FOOD FOR THOUGHT-The Recession's Over. The Emergency Isn't
According to a flurry of headlines today, a panel of economists just announced that "the recession's over." Is that true? Yes. Does that mean we're no longer in a crisis, or that steps to fix the economy aren't as urgently needed as they were before? Absolutely not. The situation on the ground -- in the lives of the millions of people who must survive in today's economy -- hasn't changed. We still need jobs, and we still need a concerted government effort to create them. The economists weren't declaring an end to the problem, but most Americans wouldn't understand that from the way the story was covered.
"Recession officially ended in June 2009," says CNN in a typical headline. The Los Angeles Times headline elaborates: "Recession was longest since the 1930s." While most major outlets worked hard to put the story in context, the word "recession" itself confuses readers. What is a "recession"? And what does the National Bureau of Economic Research (NEBR) mean when it says that a "recession is over," much less that one ended over a year ago?
Too many people, including some who write on economics and public policy, assume the word "recession" means "like a depression, but not as bad." They relate "recession" to "depression" pretty much the same way Aerosmith defines "pink": "It's like red, but not quite." In this vague definition, a "recession" is a period of time in which things pretty much suck, economically speaking, but aren't as bad as they were in the 1930s. When economists say a recession's ended, people who misinterpret the word assume they're saying things have gotten better. But that's not what "recession" means to economists.
The dictionary definition of the word "recession" is "the act of receding or withdrawing," and that's pretty close to the economic definition. Technical definitions can vary, but the NEBR's definition - a time when "a significant decline in economic activity spreads across the economy" - is pretty much the economic standard. In other words, a recession happens when economic activity is "receding." When it stops receding and begins to move forward again - however slowly or inadequately - the recession is over.
An analogy: When the earth stops shaking, seismologists all agree that an earthquake is over. That doesn't change the fact that it's left a lot of wreckage behind.
The damage caused by recessions can sometimes be repaired in large part by improved economic growth, but we're not seeing enough growth (or the right kind) right now. The NEBR's economists took enormous pains to address the ongoing economic wreckage in their announcement today. In making this determination, the announcement said, "the committee did not conclude that economic conditions since that month have been favorable or that the economy has returned to operating at normal capacity." They took note of continued difficulties, especially regarding unemployment.
Despite the NEBR panel's laudable attempt to provide the right context for its report, some people misinterpreted it anyway. Mike Thompson of the Detroit Free Press said this: "Hot off the wires: According to a transmission that planet Earth has just received from the planet where economists dwell, the recession is over! " While Thompson's heart is clearly in the right place - he goes on to describe the ongoing human suffering - the problem here isn't the NEBR. It's the public misinterpretation of the word itself, made worse by the media's failure to provide proper definitions or context.
Matt Phillips of the Wall Street Journal went even further off the beam in an article that begins, "The high-priests of recession dating have spoken." The article goes on:
"Really?," the American public says. "That's funny because we're still pretty miserable." "
Well, that's neither here nor there,' " say the egg-heads on the NBER.
That's just wrong. Phillips does eventually cite the committee's caveat, but not before leaving the impression that the NEBR, rather than his own piece, is confused about what it means to be in a "recession." The WSJ did much better in its news section, where an article was headlined "Recession Over, but Weakness Remains." Other coverage, like Catherine Rampell's in the New York Times and Neil Irwin's in the Washington Post, were equally balanced. Nevertheless, the misunderstandings and misinterpretations will continue as long as coverage of items like the NEBR report don't provide a clear, easy-to-read explanation of the word "recession."
The confusion and misinterpretation extends to the stock market, too. If reports like these are true and the NEBR report caused stock prices to jump - even if only by 1% or so - that should put the lie to belief in 'the wisdom of markets.' That's just dumb. There's no hard information in this report that hasn't been known for a long time. (It's their analysis of that data that's newsworthy.) More importantly, the report isn't an 'all clear' signal. It reads more like a wakeup call about our ailing economy and the possibility of future dangers, observing that this was the longest recession since World War II and leaving the door open to the possibility of another recession.
The biggest danger posed by these misunderstandings is that they will mislead people into thinking things are getting better on their own. We're technically in a "recovery," but that's like saying the flood waters are subsiding after a tidal wave. Millions of lives are still devastated, and the pace of recovery is much too weak to help them in the foreseeable future.
How bad is it out there? There are 4 million fewer wage earners today than there were in 2007, but more and more people are entering the workforce. Long-term unemployment is at record levels. If things don't change, many unemployed Americans over 50 may never work again. Their passport to the American dream will have been permanently revoked.
Young people aren't faring any better. The unemployment rate among people aged 18 to 24 was 18% in August. We're facing the possibility of an entire generation entering the workforce without any jobs available. That's why Derek Thompson, a fine economics writer who also belongs to the twentysomething generation, added this comment to a piece on millenials forced to live with their parents: "We want to work. We want to grow up. We want to have our own jobs and apartments and weddings and baby showers. But many young people cannot do those things right now ... "
Youth unemployment isn't just demoralizing and painful while people are out of work. It can also cripple their lifetime earning ability. That's one reason why the Secretary-General of the OECD called US youth unemployment "a tragedy within a tragedy" and said "there is danger of a frustrated generation." ("There's no future for you," sang the Sex Pistols. "We're the flowers in the dustbin.")
Under-employment is an enormous problem, too. As Arjun Jayadev and Mike Konczal observed, underemployment is up across thirteen different employment sectors. That's one reason why the gap in household earning between white and African American families isn't closing, even though their average hourly wages are closer than they once were.
More economic tragedy: Nearly 44 million Americans live in poverty. With 14.3% of its citizens impoverished, the US now has the third worst poverty rate of any developed nation.
At the rate we're currently adding jobs in the private sector (67,000 jobs last month), the economy's not even keeping up with new entrants into the workforce (about 100,000 per month). Even if we doubled the rate of private sector job growth, it would take 20 years to get back to where we were before Wall Street crashed the economy. Sure, 67,000 new jobs each month is technically a "recovery," but it's dramatically lower than the employment growth we've seen after other recessions.
Today's NEBR report doesn't change the fact that massive public spending is needed if we are to fix the damage that's been done and become the nation we want to be. That's why 300 economists (a "small army," as the Huffington Post put it) signed a statement warning of the "grave danger" the nation faces if it focuses on reducing the deficit before investing in job creation to get the economy moving again. It's also why Laura Tyson, a respected economist who serves on the President's Council of Economic Advisors, recently wrote that "our national debate about fiscal policy has become skewed, with far too much focus on the deficit and far too little on unemployment."
More must be done to get people back to work. More must be done to rein in the runaway bankers who caused this problem. And we need to make sure people don't confuse "an end to the recession" with "an end to the misery."

