A discussion on the polarity of radio frequencies seems more suited for a laboratory than a med spa, but it's a common topic at Dream Body LipoContour Clinic. The staff uses unipolar frequencies to help melt fatty cells and bipolar frequencies to help boost collagen production. For a more heavy-duty anti-aging treatment, the two frequencies can be combined to create tripolar frequencies that can remove cellulite and melt the date off patients' driver's licenses. To augment the noninvasive services, patients can stand on a body-vibration machine for 10 minutes, increasing the removal of cellular waste for a more streamlined figure.

The Kia Soul EV Gets the Hamster Science Lab Treatment
200,000 Free Downloads of Maroon5's "Animals" Available Now Exclusively at Before Song Makes iTunes Debut
- 60-second ad debuts during Sunday's broadcast of the MTV Video Music Awards; extended cut available now at Kia Soul
- The 2015 Soul EV is Kia's first mass-market, all-electric, zero-emissions car and the centerpiece of the brand's Clean Mobility program
IRVINE, CA -- Aug. 21, 2014: Since bursting on the scene in 2009 as "a new way to roll," the funky Soul urban passenger vehicle - and an accompanying trio of music-loving hamsters - has become a genuine phenomenon, with U.S. sales of the iconic people mover increasing every year. Now, with "geek chic" newly added to the dictionary, the latest installment of Kia Motors America's (KMA) award-winning ad campaign finds the hamsters inhabiting a high-tech, high-energy laboratory and unleashing their inner mad scientists to create the most innovative and eco-friendly Soul yet. Set to the infectious beat of Maroon5's never-before-heard song "Animals," sparks fly and jaws drop when a surge of electricity leads to the discovery of a furry new friend and the all-electric, zero emissions 2015 Soul EV. As part of the multi-platform "Fully Charged" campaign, Kia.com is exclusively offering 200,000 free downloads[1] of "Animals" before its release on iTunes¨[2].
Created by David&Goliath, Kia's advertising agency of record[3], an extended cut of "Fully Charged" is available now at Kia.com/KiaSoul before the spot's broadcast debut during the MTV Video Music Awards on August 24.
"From hip-hop to pop, the hamsters have always had an ear for music and their paws on the pulse of pop culture. This year, the smartly dressed trio are breaking new music from Grammy Award-winners Maroon5 and celebrating the expansion of Kia's line of eco-conscious vehicles by sharing 'Animals' for free at Kia.com," said Michael Sprague, executive vice president of sales and marketing, KMA. "Kia is recognized as one of the 50 Best Global Green Brands[4], and with the Soul EV about to shake things up in a category not known for head-turning good looks, the hamsters are out to prove that eye-catching style and eco-efficiency are no longer mutually exclusive."
Soul Advertising Background With a wide variety of soundtracks ranging from the classic hip-hop track "The Choice Is Yours" by Black Sheep and LMFAO's smash hit "Party Rock Anthem" to last year's "Applause" by Lady Gaga, Kia's music-loving hamsters have become some of the most-watched advertising icons of all time, and the Soul's ongoing popularity is a driving force behind increased awareness and consideration for the Kia brand as a whole. Earlier spots depicted city and suburban streets inhabited exclusively by hamsters who mindlessly run in place inside their exercise wheels and cleverly compared "This," the funky and uniquely styled Soul, to "That," a number of boring and mundane appliances on wheels, cardboard boxes or hamster wheels.
With more than 20 million views, 2011's "Share Some Soul" was the third most-watched automotive ad in YouTube history at the time of the campaign launch, and later that year, the Madison Avenue Advertising Walk of Fame named the hamsters as their first-ever "Rookie of the Year."
"Over the last six years, the Kia Soul and the hamsters have evolved together," said Colin Jeffery, chief creative officer, D&G. "In 2013, the Soul was totally transformed, so it made sense for the Hamsters to become just as sleek and sophisticated. This year, we were tasked with introducing Kia's first electric vehicle in the U.S., and to suit their smart new ride, the hamsters started hitting the books instead of the gym. Smart is the new sexy, and the hamsters are using their wits, and a fortuitous lab accident, to their advantage."
All-New 2015 Soul EV (#KiaSoul) Scheduled to go on sale in the third quarter, the all-electric, zero-emissions Soul EV is the centerpiece of Kia's Clean Mobility program and the brand's first-ever mass-marketed electric vehicle. While it retains the funky style and functionality Soul is known for, the EV variant introduces new and more aerodynamic styling cues and is the first vehicle in the world to receive Underwriters Laboratory's (UL) environmental validation for its integration of 10 percent bio-based material in the interior. A state-of-the-art 27 kWh lithium ion polymer battery powers an 81 kW electric motor, producing 210 lb.-ft. of torque, which drives front wheels and is expected to yield a range of approximately 80-100 miles of real-world driving on a full charge, with internal testing and evaluation results exceeding 100 miles in some instances.

