No matter what distinction is given to Caroline Rhea, the watchword remains:“funny.”Rhea has appeared on TV in such shows as “Sabrina,The Teenage W itch” and “Hollyw'ood Squares.” Her big-screen credits include roles in films like “Man on the M oon” and “Christmas with the Kranks.” She is also the host of the hugely popular reality show “The Biggest Loser” on (dlS.Rhea will be performing her hilarious brand of comedy this Saturd.iy, Oct. 13 in the intimate Spanos Theatre. Showtime is slated for S p.m.Rhea spoke about performing in smaller venues, such asCall and ask about our Cal Poly Discouiitff!the 500-seat Spanos Theater, in compariscin to larger ones.“Even if it’s 500 people, 1 like when I can see everybody and we can chat,” Rhea said. “1 like the feeling of everybody being included.”She said that a smaller audience offers more of an opportunity for crowd participation.“My show is completely interactive.” Rhea said. “This is my audience and I want to know who they are and what we all have in common.”Rhea spoke about her conversational style of comedy. She said that she often takes advantage of otherwise overlooked opportunities.“ I think that as a female comedian, you get to voice a lot of things that people won't necessarily say, but you know they are thinking,” Rhea said.Her opening act is a comedian by the name of ( AYstaki Economopoulos. Rhea dished out the real scoop on both their working and personal relationship.“Costaki is very funny.” Rhea said. “We’ve been working together for about four years.” After a brief pause, Rhea threw in the inevitable juicy tw ist.“We’re also bosiriend and girlfriend.” she said. As for her favorite male and female comedian, Rhea didn't hesitate to name who topped her list.“For my favorite female comedian. 1 always wanted to be Carol Burnette.” Rhea replied, “and for favorite male comedian. I wanted tobe Johnny Carson.”When asked who had the biggest influence over her comedy style while still an up-and-conier, Rhea gave a surprisingly candid response.“Truly, it’s my mother,” Rhea responded. “My mother is really funny; she's got a great sense of humor and she’s also the smartest person 1 know.”One last hypothetical question was posed to Rhea. When asked if she were to wake up tomorrow morning and was no longer allowed to be a comedienne, she said she’d choose investment banking.“ I had an economics minor in college,” Rhea said, “ so I’d be an investment banker because I like teaching people how to save nuYtiey.”“ I’m completely self-taught and I’m pretty good at it.”Rhea’s comedy career began nearly two decades ago in New York City. Having cut her comedic teeth at New York’s Catch a Rising Star comedy club and advancing to such venues as “Caroline’s Comedy Hour” and “Comic Strip Live,” Rhea’s career has flourished ever since.Lisa Woske. public affairs coordinator for Cal Poly Arts, spoke of Rhea’s upcoming appearance. “She is going to come on stage and give the audience a great show.”Tickets for Caroline Rhea are currently on sale at the Performing Arts Center box office located on Grand Avenue.

