A good thing:

Ireland will devote €2 million of its €31.3 million aid budget for Tanzania to nutrition this year as part of a joint initiative with the US.

A bad thing:

The global shortage of health workers is estimated at 4.2 million by the World Health Organization (WHO), but the migration of doctors, nurses, midwives and pharmacists from poor to rich countries means the shortfall is not evenly distributed - of the 57 nations identified as having reached a crisis point, 36 are in sub-Saharan Africa.

A thing to change:

Tomorrow the Australian Senate will debate the National Radioactive Waste Management Bill. The Traditional Owners of the site in the bill, the Muckaty Land Trust are deeply divided over this issue. A Federal Court case contesting the nomination and selection process has been brought by some of these traditional owners. This case has not yet been heard. Ask the Senate to wait until the case has been heard before they consider the bill: http://www.oxfam.org.au/act/take-action/close-the-gap/2011-06-stop-parliamentary-debate-on-radioactive-waste-legislation

Lindsay Lohan & Ashley Greene Take Milan Fashion Week By Storm

Milan was the place to be over the weekend as Fall Fashion Week roared through the city. Clive Owen kicked things off solo on Friday at Emporio Armani before he joined up with Julianne Moore at the Bulgari Chandra party. Ashley Greene popped up in a variety of dresses, attending Giorgio Armani on Saturday with Clive and Gucci with Rachel Zoe. 

Lindsay Lohan, meanwhile, spent her evening celebrating the launch of Vogue Italia's new website with editor Franca Sozzani, Claire Danes, and more. Yesterday brought Ashley Greene out for Dolce & Gabbana, while Lindsay Lohan cozied up to Roberto Cavalli at his show and afterparty. Elisabetta Canalis, the face of Roberto's underwear line, left George Clooney's side long enough to meet with the designer, then went back to her man.

Lindsay, who was back in the USA just last week stalking Samantha Ronson and partying her brains out, didn't waste any time once in Milan. She gallivanted around the city, palling around with Courtney Love and swapping spit with Roberto Cavalli himself. 

The girl is a hot mess! Rumor has it that she actually cancelled a scheduled appearance at the Pure nightclub in Vegas once she heard she was invited to party in Milan with the fashion folk. 

Lohan, who recently poured her heart out to The Sun while in London a few weeks back, claims to be getting her life back on track, but her friends insist the truth is anything but.
