Bournemouth set for new leader after porn & Viagra inquiry
A new Bournemouth council leader is to be announced after the previous leader resigned following an inquiry into pornographic images on his laptop.
Councillor Stephen MacLoughlin faces a public hearing next month over the images, although the council took no further action after its own inquiry.
Councillor Peter Charon was appointed leader of the ruling Conservative party on Friday.
The decision to take no further action prompted accusations of double standards, after about 20 employees were sent home "on leave" in March 2009 for sending an explicit joke e-mail about Viagra.

PAIR STOLE £150K IN VIAGRA FRAUD
Office manager Carol Jones stole more than £150,000 from her bosses to fund a luxury lifestyle in a scam dubbed "keeping up with the Joneses".
Although the landscaping company run by her husband Jonathan, a former Tory councillor, was crippled with debt, the pair went on £5,000 Caribbean holidays and funded a £3,250 wedding reception.
They drove a Mercedes and Land Rover, bought designer jewellery and spent £5,000 on granite kitchen worktops plus a plasma TV.
But the scam was uncovered in spring 2007 when her bosses at Pfizer - the drugs firm that makes Viagra - found Jones had been siphoning cash to her husband's firm TIL Developments.
At Manchester Crown Court the couple, of Winsford, Cheshire, who are divorcing, were found guilty of fraud. Carol was jailed for 16 months, her husband got 19.
Det Con Neil Slater, of West Didsbury CID, said: "Their grasping knew no bounds. This wasn't so much keeping up with the Joneses - it was more like the Joneses trying to keep up with everyone else."

Viagra-popping seniors lead the pack for STDs
Even if you're past your prime and have a hard time getting an erection, you might still need to worry about unprotected sex, according to U.S. doctors.
In fact, they report in the Annals of Internal Medicine, the rate of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) in older men taking erectile dysfunction drugs like Viagra is twice as high as in their non-medicated peers.
In both groups, however, the numbers are swelling. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there were more than six new cases of STDs per 10,000 men over 40 in 2008, up almost 50 percent since 1996.
"Younger adults have far more STDs than older adults, but the rates are growing at far higher rates in older adults," said Dr. Anupam B. Jena of Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, who led the study.
While the reasons for this development aren't well understood, he said more divorces and better health might have conspired to boost sexual prowess and activity among graying heads.
The problem, however, is that older adults appear to flout safe sex practices. For instance, the researchers note, 50-year-olds are six times less likely to use a condom than men in their 20s.
"We are typically unaccustomed to practice safe sex over the age of 50, because the risk of pregnancy is eliminated," Jena told Reuters Health.
To test whether the introduction of Viagra in 1998 might explain some of the STD surge, Jena and colleagues examined insurance records for more than 1.4 million U.S. men over 40. The average age in the study was about 60 years.
The most commonly found STD was HIV, followed by chlamydia, syphilis and gonorrhea.
Among the few percent of men who had filled prescriptions for erectile dysfunction drugs, more than two in a thousand had been treated for an STD in the year before they got the drug.
A year later, the number dropped to half that, suggesting that Viagra and its chemical cousins didn't fuel STDs.
However, the risk of contracting an STD turned out to be more than twice as high in men taking erectile dysfunction drugs compared with those who didn't.
"These users have a different sexual risk profile than non-users," said Jena, adding that the data didn't reveal any good explanation.
In an editorial, Dr. Thomas Fekete, of Temple University School of Medicine in Philadelphia, noted that it would have been valuable to know more about the frequency of sexual encounters, sexual partners and orientation.
He added that prevention strategies should still be directed at younger age groups, whose STD risk is at least 10 times higher than in middle-aged and older adults.
Still, he said, the authors remind us "that men older than 40 years remain sexually active, even if they need chemical assistance to do so. This study also serves as a reminder that sex after age 40 years is not necessarily safe."
Jena recommended that doctors take a few minutes to discuss safe sex with older men when they prescribe Viagra.
His advice? "Look, just realize that you are at higher risk for STDs, and try to be careful like you used to be 30 years ago."

Male pattern Baldness
What is male hair loss
Hair loss can affect anyone at any age but is most common in men from 18 – 35. It is caused by male sex hormones called androgens & is usually passed from the parent to the child.
What causes male hair loss?
The male sex hormones (androgens) that are passed through the blood cause male hair loss; they create hair follicles which hair grows from.
When men are sensitive to androgens the hair follicles start to shrink and eventually they become so small hairs are unable to grow from them.
Can male hair loss be prevented?
Male hair loss is very hard to prevent and can only be combated with treatment or surgery from the first signs of balding.
How is male hair loss treated?
Treatments for hair loss are few and far between ranging from expensive f.u.e hair transplants to the commonly used Propecia.
Hair transplants can give an immediate to the person who has one as long as there is enough hair from which the transplant can be taken.
Buy Propecia is an oral medication which is taken daily and has also been proven to stop hair loss & even grow back lost hair.

Ryan Giggs hair reversal.
Ryan Giggs at Manchester Utd is getting on a bit at the age of 36, time is catching up with him & he plays mostly theses day as a sub. But while Giggsy legs are winding down the opposite seems to be happening to his receding hair line.
Ryan has been recently spotted coming out of a well know hair studio, and it is our understanding he has been a bit of a regular there. Over the past few years Ryans hair
Has been moving further down the pitch or shall we say his forehead, but recently it’s seen a bit of a revival.
Sources from the Sun news paper claim that Giggs is taking a combination of Buy Propecia & Regaine also know as Minoxidil.
So far it seems to be work well for Ryan, and more sports stars should come out and admit they have had hair work done.

Big Brother winner says "Go Veggi"
Chantelle Houghton has been chosen to be the new face of the "PETA" campaign to promote vegetarianism.
In one of the adverts Chanetelle is clearly saddened at the thought of eating a giant hot dog although dressed in very raunchy underwear. Also with a caption next to her saying "Eating meat got you down? Fight impotence. Go vegetarian!"
Well for some of the information given I would agree, eating vegetables can help towards a balanced diet weight loss and improve erectile dysfunction.
But I would cut out meat in your diet and expect a similar reaction to Viagra UK
