Annan warns of 'all-out' sectarian war in Syria
By REUTERS
Qatar PM says int'l peace envoy should set time limit for his mission; Syrian rebels kill 14 soldiers in Deraa, Damascus.
DOHA - International peace envoy Kofi Annan warned on Saturday that Syria was slipping into "all-out" war, and a Syrian opposition figure said Russia had become part of the problem and should urge President Bashar Assad to quit power.
"The specter of an all-out war, with an alarming sectarian dimension, grows by the day," Annan told a meeting of members of the Arab League, co-sponsor with the United Nations of a peace plan aimed at ending the bloodshed in Syria.
Burhan Ghalioun of the Syrian National Council, the divided body claiming to speak for political opposition to Assad, said: "With its support of the regime and for Assad remaining, Russia has become part of the problem rather than part of the solution. If it cooperates to find a formula that makes Assad leave, it will become part of the solution."
Prime Minister Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim al-Thani of Qatar - which has backed arming Sunni Muslim insurgents fighting to topple Assad, a member of Syria's minority Alawite sect - said Annan should set a time limit for his mission.
He also called on the UN Security Council to put Annan's plan - based on a ceasefire that has yet to take hold, and that is meant to lead to a negotiated end to the Syrian crisis - under Chapter 7 of the UN charter, a measure that could authorise the use of force.
"We want the Security Council to refer the six-point (Annan) plan to a Chapter 7 resolution. We, the international community, cannot accept the situation to continue as it is," he said.
The fighting continued on Saturday as Syrian rebels fighting to oust Assad killed six soldiers in the southern province of Deraa and at least eight others in clashes on the outskirts of the capital Damascus, a monitoring group reported.
"There were heavy clashes between Syrian forces and fighters from the opposition in (Deraa)... resulting in the death of at least 6 Syrian troops," the British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said in a statement.
"At dawn, there were violent clashes in al-Ghouta (near Damascus), killing at least eight Syrian troops," it added.
The Observatory said that two civilians were also killed on Saturday, one during army raids in Damascus and one by gunfire in the central city of Homs, where activists say the army has been waging a shelling offensive on opposition districts.

Happy birthday, Eloise!
A year ago this morning, Wendy and I drove to Cedars in the dark--wondering if the snapping sound and subsequent leakage from her pregnant tummy meant anything. Sure enough, out came Eloise five weeks early.
So much has happened since then, I can barely recall what it was like before I was a parent. I'm sure Wendy can't remember what it was like before pumping and feeding... The biggest changes for me have probably been in scheduling: no more late nights at the GR office and having to be ready to jump out of bed any time after 6:30 in the morning. I've always had a pretty even temperament, so the nurturing and playing has been easy and fun. Oh yeah, there's also the warm, gushy feeling I get when I come home and she can't stop shaking her hands with excitement.
Eloise wants to talk and walk so badly. I'm going to miss her babbling and crawling after me, but it's exciting to see her wave, point at her feet, and bonk her head during strategic parts of books when I read to her. Culinary breakthroughs have included sharing our first slice of pizza at Angelyn's house, introducing her to hummus at Zankou, and witnessing her really get into blueberries at The Waffle. This week she'll attend her first rock show at Amoeba, an art show at GR2, and yet another dinner at gr/eats with her cousins. Where we go from here, I can only guess.

The father of a 3-month-old boy who died after being locked in a hot car while the father smoked marijuana pleaded not guilty to manslaughter and child abuse charges Monday.
Daniel Bryant Gray, 31, entered the plea in Maricopa County Superior Court.
Gray is accused of smoking marijuana with another person and lost track of time while his son, Jamison Gray, sat in the hot car outside of BT's Sports Pub near Scottsdale and Thunderbird roads for about an hour Aug. 28, Phoenix police Sgt. Tommy Thompson said.
Gray took the unresponsive child into the bar, where he is a kitchen manager, and called 911 just before noon, Thompson said.
Gray and the first officer to arrive at the scene tried to revive the child before an ambulance arrived, Thompson said.
Gray initially told police he stopped at the bar to check on the business and that he got distracted, but investigators later developed information that led them to believe Gray and a companion were smoking pot while the child sat alone in the car in the parking lot, Thompson said.
The temperature at nearby Scottsdale Airport was 102 degrees at noon on Aug. 28.
A relative of Jamison Gray established a memorial fund in his name at themamacurd.blog.com.

Libertarian political consultant Roger Stone has had a falling out with a Florida medical-marijuana group and accused it Tuesday of acting like a front for Democrat Charlie Crist if he decides to run for governor next year.
"No Republicans or Democrats who aren't supporting Charlie Crist need apply," Stone wrote on his Stone Zone blog Tuesday, noting Crist works for the head of People United for Medical Marijuana.
PUFMM's de facto manager, Ben Pollara, denied Stone's claims as "untrue" and disputed his interpretation of the proposed constitutional amendment as well.
"Roger is a complicated character as you know," Pollara said, declining to discuss the falling out with the libertarian consultant once known for being a GOP dirty-trickster.
Stone's criticism comes at a tough time for PUFMM, which is struggling to collect more than 683,000 valid voter petitions in just a few months in order to make the 2014 ballot.
With petition-gathering as a focus, Pollara said, the group has rebuffed paying consultants from all ends of the political spectrum, including Stone, because "we're on a shoestring budget."
Cathy and Robert Jordan of Parrish said Florida Can, their medical marijuana organization lobbying for state legalization of cannabis, has been working with PUFFMM to help reach the petition-gathering goal.
"We knew it would be difficult to obtain so many signatures in such a short amount of time," Cathy Jordan said.
Florida Can will be gathering signatures from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday on the Causeway, she said. If this effort falls short, she said, another bill will be introduced in the House this fall.
Polls indicate Crist would be the toughest opponent for Republican Gov. Rick Scott. An early poll by PUFMM indicated medical marijuana could be a significant issue in the governor's race and could help a candidate who embraces it. Scott is opposed.
In all, two PUFMM surveys from different pollsters and one by an independent group, found about seven in 10 Florida voters would likely back the type of medical-marijuana amendment proposed. It takes 60 percent voter approval to pass a Florida constitutional amendment.
"We've had 70 percent of Floridians in three different polls who said they support it," Pollara said. "This is not a partisan issue, and both Democrats and Republicans have been quite cowardly with this issue."
Stone, an early backer of the legalization effort, wrote he noticed a change in PUFMM after it was taken over by trial lawyer John Morgan, a major Democratic fundraiser who employs Crist in his legal office.
Since then, Stone wrote, it's tough to get a phone call returned. He said a handful of top Florida Republicans who might have been interested in working for the PUFMM group were given the cold shoulder.
One of those Republicans, consultant Brian Hughes, said he was concerned Stone was overhyping his involvement.
He expressed some displeasure with Stone for dragging him into the fight publicly: "Any characterization by Roger Stone is influenced by Roger's heightened sense of imagination and hubris."
Hughes said he barely spoke with Stone about the effort, talked to no one affiliated with PUFMM and wasn't "stiff-armed or brushed off by anyone. A few conversations with a person does not a client relationship make."
Hughes said he wouldn't work for the PUFMM group anyway because he believes the proposed amendment is too broadly written for conservatives to stomach. The amendment does not clearly prohibit a physician from recommending marijuana to anyone who has a condition that's not seriously debilitating or gravely ill.
"It's a loser of an issue if it takes Florida down the road of where these other states have gone. That language is why California got to where it did," Hughes said. "This current effort exceeds what people are interested in doing. For its lack of vision and apparent political motivations, it's the wrong thing at the wrong time."
Pollara insisted the amendment is tightly drafted and the effort isn't being done to help Democrats or Crist. Pollara noted PUFMM hired a Republican firm, National Voter Outreach, to collect petition signatures.
Stone said he wants to decriminalize marijuana for sick people. But he faulted the proposed amendment because it doesn't go far enough and explicitly allow people to grow marijuana privately. Without that provision, he said, Florida lawmakers will ignore the amendment if passed and people will struggle to get the help they need.
"Under the Morgan proposal if (when) Florida's notoriously right wing Legislature refuses to authorize the opening of dispensaries, those who are sick or dying can... sue," Stone wrote. The amendment doesn't affect federal law, which still holds marijuana illegal. Nevertheless, 20 states have so far decriminalized marijuana -- most often for medical use.

