Cumbrian health chiefs back campaign to lower suicide rate among men
Last updated at 13:19, Monday, 15 October 2012
Health experts in Cumbria are backing a campaign to reduce the number of suicides among men.
The county has a higher than average suicide rate, and about three quarters of these deaths are among men.
Jane Mathieson, a consultant in public health at NHS Cumbria, said there is also some evidence to suggest that numbers are increasing due to the recession.
That is why she is backing the Samaritans' new We're In Your Corner campaign, which aims to raise awareness of suicide in men and encourage more of them to seek help.
The initiative is being launched with Network Rail, which wants to reduce deaths on the railways.
"This research and campaign from the Samaritans confirms what we already know from a Cumbrian perspective – that more than three quarters of suicides are in men," said Dr Mathieson.
"Over the last 30 years or so there has been a worrying rise in suicides in younger men, but that seems to have levelled off a bit. Now we have noticed an increase in the middle-age group.
"This particular campaign aims to raise awareness and get across the message to men that there is help out there."
Iain Johnson, director of the Samaritans' west Cumbrian branch, said although it is a national campaign they will be promoting it particularly countywide.
"We are aiming it at blue collar males in their 30s and 40s. The men featured in the posters include a boxing coach, a soldier and construction worker. It's those kind of men that are appearing to be more at risk than any other group right now," he said.
Asked whether the economic downturn is to blame for the rise in suicides among this group, he said: "It's very difficult to say why. The reasons someone will take their own life are so complex. All we know is that the number of calls Samaritan's are getting are rising for this demographic.
"There is an urban myth, or probably an urban fact, that males of that kind of age do find it very difficult to talk about stuff that's obviously getting to them and the number of outlets for them to be able to talk are fairly few. It's not the kind of thing you can usually talk about to your family or mates down the pub.
"The campaign is really about raising awareness and taking the stigma away."
Anyone wanting to talk about a problem can speak to a local Samaritans representative by calling 08457 909090 or emailing email@example.com.

Lucki Eck$ - BOOMIN'
Artist: Lucki Eck$
Producer: Plu2o Nash
Album: None (Promo Single)
Avg Rating: 3.5 ( 4 votes )
Lucki Eck$ may be a newcomer to the hip-hop game, but he already seems to have carved out a profitable niche for himself. On his Booth debut and the first release of any kind since last year's Alternative Trap, the unsigned Windy City representative assures us that "business is BOOMIN'." Plu2o Nash handles production duties on this low-key street banger, layering ambient synths over syrupy-slow percussion. Over the atmospheric instrumental, Eck$ schools us on the ins and outs of his hustle, delivering his singsong bars in a distinctive, blunted croak. In the accompanying visuals, director Jimmy Regular makes trippy use of green screen effects. Feeling it? Then stay tuned; BOOMIN' is only a loosie, but I have a feeling we'll be hearing more from Lucki in the very near future.

Latest Agricultural subsidies Stories
DAVIS, Calif., June 10, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The new 2014 Farm Bill brought changes in conservation, commodity programs, crop insurance, rural development programs, loans, disaster
Low milk prices paid to family farmers threaten livelihoods, regional economies SOMERVILLE, Mass., June 23 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- More than 13,200 Americans signed on to Farm Aid's petition to the U.S.
COLLEGE PARK, Md., April 23 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- As the Obama administration has sought to cut farm subsidies for next year's budget they have encountered strong resistance, especially in farm states.
By Scott Stafford, The Berkshire Eagle, Pittsfield, Mass. Aug. 6--The dwindling population of dairy farmers in Massachusetts is watching warily to see how new legislation, awaiting the governor's signature, will affect their battered bottom lines.
By Charles Abbott WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The outmoded U.S. crop subsidy system should be replaced by a farm safety net that pays farmers and ranchers for land stewardship and protects their income through crop insurance and similar devices, an activist group said on Monday.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Congress should rewrite U.S. farm subsidy law dramatically to encourage land stewardship and protect farm income by "revenue-based risk management systems" that would replace an automatic spigot into the U.S.
By Charles Abbott WASHINGTON (Reuters) - House Speaker Dennis Hastert on Friday, put his weight behind reviving a $1 billion dairy subsidy for farmers, supporting a two-year extension like that already approved by the U.S. Senate in a broad federal budget-cutting bill.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Republican lawmakers in the U.S. House of Representatives mulled revival of a federal milk subsidy to woo more votes for a $54 billion budget-cutting bill that has run into trouble, three agricultural sources said on Thursday.
By Charles Abbott WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Senate should limit farmers to $250,000 a year in crop subsidies, a 30 percent cut that would stop big growers from gobbling up most of the money, the Senate Finance Committee chairman said on Tuesday.

