie," Kellar said. "This is America."
Staff will draw up a resolution officially granting an appeal to be presented at next meeting of the City Council. Council members will then decide whether to officially grant the appeal.

Night Prowler Pounces Late in Dania Beach
Missing the break proved advantageous for Night Prowler, who came fast and late for his first stakes victory Jan. 3 in the Dania Beach Stakes (gr. IIIT) for 3-year-olds at Gulfstream Park.
Missing the break proved advantageous for Night Prowler, who came fast and late for his first stakes victory Jan. 3 in the Dania Beach Stakes (gr. IIIT) for 3-year-olds at Gulfstream Park.
Bettors should have a bonanza with Gulfstream Park's $100,000 Marshua's River Stakes (gr. IIIT) Jan. 9 after 14 older fillies and mares were entered for the 1 1/16-mile turf event.
Overflow fields of 12 and four also-eligibles were each drawn for the Tropical Turf and My Charmer Handicaps, both $100,000 grade III turf events Dec. 4 at Calder Casino and Race Course.
Eye of Taurus picked up her second consecutive stakes victory by virtue of her easy triumph in the $100,000 Athenia Stakes (gr. IIIT) Oct. 16 at Belmont Park.
Multiple graded stakes winner Mary's Follies, off for the past 11 months, will make her return in the $100,000 Athenia Stakes (gr. IIIT) Oct. 16 at Belmont Park.
D' Funnybone, trained by Rick Dutrow Jr., will go for his fourth grade II score March 20 at Gulfstream when he leads a field of nine in the Swale Stakes.
Mary's Follies took over at the eighth-pole and went on to win the $209,500 Mrs. Revere (gr. IIT) in stakes record time Nov. 14 at Churchill Downs, remaining perfect in two starts on turf.
The brilliant filly Careless Jewel, a romping winner of Saratoga's Alabama Stakes (gr. I) in her last start, heads the field for the $750,000 Fitz Dixon Cotillion Stakes (gr. II) at Philadelphia Park Oct. 3.
Barbara Hunter's homebred Keertana, winner of three in a row including the last two in stakes company, leads an evenly-matched field of eight 3-year-old fillies who will take to the Saratoga turf for the $150,000 Lake Placid Stakes (gr. IIT) on Aug. 21.
Hall of Fame trainer D. Wayne Lukas has won a lot of races. And, he has seen a lot of weather forecasts. On July 31, he won the off the turf Lake George Stakes at Saratoga with Be Fair.
Mary's Follies made her turf debut a successful one, taking over in upper stretch and then holding off a late charge from Kiawah Cat to win the $150,000 Boiling Springs (gr. IIIT) by a length June 27 at Monmouth Park.
Dell Ridge Farm's Bluegrass Princess, third in her two graded stakes starts this season, may be in prime position to pick up her first black-type victory when facing seven rivals in the $150,000 Boiling Springs Stakes (gr. IIIT) June 27 on the Monmouth Park turf.

The summary below is from the full report titled "The Association of Pipe and Cigar Use With Cotinine Levels, Lung Function, and Airflow Obstruction. A Cross-sectional Study" It is in the 16 February 2010 issue of Annals of Internal Medicine (volume 152, pages 201-210). The authors are J. Rodriguez, R. Jiang, W.C. Johnson, B.A. MacKenzie, L.J. Smith, and R.G. Barr.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a disease of the lungs and the tubes that bring air to the lungs. It is the fourth leading cause of death and will soon replace stroke as the third leading cause of death. People with COPD cough and get short of breath. Damage to the lungs and symptoms of COPD slowly worsen over time. Doctors treat COPD with drugs that widen and decrease swelling in the airways. Oxygen therapy can help some people with COPD. Pulmonary rehabilitation, which involves patient education and exercise, is another type of COPD treatment. It is well known that cigarette smoking is the major cause of the disease. Few studies have examined whether pipe and cigar smoking are also associated with changes in lung function that result in COPD. Because rates of pipe and cigar smoking are increasing in some places, including the United States, it is important to understand whether smoking these tobacco products damages lung function.
To determine whether changes in lung function are associated with pipe and cigar smoking.
3528 people aged 48 to 90 years who were participating in a study of risk factors for cardiovascular disease.
People who participated in the study completed detailed questionnaires about their past and current smoking behaviors. They also completed spirometry. Spirometry is a breathing test that can diagnose COPD on the basis of a measurement called FEV1 (forced expiratory volume in 1 second), which is the amount of air that a person exhales in 1 second compared with that of a healthy person of the same age and size. A person with an FEV1 of 60% exhales about 60% the amount that a typical, healthy person of the same age and size exhales in 1 second. Researchers looked at the associations of pipe, cigar, and cigarette smoking with changes in lung function that were found on spirometry.
