Judge this: Simon Cowell impregnated his good friend's wife ... and she's already nearly 3 months along ... this according to reports.
Us Weekly broke the story, reporting Cowell is expecting a child with New York socialite Lauren Silverman, the estranged wife of Cowell's close friend Andrew Silverman, a real estate mogul.
36-year-old Lauren and her husband have been in the middle of a divorce for a while ... but still haven't severed the cord.
Lauren is reportedly 10 weeks pregnant. FYI, Simon is 53 and this would be his first child.
Lauren's got talent too ... she's pretty damn hot. And it's safe to say Simon has a type. Just check out his recent exes, Mezhgan Hussainy and Terri Seymour.
I am appalled.
Well somebody's hit the jackpot... 18 years of child support from Simon... cha-ching!!!
I just hope he mans up and is a good Dad...
i think this story is made up ---source Us Weekly , No saying a source of simon or Lauren said or any evidence besides a guess she is 10 weeks pregnant which technically most woman dont show at that stage , just a way to sell some crappy magazines
Oh my
Crafty word play in the headliner.
On the plus side, Simon could take turns breastfeeding the baby.
notice how all the women look alike.
That's really low, Simon.
Fantastic headline!
All Simon's women look alike. I wouldn't be flattered if I were them. Obviously one is just like another. She isn't divorced. She is still very married. No telling how long the divorce will take, what complications will come up to prevent its finalization. Cheap and tawdry for both of them.
How could they even think of having a good relationship come out of all this treachery. Both her and Simon are sleazy, slimy people. Especially him for betraying a friend and the woman is the epitome of a whore. I feel sorry for the soon to be x husband. All the women pictured with him aren't even good looking they all have horse faces.
What a shame even your day one friend will f**k u over damn its like no one can be trusted..smdh...
Look, don't you think Simon is gay and all this stuff is a beard? He will do anything to try to appear like he is a straight guy. PLEASE
Simon should snip it

Collaboration: an exhibit by members of ArtistsConnect of Edmonds
The Edmonds Arts Festival Foundation and the Edmonds Arts Commission are presenting "Collaboration: an exhibit by members of ArtistsConnect of Edmonds" at the Frances Anderson Center.
Creativity can be enhanced by a number of factors. Collaboration is one. Viewed as a strong influence on innovation, companies such as Apple and Google created workspaces that foster cross-pollination and collaboration.
Artists often work in isolation. In doing so, it is easy to stay within comfortable habits and practices that are familiar. Through a desire to explore and innovate, a group of artists decided to form pairs and teams to create a single piece of collaborative art. Thus the Collaboration exhibit was born.
The Collaboration Project emerged from ArtistsConnect, a group of Edmonds-area artists that receives support from the Edmonds Art Festival Foundation and ArtWorks.
The exhibit will showcase the collaborative pieces of 19 artists. Artists worked in pairs or trios to create both two- and three-dimensional works. Many will add an individual piece to the show, so the viewer can compare the artist's usual style with what emerged from the collaboration.
The Collaboration Project encouraged the artist teams to try something new.
From a large three-panel screen made from painted doors and iron to a small ceramic and fiber statuette, the scale of work varied.
Artists who typically worked in two dimensions, created three-dimensional pieces.
For example, a glass artist paired with a photographer created an under-seascape. A team who shared an art trip to Paris collaged images onto fabric and designed a skirt as homage to Paris fashion.
Those who worked with more traditional media wrestled with how to combine them both technically and aesthetically. All reported stretching in some way.
The EAFF Gallery is in the Frances Anderson Center, Main Entrance, 700 Main St., Edmonds. Gallery Hours: Mon. – Fri. 9 to 7, Sat. – 10 to 1. For information call 425-771-0228 or 425-771-1984.

Cranky Man Complains: Poorly Positioned Trash Containers
Garbage collectors of Oak Park, is there anything we can do about this?
Recently, after carrying a bunch of carry-out containers full of half-eaten food* to the garbage can, I marveled at the astounding lack of care demonstrated in the poorly positioned trash containers strewn about our alley.
Why in tarnation can't our garbage collectors position trash container handles toward the alley so that homeowners can easily lift the lids (which would then be positioned toward the homes) to deposit garbage and recycling?
Land o' Goshen, it makes sense for garbage collectors to position the handles outward so that it's easier for them to pick up and drop off cans!
Why, if not for plain mean-spiritedness, do they insist upon turning the handles inward, making it necessary for us, the weary men of the world (and it's mostly men who take out the trash), to either step into alley traffic to open the lid and deposit our loads or flip the lid awkwardly toward us before swinging in the bag?
Is it so hard to be thoughtful? This is a big deal, dagnabbit!

The worse thing about the garbage bin is the 20 or so bags of dog s#%t, some of which has leaked out of the bag. Absolutely worse thing is the couple of bags of dog s#%t in the recycle bin. Wouldn't be so bad if I owned a dog or cat. Also I thought we were supposed to not bag our recycleables. Am I wrong?

Tell it, Eileen. I marvel at the families that, on a weekly basis, overload their recycling bins, refuse to break down boxes & cardboard, and don't use any sort of bags for the recyclables. The spirit of entitlement is strong in my alley. We have the requisite family that does this. They're too busy and important, with no care if their garbage blows all over the damn neighborhood. You should have seen the display they put on after Christmas. It was embarrassing and pathetic.

