Manchester United&Everton agree £24m Fellaini fee
Both clubs fully expect Fellaini to join United before the transfer window closes at 11pm, but Leighton Baines' future is looking more uncertain.
Everton value the England left-back at £20m and are continuing to rebuff United's advances, despite the player privately expressing his desire to leave Goodison Park.
Roberto Martinez, the Merseysiders' manager, has been preparing for Fellaini's departure this summer but he is desperate to keep hold of Baines as the 28-year-old is considered vital to the team's style of play.

4 things never to share with your boyfriend
They not only help strengthen your relationship but it also ensures that you have some things only to yourself. Here are a couple of things that you should never share with your partner.
Your girlfriend secrets
This is one of the things that you MUST NEVER share with your boyfriend. Your friends confide in you and expect you to keep that confidence. After all, they do the same for you right? So try and keep their trust intact. Apart from this, guys generally do not understand the kind of talks girls do, so it's best you keep him at bay.
Your password
This is a big NO NO when it comes to sharing something with your boyfriend. Even though you might trust him a lot and also love him beyond words, but there are certain things like passwords that you should never share.
Your dislike for his family
It is best you keep this secret to yourself and not let this one out either to him or your friends. There will always be some who cannot get along well with their boyfriend's mother or sister. You need not tell him this. Not only will it make him sad but it might also ruin your relationship.
Your past….in detail
Well even if you've mentioned about your ex boyfriend to your current one, make sure you do not give out too many details to him. Keep this a secret. It does not mean that you are cheating on him. It just shows that you do not want unnecessary trouble.

5 lies women always tell men
Though a recent study claims that a woman's face is like an open book that reveals her state of mind, but men need to beware!
Better not take it as the last verdict, for irrespectiveof how much you trust and adore your little angel, women do lie to their significant others at times.
Sometimes to carry off a situation without hurting his feelings or to save herself from trouble, while on occasions to contain her emotions and pose as Ms. Goody…popping casual, white lies is no big deal for women when it comes to playing it safe in the relationship.
White lies are no big blunders or massive betrayals, butsmall lies or 'truth manipulated' to handle a situation. At times she might fib to make her man feel better, to avoid a fight, or an embarrassing situation.
Here's a little help so that men can figure out when their adorable darling is not speaking her heart out and help them handle the situation with care…
Lie #1: "Oh! It's fine. I'm OK"
Guards on guys! You must know that she's not fine at all and nothing is OK. And sooner or later you will have to bear the brunt of her pent up emotions that she has somehow managed to hold back until now. You'll find her taking this emotional defense on occasions when you may have forgotten her birthday, taken her for granted or have done anything that hurts her.
"Whenever my girlfriend lets go off my not so fatal error with a cool 'it's fine', I know it's nothing but the calm before a cyclone that I am fated to face in the time to come," shares Sandeep Sharma, a Delhi-based management student.
To portray that she doesn't care, the emotional lady prefers taking a refuge in this lie. Charu Marwah, a software engineer admits, "I prefer staying that 'It's OK' because if I react I'll be blamed of being a constant cribber, who is in complaining mode always. Though, I actually want him to go down on his knees and plead forgiveness."
Lie detector: Well, an experienced lover would know of the crime that he has committed, but the amateurs should look out for her reactions. She might not get vocal, but will do everything to make you feel guilty about the fact that you have hurt her. From being tight-lipped to giving the briefest responses that don't go beyond 'hmms, huhs or yes and no', to mean tones and loads of sarcasm – are a few hints that you can look out for. "Women have a tendency of expecting their man to understand the said, as wellas the unsaid, and that leaves men in a dicey situation. And even here, by keeping quite or going away with asmall 'I'm fine', she expects him to know that she's hurt," explains psychologist, Dr. Aruna Broota.