A Nevada woman was sentenced on Wednesday to 49 years in state prison for a fatal shooting that took place in Altadena in 2007.
She had argued the shooting was in self-defense, but jurors voted to convict her on charges of second-degree murder, kidnapping, and child endangerment.
Dean and her girlfriend, Vanessa Marie Ochoa, were attempting to take Ochoa's child from his father's home on Canyon Dell Drive in Altadena and bring him back to Las Vegas to live with Ochoa. Monroe Miles, the child's uncle, was watching the boy, and a conflict broke out over whether the child would go with the pair or not.
As Dean and Ochoa attempted to leave with the child, Miles got physical with Ochoa, according to testimony in the case. Dean's lawyer argued that she thought she feared for her life and shot Miles in self-defense
Ochoa pleaded guilty to all three counts after striking a deal with the prosecution in 2010, and was sentenced on Monday.

In my observations,in a vast majority of saving "old" buildings for posterity results in another burden for the taxpayer. If the owner of a "historic" building wants it preserved , let him pay for it !!October 6, 2010 at 11:10 a.m.
Holly1,October 6, 2010 at 9:33 a.m.
Since,as you write,an owner is limited to what can be done with a structure once it is listed as a historic building,are there any advantages to being on this list? Can you get your building "unlisted"? I know very little of this issue is why I am asking. I do hate to see old buildings wit character demolished and a "McBuillding" put in it's place.
Patrick T. Barnes
""The 60-day moratorium will give us time to evaluate a structure and see whether or not it should be saved," Dunnam said"
Who is the "US" in the above statment. The City? if so who or VPI Oh my GodOctober 6, 2010 at 7:07 a.m.
For the second time I again ask the advocate to put the ordance online for all to seeOctober 6, 2010 at 7 a.m.
SO ... If you tear down your own house, on your own property, What happens to you? Fine? How much? Public service? What? Jail time?October 6, 2010 at 4:54 a.m.
We must preserve our historic building and wannabe politico's rap sheets.October 5, 2010 at 11:08 p.m.
1 final thing. Once listed as a historic building an owner is very limited in how he can use his property and must follow very strict guide lines on what materials and colors can be used in any restoring work done on his building. It must conform to period and style including types of materials and construction methods. Historic buildings can not be remodeled they must be restored to keep the historic value of the building.October 5, 2010 at 9:46 p.m.
Here we go again the gov't telling us what we can do with our own property!!!! What gives them the right to do this??? what if I want to tear down a building that they want to save??? Will they buy it for the price that it would be worth with a new modern building on it??? IMO the gov't is violating the rights of the owner to do what he wants to do with HIS OWN PROPERTY. What will be next will they start forcing owners to RESTORE the building using methods of construction used when it was built??? (lathe and plaster, ornate woodwork, wall paper or other things) These things COST way more than modern methods. The same job remodeling a old building to meet modern codes can also be costly. Sometimes it is way cheaper to demolish a building and build a new building than it is to restore an old one.
Another thing to consider is the health risks posed by some of the materials used to build the old buildings ( lead paint, asbestos, mercury, and a host of other toxic and harmful materials that have been banned from use.) Abatement of these materials to remove the health risks is very expensive.
So I say NO to the govt having this kind of control over what a person can do with private properties. This power could be abused by petty officials with a grudge or one that believes all old buildings should be saved.October 5, 2010 at 9:38 p.m.
"The 60-day moratorium will give us time to evaluate a structure and see whether or not it should be saved," Dunnam said."
And if it is worthy of saving, and the owner is not able to financially invest, then what?
If the ordinance is not designed to prevent demolition, then it sounds like it is a couple of folks, or maybe just Gary Dunnam, giving an opinion.
So, I ask again, then what?
I'd like to know what the ordinance says when there is conflict between the owner and the evaluator.
And how can the second reading also serve as the third reading?October 5, 2010 at 8:48 p.m.

They exploded in open areas
and failed to cause injury or damage.
The assessment in the IDF's
Northern Command is that none of the mortars were deliberately fired at
The Syrian civil war has frequently spilled over into Israeli
territory over the past two years, with mortar shells hitting Israeli territory
and wounded Syrians being admitted to Israel for medical treatment.
Syrian babies were allowed to enter Israel for medical treatment early on
Thursday morning. The 10- month-old and one-year-old were admitted to Western

Drivers in downtown Sioux City can get ready for a summer of extra turns. The full detour along Gordon Drive officially started today in downtown Sioux City. The construction has been in progress for months, inconveniencing residents and local businesses.
One local business said their customers didn't realize they were still open. "We're going to talk to our marketing lady and just do some coupons maybe saying 'Hey, even through the construction we're still going to be open.' We're going to maybe add another open sign and just do some things so people actually know we're still open," said Missy Krusemark of Scooter's Coffee at the intersection of Gordon Drive and Nebraska Street.The detour reroutes eastbound drivers from Gordon Drive onto Nebraska Street. From there, drivers take 3rd Street, then take a right onto Court Street before finally making it back to Gordon just before the Viaduct.
The reconstruction is part of the Iowa Department of Transportation's expansion of Interstate 29, and is expected to last through the summer.