You Can Leave Your Shoes On
Why sequester could make air travel a whole lot better.
- By Justin HienzJustin Hienz is a writer and analyst working in the homeland security and business realm. He is the owner of Cogent Writing, LLC, a strategic content company, and is managing editor for Security Debrief, a blog on homeland and national security.
Sequestration is coming…maybe. The $85 billion in spending cuts that were designed to force Congress to the bargaining table will go into effect March 1, and Washington is warning it could make your airport experience even more miserable than usual. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood has said sequestration could cause delays because fewer air traffic controllers means fewer flights. And Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano told Congress that spending cuts could lead to longer security lines at airports, as the Transportation Security Administration deploys fewer officers.
But, to be blunt, the length and speed of security lines at airports are a function of the TSA's inefficient security methodology, not its budget and staff. Reduced federal funds will magnify this inefficiency, but to claim longer lines are purely a result of budget cuts is a cop-out. Sequestration is actually an opportunity for the TSA to abandon its insistence on screening all airline passengers, which demands extraordinary resources and manpower, and instead adopt a more efficient and effective approach. If it does, budget cuts might be the best thing that ever happened to airport screening.
For years, the TSA has attempted to detect every single threat to the U.S. transportation system. In aviation, this has meant scanning every bag, every piece of cargo, and every man, woman, and child that comes through an airport. This 100 percent methodology is deceptively simple, and it gives the false impression that if everything on an airplane has been scanned, then there is no threat. But it is flawed. Detecting and stopping every threatening item and person is not possible. Eventually, there will be another "failure of imagination," a black swan that undercuts the misperception that U.S. transportation is completely secure.
Some degree of risk is unavoidable, and spending tax dollars with abandon chasing after the unobtainable is a waste. Worse, in trying to stop every potential danger, low priorities receive an inordinate amount of attention. For example, in April 2005, the TSA started confiscating cigarette lighters because they could be used to ignite a bomb. This meant ferreting out about 22,000 lighters a day (which cost $4 million annually to destroy). In having transportation security officers focus their attention on lighters, they potentially missed other threatening items — such as the very bomb components the lighter supposedly could ignite. This is precisely why TSA Administrator Kip Hawley removed the lighter ban in 2007.
Other aspects of TSA's airport passenger screening follow the same methodology that banned lighters. Advanced Imaging Technology (AIT) machines (aka full-body scanners) are at best a deterrent, and at worst, a waste of money. Of the full-body scanners in use across the United States, exactly none of them could have detected the explosives hidden in Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab's underwear during his attempted 2009 attack. Nor can these machines detect explosives hidden inside the body, either in a cavity or surgically implanted. This is a tactic al Qaeda terrorists have already used in attacks in other countries, most notably in the 2009 attempted assassination of Saudi Prince Muhammad bin Nayif.
The 100 percent methodology was also behind the controversial full-body pat downs levied against every passenger who refused to pass through or who triggered an AIT machine. This suggests a 3-year-old child, a terminally ill cancer patient, and a grandmother in her 90s all present the same level of threat as a Yemeni national visiting the United States with a one-way plane ticket. This is, of course, absurd.
When it comes to passenger screening, the TSA has answered the aviation threat with manpower and dollars, but not much common sense. However, times are changing, albeit slowly. This is where sequestration can help.
In recent years, the TSA (and the Department of Homeland Security writ large) has begun shifting to a risk-based security methodology. This is a far more efficient and effective approach to securing people and cargo because it recognizes that there are variations in the threat level. The TSA has already begun implementing risk-based screening in cargo security, and the agency is also starting to amend passenger screening policies.
Last year, the TSA announced that children under 12 and passengers 75 and older could wear their shoes and light jackets during screening and could pass through an AIT machine one extra time if their first pass detected "an anomaly." The agency's website proudly declares that these adjustments are "part of TSA's overarching risk-based security methodology."
It's a good start, but more changes are needed. At its best, risk-based screening would draw on a range of intelligence — like behavioral analysis, origin and destination points, nationality, and other passenger data — in addition to body scanning and physical inspection. It would allow the TSA to focus most of its resources on the most likely threats. This would be a more efficient, expedient, and effective way of determining who among the million-plus people flying in the United States every day could put lives in jeopardy.
Risk-based screening, however, can be a tough pill for some to swallow. Scanning every passenger has a lot of political value, as it shows that elected officials and government agencies are tough on terrorism, doing whatever they can to protect the public. The 100 percent methodology is easy to sell because it gives the impression that U.S. aviation security is impenetrable, even though it is not.
Given this, shifting to this smarter, more cost-effective screening methodology cannot happen overnight. The TSA is slowly wading into the risk-based waters, but with sequestration looming, this is the perfect opportunity for the TSA to explain and implement the risk-based methodology across the board. Short on resources, asked to do more with less, the TSA will be able to make the case that the 100 percent security methodology is untenable in the current economy. Fortunately, however, a risk-based methodology will allow the agency to maintain or even elevate the level of security it provides.
The TSA could draw down its use of AIT machines and reduce the resources needed to maintain them. For every full-body scanner, the TSA requires a team of officers. Most concourses have several machines and most airports have several concourses. That costs a significant amount in salaries and technology acquisitions just to watch an irritated public (virtually all of which is benign) shuffle through million-dollar machines. Fewer officers mean fewer salaries paid with limited tax dollars.
But the TSA need not hand pink slips to most airport screening officers. Some are essential, and following the risk-based methodology, the agency might also retrain and move select staff to the front lines as behavioral detection officers or even beyond airport grounds in conspicuous and proactive Visible Intermodal Prevention and Response units. These are things the TSA already does, and in the face of a lower budget but a consistent threat, it needs to do more of them.
The TSA's mandate is clear: Protect the public. A smaller budget is no excuse for reduced security or reduced throughput. The TSA has the means and the methodology to make airport screening faster, cheaper, and more effective, and it should take this opportunity to put the pedal down on risk-based screening. Even though sequestration is a monster invented by Congress, if airport security lines grow longer after March 1, the blame can be laid fully at the TSA's feet.