Arsene Wenger has expressed his delight after securing the South Korean's signature, with the player vowing to never give up in order to show his best for the Gunners
The 26-year-old is the captain of South Korea and joins the Gunners with a record of 25 goals in 91 appearances over the course of three seasons in Ligue 1.
"We are delighted to have signed Chu," Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger told the club's official website.
"He will add true quality to our attacking forces and will be a valuable addition to the squad."
Park said: "I am very honoured and I feel very happy to be at Arsenal. It is a dream to be here and I am really pleased to be an Arsenal player. Now I just want to show how good I am and prove myself.
"In my opinion this is a great club, now I have to show what I can do on the pitch. I will do my best, I will never give up, I will show heart, I will give everything and I hope [the fans] will support me."
Park prefers to be known as 'Ju', and as such will have J. Y. Park as his shirt name, and will also take the vacant No. 9 shirt.
The deal is still subject to the completion of the registration processes, but this is expected to be a mere formality.

I work with desperate people that are using all the medications available and are still symptomatic. So what happens when they start people off at the strongest medications and they end up not doing the trick any more? I see people developing bronchiectasis after faithfully taking prescribed drugs thinking that they were 'controlling' their asthma. The real shame here is that there is a safe, simple, and natural solution to breathing difficulties called the Buteyko Breathing Method. This program is designed to restore normal healthy breathing so that inhalers are not needed. There are no negative side effects to learning how to breathe better..

As long as physicians shill for products and are paid for them, distrust of physicians will continue and rise. When it is pointed out that the chiropracters and "alternative medicine" people make money on the naturapathic drugs they push on people; one of the things the anti-medicine, "alternative medicine" devotees quote is that medical doctors are spokespeople for big pharma and they prescribe what fills their pockets with more money. It makes you look dirty..
This was prescribed to me about 5 years ago. As a nurse, I took it exactly as told but after about3-4 doses, I became hoarse and later had trouble swallowing and breathing. I stopped it immediately. Thankfully I recognized the cause and recovered but was the closest I've ever been to going to the ER as an emergency..