Neil Gaiman reinvents the fearsome Cybermen and gets Doctor Who back on track
Last week, I was very down on the current season of Doctor Who, and I wondered if the wounds ran so deep that a decent comeback for the season was impossible. There were only two episodes left and the main supporting character (Clara) was still an unknown. Her lack of character progression was holding the show back.
However, legendary science fiction and fantasy writer Neil Gaiman penned this episode, and his only previous work on the series is one of my favorite episodes, "The Doctor's Wife." The episode also featured Warwick Davis, and Willow makes everything better.
The duo didn't disappoint. "Nightmare in Silver" is the best episode of the season so far, and Gaiman hit some important notes that I'm hoping will strengthen the show in the long run.
A resurgent Clara
I was pretty clear about my disdain for Clara Oswin Oswald in my previous Doctor Who piece, but this was her strongest episode yet. In previous episodes her character felt hollow, and she lacked any sort of influence over the scenes she was in. A character with no agency is boring.
Gaiman made the decision to separate Clara and the Doctor in this episode to allow Clara more time to grow on her own. It was a great success, and she felt more natural and respectable in this episode than in any other. Gaiman even made her feel believable in her role as a deputized leader of a planetary defense force, an impressive feat considering Clara's Earthly occupation as a childcare professional.
Her decisions and actions flowed naturally from her personality. When she bosses around a group of soldiers, it felt believable, stemming from her tendency to follow strict orders from the Doctor. The Doctor told her to keep these grunts in check and so that is precisely what she does.
She never loses the few qualities I've always liked about her in the process. Gaiman adds to her usual repertoire of humor and faithfulness with wonderful new qualities like intelligence, bravery, and cleverness. Where before she was standing behind the Doctor asking what she should do, here she was commanding a platoon to set-up an Alamo-style defense against an army of Cybermen.
"Nightmare in Silver" was still just a one-off like every other episode this season, but it's a masterful one-off.
Hail Gaiman, savior of the Cybermen
Gaiman's chief triumph is the return of the Cybermen, both literally and figuratively. The Cybermen have been one of the chief villains of the modern incarnation of the series, but they've been beaten so many times that they were starting to look like chumps. How many times can the toughest guy in the room get beat up before people stop believing he's the toughest guy in the room? The Cybermen were taken down by Mickey's alternate universe guerrilla group, whooped by the Daleks, and even blown up by a father's love for his son. Not so intimidating anymore.
This episode essentially reboots Cyberman lore, and reforges them as an incredibly intimidating fighting force. They're remade into a bogeyman so fearsome that it's best just to implode the entire planet the second you find one. In the new tale of their origin, we're told that an entire galaxy had to be destroyed in order to stop their inevitable advance.
Gaiman and show runner Steven Moffat were reportedly attempting to confront the Cybermen's increasing wimpification, and they've done a phenomenal job. It's a standalone episode, so of course the Doctor wins the day, but without giving too much away: the Cybermen are never actually defeated in the strictest sense. They are now fast, fearsome, intelligent, and a much more well-rounded antagonist.
Gaiman's achievements with the plot of this episode are so strong that it's easy to forget about Warwick Davis as the lovable grunt worker Porridge. In any other episode he would have stolen the show, but Gaiman used him sparingly. It was a good choice.
I'm finally excited about Doctor Who again. After a fairly long drought this episode has me charged up for the season finale next week. I'm still not sold on Clara, but I hope future episodes follow Gaiman's example. The final episode, "The Name of the Doctor" is the big payoff. We've been told for the last eight episodes that the true identities of both Clara and the Doctor are shocking and interesting, and I hope they're able to make good on that promise.

Almost every day recently, the Celtics have gotten positive news about their chances of making it to the Eastern Conference finals. First, Chicago, a formidable foe, was instantly transformed into a good-but-not-great virtual non-contender by the season-ending injury to Derrick Rose. (Btw, it was predictable that it would happen eventually, from the number of times and violence with which Rose throws his body at defenses.)
Next, Josh Smith sprained his knee. Even a mild sprain will not be 100% in time to help the Hawks win round 1 -- not that they had much of a shot anyway given the prior injuries to Horford and Pachulia.
At the same time, the Cs pulled out a great win in Atlanta without Rondo or Ray, proving to themselves that everybody -- including their bench guys -- can and will step up when asked.
So what's the problem?
The problem is that good luck can be a curse in disguise. The Cs won it all in '08 in part because they had such a HARD time in the early rounds. This toughened them up in ways nothing else could. By the time they hit the Finals, they were case-hardened... and it showed. (Remember the game-four 24-point comeback?)
Now it seems fate, after sticking it to us earlier in the season, is stepping in and preparing a nice cushy red carpet for the Cs to put their dainty little feet on as they march to the ECF.
It's scary. If there's one thing this team has shown us over the years it's their endless capacity for overconfidence and forgetting how hard it is to get to the top of the mountain. Ok, to their credit, this kind of behavior tends to happen in the (admittedly mostly meaningless) regular season, not the playoffs. But still.... there's the Hawks game 1. They weren't ready. Again.
So yeah.... it's scary. I hope the Cs don't start counting their blessings and continue to focus on relentlessly mowing down the opposition. Because this is not gonna be a slam dunk. No chance of that. The Celtics are too offensively challenged to take ANY series lightly, let alone one with the Heat and whomever comes out of the West.