Obama's top faith adviser blasts anti-jihad ad
The second line of opposition to the anti-jihad ads was announced by Sojourners, the publication led by Rev. Jim Wallis, one of the Obama's top religious advisers.
His group announced "Christians across the country are standing up to counter anti-Muslim ads" and launched a fundraising drive to support a "Love Your Muslim Neighbor" ad campaign in New York.
In a statement, Wallis said: "The second of The Ten Commandments is 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' It didn't come with stipulations. It didn't come with extra addendums, with added qualifiers. Christians around the world need to put that into action as often as we can, especially where we see hatred like this."
Actually, the second of the Ten Commandments is: "You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth."
"Love your neighbor" was the second commandment mentioned by Jesus when his disciples asked him which was the most important. The first was to the effect, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul and mind."
Sojourners later amended the organization's statement to remove the reference to the second commandment.
The Wallis statement said: "Everyone – regardless of race, religion, or creed – deserves to feel welcomed and safe when riding public transit in America. With tensions across the world at an all-time high, the Christian community is doing what it can to promote non-violence in their own backyard, and this addition of subway ads to an ongoing billboard campaign only reinforces the Christian call to peace."

Volunteers sought for Clermont Citizens Corps
The Clermont Citizen's Corps is hoping for a rousing turnout of potential volunteers for a training seminar March 10.

Engineer's Office is prepared for the snow
The six inches of snow that mother nature dropped on the county last week was no match for the Clermont County Engineer's Office. The county engineer's office has three salt storage sites in Batavia, Miami Township, and Washington Township. Villages and townships maintain their own sites, but the county does share with any county areas that may run short on supplies. Last week's snow event, Feb. 6 and 7, cost the county close to $70,000. Included in this cost was the 50,000 pounds of salt that drivers dropped on the roads, fuel and other miscellaneous maintenance expenses, and the labor involved.
Batavia to continue funding for Main Street Program
The village of Batavia will be continuing its financial support of the Main Street Program.

The lone dissenting vote was cast by councilwoman Summer Tyler.

Your First Million From PCH: Would You Spend or Save?
If you won The PCH Mega Prize on November 30th, would you spend or save the first million?
All right, PCH fans, let's put it all on the table. I'd like you to really think about the question above: Imagine if you become the lucky winner of the Mega Prize on November 30th. You've just received $1,000,000.00 ON THE SPOT! After you leap into Todd Sloane's arms or give Danielle Lam and Dave Sayer a big bear hug…after the Prize Patrol drives away and your head stops spinning…what would you do with that first million dollars, knowing you'd get weekly payments of $5,000.00 for the rest of your life? Would you save it, or go on a spending spree like the world has never known?
Wow, talk about a "million dollar question," this really is food for thought! I'm getting chills just thinking about it! After all, becoming a millionaire overnight would change your life forever. So how would you handle a windfall this HUGE?
I bet there are a "million" things going through your mind right now. Spend or save…spend or save?
Would you have a plan of action? Would you know what to do? Oh, dear friends, I hope so! There's no right answer here, only what's right for YOU. Whatever will keep you secure and worry-free, and yes, of course, happy!
Let's weigh the options:
Say you decide to spend. Suddenly, you have your choice of big-ticket items like cars, homes, vacations, designer clothes and jewelry. Maybe you'd opt to throw a huge party and invite everyone you know! Or perhaps you have other priorities, like paying off your mortgage and credit card debt, hospital bills and college tuition.
On the other hand, say you decide to save your first million dollars. Tuck it away in a secure account with high interest…even invest it. Perhaps you'd like to make sure your parents are cared for in their elder years, or fund your retirement and open trusts for your little ones. Not as fun and "sexy" as a shiny new luxury automobile or a vacation home in Maui, but when you weigh instant gratification against long-term security, you could enjoy true peace of mind.
Just food for thought, PCH fans. I know that every one of you hopes the Prize Patrol — "America's most welcome drop-in guests" — will drop in on YOU on November 30th with the Mega Prize. But in order for that to happen, you of course have to enter! So go on and enter today! And don't forget to comment below and tell us what YOU would do: SPEND OR SAVE!