Lie # 2: "I love you for what you are"
…and I don't want you to change. Well, may God be your saviour if you believe her for this. No wonders, ifsheer pampering or impressing you might strictly be on her mind when she's saying this. "I just loved my wife whenever she averred this phrase. But graduallythe knick-picking started and reality dawned upon me. At times it was my eating choice that bugged her, while at others it was my dressing style that she wanted to improve. Yet she continued to tell the blatant lie that she loved me for what I was," complained Madhukar Suhas, a Mumbai-based advertising professional.
Agreed, that you don't like this lie. But just imagine how it would feel if on your face she told you much she hated your paunch or how bad you looked in those lose-fitted denims. Thank her appreciating you taking care of your confidence levels.
"What do I do? I have to blow his trumpet when he does the right thing. After all, it was his qualities only that I married him for. And also, it becomes important to boost his confidence at times and those words just have the right impact," says Madhu Chandra, a Delhi-based-teacher.
Lie detector: If you start observing the occasions when she backs this mushy phrase, you might just realise she's not lying at all. On most of the occasions it comes when you have made her happy with anything like a gift, a movie, a romantic dinner or for that matter by doing anything and everything that sheloves. You were good to her and that's your innate quality, which made her fall for you.
Lie # 3: You stare, I don't care!
Either you are too lucky to have the coolest woman by your side, or you are getting an inflated ego without any reason if you believe her on this. No matter how hard she tries to look cool and composed, but the fact remains that no woman loves it when her man ogles at another woman. "After all, who wants to feel like second best? And the 'I don't care attitude' is usually to hide the vulnerability and a pretence. Most women hate their man staring at another woman," confesses Radhika Khattar, a Delhi-based housewife.
Lie detector: She doesn't want to show you how she's feeling and is no less desperate to tell you that you are torturing her to the core. Well, easy indications to know she's lying can be the trail of questions she'll end up asking you. Casually and candidlyshe'll ask you things like 'Isn't she hot?' 'What makes her so hot? 'Did you like her?' She might appear to beyour best buddy, but actually she wants to ask you, 'Do I score less that the chic you are ogling at?' And your answer will decide your fate not immediately, but definitely in the future, so better beware of what you say!
Lie # 4: Your friends are cool!
This might not be a lie always, but many a times your friends are nothing but a 'passion spoiler' for your girl, especially when they pop up during private moments. "When we started dating, on many occasions we went out with my friends. And every time I used to ask her, 'I hope you are enjoying?' she answered, 'They're cool!' The real shock came when one day I was planning another group date and she gave me a good piece of her mind. It's then that I realised that she didn't love them as much I thought she did. But shecould have initially told me," says Rajat Sarin, a 20-year-old college student.
"Most of the times women end up praising your friends for you. They don't want to hurt you by revealing the truth and hope that you'll understand without saying, which usually doesn't happen," explains psychologist, Dr Sameer Parekh.
Lie detector: A sure shot hint to the lie is written on her face. Despite being in the group she'll remain an outsider. The smile that's usually worth a million dollars might just look purely artificial and forced. Her replies to all your enquiries will end in a cover up lie, 'I'm fine sweet heart' or 'I'm enjoying myself' and that takes you to Lie #1. So, when you get something like this from your girl, understand that you are getting into too much buddy-bonding!
Lie # 5: Tell me, trust me I won't get angry
This one is tricky, leaving you with a ditch on one side and a bigger ditch on the other. This lie is usually thrown at you when she wants an honest opinion and knows what it can be, but still wants to hear it. Beware guys! Irrespective of what you say, she is going to get furious for sure. This usually happens in questions related to her looks, the food that she cooks, that tangy orange shirt she brought for you etc.
"Sometimes it is tough to handle. Once, my wife asked my honest opinion on a super tight dress that she had worn. And, I told her honestly that she was looking like a stuffed pillow and she was mad at me. Taking cues from my past experience; on another occasion I did my best to flatter her. To my sheer surprise, even that made her angry and she blamed me for not being a fair critic," complains Suraj Malhotra, a Delhi-based architect.