'Semenya will run in Finland'
Helsinki - South African world 800m champion Caster Semenya will return to competition next Thursday in the Finnish town of Lappeenranta, after an enforced break due to controversial gender tests, her agent said.
"If nothing extraordinary happens she will compete in Lappeenranta," Jukka Harkonen said on Thursday.
"She is suffering from mild 'flu, which is the only thing that could impact it, but we have booked flights and agreed on everything."
Semenya, who was cleared to compete as a woman by the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) on Tuesday, has not run competitively since undergoing gender tests at the Berlin world championships in August.
The Lappeenranta Games will be held on July 15 in the southeastern Finnish town, some 220 kms from the capital Helsinki.
"There are a few small competitions held in July and there is no point to start from a big competition. It better to get competition feeling from smaller ones," Harkonen said, adding that the fact that he was Finnish also had some bearing on the decision.
He said there had been talks about other competitions which Semenya might attend after Lappeenranta, but that no decisions had been made.
Semenya sprang to prominence last year with her rapid improvement over 800 metres. Her winning time in Berlin of one minute 55.45 seconds was the fastest of 2009.
On Wednesday, the 19-year-old South African ran 600 metres in fitness tests to determine if she was ready to compete after the long absence.
Her coach Michael Seme has said Semenya will not compete in the world junior championships in Canada later this month but might run in the African championships, which start on July 28.

8 Rules for Being “Friends With Benefits”
It all starts out simple. You were friends. Then you decided to ‘get busy’. Then you both decide to remain friends and continue to get busy. That’s it…no strings attached. Spooning is OK, but no one is obligated to sleep over. No one has to call the next day to check in. Both of you can even date other people. Simple, no?
“Cuddy buddies”, “FFs”, “friends with benefits (F.W.B.)”– whatever fancy term you give it, there’s never anything simple about it.
Relationships have become increasingly carefree and physical, as women and men are marrying later in life. The boundaries between male/female relationships are less apparent and sex easily slips into the dichotomy. On the surface it makes sense to enjoy sex with someone you can trust, if you both aren’t ready for a serious relationships. But for some strange reason, F.W.B. always turns into a bad situation.
We can’t restrain you from acting on you burning loins, but can give a few tips to avoid an atrocity.
First- REMEMBER you are not his girlfriend or going to become his girlfriend by having sex with him. You are a friend, who is a girl…that’s it. If you go in (no pun, well maybe a little) expecting him to change his mind about your place in his life, you may be disappointed and left feeling like you’ve wasted your time. If you want an emotionally fulfilling relationship, seek out one, don’t try to create one.
Second- If you choose to date other people, understand that they may not be comfortable with your cuddy buddy set up. It may be difficult for them to meet your friends, if your hooking up with one of them.
Third- Don’t sweat the small stuff. All the common relationship courtesy’s don’t apply. He doesn’t have to call. He doesn’t have to meet your other friends. He doesn’t have to mention you to his friends. And foreplay is appreciated, but not required.
Fourth- Don’t become territorial. REMEMBER you are not his girlfriend.
Fifth- Lil Wayne said it best, “don’t get too comfortable”. Unless you’ve created a time chart for how long your special meet ups will take place, they can end abruptly.
Sixth- Be discreet, don’t get too touchy in public and only tell a select number of friends. Once again, if one of you decides to date an outside person they will not appreciate everyone in your circle knowing you two have had relations.
Seventh- Avoid being F.W.B. with a close friend. Hooking up with acquaintances is always an ideal situation because you don’t run into them on a regular basis.
Eighth- Understand your relationship will never be the same again. There’s something about seeing another person naked that changes everything. If you value your relationship platonically, be leery of taking it in another direction. Biologically, sex educes hormones in women that creates a sense of happiness and loyalty that can manifest into emotional attachment. Biologically for men, sex educes hormones that put them to sleep. See the difference
Alexis Jordan Is Jay-Z’s New Girl Next Door
Jay-Z has an eye for talent. Under his guidance he’s ignited the careers of many young artists and Alexis Jordan is next. Roc Nation’s sweetheart recently chatted with Madame Noire about her recent rise to success and upcoming album, Happiness. Her debut single, “Happiness”, recently dropped and went straight to No. 1 of Billboard Magazine’s Dance Airplay chart.
It’s always refreshing to see artists, with actual talent, make it in the industry. Constantly changing, show business may think you’re great one day and wack the next. Luckily, we recognize true talent which is why Jordan is the first of our Madames Rising series where we showcase women making moves in the entertainment industry.
The best part about her: She keeps her clothes on! No need to strut around half-dressed to command attention, her talent stands for itself. And like she said, “I don’t need to be half naked. Men like a little mystery.”
This girl knows her stuff.
Real Men Like Real Hair – Why Weaves Don’t Work
Anslem “NWSO” Samuel’s Naked With Socks On is an award-winning relationship blog. Each week, NWSO will share his candid thoughts on women, love, life and all the fun stuff in between with MadameNoire.
If you pay attention to the images portrayed in magazines and mainstream movies, most will have you believe that all men are stuck on the idea of their women having long hair. Whether it’s Beyoncé or Tamika up the block, achieving that look usually means getting a weave, tracks, wig, or whatever other follicle trickery beauticians use to fake the funk. That’s not to say that a black woman can’t have naturally long hair without assistance, but more times than not that sister with the ponytail is actually rocking a phony tail.
I for one am a man that appreciates natural hair. Be it locks, an Afro, curly tresses or even a low-cut Caesar, I admire a woman that is comfortable in her own skin and hair. There’s just a certain sexiness and confidence I get from a woman that decides to defy the norm by rockin’ the hair God gave her. Again, that’s no knock against sisters that prefer a perm and extensions, but natural hair is more my speed. But maybe I’m alone in that distinction.
Mainstream media beats us over the head with images of longhaired women being the ideal form of beauty. From childhood ideas of beauty that defy our own African heritage are what we’re exposed to. Our daughters grow up playing with Barbie dolls that have silky smooth hair and watching cartoons that highlight the same features. Somewhere along the way our sons learn early on to pay more attention to the girls with “good hair.” A few parents make a concerted effort to teach their kids diversity, but for the most part we all wind up repeating the same cycle.
Young girls grow into women that can’t wait to get their hair did and balk at the idea of getting caught in the rain for fear of reverting back to their “nappy” roots. Young boys grow into men that chase short skirts and long hair for sport. As a result, black hair care is a multi-billion dollar industry, where perms, weaves and wigs are the norm. Even women that sport short cuts, like Rihanna and Halle Berry, are guilty of layering their tresses with tracks and extensions, while most guys are clueless.
Essence.com Beauty Editor Tia Williams recently hit the streets of Harlem, NY to see is men could tell which celebrities had long African-American hair or weaves. Needless to say, the ladies had the brothers fooled. Truthfully, the average man probably can’t tell the real from the fake with hair (or anything else for that matter) unless a woman is wearing an extremely bad weave.
All we care about is whether or not a woman can treat us as good as she looks. Now that’s real