I practice in a fee for service patients-can-visit-any-doctor country. One of the main problems I find is that people prescribed seretide seem to be unaware that they have to use it twice daily regularly. Patients are using it on an ad hoc basis when they feel better and more than twice daily when they feel worse..
Samuel AWE
The private practitioners will give anything to a patient in this environment just because there is monetary reward and most of them are not updating their knowledge!!!!..
All doctors are not greedy. All doctors are not mesmerized by shiny new things. That being said, some are greedy or compelled to be the first in line for every new thing or both. People die from asthma for a host of reasons from not following a correct regimen prescribed for them to being prescribed the wrong agents at the wrong time. I think most healthcare professionals have seen the trends over the decades, with all drug classes, to abandon the older drugs - even if they are still efficacious - for the latest thing. The next step is for Big Pharma to come up with an even newer shinier drug to dangle in front of the medical community. Even having strict guidelines has not prevented practitioners from circumventing the rules to get what they think they absolutely must prescribe. Think: resistant infections and the myriad generations of antibiotics to treat them. Keeping Big Pharma and influential practitioners apart is nearly as futile as trying to prevent wild rabbits procreating. Until there are ethical men and women making ethical, well reasoned and researched recommendations for drug treatments, we will continue to have inappropriate information out there masquerading as fact. .
carmen b.s.g. montaner
KAC RN Thank you for your comments. Most physicians are not greedy. There always will be the few in any group who cause an entire group or institution to be mislabeled as greedy, self serving, etc. Asthma is a terrible disease.My bnrother and I suffered from this and you can imagine that at that time in the late 30's to 40's, there were no "true" drugs for this. We endured hot poutices, Vicks, epinephrine injections when the attacks were severe, as well as camphorated oils. We did survive, and were thankful when steroids came and gave us relief. Medicines have to be given properly and patients or their care givers have to be strictly advised as to how the drugs are to be used. These drugs should not be available OTC..

Hi everyone,
I am a medical student, I've come on here with a question. One of my aunts has been ordering generic Advair online from a Canadian Pharmacy. (The link is below for reference). I don't know what to tell her about this, as we've all been warned about buying medications online. But, there's not much talking to her. My question is, is this legitimate? If not, what can I say to her to get her to change her mind? If it looks like it's safe, should I just leave it alone? I think she would take my advice being that I'm a medical student, but at the same time, I'm not very far into the program so I need some assistance with what to tell her. This is the place she's buying the medicine: http://canadapharmacyrx.com/generic-advair-diskus.html.

Parish re-opens bridge on Bryan Road
By ALLISON CRYER
Daily News Staff Writer
The parish has repaired and reopened another bridge that was closed by the state late last year due to structural damage.
The bridge on Bryan Road, near Hathaway, was reopened Wednesday, leaving three more closed bridges left to see repairs, according to Jeff Davis Administrative Road Supervisor Sherwin LeFranc. The three remaining closures include a bridge on Dave Williams Road, just north of Jennings; a bridge on Mouton Road, south of Jennings and a bridge on Parish Line Road near the Fenton area.

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.2; WOW64; rv:20.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/20.0 Build ID: 20130307075451 Steps to reproduce: Some of us prefer the old way of displaying the addon manager in its own dialog instead of another tab. You can do this by calling Firefox from the command line as follows: "firefox -chrome about:addons" (alternatively, replace "about:addons" with "chrome://mozapps/content/extensions/extensions.xul" – I guess this is the more correct way, though it doesn't affect this bug) Actual results: Firefox will open the addon manager, but the addon list (on the right) will either display a loading indicator or simply stay blank (white) indefinitely. This happens regardless of which category (addons, plugins, themes etc.) is initially selected. The only way to get the list to show up is by clicking any category label, even the selected one. Expected results: Just like when opening the addon manager normally (through the menu or with about:addons), the initially selected category should load the addon list immediately.

I can reproduce this with Ubuntu. Loading dialog will be displayed when using "firefox -chrome about:addons" until selecting any category. Reproducible on Firefox 10 as well.

I was looking into this.
When I tried the same thing, I got this in my console :
> JavaScript error: chrome://mozapps/content/extensions/extensions.js, line 103: invalid 'in' operand window.arguments[0]
That was because window.arguments[0] was being null.
So, some necessary arguments are not being passed into the new addons manager window created.
Is an openDialog call bringing the new window up?
If someone can guide me further, I could take this up.
Comment 3•

Thanks, Sachin :) In that case, we just need an additional check on that line to ensure window.arguments[0] is an object, but also isn't null. I wouldn't worry about tracing where the values of window.arguments is coming from. Opening things via the -chrome command line flag is a bit weird, and ancient code - changing that would likely break other things. Instead, we should just have better checks in the Add-ons Manager to ensure the inputs are what we expect. I also wouldn't worry about adding an automated test for this, as opening it via the -chrome flag isn't something we support (but it'd still be nice to fix, especially since it looks like it'll be an easy fix).