It's football season and if your team is losing, it's what you might be gaining that could be a bigger concern. A recent study published in The Journal of Psychological Science by The Insead Business School, suggests the outcome of your favorite team's game might affect your waistline.
So your team didn't win?
They couldn't do it, so according to a new study, you'll show 'em how to tackle—a basket of fries, chicken wings, maybe a hot dog, that is.
"That combination makes us feel happy, it actually sends endorphins into our brains, and gives us a quick little high, that makes us feel good, so when we're drowning our sorrows in nachos and chicken wings, then it's not very good on our health," Cassie Ebert, an exercise specialist at Olympic Center, said.
The study found that on the Monday after a big game, fans of the losing team consumed 16 percent more saturated fat than they normally would.
"It's just a component of emotional eating, I typically think sports fans, men in general, don't think that, they think they're exempt from emotional eating," Ebert said.
If this study proves to be true here in Texas, the manager of Coach's Bar and Grille in Tyler says for the first time, he might be hoping for a loss at tonight's Cowboys game. He's got plenty of unhealthy food on hand for Monday, just in case.
"Maybe that's something we need to look to and run a special, but no we don't, we haven't actually noticed that," Tim Legrand, Coach's manager, said.
On the other hand, fans of the winning teams consumed nine percent less saturated fat than usual.
Coach's serves plenty of healthy food too, good for a win. Still, Legrand isn't surprised at his most popular items for sports fans.
"Usually the, the hot wings, ribs, the hot dogs, burgers, things like that; very few salads," he said.
Researchers say consumption was especially defined if a game was close.
"There are a lot of studies out there, but I've never heard this one," Legrand said.
The researchers also conducted a separate study where they asked fans about a time their team won or lost while giving them a choice of snacks. Those replaying defeat chose unhealthy options, while those reminiscing about a win went for healthier snacks.

There should be one guiding principle that answers this question this year: can the Cowboys find a difference maker at number 9? We all know the priorities. The cowboys need someone to replace Newman soon. They need help at both safety positions (Lord knows Alan Ball is not the answer). The right side of the line needs to be replaced. Then there are the defensive ends. Replacements for Marian the Librarian would be good. Ditto for Roy Williams if he doesn't return, especially if Hurd leaves.
You wish Jerry Jones had about 9 picks in the top 10.
But he doesn't and won't, and I pray he doesn't have one again, at least not as a result of the Cowboys losing a lot of games.
I'm split a lot on the priorities. On the one hand, with an upgraded offensive line, the Cowboys have an opportunity to be the most explosive offense in the NFL. Would it surprise anyone if Dez and Miles each had 1k yards or more? Or if Romo had 40+ TDs? Or if the team averaged more than 30 points a game? Wouldn't it be great to see Romo sit back in the pocket and pick teams apart now and then (rather than get pounded into hamburger)? How about an actual hole for Jones now and then?
The reason the team is so good is that there are at least five and maybe six difference makers on offense. There's Dez. There's Miles. There's Romo and Witten. And maybe there's Jones (I sure thought so after 2009). So if Romo has time and the line can open actual holes for Jones, watch out.
On the other hand, there doesn't appear to be a hall of fame type offensive line talent. And Dallas has been aweful at drafting lineman, period.
Plus, who on the defense is really a difference maker? Certainly, there's Ware. No question. Right now, he's on track for a first ballot Hall of Fame entry.
In 2009, Spencer in the last half of the season was a difference maker. Jenkins was on the verge. And that was all it took for the D to really clamp down. But would anyone bank on either of those guys for next year? Sure, they might. But they might not. Another maybe is Sean Lee. But can he stay healthy?
Maybe Bryan McCann or Akwasi Owusu-Ansah can step up. Both have skills and you have to like McCann's ability to step up and make game changing plays. Still, you really see that there are way too many prayers and not enough answers.
So you look at number 9 and you ask, can the Cowboys find a difference maker? I'd trade Spencer to move up a few spots. I'd even trade my third or even second round pick. But they have to find a difference maker. And there appear to be more of those on defense than offense this year. That's where they just might find someone besides Ware who puts gray hairs in the head of the opposition offensive coordinator and QB. It's that simple. And that hard.
Because you hope they don't have this high a pick again for a while.

RAPIDES PARISH, La. (KALB News Channel 5)- A single vehicle crashed killed a teenager from Alexandria, early Monday morning.
State Police say the teen was not wearing his seatbelt and was ejected during the crash.
Troopers responded to the crash around 12:55 a.m., which occurred on LA Hwy 496 east of LA Hwy 3054.
State Police say the crash involved a 2008 Chevrolet pickup, driven by 16-year-old Chase L. Michiels. Investigators say the Chevrolet was eastbound on LA Hwy 496 when Michiels lost control and exited the right side of the roadway. After exiting the roadway, the vehicle collided with several small trees and overturned.
Michiels was pronounced dead. Troopers say his only passenger, a 17-year-old boy from Alexandria, was not wearing his seatbelt and received moderate injuries. He was transported to Rapides Regional Trauma Center.
The crash remains under investigation.
Michiels was a student at Holy Savior Menard High School.
"Our school is deeply saddened by this loss," said
Menard principal Joel Desselle. "We are
praying for his family during this very difficult time and working to help our
students get through such a devastating loss to in our Menard family."
Chase was a junior at Menard High School. He was an active member of the Eagles
Basketball team and the Our Lady of Prompt Succor Youth Group.
Menard will host a memorial mass in Chase's
honor. The mass will be held at 8 am,
November 12, 2013 at Holy Savior Menard.
The school will also have grief counselors available for students
following the mass.