i have always wanted to help the children's cancer society
I will open an account and deposit and soon as it clears pay my bills
If I were to win the PCH jackpot, the first thing I would do is make an appointment with a financial planning organization and get all my ducks in a row. Then I would pay off my college loans (which at this moment total $93,000.00. Next, I would see to it that my landlord is taken care of for the remainder of her life (she is 78-years-old and an angel on earth!). After those steps, I would decide where I want to have a summer home and a winter home, and draw up blueprints with a reputable construction organization. Of course, my family would be taken care of. I want to give those in my life that have helped me to survive funding to make themselves comfortable. I would also begin to initiate philanthropic offerings to scholarships, United States' homeless and hungry, and take care of our country first!!
If i jesus macias wins the million super prize i will donate 15%to ST JUdes CHILDRENS HOSPITAL.
of my winnings for the rest. of my life,.
If i jesus macias win super ptize November 30th i will and i mean i will donate 15% for the rest ofmylifepch

Top 10 albums of year worth hearing again and again
I'm a year-end entertainment list geek. Have been since I was a kid. I wouldn't just obsessively comb through every list I could get my hands on. I'd devote hours drafting up nominees and winners for a fictitious awards ceremony, my own one-man people's choice awards.
But in my years of personal-turned-professional list-making, this list of the year's 10 best albums was the hardest to put together and the nicest problem I've ever had. »Read Full Article(34)

Journal Communications employees received the following memo Monday, on the 33rd day of the blackout of Journal Broadcast Group stations, including WTMJ-TV (Channel 4), on Time Warner Cable.
The dispute between them is over fees the cable service pays to carry a stations' programming. Time Warner is in a similar dispute with CBS-owned stations, whose settlement will set the standard for the future, said the Hollywood Reporter. »Read Full Blog Post(23)
Milwaukee Rep's 'I Left My Heart' celebrates song more than singer
If you attend "I Left My Heart," the Milwaukee Repertory Theater's season-opening Tony Bennett revue, you won't hear a word about the man who helped liberate a concentrate camp, marched with Martin Luther King Jr. at Selma and became an outspoken opponent of the American invasion of Iraq. Nor will you hear about Bennett's two divorces or former drug addiction.
As the subtitle to the Rep's revue indicates, what co-writers David Grapes and Todd Olson (who also directs) have created is a "salute to the music of Tony Bennett," with an emphasis on the music. »Read Full Article(1)

MSOE cancels Art City radio show after one episode
Well, at least I'll be able to say, "There was that time Art City was on the radio -- once."

Log Cabin holds annual convention
BY Advocate.com Editors
May 13 2003 12:00 AM ET
The gay political group Log Cabin Republicans had its annual convention May 8-10 in Washington, D.C., with attendance reportedly more than double that of last year's convention, due in large part to the recent public comments made by Sen. Rick Santorum (R-Pa.), in which he compared homosexuality to bigamy, adultery, and incest. Santorum has been the center of attention since an April 7 interview with the Associated Press in which he brought up the pending Supreme Court case over Texas's antigay sodomy law and made the derogatory statements.
"It was a reminder to all that we had work to do," said Patrick Guerriero, Log Cabin director. "If we were completely satisfied that the Republican Party was as inclusive as we wished, we would cease to exist. It's obvious that the issue of inclusiveness in the Republican Party is going to be a major issue." The GOP takeover of the Senate last year and the upcoming presidential race also were leading topics at the convention.
A 200-member delegation from Log Cabin's convention met Friday for more than an hour with three White House officials at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building in Washington, D.C. The group talked with Joseph O'Neill, the White House AIDS czar; Brett Kavanaugh, associate White House counsel; and Holly Kuzmich, associate director of the White House domestic policy council, about AIDS, education, and judicial nominees for the federal bench. The subject of Santorum, however, was not brought up. Ken Lisaius, a White House spokesman, downplayed the meeting, saying it was one of many policy meetings requested by groups looking for ways to further the president's initiatives.