I have no issue with the bin people, I have a big issue with the neighbors who leave their bins in the allery all the time, makng it difficult to get in and out of my parking area. And I have an even bigger issue with the people who overload their bins every week and then their garbage blows all over the alley and my yard and they never pick it up. AND they put garbage in the recycling, now I am getting cranky

To be fair, I don't expect everything to be lined up at a perfect 90% angle every time, but it would be nice not to have to drive through an obstacle course every week. It looks like your blue lid had a price on it's head, and is probably swimming with the fishes.
Alley dude
Posted: February 21st, 2013 2:22 PM
David, your alley of bins look relatively organized compared to mine, lol. I'm guessing you don't live on the east side of the village? But I share your frustration. Sometimes I come out after trash collection day, and you'd be hard pressed to know who's bins actually belong to who. Sometimes my bins are closer to the garage next door. Sometimes in the middle of the alley There is no incentive for our bin men to put them back where they found them, so why would they?

Wilcox advised, "You need to create awareness about entrepreneurship." Sometimes the political, financial or social power structure can block a budding entrepreneur.
In order for one-person businesses to bloom, "you need to have tangible support." Leaders must guide them and offer "timely and appropriate data. They need to make good decisions." Wilcox noted that while entrepreneurs can be passionate about their ideas, some will discover their products already have been patented or there is no desire for them.
Blayr Barnard, Southeast Indiana Small Business Development Center director, said, "If they haven't done their homework and there's no market for their product, ... they are going to fail miserably."
Pointing at Barnard and David Osborne, Purdue University Cooperative Extension Service Ripley County director, the speaker said, "One of the best services these two people provide is to say no to people." When presented with a weak proposal, "saying no might save that person $20,000."
The Purdue speakers imagine a regional entrepreneurial system here that will allow new business owners "to collaborate rather than operate independently or in isolation." Wilcox asked, "Does your community have a go-to person or places for entrepreneurs?"
According to him, "The chamber (of commerce) can play a role in this. Sometimes entrepreneurs shy away because it's formal," and they really like informal gatherings. He suggested it could be best for another entity, even a church, to provide the venue and invite, but then let entrepreneurs chat.
One smart idea is to connect entrepreneurs to local lenders. An extension educator offered an eight-week small business program using local experts so owners could ask questions of them later.
The speakers listed four agencies that can help create a regional entrepreneurial system: the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Rural Development, Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs and the Indiana Small Business Development Center.

On July 1st Virginia required all municipalities to enforce permits to sell scrap metal.
The law came with little notice and has left many towns and cities scrambling to figure out ways to enforce it.
As of right now, Roanoke has not enforced the new rule.
On September 10th the County Board of Supervisors will hold a public hearing on the new law and how the community thinks Roanoke should enforce it.

Direct Email: email@example.com
For project related matters (including mistranslations/TLC), it's best to contact me via my talk page or the project talk page.
My translations are far from perfect due to a variety of reasons:
- an occasional sentence I can't understand well
- I don't have the most inspired English at the point in time
- quick and dirty looser translation because I'm interleaving my work between serious stuff
- genuine typos
- rush-jobs because I just want to get it done with (happens when I'm pissed with author or RL stuff)
Highlighting my mistakes is much appreciated with the following exceptions:
- If you understand Japanese, do NOT bother to highlight a (liberalization/poorly worded translation/or what appears to be a mistranslation but might just be a liberalized or loose translation) if you are unable to provide an alternative.
- If you are nitpicking and come with a condescending tone, you better make sure you have at least translated a volume of text perfectly free from errors.
Otherwise feel free to highlight something if it feels strange/inconsistent and you suspect an error even if you don't understand Japanese. I cannot guarantee that I have time to check it but I'll try.
Other than that, for emailing, the following kinds of emails will be entertained:
- any mails from staff and friends (BT, AS, or scantalation groups) (you'd have to name yourself in case I can't identify you from your email)
- intent to join projects I'm working on as translators or dedicated editors (with exceptions listed below)
'Thank-you' mails are much appreciated but will not be replied to.
The following kinds of emails will be not be entertained (senders of bolded types of emails may be blocked WEF 18-Aug-2014):
- asking me to write fanletters or ask questions to authors
- asking how long it takes to translate a chapter
- asking when the next chapter will be released
- asking how to get hold of RAWs
- asking to join Mahouka project (I don't think we need any more staff for MKNR but if you want to, please direct such questions to active staff as we have a ton of them and you'd have to see whether they have room for you) (however, you can hop on as an official TLCer if you are very good in Japanese and have a wealth of translation experience and able to provide alternative translations)

- 1/4 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 1 bunch Swiss chard (about 10 ounces), stems and center ribs cut away, leaves coarsely chopped
- 2 ounces thinly sliced Italian Genoa salami, cut into 1/2-inch pieces (about 2/3 cup)
- 1 garlic clove, minced
PREPARATIONView Step-by-Step Directions
Preheat broiler. Whisk all the eggs, 1 1/2 tablespoons cheese, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in large bowl.
Heat olive oil in medium nonstick broilerproof skillet over medium heat. Add onion and sauté until tender but not brown, about 6 minutes. Add Swiss chard in 3 batches; toss until each begins to wilt before adding next. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Sauté until any liquid in skillet evaporates. Increase heat to mediumhigh; add salami and garlic to skillet and stir 1 minute. Add eggs to skillet; stir to distribute evenly. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook until eggs are almost set but still moist in center, about 4 minutes. Sprinkle remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons cheese over top.
Transfer frittata to broiler and cook just until set in center and beginning to brown, about 1 minute. Using flexible spatula, loosen frittata around edges. Slide frittata out onto platter. Serve warm or at room temperature.