Lie detector: Well, there's no detector for this one, for undoubtedly she's lying. Then what's the solution?Answers Parekh, "It's not that women cannot take true criticism from their man or expect praises all the time. But what they actually expect is that criticism should come in a softer and suggestive manner, rather than a striking taunt on her looks. So, without being too critical or over flattering, just tell her that she needs to work out on her minuses."
PHEW! This was from us. Now it's your turn to sharethe sweet and salty white lies that you tell your man or your wife pours on you to leave you playing a guessing game of truth and false.

Signs that she is cheating on you
Firstly, phone calls – any change in phone calls includingfrequency of calls, time of day, tone of voice or a change in text messaging habits could all signify that she is cheating. When she answers the phone, does she drop her volume or suddenly sound as flirtatious as she did when you were first dating?
If it seems like her phone habits are changing and you cannot understand the changes, you may be witnessing an affair.
Secondly, dates with girlfriends - is she spending more time with her girlfriends than in the past? Are there many evenings out with the girls, when there were almost none just a short while ago? When you ask her who she will be with, does her answer soundsincere?
If any of these scenarios ring a bell, your wife or girlfriend may be going out, but not with the girls. If she was not socializing with her friends with the same frequency that she is now, that is a sign. If she is doing different things than she did with the girls in the past, that is a good indication that all is not what it seems.
Thirdly, showering at the gym or work – does she come home freshly showered, when in the past she did not shower during the day? Does she seem to be going to the gym more often than she used to?
There are two parts to this one. The gym excuse could be legitimate; it just might be that she is going there more frequently. The problem is that she might be working out more to impress her new love interest. And if she is not in need of her usual shower at night, chances are she is showering after an afternoon of steamy sex, followed by a steamy shower.
Fourthly, cologne – does she ever smell of different cologne, one that is more masculine than hers? Do you ever comment on the new scent she is wearing, only to find that she does not apply the same scent at home?
It could be that the new scent is not hers, but his. Do you by any chance recognize the scent as one you might have tried in the past? Do you recognize it as a scent one of your friends wears?
Fifthly, eye contact – has she stopped making eye contact when answering questions about where shehas been and what she has been doing? Does she avoid looking you straight in the eye, when that was not an issue before?
For most people, it is very challenging to look someonewho knows you very well in the eye and tell an out-and-out lie. If your wife or girlfriend is lying to you, there is a very good likelihood that she will be looking anywhere but into your eyes when she does.
Next, alcohol and other substances – is she drinking outside the home at odd times or more than before? Have you suspected drug use, where there was none before? Does she ever smell of cigarettes, even though she doesn't smoke?
If you are seeing any of these scenarios, there is probably a partner in crime. Sex, drugs and rock and roll all go together, as does alcohol, and could all be indulged in during a tryst. If she smells of cigarettes and she does not smoke, you can bet that he does. You know, almost certainly, that someone else is influencing her choices if these behaviours are taking place when they were not happening before.
Lastly, sexual deviations – does she want sex less often than usual? Does she seem to just be going through the motions? Is she asking for things you never did before or teaching you new tricks?
Any extreme variances in sexual behaviour are possible indications that there is a new influence in herlife. While there are other possible circumstances, themost likely scenario is that she is getting fulfilled outside of the relationship or realizing that there are new and different things that she enjoys and is bringing them into your bed.

7 Relationship tips for women
Where is your relationship heading? You share a great chemistry with your boyfriend and are dating for a long time. Yet, do you find it difficult to pin down exactly what your guy is getting at? Is he interested in taking the relationship to the next level? Check out these 'firsts' which act as milestones in your relationship.
1. He introduces you as his girlfriend
If you have been going around for some time and he, one day, just introduces you very comfortably to his friendssaying, "Meet my girlfriend," it's a milestone. It means he has accepted you as an integral part of his life. Malini Shah, counselor and psychologist, explains, "Men normally do not want to give instant commitment so when he introduces you as 'his girlfriend' means he is comfortable about his friends knowing your importance in his life. They consider their friends' opinion important. This shows a sense of acceptance for you and a commitment to let the relationship moveahead."