Of the 3528 people in the study, 9 out of every 100 reported ever smoking a pipe, 11 out of every 100 reported ever smoking cigars, and more than half reported ever smoking cigarettes. Greater use of pipes, cigars, and cigarettes were each associated with worsening measures of lung function. Of note, even if they did not also smoke cigarettes, people who smoked pipes or cigars had about twice the risk for abnormal lung function than never smokers.
This study asked people to report on previous smoking behaviors, and reports may not be completely accurate; however, reports of current smoking were checked by measuring for products of tobacco smoke in the urine. Information on whether participants who had abnormal lung test results also had symptoms of lung disease was not analyzed.
Pipe and cigar smoking is associated with obstructive lung disease, which is one of the reasons to avoid these tobacco products. Other bad health effects of pipe and cigar smoking include heart disease, lung cancer, and cancer of the mouth and throat.

Never one for holding his tongue, Simon Cowell is already declaring his intentions when it comes to his favorite for the fourth American Idol crown.
Monday on Live with Regis & Kelly, Cowell told his interviewers that he had his eye on one performer in particular. "She's like a country singer, a blond girl," he said.
While Cowell didn't name her, the New York Post speculates that it's Carrie Underwood, a 21-year-old singer from Oklahoma who auditioned for the show at its St. Louis tryouts. Underwood sang the Bonnie Raitt hit "I Can't Make You Love Me," and was a standout among the judges, who pushed her through to the next round in Hollywood.
Cowell and judges Randy Jackson and Paula Abdul weren't the only ones to notice Underwood, however. The young singer has already lit up American Idol message boards and spawned her own Web fan club, the Post reports.
Simon also revealed a bit about the judges grueling days of screening contestants, when they would sit through nearly 100 Idol hopefuls. "By the time you hit 90 (performers), you've had it," he said.
He also said that the past Idol winners were recognizable from the start, giving some hope to his praise for Underwood. "There are one or two every year," Cowell said. "You're never going to find 50 great people. But if you can find two or three ?"
Nearly 200 contestants move on to the Hollywood competition, which begins Tuesday night.

With the prospect of deeper state cuts to local budgets, West Michigan leaders are looking to a regional tax as one way out of a grim fiscal box.
Gov. Rick Snyder wants to tie revenue sharing to local communities' success at trimming costs through consolidation. But with revenue sharing already slashed by $4 billion since 2000, officials fear the proposal could mean more pain and no gain.
If revenue sharing is reduced or eliminated, said Kent County administrator Daryl Delabbio, there has to be a "holistic approach to how revenues are provided."
Delabbio said that could include a regional tax for specific purposes, such as transportation or police and fire services.
Delabbio noted that residents of Grand Rapids, Kentwood and Wyoming voted in May to support tax increases for police and fire services. Voters in Holland said yes to $73 million in school bonds to pay for better buildings, computers and athletic facilities.
"That tells me that if citizens believe they are receiving value for their dollar, they are willing to support those services," he said.
Kent County is slated to receive $12 million in revenue sharing in 2012, Delabbio said.
If that were eliminated, Delabbio said, "That would be the equivalent of our parks department, our zoo, cooperative extension and probably some road patrol."
But passage of any such regional tax could be problematic at best.
Regional property or income taxes could require legislative approval. A regional sales tax might require asking voters statewide to amend the state's constitutional sales tax cap of 6 percent.
Even with legislative authorization, a regional tax would likely also need approval by local governmental bodies to put it on the ballot. Then it would then face an uncertain fate with voters wary of tax hikes and skeptical of sharing funds with other communities.
Dan Gilmartin, CEO of the Michigan Municipal League, is in discussions with the Snyder administration to find mechanisms to authorizes such taxes.
The fact that officials are even discussing such options is symptomatic of the battering local budgets have absorbed in the past decade.
Grand Rapids Mayor George Heartwell said the state has withheld more than $100 million in revenue sharing funds over the past decade.
Heartwell said any further cuts to revenue sharing would be "extremely difficult for the city absorb."
"You see the direct effects of this in fewer police and firefighters available to local governments," said Don Stypula, executive director of the Grand Valley Metropolitan Council.
"It is a significant drop."
At the same time, Stypula said, reaping significant savings from consolidating services can be easier said than done.
"It looks great on paper," he said.
He added that consolidation is complicated by legal complexities, including state law that currently requires employees to be paid at the highest rate provided by a unit of government participating in the merger.