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — The Minnesota Wild will be without captain Mikko Koivu for the next month.
The Wild placed Koivu and goalie Josh Harding on injured reserve Monday, when their first-line center and leading scorer with 35 points in 44 games underwent surgery to repair a broken ankle. Koivu was hit by a puck Saturday against Washington. The Wild said the operation went as planned and Koivu was expected to be fully recovered and playing again in approximately four weeks.

Pension-Plan Paradox
~~A Commentary by Maureen Bader
Wyoming Liberty Group~~
Beneficiaries of Wyoming's state pension plans received big promises from politicians who don't seem to have put much thought into how to pay for those promises. With state pension liabilities still rising, Wyoming's legislature is looking at another tweak to the state's pension plans. Without substantial reform, however, another quick fix is likely to leave both pensioners and taxpayers at risk.

Maleficent reviewed, plus our favorite Disney villainesses
Angelina Jolie fits the part perfectly, but the movie lets her down
Wed May 28 2014
CommentsAdd +
Tweenage princess obsessives will find much to love about Disney's rethink of its iconic bad girl, but are we alone in thinking this fantasy could have been a lot meaner? When Ridley Scott's gawd-awful Legend comes to mind, you know that's a sign of caution. Our review is here; hate-watchers, tide yourselves over with our definitive list of the eight most vile Disney villainesses.
Read our review of Maleficent
- Rated as: 3/5
Sometimes a piece of perfect casting goes a long way: Angelina Jolie only has to cock one mildly perturbed, ruthlessly arched eyebrow to upstage all the fairy dust swirling around her in Disney's uneven rethink of its classic villainess.
The eight most vile Disney villainesses
"He didn't trust women or cats." So said one of Walt Disney's chief animators of his boss. Not convinced? Take a look at these outrageously evil womenfolk.

Emergent Arts Theatre to Present AN EVENING WITH POEZ AND ROLLIE TUSSING, 5/13
Emergent Arts Theatre presents New York-based poet-performer POEZ, with local folk treasure Rollie Tussing May 13, 2014, 8 PM, at the Mix Studio Theater, 8 N. Washington Street, Ypsilanti, Michigan.
"My audience is people who want to hear poetry that actually says something - and says it out loud." Paul L. Mills, author of Bowery Poetry Books' "The Poetry Dollars", took the name POEZ and came to New York to perform in the street in 1977 in protest against what he considered the pretentious drivel to be found in the poetry press. Soon he was gathering crowds, and booking shows, in clubs, theatres, on radio and television, in New York, Paris, London. At that time no one was performing poetry. Five years later, everyone was.
Rollie Tussing will play and sing his special brand of jazz/folk/blues he calls "raggedy-folk", or "jug-band jazz".
Formerly a purveyor of fine jungle tonics and elixirs, Rollie Tussing currently lives in a bramble covered snow globe. Sometimes he plays his brand of raggedy-folk music to an audience of polite spiders. He thought himself a jazz musician, but all the jazz cats called the raggedy sounds emanating from his various home-made instruments "bluegrass". All the bluegrass pickers called it "blues" and all the blues guys called it "jazz". Maybe he'll call it raggedy- folk music heavily influenced by the un-popular music of the 78rpm era, or just "jug-band jazz".
Don't miss this special event!
Admission is $20. Bring receipt from Haab's Restaurant for day of show and receive a $4 discount or rebate. Tickets are available online at www.emergentarts.com or by calling (734) 985-0875 for pay-at-the-door reservations.

So much for the "sophomore slump" , as Atlanta Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman has won the National League Player of the Week award for the period of April 16-22. Freeman, considered one of the best young players in the league, had one of his best weeks ever as a major leaguer.
Freeman hit .478 and led the league with 14 runs batted in on the week, as well as hitting three home runs to tie him for first in the league in that category. All of this done against some well respected pitchers from the Milwaukee Brewers and Arizona Diamondbacks.
The Braves swept Milwaukee at home, and then went on to Arizona to take three out of four games from the Diamondbacks. The second-year first baseman played a huge role in the Braves' 5-1 record during the week, recording five multi-RBI games, including batting in a career-high five runs on April 19, to help him earn the first weekly award of his major league career. This is the first week since the 2012 season began that they weekly award did not go to the Los Angeles Dodgers' Matt Kemp.
[blackbirdpie url="https://twitter.com/#!/RealMattlanta/status/193546125909835776"]
In 2011 Freeman batted .282, with 21 home runs and 76 RBI, and finished a close second to teammate Craig Kimbrel in the Rookie of the Year voting. His start to the 2012 season has the Braves feeling very good about the future at first base for a number of years to come.
Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Cliff Lee, San Francisco Giants pitcher Matt Cain and Dodgers left fielder Matt Kemp were all among the other players mentioned by MLB as having been considered for this week's award.