2. You have a big fight… and make up
Familiarity leads to fights and all couples have fights — nasty ones with abuses and allegations. There is something to be learnt about your relationship after the fight. When a couple makes up after a fight, it shows that the partners want to resolve issues and continue. Clinical psychologist Saloni Sawnani says, "What makes these relationships strong for a lifetimeis that no matter how major the argument there is alwaysresolution and compromise. When the same happens in your relationship a sense of permanency sets in. Then you can be quite certain it is for keeps."
3. You show your disapproval for
something
You hate cricket but pretend to follow it just for your boyfriend. If this has been going on for months, and one fine day you lose it and scream, "I just hate this game!" Be ready for the guy to scream back thathe doesn't like your chicken biryani (though he loved it last week). Consider this a turning point. Shah explains,"The first phase of the relationship is rosy. The real test is when you start speaking up frankly and that isthe phase of acceptance. In this phase, you want the other person to accept you as well as be your own self in different situations. The Reiss WheelTheory of Love states that the second phase is when the worst in people shows up. Things such as their limitations and how the other person takes it calls whether you want to continue or give up."
4. You attend a wedding together
If a guy agrees to accompany you to a friend's wedding, he is showing another 'first'. Watching your friend taking her wedding vows brings you closer as acouple as it sets the man thinking. Shah says, "Attending social functions together signifies making arelationship public. It also builds dreams of staying together and how you want to go about it. Attending any serious function together means the relationship is actually moving from being carefree to committed."
5. You realise he is very important
As a couple, you may be with each other for a year or three years and when you look back, your best memories are of you both together. The realisation that you have had some of the best times together isa great one. Sawnani says, "It's a very strange and nice feeling when you realise that even though the quantum of time spent with someone maybe lesser than the time spent with family or others, the contentment is a lot more. We all know that sometimes an hour feels like a minute and sometimes like a whole day… It is when the togetherness moments start becoming important that you take therelationship to the next level." 6 You visit his house, meet the family When the guy invites you over to his place, it's a huge milestone. He could also agree to come to your place to meet your family. Inviting you over means he wants to let you into his world and meet his folks. Shah explains, "Meeting your family shows he is serious about you. When he invites you over, he wants his family to see you and expects you to bond with his family. He is making you aware of his home life, traditions, culture, family environmentand habits. In short, he is giving you a microscopic viewof his own life, his beliefs of family structures and wants to know what you feel about it."
7. You face tragedy together
Being together means facing situations together, and this could include a tragedy. Death, financial difficulties,job issues, problems with family are the things a couple face. When the guy just wants to be with you in a difficult time, he is ready to commit. Shah says, "In a relationship, there is a need for emotional security and bonding. This can be shown by either partner by being there — just standing with them or holding hands. This stage conveys a deeper level of relating to each other and also the security someone is there with them. It shows that the relationship has reached an emotional maturity by handling the strong emotions of each other in a balanced healthy way. This cements the relationship."

Official: AC Milan sign Kaka
AC Milan have announced on their official website that they have secured the services of Kaka from Real Madrid.
Following long negotiations into the early hours of Monday morning in the Spanish capital between Adriano Galliani and Kaka's representatives, a deal was struck that sees the Brazilian arrive on a free transfer on a contract until 2015, with only performance-related incentives due to Madrid.
The 31-year-old will earn €4 million net per season at Milan and is set to fly to Milan's Linate Airport on Monday morning to undergo a medical.
Kaka previously wore the Milan jersey from 2003 until 2009, winning one Serie A title as well as the Champions League during his first spell at the club.
The former Sao Paulo youngster then left the club for Real Madrid, but never really managed to live up to the high expectations at the Liga giants as he mainly warmed the bench at the Santiago Bernabeu.
He announced last week that he wanted to leave Madrid this summer and has now gotten his desired transfer back to Milan.

‘Walking’ shark discovered in Indonesia
The brown and white bamboo shark pushes itself along the ocean floor as it forages for small fish and crustaceans at night, said Conservation International, whose scientists were involved in its discovery.