There's been quite a lot of bad press coming out of the Ivory Coast during recent months.
Before I arrived, I was warned against being sucked into an apparent sense of normality here, which I suppose means, a false sense of security.
I also warned myself against comparing Ivory Coast with the last country I reported from: Angola.
But I'm afraid, so far, I admit to doing both.
The airport is a good place to start. Shiny walls, slippery clean floors, polished glass cubicles in which immigration officials sit in pressed uniforms. But where are the guns?
In fact, two particularly large men, in army fatigues, sitting on a bench just in front of the exit gave me a friendly hand-shake, and neither of them were holding guns.
So far, so good and dare I say it, a long way from Angola's Quatro de Fevereiro Airport. The comparisons don't stop there.
Driving from the airport into town, you have to search for the potholes along the smooth and swift dual carriageways. After four days in this country, I have counted just one pothole for each day.
I must be missing something. Surely.
Driven batty
I was equally impressed by all the pavements in the centre of town: pavements and trees line the streets that sit neatly under tower blocks, some of which are covered with reflective glass.
Perhaps it's inside those buildings that Ivory Coast's CEOs drink the champagne I am told is sold all over Abidjan.
Sounds of fruit bats hanging upside down in their hundreds. Do they ever sleep?
I thought they came alive at night, and yet they seem to spend all day chattering in the branches at just about the same level as the BBC office.
They're known here as les chauve-souris, literally bald-mice. Why not flying mice or loud mice? I don't know.
On Monday, President Laurent Gbagbo drove past our office. I watched from the eighth floor as he stopped to greet young men and women who were cheering and clapping by the side of the road.
Suddenly, in the branches in front of me, the bald-mice seemed to find the excitement infectious. They dropped headfirst from their branches, before flapping in large circles above the crowds below. How did they know it was President Gbagbo? I thought bats were blind.
Perhaps they have the powers of a Cameroonian woman I met on Wednesday evening.
She was serving me some fish at one of the many small road-side cafes, serving fish, chicken, and other meats on superb grills. Well, at this particular maquis, this lady from Yaounde told me that she could guess the name of one of the men I was with.
I laughed, and challenged her to do just that. And guess what? She got it right! Julian, she said of my husband. "Il s'appelle Julian".
How did she know that? I don't know. But Ivory Coast is indeed an intriguing place.

Former New York Giants running back Brandon Jacobs remains a free agent, and with a return to the team unlikely, he's been resigned to finding work elsewhere. Unfortunately, with little interest, the word "retirement" has come up a time or two. However, despite the situation in which he finds himself, Jacobs has continued to workout, stay in shape and keep himself prepared in the event a team calls. He's even run a few 40's — one of which was filmed and put on YouTube.
Warning: The video contains language that is not safe for work.
"I just did that for fun wasn't really trying to prove anything," Jacobs tweeted in response to a fan after the video was posted.
At the 2009 NFL Combine, Jacobs ran between a 4.67 – 4.61 40-yard dash, but has been clocked as high as 4.51. A 4.40 40-yard dash would be, by far, his best recorded run ever. However, given the situation and the inexact method by which they timed his run, it's unlikely that it would have been an official 4.4 40.
Still, there's no denying that the monstrous back is in great shape and has incredible speed for his size. Even adding a quarter of a second to his run would put Jacobs in an elite size/speed category. And so long as his knees are healthy, it would be hard to image all 32 NFL teams passing on him as we entertain training camp and, subsequently, the preseason.
Although this video was merely done for fun, it might be exactly what B-Jac needs to reenter the minds of NFL GM's as they will undoubtedly look to fill spots with quality veterans as early injuries mount.