Rooney sorry for pitch outburst
Wayne Rooney has apologised for "any offence caused" by his post-match rant at England's fans in Cape Town on Friday night.
Wayne Rooney has apologised for "any offence caused" by his post-match rant at England's fans in Cape Town on Friday night.
As he made his way off the pitch following the goalless draw with Algeria, Rooney turned to a television camera and condemned the fans who had booed the Three Lions' performance, before swearing.
But, after reflection, Rooney said in a statement issued by the Football Association: "On reflection I said things in the heat of the moment that came out of frustration of both our performance and the result. For my part I apologise for any offence caused by my actions at the end of the game."
The 24-year-old allowed his frustrations to spill over after failing to score in his sixth consecutive tournament game, a run that dates back to Euro 2004.
Rooney's overall display was well below his usual level, prompting further questions to be raised about the Manchester United man's fitness.
Clearly agitated at a draw that left England in third place in Group C and outside the top two qualifying slots ahead of their final game with Slovenia in Port Elizabeth on Wednesday, Rooney snapped: "Nice to see your own fans booing you. If that's what loyal support is."
He then muttered a swear word as he walked towards the home dressing room, which was subsequently entered by an unauthorised supporter, shortly after the departure of Prince William and Prince Harry, prompting a major police inquiry.
With such a big match now looming and the pressure on him to deliver mounting, Rooney has taken the correct course of action by dealing with the matter so swiftly. And he has also issued a rallying cry he hopes will lead to unity as England chase that crucial victory this week.
"I am as passionate about the England team as anyone," he added. "The most important thing now is to regroup, be positive and work towards winning the game on Wednesday.
"To do this the players will need the support of the fans more than ever."

ati Men hurt more when they are broken hearted!!! do they even have hearts? lol
sorry, could help that...feminist in me...errrrr...no, take that back..but seriously u think there is any truth in this?
After any of your heart-wrenching breakups with men, you probably thought you were suffering like “no man’s business.” Well, you weren’t…particularly because ‘man’ suffers way more than you in the break-up business. In fact, according to a new study, broken hearts destroy men just a little bit more than women. Hmm. You’d think they’d be nicer about it then, ay? More details after the jump…
Women may shed more tears over a busted romantic relationship, but men suffer the greater emotional toll, researchers say.
In a study of more than 1,000 men and women, ages 18 to 23, researchers found that unhappy romances cause men more emotional grief, including threatening their identity and feelings of self-worth. Young men and women express their distress at a breakup differently. Women are more likely to feel depressed after a breakup, while men are more likely to have substance-abuse problems.
Men may be more affected by a breakup because their romantic partners are their primary source of intimacy. Women, however, are more likely to have other close relationships with friends or family members to turn to for support, said the study’s author, Robin Simon of Wake Forest University.
Nonmarital relationships are important to a young adult’s well-being, Simon said. “However, the advantages of partner support and disadvantages of partner strain are more closely associated with men’s than women’s mental health,” she wrote.
The study is published in the June issue of the Journal of Health and Social Behavior.