Mainly because 1 really don’t feel guilty about the rvpes of se.xually whispers, “C'oine closer / you see me / the face that is used to telling lies” before Torcjuilpleasure 1 get h'om certain t\pes of music. C'lubjams, marathon listenings to old Third Eye Blind C'ampbell kicks in yelling.“Take me to the riot!”albums, Burt'l )addy. 1 low these things alongside most of the hipster bullshit that gives this column The whole album sutlers tfom this sort of lack of subtlety. It’s definitely the type of album thatIts name. I hat being said, 1 really feel insanely guilty about liking the Stars and their new album “In a kinda cjuirky, slightly “indie” sensitive boy puts on when he take's you to his room for a late-nightt )ur Bedroom After the War” as much as 1 do. The Stars definitely come otl as the 1 )iet C!oke of the tryst. In fact, it isTHE album to use for that this year. Arguing that you are into it for any otherBmken Social Scene family. They are to shoegaze music w hat Beet’s (aitlee and Tea is to cotlee (you know, coffee for people who don’t like coflee). In addition, the songs definitely come from the emotional perspective of a lusty 17 year-old girl skipping out fmm her parent’s house to a fi at party. And to be really honest, there’s just not much difference musically between this album and the last Stars album "Set Yourself on Eire.” T he only real diflerence is that the lyrical focus has shitted from the break-up of relationships to bar hookups.Even with that laundry list of reasons why I want to not like this album, I haw listened to it nearly every day since it leaked out to the Internet three months ago. My relationship with this album vety’ strongly echoes the relationship of a middle schooler discovering masturbation tir something alon'g those lines. As much as I feel guilty, I can’t resist listening to this album constantly.My main grapple with this album comes from the fact that my lo\ ing it definitely seems to sav something about me. I )oes it mean I’m really into lusty 17 year-old girls or does it really mean that 1 seriously h.ive that level of emotional maturity? I think the latter is the honest-to-( ¡od truth, 1 he opening of“ The Night Starts I iere”shoots jolts ()f electricity down my spine as .Amy Milan sings“! he night starts here / forget your name, forget your tear” w ith the vocal delivery of a girl set on letting her Eriday night take her on w h.itewr wiki enuitional mllercoaster it chooses and not regretting it in the morning. Or what about the conflict about sexual debaucherx that runs tlmuigh “lake Me to the Riot” when shereason (musical quality, for example) falls somewhere in the realm of arguing that condoms can make really good water balkuYiis. Yes, they can make v\ ater balkxins, but really balloons are just a crapload better for that and condoms definitely have a singular purpose.Many people might not view most of these things as problems. And in truth, 1 think that half of the people I know will really love thivalbum and call it one of their favorites this year and I think the other half will pick up on everything 1 said in this review as a gotnl reason U) hate it. Truthfully, I don’t think either opinion is wmng. But hea‘’s a quick few questions to tell you if you should pick up this album:At any point have you generally acknowledged “('larden State” as “the best movie ever?”Were you really into Weezer, especially the album Binkerton, in high school?I )iil you at any point take a date to a I )eath (?ab for Clutie or Bright Eyes concert?If you answered yes to any of the alxn e tiuestions, you most likely will be a Stars fan. You haw an odd desire to dewlop a stmng and emotional personal connection to music. You maybe should have grown out of it in high school. But then again, who’s to judge?( hulitwi (jilhcrtsoii IS (I joiinhilisiii saiioriUui <) stJiiss (hivitor for K(^I*K, S/.. ^IM. lie's tilso ivinpictelyJiill ofii.^ o n t np o mkcprYou've been poked byThe Mustang DailyAdd to yourCAMPUS EXPRESS CLUB m em bership O ctober 1 - 31, 2007 and you'll be eligible to win one of ten $ 5 0 scholarshipsI f you spend m oney on cam pus, save yourself the hassle of cash and checks by using CAMPUS EXPRESS CLUB.