Al-Sadr calls for anti-US protests
Muqtada al-Sadr has blamed the US for Iraq's current woes and called for a mass demonstration on April 9 to mark the fourth anniversary of Baghdad's fall.
The Iraqi Shia leader in a statement on Friday also renewed his call for an immediate withdrawal of US troops from Iraq.
"Fly Iraqi flags atop homes, apartment buildings and government departments to show the sovereignty and independence of Iraq," al-Sadr said in the statement.
"[Show]that you reject the presence of American flags and those of other nations occupying our beloved Iraq," he said.
Rejecting occupation
"You, oppressed people of Iraq, let the entire world hear your voice that you reject occupation, destruction and terrorism," he said.
The statement was reported to have been read to worshippers during Friday prayers at a mosque in Kufa, a holy Shia city south of Baghdad.
The statement is the first by al-Sadr since March 14, when he called on his supporters to resist US forces in Iraq through peaceful means.
Al-Sadr's al-Mahdi army group fought US troops in 2004, but has generally co-operated with an ongoing US-Iraqi security push in Baghdad.
But in his statement al-Sadr blamed the presence of US forces in Iraq for the violence, lack of services and sectarian fighting that continues to plague Iraq.
"I renew my call for the occupier [the US] to leave our land," he said in his statement.
"The departure of the occupier will mean stability for Iraq, victory for Islam and peace and defeat for terrorism and infidels."
Saturday Mar 31st, 2007 9:58 AM
BAGHDAD — Radical Shiite Muslim cleric Muqtada Sadr, in fiery rhetoric echoed Friday in some other Shiite mosques across Iraq, blamed America's continued presence for bombings a day earlier that killed more than 130 people in mainly Shiite areas of Baghdad and a troubled province to the north.
The U.S. military, meanwhile, said it had captured a man described as a key figure in the roadside bombings that have taken a heavy toll on American troops.
The raid took place in Sadr City, a vast, largely Shiite slum that is a longtime militia stronghold. The suspect was not named, but U.S. officials have blamed Shiite militias backed by Iran for importing and planting sophisticated, armor-piercing devices that have killed scores of U.S. troops.
Sadr City and other Shiite neighborhoods in Baghdad rang with cries of mourning Friday over Thursday's bombings in the capital's northeast Shaab district and in the mainly Shiite town of Khalis, in Diyala province north of the city. Diyala has seen recurrent fighting between insurgents and American troops, as well as between Sunni Arabs and Shiites.