I want to know something detailed about Jiang Jieshi and his military advisors of Germany Max Bauer Hermann Kriebel、Georg Wetzell、Hans von Seeckt and
Alexander von Falkenhausen.
who can offer?
This is an apolitical forum for discussions on the Axis nations and related topics hosted by Marcus Wendel's Axis History Factbook in cooperation with Christian Ankerstjerne's Panzerworld and Christoph Awender's WW2 day by day.
Founded in 1999.
When Alexander von Falkenhausen born on 29th October 1878 in Silesia, he had already the prerequirements of a good career as an imperial officer. His father, served in the Army, owned property and a member of noble family.When Alexander was 12 years old he was sent to Infantry Regiment in Oldenburg, where Colonel Hindenburg took command.
In early summer 1900 he was excited: the "Boxer" revolt in China encouraged the world powers to intervene. When it was known that German troops should be sent, Falkenhausen tried everything to participate. With his uncles help, he was commissioned in the 3rd. East Asian Infantry Regiment. "This exprience was a decisive influence on my life."
Falkenhausen stayed one year in China. On August 1901 he went back to Oldenburg. His prespective had extended. He studied European colonial history and its economical and political "applications". The 26-years-old experienced a new career peak, he was chosen to 150 cadets out from 1000 candidates to attend Berlin Military Academy. Not long thereafter he married a daugther of Upperhouse and Housemarshall of Wedderkop, a man with worldwide experience and known of his long journeys, in Oldenburg.
In Berlin he got an extraordinary task. With the beginning of Russian-Japanese War, there was a demand of officers who can speak Japanese. Six others and he himself was chosen. His drawing talent made it easier for him to overcome this "great and continous work". After a prussian styled education in the military academy, he was commissioned for half a year in a seminar of oriental languages at the Berliner University, where he finished his study with excellence. The promotion could not wait. In 1908 he joined the great general's staff.
His assignment area was East Asia. "All material about Japan, Korea, and the Manchuria flowed through my hands: military-, embassy- and consular reports, newspapers and literature, military potential, politics, economy,...finally I knew about Japanese sphere of influence better than about German ones." In Fall 1909 he was sent to Japan : for two years he should study the army installations there. Besides, he was planned to visit North China and Korea as well. For one year, his young wife accompanied him. Their conclusion was: only Chinese and French cuisine are really good. 1911 he travelled through Indochina to went back to Europe. By playing roulette in Monte Carlo he won his traveling expense back. Back in Berlin, he was immediately sent back to Japan. This time as a Military attache. Until the beginning of World War on August 1914 he stayed in Far East.
Chinese heroine Qian Xiuling, who had settled in Belgium, saved nearly one hundred Belgians from the evil Nazi. Belgians respectfully call Ms. Qian "the Chinese woman at the gunpoint of Gestapo", "Chinese woman Schindler" and "Chinese mother in Belgium".
The World War II brought misfortune to Belgium and resistance started there in 1941. A young activist in Qian's village was sentenced to death for joining resistance campaign. Qian ventured to go to Brussels and persuaded German military officer Alexander von Falkenhausen, a best friend of her elder cousin, to change the sentence to hard labor.
In June 1944, Ms. Qian persuaded her husband and went to Falkenhausen's, regardless of her pregnancy. She at last saved 96 hostages of Belgium's Ecaussinnes city with her courage and wisdom as well as the help of Falkenhausen.
Falkenhausen was arrested by Gestapo after he returned to Germany and was about to be brought to court as dissident. In 1950, Falkenhausen was tried as Germany's top war criminal in Belgium.
Hearing the news, Qian went around appealing in support of Falkenhausen's righteous deed. She told Belgian reporters that although Falkenhausen was an invader, he also tried his best to free many Belgians from fatal disaster.

1084 Tasting Notes
My first purple tea! YAY! Thanks Courtney for sharing a little with me so I can try it.
Like other Butiki teas, the flavoring here is very natural and a little subtle but not in a bad way. Mmmm, I love bluberry! The base tea reminds me a little of a green or maybe white tea? It doesn't have a really strong flavor either, but don't get me wrong, this tea isn't bland or anything! It is really quite nice. I'm glad I got to try it. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a nice natural blueberry flavored tea! I think its the best blueberry tea I've tried so far.
I'm so glad I finally got to try some bamboo tea! Thanks Courtney :)
I'm only mostly sure I can pick out the bamboo note in this tea. There is lots of juicy peachy pineapple goodness on top, with a gentle floral undertone and a hint of something vegetal that must be the bamboo. This would be great iced I bet! I am curious to try more bamboo teas now.
The bamboo is not as obvious in this one as it is in Blazing Strawberries, because the fruity pineapple/other flavours mask it a bit more.
Thank you Tealizzy for the sample! This is a very tasty oolong. I'm not really getting any of the pastry type flavors as described on the package, but its pretty good nonetheless! It is very smooth and floral and not at all astringent. Buttery and vegetal, too. Glad to have tried it, but not rushing to buy more or anything :)
I've been hoarding the last few cups of this and a couple of my other favorite Butiki blends. They aren't even officially in my cupboard! I still have a tiny bit of Maple Pecan Oolong and Cantaloupe and Cream! shh ;)
Anyway, it is a gross rainy Saturday here and I'm at WORK so it is TREAT time! This tea is definitely a treat for me. So creamy and good! Mmmmm, I love it :)
I decided to try to finish up some samples that had been languishing. I still have enough for ONE more cup of this fella. I really like it but apparently I was not in the mood this afternoon like I thought I was. Maybe its just too hot and humid outside for warm smoked tea?
I've had this tea since last fall. I think it was one of my first major purchases when I started getting hardcore into teas! Unfortunately I am rarely in the mood for mint in my tea, so I still have probably an ounce or so of it just wasting away in my tea drawer. I really need to organize my tea and maybe put up a swap list of stuff I need help drinking down! Maybe this weekend I'll get on that.
ANYWAY, this tea really isn't that bad or anything. It sort of reminds of of a chai in a way. (I haven't been in the mood for chai in a long time, either! Interesting.) Its really light on the caffeine front too, which is generally very good for me! I get a lot of cardamon and mint mostly. I could use a pick me up this afternoon though so I might choose something a bit stronger later in the afternoon…

