So far, so sexist. But what distinguishes this particular competition is that all the women taking part are students at some of London's best universities. Last week, for instance, Lile He, a politics and economics student, was named Miss School of Oriental and African Studies (Soas), at a pageant staged at a nightclub. And at the final in February she will compete against female students from five other universities - including the London School of Economics, King's College and University College London. /ppAround 400 students have entered the competition; some were "spotted" at nightclubs and encouraged to apply, while others filled out an online application form, giving information about their age and height, and answering searching questions such as "Which Sex and the City character would you most relate to?" The winner will receive prizes from the event's sponsors, which include the cosmetics company Clinique and a jewellery firm. /ppWhile some women have clearly embraced the pageant concept with open arms, the contest is a source of consternation and protest for others. At the "Miss Soas" event there was a rally, with around 40 students carrying banners and signs, and shouting slogans such as "Soas is for education, not for your ejaculation!" Eleanor James, women's officer at the Soas Student Union, helped to organise the protest and says that she sees the beauty contest "as part of the backlash against the fragile gains that feminism has won. I think it's really sad this is happening, but it doesn't surprise me because, at the moment in universities, you find pole dancing societies; because of top-up fees, there are students who work in lap-dancing clubs. So having a beauty pageant is a natural progression."/ppThe Miss University London contest was started in 2006 by Christian Emile. A former student at LSE, Emile was organising student events for nightclubs when a friend from Italy - where beauty pageants are relatively common - suggested they try to launch one here. Emile's company, 121 Entertainment, br /organises other events for nightclubs, including the supply of belly dancers. He describes the university beauty pageant as "a bit of fun" and says that, contrary to some reports, the women involved have not been asked to give waist and breast measurements. "I can understand the apprehension, but it's due largely to a misconception of the event," he says. "We don't have a bikini contest, the girls wear evening dresses of their own choosing and there are a series of questions to demonstrate their personality and charisma." But the competition is, basically, about their physical appearance? "Yes, I'm not denying that. But I want to emphasise that a lot of it has to do with personality." Fair enough, although it's arguable how much you can deduce by asking questions such as "What three items would you take to a desert island?"./pp"I don't think it objectifies women," he says. "If you talk to any of the contestants, they will tell you it is actually empowering. They get their moment in the spotlight, it's a bit of fun." Keelin Gavaghan, an accountancy undergraduate who was named as Miss London School of Economics at that university's heat last month, has said that she fails "to see what is wrong with feeling glamorous for one night. We hardly sold our souls. Nowadays I believe that we are post-feminism." /ppLooking into the set-up of the event - the venues where it is held, the audiences it attracts - I started to wonder just who it is aimed at. Most of the preliminary rounds are being held at the Crystal Club in London, which markets itself as an exclusive venue that has "hosted some of the world's most celebrated elite society". There is a pound;15 fee to get in, with tables then costing up to pound;1,000. To have a bottle of vodka or champagne delivered to your table costs at least pound;150, while drinks at the bar average around pound;8. It seems very expensive for students. "You do get students who can afford that," says Emile. "If you want to come and have a drink at the bar, that's fine. But if you want a pound;1,000 table, that's also fine." The tickets are available by guestlist and Emile admits that the contest isn't only open to a student audience. According to some reports, around a third of the 300 people at one event were not students, but older men. Emile disagrees, saying about "five non-students go to the events", including, he says, a professional footballer or two, "though I can't say who". At last year's pageant, the London Student newspaper approached the Arsenal striker Nicklas Bendtner, who told a reporter, "I came here for the pretty girls." Much has been made of the idea that the contest benefits the charity Cancer Research, but Emile says that while his company "tries" to give 20% of the event's profits to them, "it depends on how much we make"./ppMiss University London isn't the only beauty pageant for students. Earlier this year, a beauty contest called Miss Student Body was launched in Edinburgh, with contestants from five colleges in the city. It was forced to close when the organisers ran out of money. /ppEmile plans to launch his beauty contests in university cities around the country over the next few years, and there is already a popular national competition, Miss Student UK, which advertises at freshers' fairs and in nightclubs popular among students: the first prize is pound;10,000. The website for Miss Student UK includes pictures and videos uploaded by women, in which they are often wearing nothing more than a bikini or underwear, or are dressed as Playboy bunnies. In 2006, Loughborough University student union hosted the FHM "High Street Honeys Tour", where female students were "spotted" to appear in shoots for the men's magazine. Loughborough has also held a "Playboy mansion party" with performances from pole dancers. York University has a pole dancing club, and other universities, including Warwick and Bath, have sold calendars of female students posing in their underwear./ppAll of this may be indicative of a new sexism in student life. But many women are fighting back. Katie Curtis, the National Union of Students' women's officer, says that "it is unacceptable for events which objectify women to take place in our educational institutions. Universities should be about expanding people's minds, not judging them on their appearance." /ppRuby Buckley, women's officer at LSE, and part of the group that has been protesting against these events, agrees. I ask her why she thinks educated young women are choosing to get involved in a contest that seems, at best, like a sad throwback to a more sexist age. She says some of the contestants are finding ways to justify taking part "but it's an illusion, a con from society telling women that this is emancipation. I think what summed it up for me was when one contestant was asked, 'Would you rather have brains or beauty?' and she said beauty, because if she wasn't beautiful, nobody would want to listen to her anyway. This isn't fulfilling, to be ogled at and judged and it's such a shame that these are educated women, who could be the future leaders of the world, who are not standing up and questioning what they are doing. They are worth more than this competition and they need to realise that."/pdiv style="float: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;"ullia href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/education/students"Students/a/lilia href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/gender"Gender/a/lilia href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/women"Women/a/li/ul/diva href="http://www.guardian.co.uk"guardian.co.uk/a copy; Guardian News Media Limited 2008 | Use of this content is subject to our a href="http://users.guardian.co.uk/help/article/0,,933909,00.html"Terms Conditions/a | a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/webfeeds/1,,1309488,00.html"More Feeds/a pa href="http://feedads.googleadservices.com/~at/v4-bKfr1w2w2jsWlE7yx_lJG5Ac/a"img src="http://feedads.googleadservices.com/~at/v4-bKfr1w2w2jsWlE7yx_lJG5Ac/i" border="0" ismap="true"/img/a/p