Check these out, too...
Crab Crawl
This may look a li'l silly, but it gets ya movin' and your
core workin'. Sit down on the sand like you're about to do a sit-up, and put
your hands on the ground on either side of your body with your fingers pointed
toward your feet. Then unbend your elbows, and lift your tush off the ground. "Walk"
backwards by moving your right hand and leg simultaneously, and then your left
hand and leg. Do this for 20 steps.
Walk the Plank
Planks can get super boring because you're holding them for
so long. So instead of just going up on your elbows and toes for as long as you
can, try shortening things a bit. Lay down on the sand, and then go up to plank
position for 30 seconds. Lower yourself back down, and lay there for 5 seconds.
Then go back up to plank for 30 seconds… You see where this is going? Do 6 reps
of holding a plank for 30 seconds. Take some reps away or add more depending on
your fitness level.
Sandy Sprints
Pick two landmarks about 40 feet apart. Start at one end,
and take off running kind of slowly. Build up speed until you're going as fast
as you can when you're halfway between the markers. At the halfway point, start
slowing down, until you're back to your original speed when you reach the other
marker. Turn around, and do that again. Do a total of 6 sprints, or 3
Hoop Shots
Start from a standing position, and squat down, pushing your
butt out. Make sure your knees stay behind your toes. Then jump up, and throw
your arms up like you're taking a shot on a basketball hoop. When you land, go
back down to a squat, and start again. Do this 15 times.
Surrender the Booty
Start standing, and raise your arms straight above your head
so your fingers are pointing up. Then lunge forward with your right foot, and
press your left knee toward the ground. Bring your left foot up to meet your
right, and then lunge it forward. Continue lunging for 15 steps on each foot,
keeping your arms above your head the entire time.
Move With the Current
Lay down on the sand (not in the water!). Put your hands out
wide on either side of your body, like you would for a wide-armed push-up. Then
unbend your elbows, and raise your bod up. Dip your chest down, forward, and
up, all in one fluid movement. At the same time, lean forward on your toes. It
should look a bit like you're scooping under a fence and popping up on the
other side. Then reverse the movement to return to your original wide-armed
push-up stance. Rock forward and back 25 times.
Karate Kid
Start from a standing position. Kick your right leg out in
front of you. Then at the same time as you place that leg back on the ground,
hop your left leg out behind you, and reach down with your left hand toward the
ground. Hop your left leg back up to a standing position. That's the entire
move, so switch legs and repeat it. Do 15 reps with each leg.
Clam Closes
Sit down on the sand with your legs straight out in front of
you. Then, lay back with your arms extended straight out on the ground above
your head, so your bod is in a straight line. Contract your abs, and, keeping
your legs together, lift them up to a 45-degree angle. At the same time, bring
your arms over your head and try to touch your toes. Lower yourself back to a
straight line on the sand, and repeat the entire move 20 times.
Trident Push-Ups
Go down to the ground, and do a push-up. Stay in push-up position,
and move your right hand and foot over about a foot. Then bring your left hand
and foot over, too, and do another push-up in that spot. Move your left hand
and foot back, followed by your right hand and foot. Without doing a push-up in
between, move your bod to the left by starting with your left hand and foot. Do
a push-up in that spot to your left, and return to your original place. That's
one. Do 6 reps.
Sunny Skips
Using the markers that you had before (about 40 feet apart),
skip from one end to the other. With each skip, raise whichever knee is coming
up as high as you can. Just go back and forth once for this one.

Al White
---- — MSNBC anchor Rachel Maddow opened her show the other night with a rare admission for a broadcast journalist: "We really depend on local newspapers."
Maddow went on to praise the local reporters who doggedly pursue stories that turn into national news when bigger papers, TV stations and networks take notice.
"Anytime you see a story on national TV that starts in a small town, odds are that story began with local reporters who would not give up and who reported it right and aggressively ...
"And so it is with today's bombshell news about the administration of New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and the world's busiest bridge and the manufactured traffic jam that choked the little town of Fort Lee. That story started with the local newspaper, The Record of Bergen County."
Maddow then introduced the reporter who broke the Christie story for The Record: Shawn Boburg.
Shawn got his start with The Daily News of Newburyport's sister paper, The Eagle-Tribune, and ran up an impressive record as a reporter before moving on to The Record in 2006.
He was one of the lead reporters on The Eagle-Tribune's Pulitzer Prize-winning coverage of the drowning deaths of four boys in the Merrimack River in December 2002. A photo of Shawn and other staffers gathered at Columbia University to collect the prize is on my office wall.
Shawn also helped produce a string of investigative reports for The Eagle-Tribune, demonstrating the same resourcefulness and persistence that resulted in the Christie "bombshell."
One was an expose of the epidemic of auto insurance fraud in Lawrence, reported and written with Mark E. Vogler and Marjory Sherman. That won a national Society of Professional Journalists Public Service Award.
Another was a series on chronic teacher absenteeism in public schools across the North of Boston region, a problem that robbed students of important learning time and cost schools hundreds of thousands of dollars.
That series, written with David Joyner and others, appeared in The Eagle-Tribune, The Salem News, The Daily News of Newburyport and the Gloucester Daily Times.
The "Bridgegate" story first attracted the attention of the Record when it became clear there was something fishy about the nightmarish traffic jams that for days afflicted Fort Lee, at the foot of the George Washington Bridge.
Boburg's beat at The Record is the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which controls the bridge.
"As you know, the official line in the beginning was that this was a traffic study," Boburg told Maddow. "But the more we asked questions, the more things didn't quite measure up."
That's what good reporters do: ask questions and keep asking them when the answers don't make sense.
Last week, after a "relentless" pursuit of public documents over several months, Boburg wrote a story based on some of those documents.
They showed that officials in Christie's administration orchestrated the gridlock by closing lanes on the George Washington Bridge to retaliate against the mayor of Fort Lee for refusing to endorse Christie's re-election.
"Time for some traffic problems in Fort Lee," one official emailed Christie's man on the Port Authority.
Christie at first laughed off the growing scandal, mocking reporters like Boburg who dared question him. But he was forced into a humiliating press conference last week in an attempt to salvage his hopes for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination.
Shawn was and is a terrific reporter. He's one of many who have worked for or continue to work for The Eagle-Tribune and our sister papers. We're proud of them.
They do great and important work, as do countless journalists for hundreds of community newspapers like ours. Without their work, many, many stories would never see the light of day.
It's nice to see that recognized. So, thank you, Rachel Maddow.
Al White is a Plum island resident and the editor of The Eagle-Tribune.

Chris Paige is an absolutely useless prof. I learned NOTHING from him. He definitely spent way too much time reviewing the highschool material then went through the new stuff so quickly that no one really understood. He wears a mic but attaches it below his chest, so it's completely pointless. AVOID AVOID AVOID
hilarious old dude. can't see or hear anything but he made me laugh. although it may seem like you're not learning much in his class, his section usually does pretty good on the chem tests. he gives you sample mock finals and they really help too.
I'm not sure if it was the prof or the class, but it killed my love of Chemistry. I didn't think that was possible. He moved far too slowly during the review of high school material, then moved way too quickly during the new information. He didn't make homework a priority, which, unless one was actually diligent, made the things difficult.
Very boring. He went through class notes very slowly. I was able to learn just as well without going to class.
Very boring lectures and he is impossible to hear if you sit farther back than the 5th row. His material is hard to understand, but he can be entertaining. Don't recommend this prof.
WORST PROF EVER!!! This guy is blind, deaf and he cannot teach if his life depended on it! There is no point in going to his class. You learn more by skipping and reading the text. You can try asking him questions, but he responds with soemthing totally different. Get another prof if you can, you will not regret it!
Oh man was this class terrible. Be prepared to not be able to hear a word Paige says. His notes are way more complicated then they have to be, his lectures are pointless, and he hardly notices if students are there or not. He's funny and nice, but don't expect to learn much. Advice: Skip class, read the text - you'll be ahead for the midterm/final.
Such a good guy. He take the basics and makes them simple. Of course the stuff in this class is pretty easy, if you work at it, but he makes it so that it's easier. He's also really willing to help. If you're in his class and you need to ask a question, don't reaise your hand...just yell it out. good guy, good prof.