From this voii to believe that terrorism is the greatest threat to global stability we year’s pledges, which totaled more than S4 billion, the tX il hopes toliave ever faced. Hut as we have seen from numerous studies, individuals give 50 million people access to treatment for diseases and provide B.5liave a better eh.mce of drowninci in their own hathtnhs than dving from million children a chance to go to school.#7a terrorist attac k.Tragically, tlie most pressing world cTialleng- “ es we face today are often the ones least covered m the media and certainly by our o\\ n government. The issues 1 am referring to are gloh.il poverty, health and education. Fvery single day 50,00() people die because they can’t afford food or medicine. Neatly tliree billion people live on less th.m S2 a day and more than 33(1 million children can’t afford to go to secondary sc hool (sadly, most poor countries still c harge a fee to attend scTiool). It is our actions on these issues, not the “war on terror," that will determine global stability for generations to come.Consecjnently 1 can't lielp hut get excited when I hear that innovative programs like the Clinton Clohal Initiative (CC'iI) are mewing ahead of our gewernment on these serious global challenges.For tliose imfamiliar with the CCil, every year since 2n(l4 former Hresident Hill Clinton has gathered heads of state, Nobel I’eaee Prize winners, billionaires and A-list celebrities in New York Cnty. Upon arrival this div’crse and energetic group of people spends the next three d.iys unveiling their personal plans to address the mam problems of global pewerty, education and health.While this probably sounds like another meaningless conference composed of more style than substance, the CX'd is different because it uses stricter rules when evaluating its members, the most fundamental being yon have to show real progress in yonr pledges to get invited back (Cdinton didn’t invite five participants this year). This might not seem like a big deal to yon and me, but by making it a “cool club” for high- powered and highly motivated socialites, the initiative has been able to harness these people’s incredible abilities and achieve real change around the world.According to Clinton spokesman Hen Yarrow, more than 850,000 children under the age of five have received life-saving vaccinations and more than 3.2 million people in the developing world have gained ac-by Patrick MolnarIn addition to direct contributions, C'linton’s initiative is also giving existing organizations a great opportunity to market tliemselves. Probably tlie coolest examples of the (X !l’s promotion abilities happened at last year's event with the Web site Kiva.org. Kiva's goal is to match microloan borrowers (usually seeking less than $50) m areas like Africa, India and tlie Middle East with lenders residing in more industrialized regions.. .think Facebook-meets-eHay but with loans. Immediately after being featured at the CX'd, Kiva’s received thousands of new members and received even more attention by larger media outlets, which served to only broaden their membership.(¡ranted, the CXil is not without its faults; most pressing is the need for more transparency in the fnlfillmeiit of pledges. However, the event is only in its third year and, as Jonathan Alter of Newsweek wrote, "Even if only a fraction of the pledges get fulfilled, CXil is way ahead of the game.’’So what does this all mean? Is the (Xil the panacea for all the world’s largest problems? O f course not; we still need substantive government mandates and international accords that can mobilize millions of people and billions of dollars to combat global poverty, health and education issues.Nevertheless, it’s great to see a group of motivated people determined not to sit still and wait for world governments (especially our inept government) to come to its senses and really address these pressing global matters. By going straight to onr society’s greatest socio-economic leaders, programs like the CXiI can continue to fill the gaps that will always exist between even the most comprehensive government policies and the real changes they have on the ground.PiUricb Xloltiar is Daily.Manmade global wanning? WRONG!The greatest tailure of science in our modern age IS its lack of voice in the global warming debate. For years global warming has been shoved down our throats by green-interest groups, energy companies and A1 (¡ore (yes, he gets his own category).I would venture a guess to say that most people in America believe that global warming IS the fault of mankind, but did you know that there are many scientists out there that disagree with this? More importantly, did you know there are many scientific facts that have surfaced to completely refute the theory of manmade global warming? I would guess that you didn’t because environmentalists have shut down the debate. They have set up a state of fear, a “Green Inquisition,’’ saying that anyone who confronts their religion of global warming is a heretic and must be in the pocket of oil companies.Well. I am going to blow up this theory with something that the greens seem to have forgotten about: facts.I could talk about the inaccuracy of surface-based temperature stations, which doesn’t take into account the urban heat-island effect. I could point out the advance of glaciers that is occurring at the same time as the melting of glaciers. I could also talk about the pathetic Kyoto Treaty, sea levels, the lack of scientific consensus, weak hurricanes, developing countries or that manmade carbon dioxide ((X'>2) makes up U.2H percent of all greenhouse gases.Hut instead 1 will keep it to the biggest^ "The Right Way", by memtms of th« Coilcg« RepuWicans^^Bmyth, which is the key to the manmade theory of global warming.History has shown that C O 2 drives temperature: FALSE!Historically. CO-) has never been the driver of temperature. In fact, there is evidence that the opposite is true. According to a study done by the National Academy of Sciences, the "comparison with the geologic record of climatic variations reveals no obvious correspondence (between C O 2 and climate).’’ In fact, it goes on to show that the three highest peaks of CO'y concentration occurred when the Earth was either partially or completely in a cool era. Therefore, the fundamental basis for the entire theory of manmade global warming is false.Even forgetting this fact, recent history has proved this wrong as well. In fact, from the late HMOs througli the ’7<>s we had a cooling trend. This cooling trend was so severe that scientistswere worried about the next ice age. In fact, even as recently as \^)')2 we thought we had a new ice age on our hands. Newsweek reported that “the advent of a new ice age, scientists say, appears to be guaranteed. The devastation will be astonishing.’’What could be causing the increase in temperature (though scientists debate that fact and whether it is even a bad thing) are the occurrence of natural weather cycles like El Nino and — most interesting to me — variations in the sun. A report done on the relationship between solar irradiance and temperature variations in the Artie, undertaken by Willie Soon, astrophysicist with the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, showed that “temperature patterns show a strong correlation to the energN' output o f the sun.’’Now I’m not scientist, but if solar irradiance is correlated to temperature and we have no etfect on the sun. then I’m prettx’ sure it’s the sun running the show. When you think about it, that giant ball of fire has been the cause of weather on our planet for the past 4.5 billion years, so it’s really not that surprising.There, now you have been educated. Next time someone tries to preach their global warming message to you, try not to punch them in the face, especially if it’s your professor.Taylor Scott is a hnsiuess senior, a nieinber of the ('al Poly (\dle\^e Refuihlieans and a ronserratirr •coinninist for tin .Miistaiiy Daily.Wednesday, October K), 2007w w w .n iu s tan g d a ily .n e tMusiANt; D ai iyO pinion21L D i r o U l A LA small brush fire?Around 1 1 a.in. on Tuesday, tirefigluers rushed to the scene of a fire on a Cal Poly hill. Those who han^ around San Luis Obispo in the summer might not think this is anything unusual, since fires aren’t that uncommon on the Cal l*oly hills. In the second week of summer school, the use of illegal fireworks set the hill of the Poly “P” aflame, though the fire remained only in that area.But Tuesday’s fire blew too close to home. It rapidly spread from the hill behind the equine center to another hill and then to yet another hill — the last one being directly adjacent to Poly Canyon Village.It was only at about 12:30 p.m. that the university sent any type • of warning out to the students. University Housing notified all on- campus residents that “a small brush fire” was on campus. This small brush fire was more like tall flames that stopped students walking in their tracks. This “small brush fire” could be seen from most places on campus and if people weren’t gawking at the flames, they certainly noticed the large billows of smoke. Cal Poly students all over campus documented the scene with their cell phones and cameras (check out nuistangdaily.net to see our reader-submitted photos) and informed their friends of what took place on campus.' In short, this did not appear to be any “small brush fire.” And students (only on-campus ones, mind you) were not informed until about an hour and a half after it started.They were told to contact a residence hall staft' member should they have questions, but how much more would an R.A. know about the situation than any other student?Think of the students who didn’t have a computer in Cerro Vista, 1 or the students on campus who weren’t sent an e-mail - they would be clueless. After all, nearly 4,000 students live on campus; what about the 14,-SOO of us who don’t?Not much later at 1:20 p.in. when the flames are still on the move.University Housing sent out another e-mail to these select students, which didn’t tell them much more than what they already knew.These students were told the University Housing staff was monitoring the situation (what the hell does that mean?) before the five-line e-mail ended with “please be mindful of your health and safety.”It’s almost a little too reminiscent of the e-mail sent to students at Virginia Tech (an e-mail that was sent two hours after the first shooting) that ended with a simple “be cautious.” (iranted, a fire and a shooting are two very different things, but the way in which our university went about informing students of the matter at hand really was not much more responsible.The final e-mail students received came at 3:1.5 p.m. - almost two hours since the last update. The fire, though not as powerful as before, was still present, but this last e-mail also told students nothing new and yet again, contained vague information. Not only that, but in order to find information, they were told to call 756-NEWS, which told them which roads anci parking lots were closed. How' does this affect students living on campus already??So many questions can be drawn from this incident. Why was it University Housing who took responsibility for sending these e-mails? Why were only on-campus residents informed? Are there not hundreds, if not thousands, of students who park on campus every day? Students who park in the H-12, H-14 or H-16 parking lots were just as at risk to have their property destroyed as residents in the Cerro Vista apartments. How hard is it for the University Police Department or the ('Ift'ice of Student Affairs to notify ALL students of the situation at hand?Instead, many students were left in the dark as a giant mushroom cloud hovered above. But after all, it was just “a small brush fire.”STAFF C O M M E N T A R YMr. Ffesideni^ u/^V6*received u/orj fhai fhc /.