Completing it "could take years and years," he said.
Heartwell said the option of a regional tax "would be very helpful. The example I would use would be funding for local streets, capital needs or county-wide transit that could be funded out of a sales tax."
He called a link between revenue sharing and consolidation "a worthy objective. In the Kent County area, we are already prepared for that. I actually would welcome that." Heartwell cited the sharing of police dispatch services between Grand Rapids and Wyoming, consolidation he said has saved $1.5 million dollars.
Late last year, the neighboring cities of Grand Rapids, Wyoming and Kentwood began discussions on the possible merger of their respective fire departments. The talks were spurred in part by the proximity of facilities in each community.
But the departments have significant differences as well.
The Grand Rapids Fire Department has 224 full-time employees and responded to 658 fires and 12,649 medical emergencies from 11 stations in 2009. The Kentwood Fire Department has 41 firefighters with six paid-per-call employees. According to the department's website, it responded to 3,956 calls in 2009. The Wyoming Fire Department has 24 full-time firefighters and 26 paid-per-call firefighters and responded to 4,863 calls in 2009.
In Wyoming, City Manager Curtis Holt said politicians are making consolidation "a panacea that it is not."
He cited the assumption that merging the three fire departments would automatically equal large savings.
"You still have the same area to cover. You still have the same structures to cover. Just because you combine doesn't mean there are great savings," Holt said.
"You can cut some administration. Absolutely you can. But the cost of a chief is what, $150,000 a year? That's nothing when you are looking at a $40 million combined budget."
In the meantime, revenue sharing to Wyoming has been slashed from about $5 million to well under $1 million. Holt said he no longer counts on it for the city's budget.
"It has become very insignificant in our budget anyway."
Kentwood has seen its revenue sharing wiped out, from a high of more than $1 million in 2000.
Mayor Richard Root is skeptical the state will follow through with any promise to reward consolidation.
"I even wonder if the state is going to come up with the money to incentivize. Let's face it, they are broke.
"Consolidation, it's a buzzword right now. But it's not going to be an immediate and obvious solution."

THERE is a list I keep in my head. It's an accounting of where I was for each of Cleveland's sports debacles.
Red Right 88, The Drive, The Fumble, The Shot, Jose Mesa, the 1999 ALDS, the 2007 ALCS.
If you're a Cleveland sports fan, chances are you can close your eyes and take yourself back to assorted dates in the 1980s, 1990s or just two years ago and re-live the misery.
And if you can't, there is always technology. I know a guy who used to close all the curtains in his house, turn off all the lights and watch VHS tapes of the The Drive and The Fumble for kicks.
I've never quite been that bad.
I have no desire to watch John Elway pick apart Marty Schottenheimer's prevent defense or argue the merits of the field goal Rich Karlis supposedly kicked in overtime.
You can watch Earnest Byner slice through the Broncos' defense all you want. Jeremiah Castille always strips the ball just before Byner gets to the end zone.
Michael Jordan always hangs in the air just long enough to let Craig Ehlo fly by, then shoots down the Cavaliers.
Mesa always shakes off Sandy Alomar Jr. just before that fateful pitch to Charles Johnson, and later Edgar Renteria's cheap hit always slips under Tony Fernandez's glove.
Oh, yeah. Those details I wasn't going to bring up. Sorry about that.
After Friday night, though, there is finally a positive highlight to add to that list, courtesy of LeBron James.
The Cavaliers might not win an NBA championship this season. If they continue to fritter away big leads against the Orlando Magic, they might not even win this series.
But James' buzzer-beating 3-pointer, off an inbounds pass from Mo Williams with one second to play, won Game 2 of the Eastern Conference finals and changed the series in an instant.
The Cavaliers were one second from a 2-0 deficit heading into Games 3 and 4 in Orlando. Now they have a chance to regain home-court advantage, and that chance came by way of a moment that will be burned into the memory of Clevelanders for decades to come.
It was about time one of those moments went our way. Cleveland has played Charlie Brown to fate's Lucy for much too long. We've even come to accept that at some point, she's going to yank that football away and we're going to miss it and fall flat on our backs again.
With 13.6 seconds to play and the game tied at 93, I wondered out loud what strange, hideous twist of fate would cause the Cavaliers to lose.
Hedo Turkoglu cooperated with a runner in the lane to give Orlando the lead with one second to play.
Game over. NBA championship hopes circling the drain. Just another Cleveland choke job.
But not on James' watch. Not this time.
For once.

Hedge Fund Forced Novell Buyout…but Didn't Get Rich
Elliott Associates won. Sort of.