Vancouver, BC (Sports Network) - Andrew Ebbett and Jannik Hansen each posted a goal and two assists as the Vancouver Canucks took a 7-4 victory over the Nashville Predators on Thursday.
Henrik Sedin, Maxim Lapierre, Mason Raymond and Alexander Edler each had a goal and an assist while David Booth added a goal for the Canucks, who have won two straight following a slide that saw the team lose six of seven. Roberto Luongo gave up four goals on 33 shots.
"It was good to capitalize on our chances and shut the door when we did," Booth said.
Matt Halischuk had a goal and an assist while Mike Fisher, Nick Spaling and Gabriel Bourque each scored for the Predators, who have lost five of their last seven.
Pekka Rinne was pulled early in the second period after allowing four goals on just 12 shots while Chris Mason stopped 7-of-9 shots in relief.
Vancouver held a 5-2 lead going into the third period, but Nashville cut that deficit to two at the 6:38 mark when a scrum behind the right of the net saw the puck come out front and Fisher backhand it in.
The Preds made it a one-goal game with 4:19 to play as another play behind the net resulted in the puck coming out front where Bourque lifted a backhand past Luongo.
Sedin, though, was awarded a penalty shot when he was slashed by Sergei Kostitsyn and he took advantage of the chance by faking back to the forehand and putting it in with 2:34 to play for a 6-4 lead.
"He did a pretty good fake and I didn't expect that from him," Mason said.
Booth iced the game with an empty-netter with 1:37 left in the contest.
Ebbett got Vancouver on the board just 1:25 in with his first goal of the year, but Halischuk answered less than three minutes later with his first of the campaign.
It was a 2-1 lead for the Canucks on Edler's fifth of the season at the 5:20 mark and Raymond finished off a 3-on-2 with a one-timer from the right circle with 1:53 to play in the first for a 3-1 advantage.
The Canucks made it a 4-1 game as Dale Weise hit Lapierre, coming out of the penalty box, with a lead pass and he buried it for his second of the year at the 5:32 mark of the second.
Nashville got one back just 29 seconds later as Spaling's pass from the left side hit off the skate of Kevin Bieksa and snuck in, but Hansen scored with 6:12 to play in the second when his shot down low snuck in after Mason made the save, as the puck was pushed into the net when a Predator slid into his goaltender.
Vancouver hosts Detroit on Saturday ... Nashville plays in Calgary on Friday
... The Canucks have won both matchups with the Predators this season ...
Neither team scored on the power play as Nashville had four chances and
Vancouver two.
Texas starting quarterback David Ash will not play in Saturday's game against BYU after sustaining a concussion in last weekend's season opener.
The series will run its 14th race of the season on Sunday at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park. This will be the second time the series competes in Canada. One year ago, Chase Elliott won the inaugural truck race at this 2.459-mile, 10-turn road course. Wallace finished fourth.
The Houston Texans and defensive end J.J. Watt have reportedly reached an agreement on a long-term contract extension.
The Kansas City Royals will get their first baseman back for the season's stretch run, as the club reinstated Eric Hosmer from the 15-day disabled list as rosters expanded on Monday.
Kenneth Faried scored 22 points on 11- of-14 shooting and the United States pulled away down the stretch for a 98-77 win over Turkey on Day 2 of the 2014 FIBA World Cup.
The Edmonton Oilers and defenseman Justin Schultz have agreed to a one-year contract.