DAILYWith all o f the massive toy recalls in the past few months as well as the Cub Scout badge recall due to lead paint on Thursday, one may begin to wonder when American companies are going to learn from their mistakes.KSAT of San Antonio, Texas reported that several big-name companies have recalled hundreds of thousands of toys that contain lead paint and could be hazardous to children.All of the pulled toys were made in China.Arc you shocked? Neither was I,Last week, RC2 Corp., the maker of “Thomas A Friends” toys, actually recalled “bonus gifts” sent to customers who returned some of the famous train toys after the com-pany issued a first recall in June.The bonus gifts were sent so customers would stay loyal, but this backfired when RC2 issued its second lead paint warning since June.Where do yt>u think the smiling trains were manufactured? If you guessed China, pat yourself on the back because you’re right.In the company’s defense, merchandise made in China is much cheaper than products made in the United States.We may love the price of inexpensive toys, high-end water bottles and Cub Scout badges (all of which have been recalled in one form or another by the Consumer Product Safety Commission).But do low prices outweigh the costs? Small children can suffer brain damage or worse by ingesting even small amounts of lead; large doses can kill.1 don’t have children, but I can sympathize with those who do. Luckily, the Consumer Product Safety Commission is holding companies accountable for the products they release.Let’s face it, Chinese factories do not produce quality products.They do not meet U.S. standards and American companies and consumers need to realize this.Companies save a few bucks in production but can lose millions after a product is recalled.The issue shouldn’t even be about the money, but unfortunately, that’s w’hat companies care about - the bottom line.Some families are throwing away all RC2 toys and severing all ties with the company in hopes that it will do the same with China.Maybe they’re on to something.llliitn cY D ia z is a journalism senior and a reporter Jor the Miistanjii Daily.LETTERS■|0 [M BLÜITOKResponse to column only perpetuates stereotypeMs. Rogers, you are in need of a wake-up call.The tact that you consider si.\ men beating a single man unconscious “a racially charged fight” is frightening.That’s a fight?

I certainly don’t look at any of my African-American peers and think that they are “thugs, punks, criminals or goons.” It seems that you might, though, since you are writing in and perpetuating this so-called stereotype against black men.When Ms. Gilmore used these terms, she was using them to describe six men who did act like “thugs, punks, criminals, and goons.” Since one of them does have a very serious and extensive criminal record, I guess that behavior was nothing new for him. Obviously you are already well-versed in what is “in accordance with the law.”That being the case, I sincerely hope that you don’t mean to imply that a previously violent criminal record held by any man does not matter.Christina ChiappeSocial sciences seniorFree speech for the shooting rangeLord Almighty, of course the shooting range has the right to advertise like any other business. And you have the God-given right to own as many guns as you want and go shooting with your family.

And now 1 give up with a lesson learned.I can’t explain to you why the ad shouldn’t be in here if you can’t see it.