Apex Integration is a brand known not only for its power products – exhausts, suspension, and electronics… but also for its style. Ever since Apex'i started out in the USA, they have always had some of the most stylish cars and umbrella girls on the track.
At Formula D Long Beach, we noticed a new addition to the Apex'i camp that in our opinions, will attract quite a fan base. Of course we think FD driver (and former D1GP champ) Ryuji Miki is cool, but we think we'd rather have a signed Apex'i poster of Kurumi on our garage walls. Who else is down for a poster of her? We know we are!
she's cute!

Like Ohio to the presidential election, last week's Florida-Georgia game was a tipping point in the SEC East race. A Florida win would have meant that the Gators clinched the division crown; a Georgia win would have relegated Florida from "division leader" to "needing Ole Miss to beat Georgia in Athens to still have a shot." Florida handed both the ball (six times) and the division (once) to Georgia on Saturday afternoon, so now the Gators need a miracle.
Or, more precisely, they need Hugh Freeze's Rebels, a two-touchdown underdog, to pull off a rather significant upset between the hedges. Now, the F/+ picks like Ole Miss' chances a little more than Vegas does (Georgia by 11.4), but the odds are still stacked against the Rebs.
Don't let a likely competitive loss to Georgia, however, distract you from the simple fact that Freeze has improved Ole Miss enough in his first season that the Rebels are only a 14-point underdog. In 2011, the highlight of Ole Miss' 2-10 season was either beating a 4-9 Fresno State team on the road or scoring a long touchdown early in the game against Alabama (a game they eventually lost by 45 points, seven of which were scored on this embarrassing play).
In 2012, the Rebels have already increased their wins by 150 percent, but they honestly haven't played a terribly impressive schedule (wins: Central Arkansas, UTEP, at Tulane, Auburn, at Arkansas). The win at Arkansas was a lovely step forward, but what is more notable about Freeze's performance thus far is the uniformity of the improvement. Ole Miss has regressed a bit in terms of special teams, but both offense (from mediocre to excellent) and defense (from terrible to average) have progressed with Freeze and coordinators Dan Werner (co-offense), Matt Luke (co-offense) and Dave Wommack (defense) in charge.
Rushing Offense
Despite the presence of a good pair of running backs (Jeff Scott and Brandon Bolden), Ole Miss' running game was untrustworthy last season because of an awful line that ranked 109th in Adj. Line Yards and 110th in Adj. Sack Rate. Four of the five most experienced linemen departed, but such departures only really matter when the line is good. Ole Miss' current five starting linemen had combined for just 29 career starts at the end of the year (15 from right guard A.J. Hawkins, nine from center Evan Swindall, five from left guard Aaron Morris, and none from tackles Emmanuel McCray and junior college transfer Pierce Burton), but it has produced at a very high level. The Rebs have improved dramatically to 29th in Adj. Line Yards.
Jeff Scott's per-carry average has increased from 4.6 to 5.4 and backups I'tavius Mathers and Jaylen Walton have averaged 6.7 yards per carry in minimal opportunities. New quarterback Bo Wallace has also shown decent mobility at times -- 11 carries for 94 yards versus Central Arkansas, 13 for 57 and two scores versus Auburn, nine for 49 versus Arkansas -- and utility man Randall Mackey has thrown in 220 rushing yards as well (along with 59 passing yards and 251 receiving yards). Against a Georgia defense that has been a little leaky when it comes to big plays on the ground, the Rebels could see some success.
Passing Offense
Georgia has been surprisingly mediocre in pass defense (66th in Passing S&P+), while Ole Miss has improved significantly in this regard this season. The Rebels have gone from 86th in Passing S&P+ to 12th, thanks mostly to the Wallace-to-Moncrief connection. Junior college transfer (via Arkansas State) Bo Wallace, who looks like he was born and bred to play quarterback for the University of Mississippi, has picked up beautifully where he left off at East Mississippi Community College last year. He is completing 66 of his passes for 206 yards per game (and 10 touchdowns to nine interceptions) and managed not to completely embarrass himself versus Alabama (15-for-26 for 123 yards … and, yes, two picks and four sacks; the bar is pretty low against Alabama).
Wallace has developed a lovely rapport with sophomore Donte Moncrief, a former star recruit for Houston Nutt. Moncrief has caught 39 of 57 passes for 540 yards (9.5 per target) and five touchdowns and has provided the ability to stretch the field for underneath options like Vince Sanders (22 catches for 224 yard) and Ja-Mes Logan (22 for 212).
Hugh Freeze knows how to engineer an offense that is both pass-friendly and relatively balanced. He inherited decent personnel in this regard (just imagine what he could have done with Nickolas Brassell), but the amount of improvement has been staggering.
That said, pass protection is indeed still an issue, both because of the line and because Wallace sometimes holds onto the ball for too long. Alabama did get to Wallace four times, and Texas got him five times. Georgia's pass rush is a one-man affair -- despite missing two games, Jarvis Jones has 8.5 of the Dawgs' rather paltry 16 sacks -- but when that one man is Jones, that might be enough. Just ask Missouri or Florida.
Kevin Liles, US Presswire
Rushing Defense
The Ole Miss defense was pretty consistently awful last year, but the run defense was particularly egregious. The Rebels ranked 96th in Rushing S&P+ and 85th in Adj. Line Yards, and as with the trenches on offense, they had to replace three starting linemen, not to mention linebacker Damien Jackson.
But hey, no worries. Despite inexperience and a general lack of size (ends C.J. Johnson and Cameron Whigham average 244 pounds, and "linebackers" Denzel Nkemdiche and Mike Hilton average 189; okay, the 175-pound Hilton is much more safety than linebacker in Freeze's flexible 4-2-5), the Rebels have improved to 43rd in Rushing S&P+ and, incredibly, 15th in Adj. Line Yards. Bringing in a guy known for the spread offense is not supposed to immediately result in stunning improvement along both lines, but here we are.
As much as anything, the Ole Miss defense relies on funneling the ball toward Nkemdiche and big middle linebacker Mike Marry. The two have combined for 70.5 tackles, 13.5 behind the line of scrimmage. Nkemdiche has been an absolute revelation as a redshirt freshman, logging nine tackles for loss, two sacks, two interceptions, two passes broken up, two forced fumbles and two quarterback hurries despite youth and a small frame (at 5'11, 203 pounds, he is smaller than some cornerbacks). Ends Johnson and Jason Jones and tackles Gilbert Pena and Isaac Gross (a true freshman) help in the playmaking department, but Nkemdiche's emergence has meant the world to this defense.
Georgia's ground dominance has slowed up in recent weeks -- after combining for 302 yards, 8.9 per carry, against Tennessee, star Dawg freshmen Todd Gurley and Keith Marshall have averaged only 3.8 yards per carry in the last three weeks despite a solid game from Gurley against Florida -- but Ole Miss offers a unique enough challenge, both because of scheme and personnel, that it is hard to tell what to expect when Georgia hands the ball off.
Passing Defense
Relatively speaking, Ole Miss' pass defense was a strength last year (68th in Passing S&P+) despite an awful pass rush. Junior corner Charles Sawyer looked like a keeper (three tackles for loss, four interceptions, nine passes broken up) and has played pretty well again this year, while junior college transfer Dehendret Collins has contributed quickly, but Ole Miss ranks a good-not-great 46th against the pass. The pass rush, however, has improved dramatically. The Rebels have recorded 22 sacks and have shown the tendency to attack from absolutely everywhere. Sixteen different players have gone in on those 22 sacks, with nobody recording more than 2.5.
Against the three best quarterbacks on the schedule thus far, Ole Miss has done remarkably well. Texas A&M's Johnny Manziel, Alabama's A.J. McCarron and Arkansas' Tyler Wilson combined to average just 5.5 yards per pass attempt with four interceptions and eight sacks. (The only quarterback to absolutely torch the Rebels: Texas' David Ash, at 14.6 yards per pass attempt.) Despite what he showed last weekend, Georgia's Aaron Murray belongs right alongside those players in the SEC's quarterback hierarchy, but if Ole Miss can confuse him and bait him into a couple of mistakes, the Rebels could hang around a while.
Generally speaking, Georgia should expect to win this game and move to within one game (at Auburn) of clinching its second straight SEC East title. The Dawgs should be able to slow down the Ole Miss running game and make the Rebels relatively one-dimensional, and they should be able to run the ball well enough to build (and maintain) a lead.
But the simple fact that there is uncertainty (and a good amount, really), that the matchups are pretty tight even in the areas of Georgia advantage, speaks volumes of the job Hugh Freeze has done in less than a year at Oxford. Ole Miss is dangerous, entertaining and interesting, and with the emergence of both the Rebels and Texas A&M, what was already possibly the best division in college football (the SEC West) has gotten a lot more fun recently.