The hedge fund in March helped force software company Novell to put itself on the block. Elliott swooped in with an unsolicited offer for the company at $5.75 a share. Novell rejected that offer but agreed to seek possible buyers for the company.
Today, they kicked one through the uprights. Novell announced this morning an agreement to sell itself to a firm controlled by a trio of private-equity firms for $6.10 a share. Novell said the buyout deal is valued at about $2.2 billion, including a $450 million side agreement to sell Novell intellectual-property assets to a consortium of tech companies organized by Microsoft.
Based on back-of-the-envelope math, Elliott Associates reaped a rough paper profit on the deal of $40 million. Not chump change, for sure, but not exactly a buy-a-Lamborghini Gallardo windfall either, particularly if you take out the time and money it cost Elliott to pursue Novell.
UPDATE: Elliott will become an equity investor in Attachmate, the potential acquirer of Novell. The deal allows Elliott to capture future upside in Novell and its remaining assets. "Elliott is pleased to have been a major catalyst in this transaction, enabling Novell's shareholders to realize substantial shareholder value," Jesse A. Cohn, portfolio manager at Elliott Management, said in Attachmate's news release. "Novell has a robust product set that we believe will create a significant value opportunity as part of the Attachmate Corporation portfolio of products."
On Elliott's existing equity stake in Novell, the math works out this way. Elliott Associates owned about 24.7 million shares of Novell outright, and another 5.2 million Novell shares via derivative agreements, according to this August securities filing.
The hedge fund bought most of those shares in the first quarter this year, according to LionShares, at a time when Novell's stock price was generally floating from $4.50 to $4.75 a share. At the high end of that range, Elliott's stock was valued at roughly $142 million. At today's offer price of $6.10 a share, Elliott can bag roughly $183 million.

Mobile quarterbacks are having a renaissance in the NFL, thus raising the profile of some of the more athletic prospects in the 2013 NFL Draft.
Colin Kaepernick and Robert Griffin III have been extremely successful this season by running the read-option offense. RG3 led the Washington Redskins to the playoffs and Kaepernick's San Francisco 49ers are in Super Bowl XLVII.
Russell Wilson, while not the runner that Kaepernick or Griffin are, was also extremely good in 2012, using his mobility to get past the rush and create more time for himself outside the pocket.
As a result of the three's success, teams will be looking at some of the more mobile quarterbacks in the draft in a much better light. Their rushing abilities can play a significant role in an NFL offense.
With that in mind, here are the six most athletic quarterbacks who could be drafted come April.

Event planning has always been a hobby for Debbie Jimenez, a Mission resident who is busy coordinating weddings for her loved ones.
"The owners of the venue I'm using for my nephew's wedding said 'you sound like you know what you're doing'," said Jimenez, who took the course fall 2013. "I told them I was planning this wedding and took a course with Letty (instructor)."
The Office of Continuing Education, in partnership with Lovegevity Wedding Planning Institute, will offer the Certificate in Wedding and Event Planning for those interested in starting their own event planning business, looking for a job within the industry or planning their family and friends' weddings.
Classes begin March 22 and will be held every other Saturday starting from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. with online studies in between. Tuition fee is $1,300 per person and includes an online curriculum, online student center, and wedding and event planning software. The course also provides for the textbook and certificate exam fee. Class will be held at the McAllen Teaching Site and other event locations as planned by the instructor. This is the second time UTPA will offer the certificate program.
Mary Vega, an event specialist for the City of McAllen under Parks and Recreation, said she was motivated to continue her education after receiving The Valley Wedding Pages Scholarship, which provides a limited number of student scholarships to help cover partial registration fee.
"I'm very happy where I am," Vega said. "I was named Exemplary Employee because I decided to pursue my certification."
Participants will learn the "how-to" for the industry and gain insights during class and at events that will help transform ordinary spaces into a client's vision. In-class sessions not only allow for instructor interaction but also new perspectives and insider information from guest speakers, giving students the opportunity to begin networking with local professionals.
"I learned a lot of statistics, different types of weddings, different types of cultures and the role of every one that participates," said Jimenez. "Details that we take for granted make a wedding look better."
The course will be led by Leticia Guerra-Cantu, renowned event planner and owner of The Valley Wedding Pages, LLC. Students will be given real life experience by assisting at events coordinated by Guerra-Cantu.
"I heard about the course on the news and I decided to do it because it's something different," said Ruby Escobedo, a UTPA Business Administration major and hopeful event planner. "It's very hands-on experience; the instructor actually took us to events, weddings and grand openings."