The shark, which grows to a maximum length of just 80 centimetres (30 inches) and is harmless to humans, was discovered off Halmahera, one of the Maluku Islands that lie west of New Guinea.
Bamboo sharks, also known as longtail carpet sharks, are relatively small compared to their larger cousins, with the largest adult reaching only about 120 centimetres (47 inches) in length.
They have unusually long tails that are bigger than the rest of their bodies and are found in tropical waters around Indonesia, Australia and Papua New Guinea.
Conservation International said the discovery of the shark, which was first disclosed in the International Journal of Ichthyology, "should help draw diver interest to this mega-diverse but largely undiscoveredregion".
Ketut Sarjana Putra, Indonesia country director for the group, said the Hemiscyllium halmahera shark could "serve as an excellent ambassador to call public attention to the fact that most sharks are harmless to humans and are worthy of our conservation attention".
Conservation International, whose scientists discovered the shark along with colleagues from the Western Australian Museum, added it came at a time when Indonesia was increasing its efforts to protectshark and ray species.

SHOCKING: Swallowed Fisherman Fighting His Way Out Of Shark
Desperate fight for survival? A picture appears to show a man swallowed whole by a shark frantically trying to release himself by forcing his arm through the creature's gills and stabbing it in the head.
Presumably still alive inside the shark's stomach,he is able to plunge the knife into the its head in a desperate fight for survival.
In fact the photo has proved to be quite stomach-churning for all who see it for the first time when they walk into the Metung Hotel, in the Gippsland region of Victoria. But all is not as it seems.
The unnamed fisherman did catch the shark and he did end up in its stomach. But first he made sure the shark was very dead before hegutted it and then crawled inside its body to prepare for a prank photo that would be taken by one of his friends.
The dramatic part came when he then pushed his tattooed arm out through the shark's gills and pretended to be fighting for his life by stabbing the killer fish in the head.
Locals, said radio host John Burns of Melbourne's 3AW, who was sent a copy of the photo, refer to the fisherman as the Shark Slayer.
"This fellow has decided as a jape to climb inside the shark with a knife, put his hand through the gills of the shark and pretended tostab it between the eyes,"Mr Burns told his listeners today.
He then went on to describe the reaction of one pair of visitors.
"An American couple have turned up at the Metung Hotel to see this photo (on the wall) and their immediate response from the wife was "Did he survive?" said Mr Burns.
The fisherman happened to be standing behind the couple at the time. Although his response isnot known, the Americans might have had the shock of their lives if he'd said: "Yes, I did!"

No Freedom of Speech in the PG Era
Bryan eventually became upset and slapped the microphone from Stephanie’s hand before being escorted from the ring by security, but not without first saying the word Stephanie reminded him of began with a “B.”
Despite the fact that the segment was engaging and entertaining, I could not help but think back to the Attitude Era, realizing just how limited the writers are now that the WWE has toned down its content. Instead of having Bryan do something that was actually provocative, we are supposed to accept that knocking the microphone from her hand and saying she reminded him of a word that begins with “B” (perhaps he meant beautiful, but that seems highly unlikely for a number of reasons) is some act of grand defiance.
Had the same segment occurred with Stone Cold Steve Austin during the Attitude Era, Austin would have called her a bitch, stunned her, showered her in a Steveweiser, and walked out of the arena flipping off the crowd with security at his side. Obviously this is no longer the image the WWE is trying to portray, but it would be much more entertaining if fans could turn back the clock a decade and a half.
So, as the WWE revives The Corporation angle they have relied upon in the past, it has to make one wonder how far they can really take it with the current state of WWE writing. If they want Bryan to be the new Austin, it will be hard to portray him as a badass when he isn’t even allowed to say bitch on television. That doesn’t necessarily mean I’m advocating the revival of the Attitude Era. Maybe I’m just a disgruntled old fan who grew up watching wrestling during the 90’s reliving the glory days. Nonetheless, no matter how one may feel about the current state of the WWE and its writing style, it is almost impossible to deny how limited the writers are with what they can do on television during the PG Era.