I GOT MYSELF A SPONSOR!
Okay so Teaira Marie put a fancy word to it, that makes it sound less hoochie like! lol...am trying to help those who try to justify why women do this...so Gold Digger? or sponsee? lol?
Everybody’s got a hustle. Some people work 9 to 5. Others don’t need an office make money as professional gold diggers. But as women, is “gold digger” a name that should offend us?
Merriam-Webster’s definition of “gold-digger”: A person who uses charm to extract money or gifts from others.
The term “gold digger” usually gets women’s panties all in a bunch, because those types of women are seen as paid sex toys doing whatever a man requests, for money– similar to another profession. They want to be ‘kept’ and not work for their own. It doesn’t sound right, because it really isn’t OK to have ulterior motives in relationships or be completely dependent upon someone else. Also, it’s not safe for anyone to be completely financially dependent on someone (single or married).
Baje Fletcher, author of A Gold Digger’s Guide received criticism on her advice book on how to “get what you want without giving it up”. According to her, “Gold digger is a phrase coined by men and used as a method of reverse psychology on women.” She added, “However, women also use it against each other in hopes of putting the other down. [Gold digger is] a term created so women expect less from the male species and experience episodes called: guilt trips if they dare suggest that anything related to finances is expected from the opposite sex.”
From a survival point of view, Fletcher makes sense. Historically, women are gatherers and men hunters; instinctively we want a partner that can provide for home and heart. Although we shouldn’t weed out men by the amount in their trust-fund, it is OK to want someone who can financially support your home (could consider your take home income as well). On the flip side, this doesn’t mean that we should discount men who make less than us.
It’s really about balance and being genuine in all relationships. If moola is a major issue, make it plain, but it shouldn’t be the only reason to be involved with a man…that’s just dangerous
"THANKS TO MASE, I STOPPED STRIPPING! "- EVE
Mase may have received backlash for his constant shift between being a pastor and a rapper in the past, but he's actually done some good for many. It was long reported that he told DMX to go on the straight and narrow -- even though it didn't work. But, he also helped another member of the Ruff Ryders when they were going nowhere.
That rapper was Eve.
In an interview Eve did for a recent episode of VH1's "Behind The Music" on her life and career, the female rapper revealed that before the fame, she was going down a dark path. And, it wasn't until Mase gave her some words of encouragement that she finally focused.
According to the upcoming special, Eve was a stripper in Philadelphia when a chance encounter with Mase took place ... and it changed her life.
"He came into the club and looked at me and literally was like, 'What's your name?' And I gave him every stripper name under the sun! I was like, 'I'm Ginger, I'm Sassy!' He was like, 'Why don't you go get dressed, let's go just talk,' " Eve said. "And we did, we talked throughout the night. He was like, 'You're really talented. What are you doing? You know you're not supposed to be here. You know it.'
She says having a celebrity of that stature at the time tell her she had skills confirmed what she's beleived all along.
"It was a confirmation for me that all these thoughts, all this sadness. All these times that I wake up in the morning, I'm like, 'Why do I feel like this?' And I know I'm not supposed to be there. It just woke me up," the rapper explained.
From there, Eve decided to focus on her music.
At 18 years old, Even audition for Aftermath A&R, Mike Lynn, who was impressed by her skills. Mike introduced her to Dr. Dre, who signed her to Aftermath.
But, the deal didn't work out. Months after she was signed, Dre found an unknown white rapper named Eminem and Eve was released shortly after.
Luckily, Eve didn't stop. She eventually hooked up with the Ruff Ryders camp ... and the rest is history.
Mike Lynn, A&R of Aftermath Records. After one verse and hook he knew he had a star.
Mike introduced Eve to Dr Dre who signed her to a record deal. But after Eminem came into the picture, Aftermath released her after only 8 months.
Eventually she got a chance to audition for Ruff Ryders and the rest is history.
The episode of "Behind the Music" featuring Eve aired on Monday (June 14) on VH1. Head over to VH1.com for clips from the show, as well as bonus footage.

Apparently, Brian Austin Green, of "Beverly Hills 90210" fame, proposed to the actress in Hawaii ... and she said yes.
Her rep confirmed the new with Us Weekly this week that Green popped the question earlier this month ...
"Yes, she is engaged," her rep tells Us.
After the proposal, the ring was reportedly lost in the excitement, and the hotel's staff combed the beach to look for it, but it was never recovered.
"I saw her jumping up and down," a witness told the magazine of the beachside proposal at the Four Seasons Hualalai hotel on the Big Island in Hawaii. "Later, I saw a half dozen staff sifting through the sand."
The witness added that no one ever found it.
It was reportedly a 2-carat monster, which Fox and Green picked out together from Excalibur jewelry store in Beverly Hills. That sucks...
Congrats to the couple.

My Father, My Guiding Light
18TH MAY 2005...
Dad, you’re like the sun to me,
a sure thing, always there,
beaming light and warmth on my life.
Whatever is good in me today,
I owe to your wisdom, your patience,
your strength, your love.
You taught me by example,
as a role model,
how to be my own person,
how to believe in myself,
instructing me without controlling me.
Even when we disagreed,
you held us together,
so our bond was never broken.
I understand what you did for me,
and I am so grateful that I have you
as my solid foundation, my rock.
I respect you, I admire you, I love you,
my guiding light, my father.

PHAT VS. FAT
Poem by Veronica Blakely
Arthur of
"I Want What Most White Women Got: A Black Man"
www.vs-voice.com
Sistahs’ are P-H-A-T phat and fine
With shapes and figures oh so divine
They wear their weight quite well
Some are thick and some are chunky
Or maybe even a little bumpy
They still look good as others can tell.
When it comes to selection
Of a mate for affection
Brothas’ don’t seem to know where it’s at.
Instead of a plump African Queen
When he shows up on the scene
With other races of women who are F-A-T fat.
Now what’s the difference in their size?
Other than the color of hair, skin and eyes
They are all practically the same.
But for some reason or another
Brothas’ would rather choose other
Races of women who have practically the same frame.
Some Sistahs’ are wide and curvy
Oh but don’t you worry
They still know how to please a man.
They can cook and they can clean
Along with everything in between
If Brothas would include them in their plans.
So Brotha don’t ask a Sistah to lose weight
Unless you would rather negate
Your ability to choose and be wise.
A Sistahs character and personality
Should stand for something unilaterally
Rather than you worrying about her size.

THE MAN WITH THE DIVIDED HEART
Written by Letitia L. Hodge
From the Book:
“Shadows of Love: Inside the H’Art of a Poet”
Copyright 2006
When you fall in love with a man who has a divided heart,
your relationship is doomed right from the start.
As he tries to convince you that things are better than they seem,
he leads you down a path of empty promises and unfulfilled dreams.
Hot and steamy lovemaking filled with passionate cries are followed by
unanswered calls, disappearing acts and insulting lies.
His smooth and crafty words resonate in your head, as you lie awake at
night in a cold and empty bed.
Being shuffled about like a deck of cards and feeling like a fool, is the price you
pay for being in love with a man who’s totally confused.
You deserve to be loved by a God-fearing man who is stable and sincere, not a man
who has become an expert at saying things every woman wants to hear.
Get out of this mess, Girlfriend! God has better plans for you.
He wants to rebuild your inner spirit and make it better than new.
You are a precious Child of God. You are beautiful and way too smart,
to stay in a damaging relationship with a man who has a divided heart.
“All a man’s ways seem right to him,
but the Lord weighs the heart.”
(Proverbs 21: 2)