This thread is such a joke. There is nothing wrong with speculation, but most of it is ridiculous. How can it be "obvious" when these people are strangers to you
The posters claiming every celeb is gay being gay themselves? Coincidence? I think not
Basically to some of you:
Single= gay
married/dating= gay
You act as if it's the only option, it just gets irritating. I have dated women as well as men, but I'm not gonna claim every hot female celebrity is gay with NO evidence.

Respect to Kolkata Knight Riders. Respect to Kings XI Punjab too. It goes without saying that two of the best teams in fray have made it to the final of the seventh edition of the IPL. Given the form and progress of both the teams, to hazard a guess about the winner is difficult. There is little that sets them apart.
Barring a few anxious matches when they were really tested, Kings XI Punjab have had a smooth passage to the title clash for the first time in the last seven years. On the other hand, 2012 champions Kolkata Knight Riders had a forgettable start in the first leg in Abu Dhabi before finding their wonted form in the second leg in India.
It will be interesting to see how things transpire when the two teams with contrasting approach lock horns in what promises to be a tough battle for supremacy. If Punjab look to outplay their opponents with their batting might, which they have done time and again, Kolkata, too, have the likes of captain Gautam Gambhir and the indomitable Robin Uthappa in their line-up that is capable of rattling any bowling attack. Who can forget Yusuf Pathan who clobbered Dale Steyn over the park a few days ago.
It is the bowling in Gambhir's team that looks well balanced. Morne Morkel, Umesh Yadav and the enigmatic Sunil Narine are in fine form, while Piyush Chawla and Shakib Al Hasan have been more than useful.
That they won eight matches on the trot on the way to the title clash will definitely have KKR in the right frame of mind. The three-day rest before coming to Bangalore for the all-important clash seems to have done a world of good for the Kolkata team.
Kings XI captain George Bailey could not hide his smile on the eve of the match. He had every reason to feel so as everything worked according to the team's gameplan against Chennai Super Kings in Mumbai on Friday. Delhi dasher Virender Sehwag played a match-winning knock of 122 that virtually sealed CSK's fate.
Though he looked good in the previous outings, a big knock was long due from Sehwag. The India discard could not have timed his century better. Many were left wondering if he was out to prove his detractors wrong, while his awesome batting display left all the CSK bowlers running for cover. By the time he got out after completing his task, he had done enough damage.
It is exactly this devastating form that Punjab will be hoping from Sehwag again if they nurture any hopes of winning their maiden IPL title. Though David Miller has been in good form, it is Glenn Maxwell who has hit a bad patch in the last couple of matches.
Having said that, both the teams know there is little room for mistakes in a T20 match. The team that gets its basics right stands a better chance of walking away with the glory.
Gautam Gambhir
We dont give importance to critics. Most important thing is what the bunch of players sitting in the dressing room say about me and what I feel about them as well.
It was a great innings from Virender Sehwag against Chennai Super Kings in Mumbai on Friday. He showed what he is capable of. Yes, he is a good friend of mine off the field and on it, it is a different issue.
George Bailey
KKR have been consistent in all the departments right through the tournament. Worrying about your opponents doesn't help. We want to focus on what we are supposed to do.
I think we have been lucky to have played the last three games at Mohali. So we had a nice little base there for a week. That gave us bit of time to refresh. However, if we get to this stage in a very long tournament, players are a bit tired. There is no doubt that the guys are eager for the match.

How to start a company without an IT professional
Have you ever noticed that IT professionals are grumpy? I think that part of the reason is because they never get calls like this: "Hey IT guy, just calling to say that everything is working okay today and you're a great guy!" The calls are typically more like this: "Hey IT guy, why is it that the only messages our spam filter filters out are our sales leads? Luckily, however, it does let all the Viagra ads through, which is good because it gives us something to read while we're not selling anything.

Dell promises to restate fudged accounts
Texas-based PC manufacturer Dell has been forced to restate accounts going back to 2003 due to accounting errors and irregularities identified by an internal investigation. The accounting errors and irregularities that will be corrected are significant because of the combination of the number of issues identified, the qualitative nature of many of the issues, and in some cases, the dollar amounts involved.The problems came to light in 2005, when the SEC's Division of Enforcement launched an investigation into the company's accounting and financial reporting practices.