This study received financial support from the "Live a Healthy and Long Life" program of the Dutch Diabetes Research Foundation, the Dutch Heart Foundation, and the Dutch Kidney Foundation.
The authors declare no conflicts of interest.
Objective: Investigate workers' knowledge and beliefs about cardiometabolic risk.
Methods: A survey on the risks of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and chronic kidney disease was disseminated among Dutch construction workers and employees from the general working population.
Results: We had 482 respondents (26.8%) among construction workers and 738 respondents (65.1%) among the general working population. Employees showed reasonable basic knowledge, especially about cardiovascular disease risk factors and risk reduction. Nevertheless, they also had knowledge gaps (eg, specific dietary intake) and showed misconceptions of what elevated risk entails. Employees having lower education, being male, and having lower health literacy demonstrated less adequate knowledge and beliefs.
Conclusion: To improve the potential effect of health risk assessments in the occupational setting, physicians should explain what it means to be at elevated cardiometabolic risk and target their messages to employee subgroups.
The cardiometabolic diseases diabetes, cardiovascular disease (CVD), and chronic kidney disease are a major health problem worldwide.1 These diseases have common lifestyle-related risk factors2,3 and a lot can be done to reduce cardiometabolic risk, the most important strategies being smoking cessation, becoming more physically active, and adopting a healthy diet.4–7 Nevertheless, to accomplish such lifestyle changes, public awareness and knowledge seem required, because accurate risk knowledge and beliefs are a precondition for several cognitions influencing risk-reducing behavior.8–12
In primary care as well as occupational health services, health risk assessments are increasingly applied to determine people's health risks.13,14 Disease risk prediction models are used to calculate people's risk, to educate them about their risk, and to motivate those at elevated risk to modify their lifestyle. Especially in occupational health care, it is feasible to reach large numbers of (relatively healthy) people with different lifestyle and socioeconomic status.15 Other advantages of the occupational setting are that companies are usually able to offer lifestyle interventions to large populations and that they also have an interest in such initiatives (ie, healthy workers and less sick leave). Despite an increase in such strategies, many people in industrialized countries such as the Netherlands continue to smoke, eat unhealthily, and display sedentary behavior.16–18
Effective health education and especially supporting people in acquiring a correct risk understanding has proved to be difficult.19–21 It may be that the epidemiological approach typically endorsed is not the most effective way to get the message across to employees. In this respect, it seems that employees' own perspective could be more explicitly taken into account in risk education.22 Furthermore, for well-targeted messages, it is important to identify differences in knowledge and beliefs between employee subgroups. People from lower socioeconomic status backgrounds will probably have less correct knowledge and beliefs, because of a cycle of scant formal education, inadequate reading and arithmetic skills, and poor conceptual health knowledge and vocabulary. In addition, the general culture toward health promotion might differ between companies and branches of industry (eg, the construction industry vs the financial sector), which could be related to employees' knowledge and beliefs. If branch of industry, sociodemographic, or other individual characteristics indeed have a profound effect on specific knowledge and beliefs, this could provide clinicians with suggestions for well-targeted risk education. Although several studies investigated people's knowledge and beliefs about diabetes and CVD8,23–29 this research has tended to focus on individual diseases, rather than on disease risk as a consequence of unhealthy lifestyle. Because more and more emphasis is placed on the shared risk factors of cardiometabolic diseases as well as the interplay of detrimental physiological processes,30 it is important to assess how workers themselves think about cardiometabolic risk.
To achieve better results from cardiometabolic health risk assessments in the occupational setting, we conducted this study, in which the knowledge and beliefs regarding cardiometabolic risk were examined in different Dutch employee subgroups. In addition, we compared employees from the construction industry with employees from the general working population, to be able to look at differences between branches of industry. By investigating potential knowledge gaps and misconceptions, we looked for focal points for better and well-targeted risk education by occupational physicians.
We used a survey on the risks of diabetes, CVD, and chronic kidney disease; this survey was based on a qualitative study in which concepts important to experts and lay people were identified.31,22 Because a large number of concepts needed to be captured, we divided the survey into two versions.
We approached two samples: 1800 construction workers eligible for their periodic health check and 1133 people from the general working population. We chose these samples to be able to look at differences between branches of industry; employees in the construction industry were selected because of their relatively low educational level and socioeconomic status as well as a high prevalence of overweight and obesity, a group of workers for whom lifestyle changes are likely to be highly effective.32 Construction workers might have less correct knowledge and beliefs than those from the general working population because of inadequate conceptual health vocabulary and relatively low health literacy levels, and because of the relatively negative culture toward health promotion in the construction industry.33 Construction workers aged 16 to 65 years were invited via a letter sent by Arbouw. Arbouw is the Dutch national institute coordinating occupational health care for all workers in the construction industry. Construction workers could choose to fill out the questionnaire either on-line or using pencil and paper. Employees from the general working population were drawn from an on-line access panel (FlyCatcher Internet Research, 20,000 panel members in total, ISO 20252 and ISO 26362 certified); panel members aged 16 to 65 years with paid employment were invited through e-mail. We oversampled (60%) people aged between 40 and 65 years because of typical higher cardiometabolic risks in older people.
Both survey versions consisted of five parts capturing knowledge and beliefs about (1) causes and risk factors, (2) physiological processes, (3) disease symptoms, (4) disease consequences, and (5) risk-reduction strategies. These categories were based on our previously developed expert model of cardiometabolic risk31 and on typical lay representations of diseases.34,35 First, concepts for which it was clear that they were either correct or incorrect were included: expert concepts (eg, genetic predisposition), lay concepts (eg, poverty), and trick questions (eg, infections). Second, we posed questions about concepts whose accuracy was less definite. These predominantly concerned pronounced lay beliefs (eg, having had another disease) and concepts important to both lay people and experts but with experts' notion that little evidence is available so far (eg, the muscular system). All items were formulated for the three diseases in a matrix format with response categories "true," "false," and "don't know." Third, we posed questions about people's representation of the cardiometabolic risk concept, such as multifactorial influence of factors and the diseases' interconnectedness. These items were measured using a scale from 1 (true) to 5 (false). The survey further consisted of items assessing population risk estimates of the diseases ("Of every 100 people in the Netherlands, I think that .... will develop diabetes/CVD/chronic kidney disease during their lifetime," and "Of every 100 people in the Netherlands, I think that .... will develop diabetes/CVD/chronic kidney disease before the age of 60"), sociodemographic background (age, gender, and educational level), health (self-rated general health status, self-rated general lifestyle, having diabetes, CVD, or kidney disease, and having experienced cardiovascular problems), having a family history of diabetes and CVD, and subjective health literacy.36 The questions were carefully worded to avoid medical language and pretested among three construction workers.
We conducted descriptive analyses to assess the prevalence of knowledge and beliefs. For all items, we calculated average percentages for reported answers. Composite knowledge scores representing knowledge across items were constructed for the five survey parts; only items being either correct or incorrect were included, with "don't know" being considered incorrect. Concerning items assessing people's representation of the cardiometabolic risk concept, mean values were calculated and reverse-coded: a higher score indicated a higher average agreement. We used t tests and multiple linear regression analyses to evaluate which individual characteristics affected knowledge and beliefs. In the regression analyses, the following characteristics were considered: age, gender, educational level, subjective health literacy, having a family history of cardiometabolic diseases, having a cardiometabolic disease, and general health status. Furthermore, we assessed whether adding a branch of industry variable (construction workers vs general working population) had an additional influence.
Among construction workers, version 1 was filled out by 235 workers (26.1%) and version 2 by 247 workers (27.4%), which made 482 respondents (26.8%). Among employees from the general working population, version 1 was filled out by 364 (64.0%) and version 2 by 374 (65.7%), which made 738 respondents (65.1%). In total, we had 1220 respondents, resulting in a response rate of 41.6% (ie, the total number of respondents divided by the total number of people invited for participation). Table 1 displays respondents' characteristics. No differences between the two versions were found for the characteristics listed.
The answers to all items are displayed in the Appendix. Table 2 presents the average percentages of correct answers to the knowledge composites as well as differences between employee subgroups in these answers. Employees were most correct regarding concepts related to CVD, followed by diabetes and chronic kidney disease. They were particularly able to identify CVD risk-reduction strategies. Although only few misconceptions were found (eg, sweet food/sugar causes diabetes and drinking too little water causes kidney disease; see the Appendix), employees did show several knowledge gaps. Especially specific risk factors (eg, physical inactivity, ethnicity, and specific dietary intake such as not eating enough grain and fibers), and physiological processes (eg, disturbed metabolism and inflammation processes) were rather unknown to workers (see the Appendix).