The last cohort of participants not only included aspiring business owners but soon-to-be brides such as Kristina Reyes who is getting married this May. Reyes took the course with her mother to get a better understanding of how to plan her own wedding.
"I didn't know much about weddings and I was able to finalize my own timelines," the Weslaco native said. "I did a lot of things I didn't know I was able to do and I guess it saved me a lot of money."

THE pathogenesis of the nephrotic syndrome is not entirely clear. The alterations in the electrophoretic pattern of the serum and its albumin fractions in nephrotic patients,1 along with changes in the esterase activity of their plasma,2 have focused attention on the liver as the source of these modifications.3 These reports, however, have not been conclusive.
A study of any metabolic process involving the integrity of both renal and hepatic activity for its ultimate consummation would be helpful in the evaluation of the role played by each organ. This observation would be particularly true, if, knowing the specific function of each organ involved, one could measure alterations in the intermediate and end products of the metabolic cycle in nephrotic subjects. It might then be possible to indicate the system at fault.
The metabolism of creatinine lends itself well to such an investigation. The process is initiated in the

Cheese Blintzes for Shavuot
Shavuot celebrates the receiving of the Ten Commandments on Mount Sinai and brings with it centuries of food traditions. It is the time when dairy foods are traditionally served, and cheese blintzes are one of the most popular dishes of the holiday.
I may not serve blintzes during the year, but my family can count on having them on Shavuot, and always filled with hoop cheese.
This year I am preparing cheese blintzes two different ways. One is the classic European recipe, made with thin pancakes filled with hoop cheese, rolled up like an envelope, fried, topped with sour cream or fruit preserves, and served as the main course.
The other is crespelle, a contemporary Italian dish. Crepes are filled with ricotta cheese and spinach, rolled and baked. I always marvel at how easy and versatile crepes are. This recipe is delicious. When finished, the filled crespelle are served on tomato sauce and garnished with basil. Think of it as blintzes with an Italian accent.
At a recent cooking class, one of my students commented that Shavuot was her favorite Jewish holiday. When I asked why, she said she loves the concept of serving only dairy dishes for family and friends when they come to dinner. She also enjoys decorating her home with the spring flowers that are in bloom during this period.
For dessert you will want to serve an easy-to-make ricotta soufflé. This cheese soufflé-like dessert makes a wonderful finale for your holiday dinner. I mix the cheese, egg yolks and lemon zest several hours before the guests arrive. Then after dinner I fold the beaten egg whites into the egg yolk mixture, fill the soufflé molds, and bake. No one minds the wait, especially when they taste this warm, light and flavorful dessert.
Classic Cheese Blintzes
Cheese Filling (recipe follows)
3 eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
1 1/4 cups flour
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
Unsalted butter or nondairy margarine
1 tablespoon brandy or sweet wine
Prepare the cheese filling, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
Blend eggs and milk in small bowl. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar and salt. Add the egg mixture gradually and blend until smooth. Add 1 tablespoon melted butter or margarine and brandy and blend well. Pour through coarse strainer to remove lumps of flour that do not dissolve. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
Butter and preheat a 6-inch skillet. Pour 1/4 cup batter into pan to form a thin pancake, tilting pan and swirling batter to patch up holes. Quickly pour off excess batter into unused batter. When lightly brown, turn out of pan onto plate or cloth. Stack with waxed paper between pancakes. Cool. Makes about 18 pancakes.
Fill the browned side of each prepared pancake with the cheese mixture and fold, tucking ends in. Melt 3 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet. Cook the blintzes on both sides, two or three minutes on each side, or until lightly browned. Repeat with remaining blintzes, adding more butter as needed. With a metal spatula, carefully transfer the blintzes to a serving platter. Serve with bowls of preserves, sour cream, yogurt and sugar.
Cheese Filling
2 pounds hoop, farmer or pot cheese
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
In a large bowl, mix together the hoop cheese, sugar, salt and eggs until blended. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in refrigerator until ready to assemble the blintzes.
Crespelle With Ricotta and Spinach
Pureed Tomato Sauce (recipe follows)
Classic Blintz (see recipe)
1 pound ricotta cheese
8 ounces spinach, steamed, squeezed dry, and finely chopped
Freshly grated nutmeg
Salt to taste
Prepare the tomato sauce and set aside.
Prepare the classic blintzes; cook as directed until the underside is lightly browned around the edges, two to three minutes. Turn and cook on the other side one to two minutes.
Place the ricotta in a strainer set over a medium bowl for 30 minutes to drain. Mix the drained ricotta cheese, spinach, nutmeg and salt in a large bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate. Makes about 3 cups.