We have to stop meeting like this
With managers experiencing meeting overload, Bert van der Zwan of WebEx gives a web-conferencer's view of why having fewer face-to-face encounters can benefit both companies and their staff. How many meetings do you attend every month? For some of us it may only be one or two, but for others a meeting every or every other day would not be an unusual state of affairs. Recent research on the subject found that on average, each working person in the UK attends almost eight meetings every month, and over 90 every year.

Kittens could save us from spam
Kevin Larson, a researcher at Microsoft, has come up with a unique idea for combating e-mail spam – kittens! Typically, would-be spammers use free e-mail services like Hotmail and Yahoo mail for sending their spam messages. These mail services attempt to prevent automated signups for new mailboxes by using a protocol referred to as HIPS – Human Interactive Proofs. You've seen them.

The Spacebar: Your Excel nemesis
The spacebar can be your enemy in Excel. While pressing the spacebar might seem like a simple method for clearing data from a cell, the results of such an action can be devastating. And spaces take up space, and that can cause other problems with your spreadsheet.Pressing the spacebar leaves not a blank but a space in a spreadsheet cell, and a space is a character, just like a letter or a number.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Ford
(F - Get Report) has reported that European sales were up 11.6% in February, moving the car company's European market share up 20 basis points to 7%.
The automaker's VP of Marketing Roelant de Waard released a statement on Friday saying, "Our sales and share performance in February marked another step forward for Ford as we progress in our plan to return to profitability in Europe in 2015."
Must Read: Warren Buffett's 10 Favorite Stocks
STOCKS TO BUY: TheStreet Quant Ratings has identified a handful of stocks that can potentially TRIPLE in the next 12 months. Learn more.
Last month's performance outpaced the industry mark of 8% growth during February. The Detroit car company has seen brand recognition in Europe -- the U.K. especially -- grow immensely over the years, led by its mid-sized sedan, the Ford Focus.
The Ford Focus is currently the U.K.'s most common car, accounting for 1.46 million of the 32 million cars in the country. The smaller Ford Fiesta is the second most driven car in the U.K, accounting for with 1.42 million cars on the road. The Ford Mondeo rounds out the top eight with 563,000 vehicles in use across the pond.
- Compared to where it was a year ago today, the stock is now trading at a higher level, reflecting both the market's overall trend during that period and the fact that the company's earnings growth has been robust. Turning our attention to the future direction of the stock, it goes without saying that even the best stocks can fall in an overall down market. However, in any other environment, this stock still has good upside potential despite the fact that it has already risen in the past year.
- Despite its growing revenue, the company underperformed as compared with the industry average of 3.7%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly increased by 3.6%. Growth in the company's revenue appears to have helped boost the earnings per share.
- Net operating cash flow has significantly increased by 187.25% to $315.00 million when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, FORD MOTOR CO has also vastly surpassed the industry average cash flow growth rate of 29.70%.
- FORD MOTOR CO reported significant earnings per share improvement in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. The company has demonstrated a pattern of positive earnings per share growth over the past year. However, we anticipate underperformance relative to this pattern in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, FORD MOTOR CO increased its bottom line by earning $1.75 versus $1.42 in the prior year. For the next year, the market is expecting a contraction of 21.1% in earnings ($1.38 versus $1.75).

What is it?
Curvy and distinctive Swedish saloon that puts safety at the forefront of its not inconsiderable engineering prowess, the S60 is giving up some of its past Volvo identity to become another accomplished but indistinguishable Euro-box with competent road manners, good refinement and lots of kit at a keen price.
This facelifted one gives the front end a much-needed refresh, and also tries to clean up the mass of controls inside, although with more limited success here.
The S60 is firmly sprung, giving it a slightly more sporting edge than we'd have expected from the brand that puts safety before breakfast on its daily to-do list. Volvo wanted this car to be a bit more exciting than past efforts and has tried to engineer and style it to complement this. It hasn't worked. There's plenty of grip and the body is controlled in corners, but the steering is lifeless and vague and the auto 'box not up to a performance role.
In a straight line, all the S60 engine variants are quick enough. We'd rather have the throbby fivecylinder D3 and D5, although Volvo says its future is actually in the superb four-cylinder D4 Drive-E engine. Its broad spread of power, surprising revviness and general overall refinement all ensure there's no doubting Volvo's logic. This is an engine that's got the measure of any German rival...
On the inside
The S60 feels a little tight in the cabin, especially when compared to something like the reasonably sized Passat or positively cavernous Mondeo that both undercut it. Volvo does make a lovely interior, though, managing to remain quite unique in the way it styles its console and instrument binnacle. Everything looks and feels very high quality in here, as close to the best German rivals as anyone else has got and more so in some areas of detail.
The front seats, as always with Volvos, are really comfortable and supportive and this feels like the sort of car you could do high miles in without getting tired or stiff. Unless you're in the back, however, which is a bit pinched for this class.
The Volvo S60 is well equipped, with the entry-level model still equipped with posh toys like sat nav. Every car in the range also gets Volvo's City Safety System that recognises pedestrians in the road ahead via a camera hidden in the rear-view mirror. It gives you a warning to brake and if you don't, it does it for you. All very 21st-century Volvo, and occasionally just a little bit too much like Big Brother. All diesels are fuel efficient, the new Drive-E D4 exceptionally so. CO2 of just 99g/km is amazing.