LAHORE/ISLAMABAD – The husband of a woman stoned to death in Pakistan killed his first wife four years ago, police and relatives said Thursday, in a shocking twist both showing how complicated justice can be and what domestic horror some women face in the country.
A mob of family members, including her father and brothers, beat 25-year-old Farzana Parveen to death Tuesday with bricks taken from a construction site in the eastern city of Lahore as onlookers stood by, authorities said.
After the killing, many in Pakistan offered their condolences to Parveen's husband, Mohammed Iqbal, as it seemed the family had killed her for wanting to marry him.
But on Thursday, Zulfiqar Hameed, the deputy inspector general for the Punjab police, said authorities had arrested Iqbal for the October 2009 killing of his first wife, Ayesha Bibi. Hameed could not offer details about the slaying, but said the case was withdrawn after a family member forgave him.
Under Pakistani law, those charged with a slaying can see their criminal case dropped if family members of the deceased forgive them or accept "blood money" for the crime.
Reached at his village near the town of Jaranwala, Iqbal said he could not speak because he was praying at his second wife's grave.
One of Iqbal's five children, Aurang Zeb, said his father killed his mother in 2009 over a dispute. He said his father was arrested, but the children later forgave him and the case was withdrawn.
"We don't want to discuss whatever had happened in the past, but I confirm that we had forgiven our father Iqbal," Zeb told The Associated Press, adding that his father was in a state of shock after the killing of his second wife.
Two of Iqbal's cousins also confirmed that he killed his first wife but said he had been forgiven by one of his sons.
Also on Thursday, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif condemned the latest slaying, calling it "intolerable." Demanding to know why police stood by while the woman was battered to death in front of one of the country's top courts, he called on authorities in Punjab province to find the remaining culprits.
The statement, issued by Sharif's office, further described Iqbal's death as a "brutal killing" and said it was "totally unacceptable."
"I am directing the chief minister to take immediate action and a report must be submitted by this evening to my office," it quoted Sharif as saying.
Navi Pillay, the United Nations high commissioner for human rights, also strongly condemned the slaying, saying she didn't want to call it an "honor killing" because "there is not the faintest vestige of honor in killing a woman in this way."
"The fact that she (Iqbal) was killed on her way to court shows a serious failure by the state to provide security for someone who — given how common such killings are in Pakistan — was obviously at risk," Pillay said Wednesday, calling on Pakistan's government to stop honor slayings.
U.S. State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki on Thursday welcomed comments by senior Pakistani leaders condemning "this heinous crime," but noted it was at least the third honor killing reported in Pakistan this week.
Pakistan, home to 180 million people, is an overwhelmingly Muslim nation, and the majority of its citizens have long been conservative. Arranged marriages are the norm among conservative Pakistanis, and hundreds of women are murdered every year in honor killings carried out by husbands or relatives as a punishment for alleged adultery or other illicit sexual behavior that is perceived to bring shame upon her family.
Pakistan has one of the highest rates of violence against women globally, yet activists say "blood money" offerings often mean that crimes against women by their spouses or other family members are ignored.
The Human Rights Commission of Pakistan, a private group, said in a report last month that at least 869 women were murdered in honor killings in 2013.