We found a number of significant differences in knowledge between employee subgroups. Higher-educated workers had better knowledge than lower-educated workers (13 of the 15 composites). Furthermore, women consistently seemed to have more knowledge than men (9 of the 15 composites), especially concerning diabetes risk. Employees with low and high health literacy also differed on a substantial number (5) of composites, with workers with higher health literacy reporting better knowledge.
Table 3 displays mean values on the items about the cardiometabolic risk concept. Employees were quite familiar with the meaning of high cholesterol and high blood pressure, but high blood glucose levels were poorly comprehended. Employees knew well that there are usually multifactorial causes of cardiometabolic diseases. They were less informed about the diseases' interconnectedness. Although it seemed that employees were slightly aware of some connection, they also thought that the three diseases had different causes. Respondents were able to define an "elevated risk" as a higher-than-average disease risk, but the fact that there may already be physical damage before occurrence of the disease was relatively unknown.
Subgroups as defined by educational level differed significantly from each other on 9 of the 18 items representing the cardiometabolic risk concept, with higher-educated employees being more correct than lower-educated employees on eight concepts. Notably, for one item (elevated risk means that there is physical damage [true]), lower-educated people were more correct. We also found that women had more correct representations than men on five items. Employees with low and high health literacy differed on four items, with people with higher health literacy having more correct representations.
Highest estimates were given for the population risks of developing CVD (mean lifetime risk = 33.9%, mean risk before the age of 60 years = 24.0%). For diabetes, the mean lifetime risk was rated as 27.6% and the mean risk before the age of 60 years as 19.0%. Concerning kidney disease, the mean lifetime risk was estimated as 17.5% and the mean risk before the age of 60 years as 12.5%. Consistent differences in employee subgroups were found for educational level (with higher-educated people reporting lower risk estimates) and having a family history of diabetes and/or CVD (with people with a family history reporting higher estimates on all three risks).
In the multiple regression analyses, the same pattern of subgroup differences appeared as demonstrated by t tests. Educational level and gender were most predictive of knowledge and beliefs. Overall, a higher education was associated with better knowledge and more correct beliefs, as well as with lower risk estimates (β value ranging from 0.08 to 0.26). The effect that lower-educated employees knew better that there can be already physical damage in the case of an elevated risk continued to exist while adjusting for other variables (β = 0.10; P = 0.01). Female gender was generally related to better knowledge and beliefs (β value ranging from 0.06 to 0.17), except for two concepts (high blood glucose levels means too much of the hormone insulin in your blood (β = 0.08; P = 0.10) and the representation that an elevated risk means there is nothing serious (β = 0.06; P = 0.05). Female gender was also associated with higher risk estimates (β value ranging from 0.08 to 0.14).
Adding the branch of industry did not result overall in more variance explained. We found this variable to be a significant predictor leading to more variance explained for only a few concepts, namely for knowledge about CVD physiological processes (β = −0.08; P = 0.04), representations of abdominal obesity (mainly fat on your belly is a risk: β = −0.12; P = 0.03), elevated risk representations (elevated risk means that you have certain complaints: β = 0.11; P = 0.00), and representations of the diseases' interconnectedness (same type of diseases: β = −0.12; P = 0.00; different causes: β = 0.09; P = 0.02). For all these concepts, people from the general working population showed more correct responses. Adding the variable also resulted in more explained variance of CVD risk estimates (lifetime risk: β = 0.08; P = 0.04; risk before the age of 60 years: β = 0.10; P = 0.01) and kidney disease (lifetime risk: β = 0.14; P = 0.00; risk before the age of 60 years: β = 0.12; P = 0.00), with construction workers reporting higher risk percentages.
In this study, we demonstrated that Dutch employees had reasonable levels of knowledge about the principal concepts related to cardiometabolic risk, especially concerning CVD risk. At the same time, they seemed to have only vague knowledge about the interconnectedness of cardiometabolic diseases, and misconceptions of what elevated risk entails.
An important finding is that, compared with CVD, people had less knowledge about diabetes and chronic kidney disease. It may be that the public has adequately learned about CVD risk through intensive educational messages, while coverage of diabetes and kidney disease risk has been more rare. This pattern would correspond to UK findings that CVD receives more media coverage than diabetes.37 In this respect, it is encouraging that a substantial percentage of employees did identify overweight as a diabetes risk factor, a factor that steadily receives more media attention.38 An important knowledge gap, however, concerned physical inactivity as a risk factor for diabetes. Although these figures have been worse (eg, only 32% of Dutch respondents linked physical inactivity to diabetes in 2007,39 a more prominent focus on physical inactivity in risk education seems warranted (see also Refs. 40 and 41). Health risk assessments at work may be the ideal setting to achieve this; increasing numbers of people have sedentary occupations and several effective workplace interventions have been developed.42
Although the entire survey concentrated on the three diseases and the link between them may have become apparent, employees failed to answer correctly about this relation. This may nevertheless not sound surprising, as the relation between diseases is complex and not broadly reported on.37 Perhaps physicians are reluctant to discuss such details and address it only when people are already affected by one of the diseases. Although such reluctance on the part of physicians seems justifiable, the downside is that people at risk will not focus on the combination of factors that brings about a set of detrimental cardiometabolic processes, and that their knowledge remains fragmentary. Because more than three quarters of respondents also explicitly stated that the three diseases have different causes, we would urge for more effective education about this aspect. In health risk assessments, occupational physicians could explicitly address cardiometabolic risk and explain it in relation to the three diseases, instead of focusing on either diabetes, CVD, or chronic kidney disease. Especially for construction workers, such an approach may be worthwhile, as they showed relatively less correct knowledge of the diseases' interconnectedness.
A final finding to reflect on is that, although employees were able to think of an elevated cardiometabolic risk as a "higher-than-average chance of disease," this seemed to be an abstract concept without sufficient meaning. Importantly, employees did not know that an elevated risk can mean that there is physiological damage already, and notably higher-educated employees seemed to be even less knowledgeable than the lower-educated employees. Many employees believed that "there is nothing serious" when you have an elevated risk, and especially lower-educated employees and construction workers thought that an elevated risk means that you have certain complaints. Hence, while the lower-educated employees seem to have trouble distinguishing an elevated risk from actually having a disease, the higher-educated employees seem to be insufficiently aware of the physical damage that can be present during early stage diseases. These findings are particularly interesting in light of research indicating that people usually have difficulty in deriving meaning from numerical risk information.43,44 Verbal labels such as "elevated" are often used in combination with numerical risk information to support people in deriving meaning from risk information. An important question is how we should use such verbal labels if people have misconceptions about the label itself.
We had a relatively low response rate among construction workers (26.8%, compared with 65.1% in the general working population). More differences between the branches of industry might have been demonstrated, if we had had a higher response rate among construction workers. It seems plausible that respondents (compared with nonrespondents) among construction workers were more similar to the people from the general working population (because they were people motivated to complete surveys). Another limitation might be that we had only the construction industry as a separate branch of industry to compare to the general working population. Because of the financial crisis, other branches of industry that were initially interested in participation unfortunately declined to participate. Further research could focus on employees' knowledge and beliefs about the risks communicated in risk assessments in different branches of industry. Another limitation might be that we did not test the questionnaire among a large group of people. Nevertheless, pretesting has been done by collecting information from three interviews, where the third interview did not reveal new insights in addition to the two earlier interviews. Nevertheless, it should be mentioned that, in our pretest, we focused on interpretation problems with specific concepts, and we did not evaluate the complete experience of filling out the questionnaire, nor did we ask respondents for suggestions for improvements. A final limitation is that we had only self-reported data on general health and lifestyle, and no information on employees' actual cardiometabolic risk. Future research could focus on the relation between the extent of people's actual risk and their knowledge and beliefs.
To achieve better results from cardiometabolic risk assessments at work, occupational physicians should (1) explain the relation between cardiometabolic diseases and the overlap in risk factors to the employee. Especially physicians working for the construction industry should focus on explaining the role of abdominal obesity and the accompanying physiological processes as key factors for the three diseases, because it seemed that construction workers were particularly ignorant on these issues compared with the general working population; (2) check what an elevated cardiometabolic risk means for the employee (eg, let them explain the risk in their own words) and help produce a meaningful risk understanding. For example, physicians could compare an employee's risk with that of an average employee of their age in their branch of industry, or with an average person their age in the general working population.
It seems that such support should especially be targeted at employee subgroups as defined by educational level, gender, and health literacy, and to some extent also to the employee's branch of industry. Further tests are needed to assess whether such specific support as noted earlier will actually motivate lifestyle changes, and to investigate whether providing the support can be integrated in occupational health guidelines.45