Should i let you feel my heart race
as we embrace
and how it beats so rapidly,

CHINA CHINA CHINA...what hart thou?
The 2010 World Expo is about to open in Shanghai in what China hopes will be further proof of its rising global influence.
More than 180 countries and international organisations are showcasing their culture in an event themed around sustainable development.
Many are doing in so in pavilions with radical architecture.
World leaders, including France's President Sarkozy, are attending the opening ceremony.
The city has increased security measures drastically in preparation for the event.
An additional 8,000 police officers have been brought in to help Shanghai's 46,000-strong police force to patrol the city, Chinese state media says.
'Oppressive' security
Residents living near the Expo site have complained about oppressive security measures.
"It's just not convenient to get in and out any more," Dong, a local resident, was quoted as saying by the Associated Press news agency.
Markets have been closed down to build Expo car parks, he added.
Six people who protested about having their homes destroyed to make room for the Expo have been sent to labour camps, the Hong-Kong based Chinese Human Rights Defenders were quoted as saying by AP.
Last week police seized four computers belonging to activist Feng Zhenghu, who had been trying to set up an alternative online Expo, highlighting alleged miscarriages of justice, the BBC's Chris Hogg in Shanghai says.
The Expo is seen as an opportunity for countries to try to win favour with the Chinese, our correspondent adds.
Speaking at a press conference in Beijing on Thursday, President Sarkozy - whose relationship with China has been testy after he criticized a Chinese security crackdown in Tibet in 2008 - said France and China would "think and work together".

OOPPSSS! I did it again!
she looks so hang over!
Lohan -- who is on probation for DUI -- has not fulfilled the alcohol education requirement laid down by the judge ... TMZ has learned.
Judge Marsha Revel made it clear to Lindsay late last year, she must attend alcohol ed courses once every 7 days. The only exception -- if she was in inpatient rehab. And the judge was explicit ... if Lindsay did not comply with the terms of probation, she was going to jail.
The school in which Lindsay enrolled is required by state law to inform the court only if the student is MIA for 21 days. So here's the disconnect: The school has not reported an attendance violation ... because Lindsay frequently waited until the 21st day to attend classes.
Bottom line -- Lindsay met the school's requirement, but squarely violated the judge's order.
We've learned what's going to come out at Lindsay's progress hearing on May 20 -- that she has habitually violated the judge's requirement to attend classes at least once every 7 days.
Judge Revel has made it clear to Lindsay -- no more chances. If probation is violated, she's going to jail ... and probation was repeatedly violated.
We asked Lindsay's lawyer, Shawn Chapman Holley, for comment and received the following email: "We have received no negative written report from the program and contend Ms. Lohan is therefore in compliance." Good lawyering for sure, because -- as we just told you -- the program may not have a problem with Lindsay, but the judge is going to have a big problem.

10 Reasons Why African Men DON’T ROCK
FOOD FOR THOUGHT
By Mubita C. Nawa
As the world focuses on Africa this year for the world cup, Africa needs to take a closer look at its men and their leadership roles in Africa and beyond.
In a continent where half the men do not know their daughters birthday, their wedding anniversary or the menstrual cycles of their wives, there is a reason these men are the way they are.
It is not for the lack of brilliance. These men know the shoe sizes of Diego Maradona, Ronaldo, and Kaka, the shirt number of the world’s most expensive player and the width of the river Nile. But they are disconnected socially from their mothers, wives, sisters, daughters and in some cases from their fellow men. These men look happy, but the women in their lives are miserable.
This article is not an indictment against Africa’s great men who are standing in the gap and being great husbands, statesmen, brothers and fathers. This article recognizes that such men are there. The trouble is they are the exception rather than the rule.
The hope is that this article will spark a dialogue that will positively affect the next generation so that they are better than the current one. To be a real man after all is not about being closed away from the world you live in, but possessing a worldview that seeks to understand not only sport and nature, but the opposite sex.
1. They Don’t Communicate: They do not just get it. They only speak when they are angry and when they do they yell and shout. They don’t know how to say sorry unless it is to the revenue authority, the police officer and the fire marshal. Their own communications have no emotion or connectivity. They can talk about bridges and high story buildings but not talk about the stories behind the people who built those buildings.
2. They are Too Angry: They have not seen a Psychologist in years. To an African man, the dread of seeing a counselor is the equivalent to a woman’s dread before a visit to the gynecologist.
3. They Love Sex but Hate Romance: Romance is a waste of time. Romance is just another 8th wonder galloping a tourist money and time. Sex for an African man is like a science project whose apparatus change depending on the mood. So the rule of thumb is, “Get it done as soon as you can, get in and get out and make some children while at it.”
4. They Don’t Respect Women: Don’t ask her how her day was, but ask her if dinner is ready. She must respect you but you must never respect her. The only time you respect her is when you are in the presence of her relatives but as soon as you are the two of you, call her all kinds of names as long as they are NOT ‘Sweety, Lovie, Baby or Honey.’
5. They Treat Women like Slaves: The harder she works, the more womanly she is. She must work until her face wrinkles. She must work until her hands blister. She must work until she has no desire to look beautiful for anyone. Some men have never even cooked for their wives or for their children.
6. Too Much Soccer, Too much Politics: If the passion an African man puts in his soccer and his politics was the same passion he put in his woman, the African woman would be ecstatic.
7. Don’t Know what to do with Children: An African man has the libido, energy and sex drive to father an entire village of children, but he does not know how to raise those children. He does not know how to show up at the child’s graduation day, sports day, and career day, not even take their child to the hospital or under-five clinic. The African man gets this from his parents and forefathers. African men have no idea what it means to be hugged or loved by their own fathers.
8. Little Accountability: The African man is not accountable to anyone or any organization but to his own ego. He does not want to account for his wife’s or girlfriend’s money. Nor his sisters or mothers money. No wonder the African man makes a terrible politician. An African man wants a free spirit that hovers around the world without anyone telling it where to land though it is past its landing time.
9. Poor Cosmetic Hygiene: The African man does not like to smell good. He likes to visit the barber to escort his friend but he does not enjoy a clean cut or shave. He would rather shave his own head even if it makes him look like a peacock. The only time an African man looks good is at weddings. All the while the women in his life wish he could just use some deodorant, perfume and cologne. But in the mind of an African man, these are all eccentrics of feminists.
10. Too Educated: An African man has more degrees than an American, European or a Japanese. African men have scavenged the world for the best education. They have sold their goods and properties, divorced themselves from social networks and relocated thousands of miles away in pursuit of education. But the real question is what has that education done for Africa? Zero. Some men in Africa have a dozen degrees; couple dozen diplomas, three dozen certificates, a thousand certificates of attendance and multiple PhD’s. Did I mention MBA’s? Yet education for an African man is a tool for intimidating others with and a bragging right rather than an inner liberation. One of the reasons the Nobel Prices have fewer African’s and more Europeans and Americas is that Africans are still doing their thesis while the other people are in the laboratory and on the ground putting into practice what they have learn.
CONCLUSION:
This article is not an indictment against all Africans. Africa has produced some fine men and great scholars and parents who have contributed to the well being of society. These men have liberated Africa from its historic shackles; they have fought imperial powers that colonized not only the continent, but the African mind. To these men and women we say thank you.
We still have a long way to go. Our actions and interventions now will ensure that we liberate the next generation.
Human rights in Africa are just another academic work. Women in Zambia for example work long hours; travel long distances to draw water, still carry buckets to the labor ward for disposal or waste. Children across Africa are still child soldiers, street kids, and child fathers and mothers. All this while African leaders (majority of who are men) fly around in luxury, detached from society, content with cheap political mileage and abuse power with impunity.
Systems in Africa abuse women, abuse children and celebrate mediocre men who are otherwise called politicians. Systems in Africa ridicule men who appear like women only because these men care and are connected with their gentle side.
This article is not a slander or an attack on anyone. It is a tool bar being used to open a discussion that African men through their patriarchal leadership have avoided for years. But times have changed and it is time for African men to come clean and address this area of their lives.
Our women are crying and unfortunately our men a deafened by bouncing echoes of their own success. Or is it really success?
The author Mubita C. Nawa admits that he too is an African man who is struggling with his own upbringing.
RECOMMENDATIONS OR SOLUTIONS
1. Interpersonal Skills Training: Men must be taught from an early age what it means to relate to others. It must begin with self relationship. Being in communion with oneself.
2. Redefining Manhood: For generations men have struggled defining who a rue man is. Often the yardsticks are number of children, number of women, and the size of you know what. But time has come to say that a real man is a man whose emotional intelligence is greater than his IQ or even the size of tires on his car. It is time we told men that it is OK to cry.
3. Women must be Women: African men are a bit confused by African women. Women must go back to being mothers, nurturers, guides and gentle souls that men can count on. If our women are misplaced, so too will our men. It is OK for a woman too work, make money, and all. But she must never take the position of a man. She will fail.
4. Dialogue: Men must communicate more. Women must listen too without nagging. Let us talk about where or what we did wrong. Let us talk about it with mutual respect and candor.
5. Fall in Love with Humanity: Men must love their children more than their ‘adult’ toys. Men must love their wives more than their side kicks. Men must love being home more than the sports bar. Men must go back to the basics of life. Men must lead. A true man is a true leader. He is a priest, a prince, and shepherded, a lover and sure enough a man. Men must love people and the process of engaging and interacting with people. That for me is what rocks.