Spread about 2 tablespoons of the ricotta-spinach filling over the entire surface of each crepe. Fold 1/2 inch of each side over the filling and roll up tight. Cut each roll into four pieces and place on the baking sheet. Bake until heated through, about five minutes.
To serve, heat the tomato sauce and spoon some in the center of each plate. Arrange four or five rolled crepes, cut side up, on top of the sauce. Serves 12.
Pureed Tomato Sauce
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 small white onion, finely diced
1 can (16 ounces) whole plum tomatoes, with liquid
2 cups peeled, seeded, and chopped fresh tomatoes
4 whole basil leaves, sliced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and brown. Add the onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about five minutes. Add the canned and fresh tomatoes and basil and simmer until soft, about five minutes. Using a wire whisk or fork, mash the tomatoes. Simmer over low heat until the mixture thickens into a sauce, about 45 minutes to one hour. Season with salt and pepper. Let cool. May cover with plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator for two to three days and freezer for up to one month. Makes about 4 cups.
Piccoli Soufflé di Ricotta
(Individual Ricotta Soufflés)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter for molds
14 ounces fresh, unsalted ricotta cheese
6 large eggs, separated
2 tablespoons grated lemon zest
1 tablespoon Sambuca or other anise-flavored liqueur
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
Preheat the oven to 350 F. Brush eight 6-ounce soufflé molds with butter and place in the refrigerator.
In a large bowl, strain the ricotta (for a creamy consistency), by pressing it through a fine sieve or strainer. Add the egg yolks, one at a time, until well blended. Mix in the lemon zest and Sambuca. (At this point you can cover the mixture with plastic wrap and refrigerate up to four hours.)
In the large bowl of an electric mixer, beat the egg whites until foamy. Add 1/2 cup of the sugar and beat until stiff peaks form. Gently fold into the ricotta mixture. Dust the prepared molds evenly with the remaining sugar. Line an ovenproof pan that is large enough to hold the cups with a cloth. Place the prepared molds in the pan and carefully spoon the ricotta mixture into the molds. Fill one-third of the pan with hot water and bake for 20 minutes, or until soufflés are puffy and golden brown. Dust with confectioners' sugar and serve immediately. Makes 8 soufflés.

Featured Golf News
Fallen Oak in Mississippi Set to Once Again Host Champions Tour
Peter Jacobsen mentioned it in the same sentence as Pebble Beach and Augusta National. Loren Roberts said it could host a major championship. Ben Crenshaw, himself a noted architect, called it "an honest golf course." And Jay Haas put it in "the top five" of the host courses on the Champions Tour.
In 2010, Fallen Oak in Biloxi, Miss., was more than ready for its close-up among the game's legends. Now, the Tom Fazio design is ready for its encore. For the second time, the Champions Tour's mainstays will test their games at Fallen Oak March 28-April 3 for the Mississippi Gulf Resort Classic.
"We are proud to host this spectacular tournament again and look forward to welcoming the Champions Tour professionals back to Fallen Oak," said George P. Corchis, Jr., MGM Resorts International's president and chief operating officer of regional operations. "The MGRC has quickly become one of the region's signature sporting events and provides a tremendous boost to the Mississippi Gulf Coast tourism industry."
Some of the games most decorated players will find a course in pristine condition. Fallen Oak earned its 20th national award in 2010, four years after opening in November 2006.
"Fallen Oak is exciting. It's an exciting golf course to play: demanding, fun, tough. It's exciting to play all the great golf courses we play out here, like Pebble Beach, Augusta National and Fallen Oak," Jacobsen said after the 2010 Classic.
For Jacobsen to drop Pebble Beach's name in the same sentence as Fallen Oak is not lost on the raters of Golf Digest. Pebble Beach (No. 1) was the only Champions Tour course rated ahead of Fallen Oak (No. 19) in the magazine's list of "America's Greatest 100 Courses You Can Play."
"It's an honest golf course. There's a good mix of holes: long par-3s, short par-3s, a driveable par-4. But all the holes are filled with quality," Crenshaw said. "There's a lot to deal with here because it's a real good test of golf. It's quality."
Fallen Oak's quality is such that Champions Tour officials haven't needed to create more work for Director of Grounds Matt Hughes and his staff. Both received high praise from players and fans alike after the 2010 event for the course's condition.
"Condition-wise, the strength of the layout, this is easily in the top-five ¬- if not the best course ¬ we play all year," said Haas, who finished tied for 19th in 2010.