But datacenter pods don#39;t have to be built within actual containers. The distinguishing features are that zones are built with different densities, reducing initial costs, and each pod or zone is self-contained with its own power feeds and cooling, Claunch says./pp page="1" class="ArticleBody"Cooling costs are minimized because chillers are closer to heat sources; and there is additional flexibility because a pod can be upgraded or repaired without necessitating downtime in other zones, Claunch said.

Like virtualization technology, this computing fabric of the future will make hardware more adaptable to changing needs./pp page="1" class="ArticleBody"IT shops will be able to create machines of whatever size they need, and shift resources around as often as necessary, Claunch said. In addition, instead of relying on vendors to decide what proportion of memory, processing and I/O connections are on each blade, enterprises will be able to buy whatever resources they need in any amount, a far more efficient approach./pp page="2" class="ArticleBody"While rack servers are self-contained units, today#39;s blade approach allows a combination of some components, Gartner notes. ( a href="http://www.networkworld.com/buyersguides/guide.php?cat=881344"Compare/a blade servers.) I/O cards don#39;t have to be included in each blade because they are accessed over a shared fabric. Memory and processors are still fixed parts of each blade, however, limiting flexibility. If extra memory is needed, you may have to buy another blade instead of just accessing the memory of another one, Claunch said./pp page="2" class="ArticleBody"quot;The next step in this progression is the introduction of technology to allow several blades to be merged operationally over the fabric, operating as a larger, single system image that is the sum of the components from those blades,quot; a Gartner PowerPoint presentation states. quot;The fabric-based server of the future will treat memory, processors and I/O cards as components in a pool, combining and recombining them into particular arrangements to suit the owner#39;s needs.quot;/pp page="2" class="ArticleBody"For example, an IT shop could combine 32 processors and any number of memory modules to create one large server that appears to an operating system as a single, fixed computing unit. This approach also will increase utilization rates by reducing the resources wasted because blade servers aren#39;t configured optimally for the applications they serve. quot;This evolution will simplify the provisioning of capacity to meet growing needs,quot; Gartner states./pp page="2" class="ArticleBody"ema target="_blank" href="http://www.networkworld.com"Network World/a/em emis an InfoWorld affiliate/em/p/divbr style=clear: both;/ a href=http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?s=df71c541163ff94462c983fa91abb9c5p=1img alt= style=border: 0; border=0 src=http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?s=df71c541163ff94462c983fa91abb9c5p=1//a img src=http://www.pheedo.com/feeds/tracker.php?i=df71c541163ff94462c983fa91abb9c5 style=display: none; border=0 height=1 width=1 alt=/

Les trois quarts des salariés du privé ont boudé les élections prud'homales de mercredi, marquée par une abstention record de 74,5% et par la progression de la CGT, qui renforce sa première place aux dépens de la CFDT, en recul sensible, et de Force Ouvrière.