They don’t know how to say sorry unless it is to the revenue authority, the police officer and the fire marshal. Their own communications have no emotion or connectivity. They can talk about bridges and high story buildings but not talk about the stories behind the people who built those buildings.
2. They are Too Angry: They have not seen a Psychologist in years. To an African man, the dread of seeing a counselor is the equivalent to a woman’s dread before a visit to the gynecologist.
3. They Love Sex but Hate Romance: Romance is a waste of time. Romance is just another 8th wonder galloping a tourist money and time. Sex for an African man is like a science project whose apparatus change depending on the mood. So the rule of thumb is, “Get it done as soon as you can, get in and get out and make some children while at it.”
4. They Don’t Respect Women: Don’t ask her how her day was, but ask her if dinner is ready. She must respect you but you must never respect her. The only time you respect her is when you are in the presence of her relatives but as soon as you are the two of you, call her all kinds of names as long as they are NOT ‘Sweety, Lovie, Baby or Honey.’
5. They Treat Women like Slaves: The harder she works, the more womanly she is. She must work until her face wrinkles. She must work until her hands blister. She must work until she has no desire to look beautiful for anyone. Some men have never even cooked for their wives or for their children.
6. Too Much Soccer, Too much Politics: If the passion an African man puts in his soccer and his politics was the same passion he put in his woman, the African woman would be ecstatic.
7. Don’t Know what to do with Children: An African man has the libido, energy and sex drive to father an entire village of children, but he does not know how to raise those children. He does not know how to show up at the child’s graduation day, sports day, and career day, not even take their child to the hospital or under-five clinic. The African man gets this from his parents and forefathers. African men have no idea what it means to be hugged or loved by their own fathers.
8. Little Accountability: The African man is not accountable to anyone or any organization but to his own ego. He does not want to account for his wife’s or girlfriend’s money. Nor his sisters or mothers money. No wonder the African man makes a terrible politician. An African man wants a free spirit that hovers around the world without anyone telling it where to land though it is past its landing time.
9. Poor Cosmetic Hygiene: The African man does not like to smell good. He likes to visit the barber to escort his friend but he does not enjoy a clean cut or shave. He would rather shave his own head even if it makes him look like a peacock. The only time an African man looks good is at weddings. All the while the women in his life wish he could just use some deodorant, perfume and cologne. But in the mind of an African man, these are all eccentrics of feminists.
10. Too Educated: An African man has more degrees than an American, European or a Japanese. African men have scavenged the world for the best education. They have sold their goods and properties, divorced themselves from social networks and relocated thousands of miles away in pursuit of education. But the real question is what has that education done for Africa? Zero. Some men in Africa have a dozen degrees; couple dozen diplomas, three dozen certificates, a thousand certificates of attendance and multiple PhD’s. Did I mention MBA’s? Yet education for an African man is a tool for intimidating others with and a bragging right rather than an inner liberation. One of the reasons the Nobel Prices have fewer African’s and more Europeans and Americas is that Africans are still doing their thesis while the other people are in the laboratory and on the ground putting into practice what they have learn.
CONCLUSION:
This article is not an indictment against all Africans. Africa has produced some fine men and great scholars and parents who have contributed to the well being of society. These men have liberated Africa from its historic shackles; they have fought imperial powers that colonized not only the continent, but the African mind. To these men and women we say thank you.
We still have a long way to go. Our actions and interventions now will ensure that we liberate the next generation.
Human rights in Africa are just another academic work. Women in Zambia for example work long hours; travel long distances to draw water, still carry buckets to the labor ward for disposal or waste. Children across Africa are still child soldiers, street kids, and child fathers and mothers. All this while African leaders (majority of who are men) fly around in luxury, detached from society, content with cheap political mileage and abuse power with impunity.
Systems in Africa abuse women, abuse children and celebrate mediocre men who are otherwise called politicians. Systems in Africa ridicule men who appear like women only because these men care and are connected with their gentle side.
This article is not a slander or an attack on anyone. It is a tool bar being used to open a discussion that African men through their patriarchal leadership have avoided for years. But times have changed and it is time for African men to come clean and address this area of their lives.
Our women are crying and unfortunately our men a deafened by bouncing echoes of their own success. Or is it really success?
The author Mubita C. Nawa admits that he too is an African man who is struggling with his own upbringing.
RECOMMENDATIONS OR SOLUTIONS
1. Interpersonal Skills Training: Men must be taught from an early age what it means to relate to others. It must begin with self relationship. Being in communion with oneself.
2. Redefining Manhood: For generations men have struggled defining who a rue man is. Often the yardsticks are number of children, number of women, and the size of you know what. But time has come to say that a real man is a man whose emotional intelligence is greater than his IQ or even the size of tires on his car. It is time we told men that it is OK to cry.
3. Women must be Women: African men are a bit confused by African women. Women must go back to being mothers, nurturers, guides and gentle souls that men can count on. If our women are misplaced, so too will our men. It is OK for a woman too work, make money, and all. But she must never take the position of a man. She will fail.
4. Dialogue: Men must communicate more. Women must listen too without nagging. Let us talk about where or what we did wrong. Let us talk about it with mutual respect and candor.
5. Fall in Love with Humanity: Men must love their children more than their ‘adult’ toys. Men must love their wives more than their side kicks. Men must love being home more than the sports bar. Men must go back to the basics of life. Men must lead. A true man is a true leader. He is a priest, a prince, and shepherded, a lover and sure enough a man. Men must love people and the process of engaging and interacting with people. That for me is what rocks.