Italy — Many job vacancies in spite of the high unemployment
28 September 2009
Annemarie Muntz, Head of the European Association of Staffing Agencies (Eurociett) told Italian daily 'il Sole 24 ore' prior to a labour market conference in Rome at the weekend about the weird and paradoxical situation the European labour market is confronted with. She said, "there are 20 million unemployed in Europe and 7 million vacant job offers. The markets which are suffering most are those which have not yet confronted real labour market reforms."
Gennaro delli Santi Cimaglia, Head of the Association of Recruitment Agencies (Assolavoro) said, "staffing agencies have transformed themselves into a partner on all levels from research to selection, to professional training to administration and even outplacement."
It is widely recognised that both staffing agencies and job seekers need to adapt to the changed labour market conditions. Marco Ceresa, Head of Randstad Italia said, "there are many people who don't want or can't do certain jobs. In the first case, there is very little we can do. In the second case we can do something about the candidate's professional training."
Whilst the Italian labour market is beginning to see a slow revival, professional placements look very different now compared to the times before the economic crisis.
Stefano Scabbio, CEO of Manpower Italy says, "since the end of July there has been a slight improvement in the market but temporary employment jobs last for a very short period of time now, 15 days at the most."
Vacancies mentioned are engineers, economics graduates who actually want to work in companies and chemical and mechanical engineers. There is also a shortage of waiters in the country.
According to Signor Ceresa job seekers lack of flexibility is not the only problem. He said that, "agencies have to deal with the fact that television has created a lot of false ideas about what is a desirable job and universities are pre-programming students for certain jobs and not for others."

