| Macy Slams Lohan for Lateness
Veteran actor William H. Macy has blasted co-star Lindsay Lohan for her behavior while filming the movie "Bobby," insisting she "should have her ass kicked." The star shared scenes with the 20-year-old actress in the film and admires her talent, but not her manners. He said, "You can't show up late. It's very, very disrespectful." Lohan was blasted in a letter last month from the CEO of Morgan Creek Productions for her absences on set of her new film "Georgia Rule," who called her behavior that of "a spoiled child." Lohan appears in the film alongside Macy's wife, "Desperate Housewives" star Felicity Huffman. He explains, "I think what an actor has to realize (is that) when you show up an hour late, 150 people have been scrambling to cover for you.
Prescription For Teen Dating Do's And Don'ts: Parents Should Talk ...
The Beatles were wrong when the said "all you need is love," says Marilyn Maxwell, M.D., professor of internal medicine and pediatrics at Saint Louis University. Teens also need their parents to provide guidance and boundaries when it comes to dating and relationships.
"Some parents feel uncomfortable creating any type of boundaries for their children, particularly as they get older," Maxwell says. "But contrary to popular belief, kids do feel safer and more secure when they have boundaries."
Maxwell, who is a contributing author to both Questions Kids Ask About Sex: Honest Answers for Every Age and Focus on the Family's Complete Guide to Baby and Child Care, says that talking with children about relationships is something that should start long before the first date.
Clinton, once the front-runner, now the 'victim'
Everybody wanted to know which Hillary Rodham Clinton would show up to the Cleveland debate. It turned out to be the one who wanted the world to understand that the press was tougher on her than on Barack Obama. She made her case by citing a sketch last week on "Saturday Night Live" that showed mock debate moderators grilling her stand-in, Amy Poehler, but fawning over the Obama character. "Well, can I just point out that in the last several debates, I seem to get the first question all the time," Clinton said. "I don't mind, you know, I'll be happy to field them. But I do find it curious. And if anybody saw 'Saturday Night Live,' maybe we should ask Barack if he's comfortable and needs another pillow." The pillow was her own flourish; on the show, the actors playing journalists asked the faux Obama if he was comfortable.
Might Some Women Boycott Elections if Hillary Loses the Nomination?
I'd make some snarky comment about your being a noob, but I know better. If it didn't cross your mind, then you must post without reading anything, for all political sites are rife with this attitude. Should you have any doubts, please feel free to look back over the anti-Mormom Romney bashing that occurred on this very site. What '-ist" would that be, I wonder. The really interesting thing about this poll, is the number of selections of the non-answer answer :o). Unless you believe there is one and only one person in the entire US that will not vote if Hillary is not the nominee, and that person is wavering, then the 'maybe' choice has no meaning. If you think even one single person will sit out, then the answer must be yes; only if you conclude that not a single person will sit out can you vote no.
Letters: Why Hoiles' taxation argument fails
Columnist Gordon Dillow's article about World War II cartoonist Bill Mauldin was touching, timely and beautifully memorable ["Memories over the transom," Local, Nov. 11]. I was just 24 days short of 5 years old when Pearl Harbor was bombed. I could read before I went to school and was an avid comic strip fan. I remember well Bill's characters, Willie and Joe, and I would have loved to have a chance to hold his hand and tell him of my memories. Thanks for the good remembrances. Lois Wilkins of Costa Mesa

Bandits hogtied after raiding bikie meeting
As this guy opened up the roller door we crashed tackled him in the doorway," Mr van Cornwall told ABC 702 radio. The man wriggled free, but was pursued and crash-tackled again by Mr van Cornwall, who restrained him until police arrived. Police soon located the second robber nearby. One of the robbers was taken to Westmead Hospital with minor injuries. The Bear said the robbers appeared to instantly regret attempting the heist when they saw the bikers. "It was one one of those stopped-time moments," he said. "It was very hard to see the expression on their faces because of the balaclavas, but I imagine it was something along lines of 'Oh shit, what have we done here?'." Regents Park Sporting Club manager Eddie Kiosoff said the bikers had been regulars at the club for about a year, visiting a few nights a week.
Eddie Murphy Sells Californian House
The 'Beverly Hills Cop' star shared the 10-bedroom mansion in Granite Bay, California, with his ex-wife Nicole, who filed for divorce in 2005 after 12 years of marriage. The couple - who purchased the property in 1998 - used it as a holiday home with their five children Bria, 19, Miles, 16, Shane Audra, 14, Zola Ivy, 9, and six-year-old Bella Zahra. It features a home theatre with an arcade, tennis court, gymnasium, swimming pool, spa and outdoor kitchen complete with a barbecue. The 11,000 sq ft mansion has views of the nearby Folsom Lake, and is situated on 2.5 acres of land.
As well as 10 bedrooms, the property comes with a detached 5,200 sq ft guest house which has two additional suites. Nicole - who legally separated from Eddie in October 2006 and is now rumoured to be dating American football star Michael Strahan - has also reportedly put her own house, located in Calabases, California, up for sale for nearly $10 million.
UC Davis Gets $1M grant to respond to violence against women
The University of California, Davis, will use a new, nearly $1 million federal grant to help the UC's 10 campuses improve their response to violence against women. The three-year project, supported by a $999,369 grant from the U.S. Department of Justice's Office on Violence Against Women, aims to coordinate a model program to reduce the incidence of campus-based violence against women, including domestic and dating violence, sexual assault and stalking. The program will also focus on improving the quality of response when such incidents do occur. The innovations it promises in cross-campus partnerships could benefit a broad range of colleges and universities throughout the country. In 2000, the Justice Department published a study on the sexual victimization of college women. It concluded that there are more than 27 incidents of violence against women for every 1,000 female students, and fewer than 5 percent are reported to police or campus officials.
Obama extends streak with wins in Hawaii and Wisconsin

Ottawa doles out $60-billion in tax relief
I've done some Googling lately to try to put some numbers behind my comments. The numbers are hard to find, but the word that does appear often to describe Martin's cuts is 'Massive'. Without those cuts we probably wouldn't have balanced federal budgets. But the provinces wouldn't have had to cut back on services. Care to comment on that?

Triumph after tragedy
Keeping basketball in perspective at tournament time is difficult, but not when you consider what Pendleton County junior Shannon Lorenz has been through recently. Lorenz's free throw with one second left lifted Pendleton County to a 63-62 victory in the 38th District semifinals on Tuesday, just a few days after her mother, Pam, died following a battle with cancer. In the last month, Shannon withdrew from school and did her studies in a home-bound program while she helped care for her mom. Basketball was not a priority. Shannon made practice when her schedule allowed. "It was really hard on Shannon and her brothers (Brett and Jessie)," Pendleton County Coach Janet Elliott said. "We told her that her family came first, and to take care of her mom and not worry about basketball." There was a memorial service for Pam Lorenz on Saturday.