HILARIOUS.....
Women's clothing blamed for earthquakes..
A senior cleric in Iran is putting women to blame for the earthquakes that continue to plague the country.
According to cleric Hojatoleslam Kazem Sedighil, women's sexually provocative clothing and promiscuity are directly causing the natural disasters.
Cleric Sedighil who is the country's acting Friday prayer leader was quoted telling a Tehran publication,
“Many women who do not dress modestly ... lead young men astray, corrupt their chastity and spread adultery in society, which (consequently) increases earthquakes."
Uhhhh sure.
He also adds ,
“ What can we do to avoid being buried under the rubble? There is no other solution but to take refuge in religion and to adapt our lives to Islam's moral codes."
Iran is one of the world's most earthquake prone countries and Seismologists predict that a catastrophic quake will hit the country in the future.
Iranian women are required to cover themselves from head to toe but many younger girls rebel against the rules and wear scarves that show much of their hair and tight coats.
22-year-old Purdue University student Jennifer McCreight heard about Sedighil's comments and staged “Boobquake,” encouraging other women to walk around showing their cleavage to test the cleric's theory.
Boobquake ends later on today.

HOLLYWEIRD FAMOUS SIGN SAVED!
The famous Hollywood sign has been saved from being spoiled by property development by a last-minute donation from Playboy mogul Hugh Hefner.
The soft-porn magnate gave $900,000 (£580,000) to the fund which was set up to stop the site being developed.
The sign is owned by the city, but the property around it belongs to a group of Chicago-based investors.
California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger described the news as "the Hollywood ending we hoped for".
Governor Schwarzenegger said Mr Hefner's donation and a $500,000 matching grant brought to an end a $12.5m fundraising campaign.
'Hollywood's Eiffel Tower'
It means 138 acres around the hillside sign will be protected from developers, who wanted to turn the land into high-price housing estates.
"It's a symbol of dreams and opportunity," Gov Schwarzenegger said.
The investors had planned to sell the land to developers, but agreed to sell to the trust for $12.5m if the money could be raised.
Mr Hefner, who calls the sign "Hollywood's Eiffel Tower", said: "My childhood dreams and fantasies came from the movies, and the images created in Hollywood had a major influence on my life and Playboy."
Donations came from all 50 US states, 10 countries and celebrities, including actor Tom Hanks and director Steven Spielberg.
In February, the sign was draped with a banner which read "Save the Peak", to raise awareness of the campaign.
The Hollywood sign itself, which is set high up in the hills, was initially created in 1923 as an advert for a real estate development called Hollywoodland.
It never faced demolition, but campaigners were worried the famous vista would be ruined by the sight of properties towering over the four-storey high letters.
Chocolate lovers more depressive??? eti???
People who regularly eat chocolate are more depressive, experts have found.
Research in Archives of Internal Medicine shows those who eat at least a bar every week are more glum than those who only eat chocolate now and again.
Many believe chocolate has the power to lift mood, and the US team say this may be true, although scientific proof for this is lacking.
But they say they cannot rule out that chocolate may be a cause rather than the cure for being depressed.
In the study, which included nearly 1,000 adults, the more chocolate the men and women consumed the lower their mood.
Those who ate the most - more than six regular 28g size bars a month - scored the highest on depression, using a recognised scale.
None of the men and women were on antidepressants or had been diagnosed as clinically depressed by a doctor.
'Mood food'
Dr Natalie Rose and her colleagues from the University of California, San Diego, say there are many possible explanations for their findings, and that these need to be explored.
It may simply be that people who are depressed crave chocolate as a "self-treatment" to lift mood, or depression may drive the craving without any beneficial effect.
"Alternatively, analogous with alcohol, there could be short-term benefits of chocolate to mood with longer-term untoward effects," they told the journal.
Chocolate could even be a direct cause of depression, the researchers added.
Bridget O'Connell, of the mental health charity Mind, said: "The way we feel and what we eat can be closely related, and many people will be familiar with craving particular foods or comfort eating when they are stressed, under pressure or depressed.
"However, as this study shows, more research is needed to determine exactly what the relationship between chocolate and our mood is."