Yes, you can't get rid of us that easily, loyal listeners. Just when you think you're free of us, we turn up like a bad habit every single time.
Even though I've went to the dark side and joined the nWo, Tim has been gracious enough to let us continue to taint your eardrums with new material.
And with the start of preseason football, that can only mean one thing; a new episode of Luv Ya Steel Blue that actually has discussion of a real, live NFL game. In it, Aaron, Pat the Stat and myself dive right into it by discussing the starters (1.21 gigaWATT looks strong), the rookies (did you guys know Pat likes Brooks Reed's hair?) and even the undrafted guys (Jean Cuisine!). We tackle the highs (the pass rush!), the lows (Brice McCain makes me want to kick a baby in the face) and the non-existent (Dorin Dickerson, where are you?). We might have some Rex Ryan love in there as well.
There is plenty of talk about how The Son of Bum is making his presence known already, the absurd discussion of giving up on Mario after about 12 seconds in a new position, the lunacy of needing an elite #2 wide receiver and the ridiculous amount of injuries that are piling up. And it wouldn't be a Battle Red Blog post without mentioning a little NT lust in there.
A brief preview of the upcoming match up with my B team, The New Orleans Saints, may have reared it's ugly head as well.
All this, plus we take you around the NFL. Give us a listen by downloading the mp3 file below and you will all remain on my Christmas card list. I promise.

Thanks, as always, for listening.

Plot summary[edit]
Paul Mathry, a student about to graduate and embark upon a teaching career, finds out that his father was convicted for murder, a secret that his mother had hidden from him since his childhood.
Driven by an intense desire to see his father, Paul sets out to visit him in prison, only to find out that visitors are never allowed there.
From there, he meets the primary witnesses in the case that convicted his father, not all of whom are supportive to Paul's cause. He encounters several dead ends but he persists, with the help of a store girl named Lena and a news reporter.
His persistent campaign finally bears fruit. Rees Mathry, Paul's father, goes on appeal and is vindicated. The novel ends with Paul's father, a hardened, cynical man, seeing a fleeting hope for self-renewal and a purposeful life.