Irving "Swifty" Lazar, whose entire head was made of bifocals, was a lawyer who learned you could make a killing as an agent if you held fast to situational ethics. From Harry Minetree's 1975 People article about Lazar, as he had just closed a book deal for a disgraced Richard Nixon and had agreed to let the former President sit for an interview with David Frost:
"On a bright morning last August, Irving Paul (Swifty) Lazar, the literary agent, was having breakfast beside the pool at his Beverly Hills home when the telephone interrupted. It was Ron Ziegler, ex-President Nixon's ex-press secretary, calling from San Clemente. Mr. Nixon, Ziegler said, was eager to see Lazar to discuss 'some business.' Lazar, who had a pretty good idea what the business was, crisply replied that he was leaving for Europe shortly, but he would be happy to see Mr. Nixon upon his return.
On August 31 the dapper, billiard-bald Lazar and Nixon met over a three-hour lunch at San Clemente. Afterward, agent Lazar returned home in his black limousine with the exclusive rights to sell the former President's memoirs in his attaché case. No matter that Swifty, a lifelong Democrat, had been an indefatigable fund-raiser for John F. Kennedy. Or that his Washington representative, Ann Buchwald, the wife of political satirist Art Buchwald, quit as a result of the Nixon deal. There was a buck to be made, in fact millions of bucks and, true to the 10-percenters' code, Lazar had a flexible philosophy to suit the occasion: 'In a deal you give and take. You compromise. Then you grab the cash and catch the next train out of town.'
Not many literary agents can afford to be so candid about their modus operandi. But then not many of them can afford a California mansion with genuine Picassos, Roualts, Chagalls and Dalis on the walls, a Rolls-Royce and a Mercedes in the garage, an elegant pied-a-terre in New York, offices in Beverly Hills, New York, London, Paris and Rome, $40,000-a-year phone bills and a custom-made wardrobe. There is only one 'Swifty'—a soubriquet Humphrey Bogart laid on him after Lazar acquired three hot screen properties for him in the space of 24 hours—and indeed there is hardly room for more than one Swifty in the agents' trade.
With characteristic speed, Lazar put together a package for Nixon: he sold the paperback rights to the book, which will probably appear in three volumes, to Warner Paperback Library for $2.5 million, the television rights for a Nixon interview to David Frost for another $750,000 and is asking for a hard-cover advance in the neighborhood of $1 million. (Although Lazar says Nixon was persuaded to accept Frost's proposition because of the 'interesting approach,' the word around Hollywood is that the interesting approach was simply the highest bid.) Still to be negotiated are foreign rights, book clubs, a possible movie and other spin-offs that will propel the former President back into millionaire status and guarantee Swifty Lazar fees well in the area of half a million. Even so, Lazar went through considerable soul-searching before he decided to represent Nixon. 'He asked the advice of everyone he knows,' says Art Buchwald. 'But it's probably for the best. When a politician gets in trouble he deserves the best lawyer and the best literary agent around. You use the agent to pay the lawyer—that's the way it goes.'
Nixon represents only the latest in Lazar's ledger of famous, infamous, literary, political and showbiz clients.