The Ministry of Communications and High Technologies (Azerbaijani: Аzərbаycаn Rеspubliкаsının Rabitə və Informasiya Texnologiyaları Nаzirliyi) is an Azerbaijani governmental agency within the Cabinet of Azerbaijan in charge of regulation of the communications sector and development of information technologies in the country. The ministry is headed by Dr.Ali Abbasov.[1]
The first Ministry of Transportation, Postal Service and Telegraph of the country was established on May 28, 1918 with declaration of independence of Azerbaijan Democratic Republic (ADR).[2] The first minister was Khudadat bey Malik-Aslanov. When the second cabinet of ADR convened, the government conducted administrative reforms and split the ministry into Ministry of Transportation and the new Ministry of Postal Service and Telegraph. While Malik-Aslanov remained Minister of Transportation, Agha Ashurov was put in charge to lead the Ministry of Postal Service and Telegraph on October 6, 1918.[3][4] In three successive governments, Aslan bey Safikurdski, Jamo bey Hajinski and J. Ildyrym served as ministers of Postal Service and Telegraph. After establishment of Soviet rule in Azerbaijan on April 28, 1920 the ministry was transformed into Mail and Telegraph Commissariat. From the time of its inception by Soviet authorities, the communications sector was directly managed by permanent representatives of Ministry of Communications of USSR in Azerbaijan up until 1953. After restoration of independence of Azerbaijan in 1991, the Ministry of Communications was re-established.
On February 24, 2004 as per the Presidential Decree of Ilham Aliyev the Ministry of Communications was transformed into a bigger Ministry of Communication and Information Technologies.[2]
The ministry is headed by the minister with two deputy ministers and one head of administration. Main functions of the ministry are formulation and implementation of single state policy in the field of communication and information technologies; regulation of activities in the field of communications and information technologies; encouraging creation of new forms of social and economic activity through massive utilization of information technologies, creation of information markets; control over utilization of the radiofrequency spectrum and maintenance of aboveground satellite communication facilities; implementation of necessary measures for meeting the demands of state bodies, municipalities, physical and juridical entities for the communication and information technologies services. Maintaining and regulating Azərpoçt mail and telegraph, phone communications, radio and television broadcasting, information technologies are within the duties of the ministry.[2]
Internet is remains uncensored and free in Azerbaijan despite the government's criticism of the political opposition.[5]

A Delhi court on Saturday reserved its order till July 1 on framing of charges against Congress leader Sajjan Kumar and others in connection with the killing of six persons during the 1984 anti-Sikh riots.
After hearing the arguments from the CBI and the accused, Additional Sessions Judge Sunita Gupta said the court would pronounce its order on July 1.
The arguments in the case were wrapped up with the CBI seeking prosecution of the former Outer Delhi MP and four others for the murder, rioting and other offences under the Indian Penal Code and the defence counsel requesting discharge of the accused claiming insufficient evidence.
During over two hours of arguments, CBI counsel D. P. Singh referred to statements by different witnesses including Bhagwani Bai and Chand Kaur to claim that they had stood by their affidavits submitted before the Jain Banerjee Committee, specifying the role of the accused in the riots.
He tried to rebut the plea of counsel for the accused that the cases in which the CBI was seeking their prosecution had already been decided, saying that the murder charges had earlier never been pressed against them.
Mr. Singh's contention was opposed by Sajjan Kumar's counsel I. U. Khan and A. K. Sharma who submitted that a total of 60 people were killed in Sultanpuri during the riots that followed the assassination of the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi on October 31, 1984, but the CBI had named the Congress leader only with regard to six deaths.
In his submission, CBI's Special Prosecutor Y. K. Saxena said the accused could not refer to alleged contradictions in statements of witnesses at the stage of framing of charges as the option was available to them during the trial only.
Senior counsel H. S. Phoolka, arguing on behalf of the victims, claimed that Sajjan Kumar had never been earlier tried for criminal conspiracy with regard to killings in the riots as the Delhi Police had filed closure report in different cases.
The CBI is seeking prosecution of Sajjan Kumar and Brahmanand Gupta, Peru, Khushal Singh and Ved Prakash for the murder of six persons in Sultanpuri area of North-West Delhi in the riots that took place in the aftermath of Indira Gandhi's assassination. If the court finds prima facie evidence against the accused, it would order framing of charges on July 1 thereby initiating the trial in the case and if it finds the evidence insufficient, it can discharge the accused.