In general, a foreign employee assigned to work in the Russian Federation should have a degree of appropriate knowledge, specialized skills or managerial/executive-level skills that are not available in Russia's labour market.
"Regularisation" of Immigration Status from Visitor Status to Work Status
A foreign employee may not convert her/his immigration status from a "Visitor" (travelling on the basis of a tourist or business visa) to "Work" status while remaining in Russia. The employee can be present in Russia on the basis of travel or business visa while the work permit application is being processed; at that time he/she does not have authorisation to work in Russia. Once the work permit is obtained the employee (the inviting company) should apply for obtaining the invitation for the work visa on its basis in the Russian Consulate abroad.
Types of Work Visas
There are two types of work visas:
a) Ordinary Visa – Purpose: Work – this visa is issued to the foreign employee working in the company established in the Russian Federation;
b) Ordinary Visa – Purpose: Representative office employee visa – this visa is issued to the foreign employee working in the representative or branch office of the foreign company in the Russian Federation.
Visas are distinguished as single entry work visa (representative office employee visa) valid up to 3 months and multiple entry work visa (representative office employee visa) valid up to 1 year.
General Process
In order to sponsor a work permit application, a Russian company sponsor must first be formally registered in Russia. That sponsor must then obtain an employment permit; this process involves an evaluation of the application by three different Russian government agencies: The Local Employment Service, the Moscow Department of Federal Employment Service and the Federal Migration Service.
Obtaining the employment permit is a three-step process. First, the corporate sponsor must obtain approval to employ foreign employees from the Local Employment Service. This step generally requires a processing time of 21 business days. Second, the sponsor must obtain approval to employ foreign employees from the Federal Employment Service (Moscow Department). The approximate processing time for this step is 10-14 business days. Third, the employment permit is obtained from the Federal Migration Service, a process that requires approximately 30 business days. Please note that in some regions of the Russian Federation, obtaining the employment permit requires the additional step of obtaining an opinion from the local Trade Union authorities. This process requires roughly 10-12 business days.
Once the employment permit is successfully obtained, the work permit is obtained by submitting an application to the Local Migration Service (Migration Service of the Central Department of Internal Affairs in Moscow). This process requires approximately 21 business days.
The next step towards completing the process is obtaining separate invitation letters allowing the employee and each accompanying family member to apply for a single entry visa for the purposes of work from the Russian Consulate with jurisdiction over his or her place of legal residence. The sponsoring company should apply to the Passport and Visa Department to obtain the invitation letters on behalf of the employee and each family member. Upon issue of the invitation letters, the employee and family members can apply for her/his single entry visa. A personal appearance at the Russian consulate to obtain this single entry visa is not required.
Once the single entry visa for the purposes of work and residence is obtained through the Consulate, the employee (and family members, if applicable) may enter Russia and immediately commence to work. However, immediately upon arrival, the employee and family members must undergo the formalities of registering with the Passport and Visa Department, and converting their single entry visas into multiple entry visas valid up to 1 year.
Basic Requirements to Qualify
1. Employment permit stipulates number, positions and countries of the nationality of foreign employees that the company is authorised to hire.
2. Representative and branch offices can employ foreigners within the framework of the quota of the accredited employees, which stipulates initial 5 foreigners. Representative and branch offices may increase the quota of accredited foreign employees in the accreditation authority. Without increasing quota, the employment permit for more than 5 foreign employees cannot be issued.
3. Preferential procedure of employment of highly qualified specialists for the position of director, his deputies, as well as for foreign employees of accredited representative office was abolished.
4. It is absolutely essential that the foreign employee has the name of the same company stated in her/his work permit and her/his work visa.
5. The hiring company should place on deposit of the Federal Migration Service the approximate price of a one-way airplane ticket to the country of origin for each foreign employee.
6. The representative office employee visa is issued on the base of personal accreditation card, that is sponsored by the accreditation authority.
7. Medical examination by a registered physician in a Russian State clinic certifying that the applicant is free of tuberculosis, leprosy, HIV, syphilis, Chlamydia and genital chancres. For those persons applying for a Residence Permit in Moscow, an additional test certifying a negative result for the presence of narcotics is also required.
Russian Corporate Documents Required for Employment Permit
The sponsoring Russian employer must present the following documents:
1. Charter (3 notarised copies);
2. Certificate of Registration;
3. Certificate of entry into the Consolidated State Register (3 notarised copies);
4. Licence (if any, 3 notarised copies);
5. Statistic Committee Certificate (3 notarised copies);
6. Certificate of registration at Tax Inspectorate (3 notarised copies);
7. Draft of labour agreement with the foreign employee;
8. Lease agreement on premises occupied by foreign employee (a copy);
9. Power of Attorney (to be drafted by local vendor);
10. Balance-sheet for the most recent quarter, if applicable (a copy and the original);
11. Bank reference (funds on account);
12. Original of receipt for payment of the state duty (3,000 rubles and 1,000 rubles for each foreign employee);
13. Original of documents proving the payment of deposit, which is required in case of employee's departure from the Russian Federation.
Employee and Family Documents (Most Commonly Requested)
The following personal documents are required to obtain work permit:
1. Passport copies of a foreign employee's and each family member's passports. Passports should be valid no less than for 6 months.
2. Copy of Certificate proving the foreign employee's professional education, obtained in the foreign state or equivalence of such a document to a Russian certificate of the professional education.
3. Medical examination by a registered physician in a Russian State clinic certifying that the applicant is free of tuberculosis, leprosy, HIV, syphilis, chlamydia and genital chancres. For those persons applying for a Residence Permit in Moscow, an additional test certifying a negative result for the presence of narcotics is also required. Medical Certificates cannot be issued for more than 90 days from the exam date.
4. 2 photographs 3x4 (mat, colour) of the employee and each family member;
5. Notarised copy of the spouse's Marriage Certificate.
6. Notarised copy of each child's birth certificate with names of both parent's evidenced.
Processing Time
The approximate time to assemble all corporate and employee's personal documentation is approximately one month. The term for obtaining the employment permit is 2 months. The work permit is obtained within 21 working days. Single entry work visa can be obtained within 12 working days, the multiple entry one – within 21 working days.
Validity of the Work Visa
A single entry work visa is valid up to 3 months and enables to the foreigner to come to Russia within these 3 months and begin to work. A multiple entry work visa is valid up to 1 year.
Documents Required to Apply for a Work Visa
Following are the documents required to obtain the work visa, which should be provided by the foreign employee to the Russian Consulate:
1. Application form;
2. Passport copy (necessary pages) of a foreign employee. Passport should be valid no less than for 6 months;
3. Copy of employment permit with grant of original;
4. Copy of work permit (a plastic card) with grant of original;
5. 3 photographs 3x4 (mat, colour) – for re-registration of a single entry visa into a multiple exit-entry visa;
6. Required application fee.
Registration for Residence Permit and Tax Card
Foreigners (and their dependents) must register their residence within three days upon their arrival to the Russian Federation. If a foreigner would like to live in the private sector, the landlord of the apartment (house) has to give her/his consent on registration of the foreign citizen, which has to be legalised in House managing service (DEZ). Consent has to be provided by all individuals that are permanently registered in the apartment.
Foreigners arriving to the Russian Federation are not obliged to register as a taxpayer and to receive tax card.
Spouse and Children
The inviting organisation in Russia must submit separate invitation applications on behalf of the employee and each accompanying family member in order for the employee and each family member to apply simultaneously for their entry visas at a Russian consular post.
Separate invitations are required whether family members are accompanying as Tourists (for short term visits) or for residence (long-term work assignment).
Unmarried Partners (Opposite-Sex)
The Russian legislation does not stipulate the opportunity of obtaining dependents visas for the opposite-sex partners which marriage is not officially registered.
Unmarried Partners (Same-Sex)
The Russian legislation does not stipulate the opportunity of obtaining dependents visas for the same-sex partners which marriage is not officially registered.
Ability to Work
Dependents (family member) visa does not allow to its holder to work in the Russian Federation. To secure the employment in the Russian Federation dependents (family members) should obtain their personal work permit and work visa.