Dear GOD I don't wanna complain

All I'm asking for is
One more day one more day
One more day one more day
And when I pray I know you're listening
Cause in my life you've been a blessing
When my roads were blocked you made me see
From the very beginning you were the most encouraging.
I know there's certain things I usually ask for
Like having success and never worry bout paper (Repeat chorus)

I'd forgive those who hurt me
Apologise for the wrongs I did
Spend more time with my family
And try to fix all the wounds unhealed

Shhhhhhh....did someone say Anal Vibrator?
Steven Ferrini, a 60-year-old California man was jailed after he was allegedly carrying drugs and was strapped with an anal vibrator that led to an entire building being evacuated over a bomb scare. Wait, what?
According to the El Dorado County Sheriff’s Office, Ferrini first attracted their attention when he reportedly parked in a no-parking zone at their Lake Tahoe Office.
A search of Ferrini led deputies to find what they believed to be methamphetamine and a “suspicious device” with an on/off switch and a wire leading from his pocket to what appeared to be his anus.
Investigators say deputies originally planned to take Ferrini to Barton Memorial Hospital to have the device removed by medical professionals, but when they interviewed him, he made claims that he had knowledge of explosives and bomb-making.
Police found Ferrini’s comments to be suspicious and contacted the El Dorado County Explosive Ordinance Disposal team and evacuated the CHP office.
EOD had the pleasant task of removing the device from Ferrini themselves, which they determined to be an anal vibrator and not an explosive device. The CHP office was reopened at 9:20 a.m.
Ferrini was booked into the El Dorado County Jail and charged with possession of a controlled substance.
R.I.P Brotha brotha....
Keith Elam (July 17, 1962–April 19, 2010[2]), better known by his stage name Guru, was an American rapper and member of the hip-hop duo Gang Starr. He was born in the Boston neighborhood of Roxbury,. The name Guru is a backronym that stands for Gifted Unlimited Rhymes Universal and the less-often used God is Universal; he is the Ruler Universal, which are both references to the teachings of the Nation of Gods and Earths.
Guru founded Gang Starr in 1987, and built a sizable following in the early 1990s, releasing classic albums such as Step in the Arena (1991) and Daily Operation (1992).
In 1993, he released his first solo album, Jazzmatazz, Vol. 1. The album featured collaborations with Donald Byrd, N'Dea Davenport, and Roy Ayers, while his second LP, Jazzmatazz, Vol. 2: The New Reality, featured Ramsey Lewis, Branford Marsalis and Jamiroquai.
His "first proper solo album", in his own words, was Version 7.0: The Street Scriptures (2005), released with the help of producer and new backup MC Solar (who is not to be confused with MC Solaar from France). The album reached #1 on the college hip-hop charts, but was a failure with both fans and critics. It still managed to sell relatively well for an independent release.
Guru's last projects were the fourth installment in the Jazzmatazz series, entirely produced by Solar, released in early June 2007, and Guru 8.0: Lost And Found, released May 19, 2008 (also in collaboration with Solar). Although there were hopes for a Gang Starr reunion, Guru stated he would not work with DJ Premier again.
Death
On February 28, 2010, Guru went into cardiac arrest and, following surgery, fell into a coma.[ He was said to have woken from the coma but died on April 19, 2010, after a long battle with multiple myeloma.
In a letter allegedly written by Guru on his deathbed, asked that Solar should manage his posthumous image, likeness, etc. on behalf of himself, and his son KC, and wished that DJ Premier not associate himself with Guru.. Members of Guru's family have claimed that Solar prevented contact with him during his fatal illness.
And from his song I am the Man...here are some of the lyrics..
call me guru that's my man premier
Now many attempts have been made to hold us back?
Slander the name and with-hold facts
But i'm the type of brother with much more game
I got a sure aim and if i find you're to blame
You can bet you'll be exterminated, taken out, done
It doesn't matter how many they'll go as easy as just one
Bust one round in the air for this here
Cuz this year suckers are going no where
Cuz my strret style and intelligence level
Makes me much more than just an angry rebel
I'm gifted unlimited rhymes universal
Mc's that ain't equipped get flipped in my circle
I'm aiming on raining on the bitch ass chumps
Cuz their rhymes don't flow and their beats don't pump
And niggaz better know i paid my dues and shit
I'm bout to blow the fuck up because i refuse to quit
I'm out to get the props that are rightfullly mine
Word brotha, only you could spit like that...

Sir Alex Ferguson will quit Manchester United at the end of next season and Jose Mourinho will succeed him, according to reports.
The Daily Star - stick with us for a minute here - claim that Ferguson has decided to quit United after 25 years at the club and that Mourinho has already been lined up to take his place.
The curious thing about this piece of gossip is that the Star do not claim Ferguson is 'set to' or is 'likely to' quit in 2011. They simply say he 'will'.
And they are equally certain that Mourinho, who first mooted the idea of managing at Old Trafford in 2004, will take over from Ferguson.
The Portugueser is currently in charge of Inter Milan but has made it clear that he is unhappy in Italian football.
THIS WAS ON YESTERDAY...
Manchester United have reportedly begun their long-anticipated search for Sir Alex Ferguson's successor after he told the club's board: "One more season and I'm out."
According to The Sun, it is now scheduled that 'Fergie will go in the summer of 2011, six months before his 70th birthday.'
Jose Mourinho remains the clear favourite to take over at Old Trafford, but there are apparently reservations about his candidature within the club because of his reputation for being 'a short-term type of boss who is always looking to the next job.'
Among the other candidates mentioned by The Sun are Barcelona boss Pep Guardiola, England's Fabio Capello, Guus Hiddink, Martin O'Neill and Arsene Wenger.