The biggest challenge for Hughes and his staff is once again, maintaining Fallen Oak's numerous and notorious bunkers. Fazio designed every bunker with a purpose and it's up to Hughes and Co. to ensure the purpose remains consistent with not only Fazio's design, but with the Champions Tour course management team.
"The course is in incredible shape and it's not out of line with where we normally maintain it," Hughes said. "What the Champions Tour staff is most interested in seeing is how we handle the bunkers to prevent buried lies and keeping the rough consistent. But we learned how they wanted things last year, so this is much easier to manage."
Last year, David Eger managed Fallen Oak better than his fellow Champions Tour pros. His winning score of 11-under-par 205 for three rounds was one of 27 scores of par or better among the 75 players who finished all three rounds. Barely a third of the field shot par or better over 54 holes, yet Fallen Oak stood tall in the eyes of the players.
"It sets up really nicely. It's a very good golf course. It's right up there with all the best courses we play out here. This is a good test of golf and that's what you look for out here," said John Cook (T39 in 2010).
"We came off a very cold winter last year and while we knew the players would love the site and conditions, we weren¹t sure how much of a test it would provide these guys," Fallen Oak general manager David Stinson said. "But they not only found a true test of golf, but our infrastructure held up tremendously, even with the rainy and windy weather we had on Sunday."
Stinson said last year that his fondest hope was that the players he and many of the fans lining Fallen Oak¹s fairways and greens grew up watching would say Fallen Oak was one of the finest courses they played all year. He was not disappointed.
"You could hold a major championship on this course. All you have to do is grow the rough up a little," said Roberts, who finished T12 at 4-under-par last year.
"I think they did a very nice job getting it in shape for the inaugural tournament and I know they'll work on improving it ¬ if that¹s possible ¬ in the coming years," added Bernhard Langer (T39 last year), the reigning Champions Tour Player of the Year.
And once the Champions Tour pros are finished with their test, Fallen Oak remains one of the must-play golfing destinations in the United States. Joining the heralded Shadow Creek as the only courses built by MGM Resorts International for their guests, Fallen Oak is located on a 510-acre tract at the edge of the DeSoto National Forest.
Stretching a hearty 7,487 yards from the back tees, Fallen Oak offers golfers five sets of tees and strategic play options as each hole winds through ever-changing terrain and environments.
Fallen Oak is available exclusively for guests of Beau Rivage. Greens fees are $200. For more information or to make reservations, call toll-free 877/805-4657 or visit www.beaurivage.com.

The American Red Cross is sending another disaster relief expert to help families recovering from Hurricane Sandy.
Shannon Jones will leave Amarillo Wednesday morning for New York and work as a client caseworker.
"When natural disasters like Hurricane Sandy happen, it's the Red Cross that responds first by having volunteers ready to go at a moment's notice" said Steve Pair, executive director, Texas Panhandle chapter.
"Times like this are the reason trained volunteers are so important to the Red Cross. Knowing what to do in a situation like Hurricane Sandy is what we prepare our volunteers for so they can help out wherever needed."
To date, the two Red Cross chapters in the Panhandle have sent a total of 13 volunteers to help with the Red Cross response to the storm.
"We are so proud of all of the volunteers from the Panhandle who have traveled to the east coast to help those impacted by the storm," Pair said. "I truly believe it highlights the generous spirit of the folks who live throughout the Texas Panhandle."
You can help the Red Cross deliver immediate relief in the wake of Hurricane Sandy and countless other crises at home and around the world, by making a donation to support American Red Cross Disaster Relief. Your gift enables the Red Cross to prepare for and provide shelter, food, emotional support and other assistance in response to disasters.

'SNL' adds to cast
NBC's comic institution "Saturday Night Live," criticized recently for a lack of diversity, will add a black woman to its repertory cast when new episodes start again later this month.
Sasheer Zamata, who graduated from the University of Virginia in 2008 and has worked with the New York Upright Citizens Brigade comedy troupe, will join for the Jan. 18 episode, for which Drake is the host and the musical guest. Zamata, 27, is from Indianapolis.
The 137 regular cast members who have been part of "Saturday Night Live" since its 1975 debut have been mostly white and have included only four black women. The most recent was biracial Maya Rudolph, who left in 2007. Black men, including Eddie Murphy, Tracy Morgan and Chris Rock, have played more prominent roles.
The lack of a black woman among the 16 regular or featured players became an issue this season when the two black male cast members, Kenan Thompson and Jay Pharoah, commented publicly about it and made it known they would no longer dress in drag to portray black women.
"SNL" turned the issue into comedy when "Scandal" star Kerry Washington was a guest host. Washington was portrayed as exasperated when she was asked to impersonate first lady Michelle Obama, Oprah Winfrey and Beyonc� in the same skit.
Campion to lead
Cannes fest jury
Director Jane Campion, the only woman to win the top prize at the Cannes Film Festival, will lead the jury for the prestigious event this year.
Festival organizers announced that Campion will succeed Steven Spielberg, who led the jury in 2013.
New Zealander Campion was awarded the Palme d'Or prize in 1993 for "The Piano," and earlier won Cannes' top short film award.
While several women have presided over the jury before, most films presented have been directed by men.
Festival director Gilles Jacob described Campion as "a true master," who wowed juries with films "shot through with such courage and humanity and captured such a unique world."
Campion, looking ahead to the May 14-25 festival, said, "I can't wait."
Norton joins Franco
in 'Of Mice and Men'
Jim Norton will join James Franco in the Broadway revival of "Of Mice and Men."
Producers said that Norton, whose recent credits include "The Mystery of Edwin Drood" and a Tony Award-winning turn in "The Seafarer," will play aging ranch handyman Candy.
The story by John Steinbeck centers on big-dreaming George, played by Franco, and the mentally challenged Lennie, portrayed by Chris O'Dowd. Former "Gossip Girl" star Leighton Meester will play a beautiful temptress.
The play, which starts performances March 19 at the Longacre Theatre, hasn't been seen on Broadway in 40 years. Tony Award winner Anna D. Shapiro will direct.
'Downton Abbey' premiere
draws record audience
"Downton Abbey" drew a record-breaking audience for Sunday's much-anticipated season premiere.
The fourth-season debut of the lush British miniseries attracted 10.2 million viewers, according to Nielsen Fast National data.
This audience improves upon the viewership of the third-season premiere by 22 percent. PBS officials said it's the highest-rated drama premiere in network history.
The two-hour episode picks up the action six months after the sudden death of Downton heir Matthew Crawley on last season's finale.
"Downton Abbey" airs on the "Masterpiece" anthology, which is presented on PBS by WGBH Boston. Stars include Hugh Bonneville, Michelle Dockery and Maggie Smith.
Ke$ha thanks fans
for their support
Ke$ha, the "Die Young" pop singer who started a 30-day stint in rehab on Friday, said she is overwhelmed by the support of fans. Ke$ha is being treated at Timberline Knolls, outside Chicago, for an eating disorder.
It's the same facility where Demi Lovato sought help in 2010.
"I'm a crusader for being yourself and loving yourself, but I've found it hard to practice," Ke$ha said. "I'll be learning to love myself again. Exactly as I am. I'm grateful for the support of all my fans."
Dr. Luke, the music producer who signed Ke$ha at age 18, reportedly slammed her appearance in a 2012 music video, comparing her to a refrigerator -- and the pop singer took it to heart, according to TMZ.
"I feel like my fans are really protective of me," she told Rolling Stone in October before admitting she doesn't really have creative control of her music. "They just want to see me grow as an artist, which I agree with."
Queen Latifah's show
gets renewed by CBS
CBS has renewed "The Queen Latifah Show" for a second season.
At a time when so many celebrities have been entering the daytime talk show arena, Queen Latifah's show has managed to hold its own amid the competitive clutter.
It debuted last September to a strong 1.7 rating -- putting it just behind Katie Couric's talk show (which will end its run this summer after two seasons) as the top talker entry since "Dr. Oz" in 2009. So far, it remains the No. 1 new talk show, beating out "Real Housewives" alum Bethenny Frankel.
This marks Queen Latifah's second attempt as a talk-show host. Her last outing, which was distributed by Warner Bros., ran from 1999 to 2001.
"Unlike before, now it's a set intention of what I really want to do," Latifah, whose real name is Dana Owens, said.

Two Bayonne jewelry store owners quickly got wise to a man's attempt to sell them fake gold bullion, police said.
Monday afternoon, Behor Mushiev, 49, of New York, walked into a jewelry store on Broadway's 500 block and attempted to sell three pieces of metal he claimed were "pure gold," police said.
When the store owner tested the metals for their authenticity, the results were inconclusive, police said.
The owner was suspicious, so he contacted another nearby jewelry store owner and learned that Mushiev had also attempted to sell the metals there, police said.
When police officers arrived, Mushiev agreed to accompany them to police headquarters, police said.
Mushiev was found to be in possession of a fraudulent Florida license and additional metals, police said.
The alleged swindler has been charged with one count of criminal attempt, one charge of theft by deception and one count of possessing a false government document, police said, adding that he was then released.
Mike D'Onofrio contributed to this report.