Recognition of same-sex unions in Russia
Russia recognizes neither same-sex marriage nor any other form of civil union for same-sex couples. However, gay activists claim that a same-sex marriage contracted abroad can legally be recognized in Russia[citation needed]. Russian laws stipulate several provisions which prevent the recognition of legal foreign marriages in Russia and a marriage entered into by two persons of the same sex is not one of them.[1]
Attitude of Russians towards same-sex marriage[edit]
According to the majority of the former republics of the Soviet Union, support for legal recognition of same-sex couples is very limited, and as of 2009, the government has yet to signal any signs of support for such legislation.
In 2005, two polls have been conducted in Russia on the issue of same sex marriage. None of the research covered the support for civil union. While, they both give similar results they were conducted by different polling institutes:
- In January, a poll conducted by the All-Russian Public Opinion Research Center showed that only 14% of Russians support same-sex marriage, with an additional 17% divided on the issue. In comparison, 59% of Russians oppose legal recognition of same-sex marriage, with 25% of respondents choosing "somewhat disagree" and an additional 34% of those polled "completely disagreed." An extra 10% of those polled chose "hard to answer."[2] The poll did not cover support for civil unions.
- In April, a public opinion poll ordered by the LGBT Human Rights Project Gayrussia.ru and realized by the Public Opinion Organization Levada Center showed that 73.4% of Russians are against the legalization of same-sex marriages against 14.3% supporting it.
- Same sex partners of foreign diplomats are in practice granted accreditation as "family members" in Russia.
Position of the Russian Orthodox Church[edit]
In 2016, Patriarch Kirill of Moscow stated that same-sex marriage is a form of "Soviet totalitarianism". In May 2017, he likened it to Nazism and referred it as threat to family values during a visit to Kyrgyzstan.[3]
Same-sex marriage campaign in Russia[edit]
In April 2009, Nikolai Alekseev launched a campaign for same sex marriage in Russia. He had previously stated in 2005 and again in 2008 that his LGBT Human Rights Project Gayrussia.ru is ready to help a genuine gay or lesbian couples who want to get its family and marriage rights respected in Russia.[4]
On May 12, 2009, a lesbian couple, Irina Fedotova (Fet) and Irina Shipitko applied for marriage at the Tverskoy Office for the Registration of Civil Acts (ZAGS) in the centre of Moscow. The couple's appeal to the Court said: "The Russian Constitution and family laws do not prohibit same-sex marriages." The lesbian couple declared to The New York Times: "We have love, we have happiness, we want to be together for our whole lives and we want to do this here in Russia." [5][6]
It was done during the upcoming Slavic Pride and also upcoming Eurovision Song Contest 2009, both scheduled on May 16 in Moscow. The 2009 edition of Moscow Pride, renamed as Slavic Pride, took place under the motto "Gay equality - no compromise", postulating the right to adopt children and same-sex marriage.[7] The location of the protest was changed at the last moment to the Vorobyovy Gory viewpoint near Moscow State University, a popular spot for wedding photographs. This location underlined the motto of the protest.[8] The couple received a written denial from Svetlana Potamyshneva, head of the office, who denied to register the marriage stating that "Point 3 of Article 1 of the Family Code of Russia stipulates that the regulation of family relations must adhere to the principle of a voluntary union between a man and a woman". In June 2009, the couple appealed to the Tverskoy District Court against the written denial they received from the Marriage office. Their claim stated: "The Russian Constitution and family laws do not prohibit same-sex marriages. In addition, family and marriage rights, including those same-sex, are guaranteed with Articles 8 and 12 of the European Human Rights Convention ratified by the Russian Federation". The Court hearing scheduled on August 26, 2009 was postponed to September 9, 2009 and later, October 6, 2009.[9][10][11] The Court upheld the decision of the Tverskoy ZAGS and rejected the arguments of the couple. Nikolai Alekseev told journalists that the case will be appealed up to Supreme Court and to the European Court of Human Rights. Caroline Mecary -a French lawyer who defend a French gay couple in a similar case at the European Court, said in June 2009 that she will take the case of the Russian couple to Strasbourg. Nikolai Alekseev, who acted as the lawyer of the lesbian couple, told the journalist that his organization will help the couple to legally register their marriage in Canada in October 2009 and later seek its legal recognition in Russia.[12] [13] [14]
The couple has announced their intent to marry in Toronto, Canada on 23 October 2009, where same-sex marriage is opened for non-residents and later pursue legal recognition of their union from the Russian government.
The couple entered into same-sex marriage as planned on October 23. The ceremony was celebrated by first Canadian openly gay Judge Harvey Brownstone. Numerous media and local activists were present at the ceremony during which Irina Fedotova-Fet and Irina Shipitko exchanged vows. The newly wed couple received their marriage certificate which they intend to use upon their return to Russia to have their Canadian marriage also recognized in their home country. While the Family Code limits marriage to opposite-sex couples in Russia, there is a loophole in terms of the recognition of foreign marriages, where the basis of gender is not specified. The couple together with their lawyer Nikolai Alekseev as well as local activists hosted a press conference at the Toronto City Hall before the ceremony during which Canadian gay activists spoke about their struggle for marriage equality stressing the importance of supporting similar movements in other countries, including Russia.[15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23]
On 21 January 2010, the Moscow City Court upheld the decision of the Tverskoy District Court of 6 October 2009.[24][25][26] In July 2010 Irina Fedotova (Fet) and Irina Shipitko launched their complaint against Russia at the European Court of Human Rights.[27]

How Autoresponders Can Make You More Money
You've finished your brand new eBook... written a great post about it, and included a download link... it's been weeks, and only a couple of downloads.
You've rolled out your new product... built a great sales site... your sales just aren't what you projected.
You're an affiliate marketer and your new ABC program just isn't getting leads, but you've been advertising everywhere for weeks.
There's got to be some reason...right?
When you think about it... there may be several reasons for why people aren't buying from you or taking you up on your offers;
- Maybe they just got busy and forgot about your offer.
- Maybe they lost your information.
- Maybe they had to go out of town.
- Maybe there was an illness in the family.
The reasons could go on and on. But the real question is: How many sales did you lose in the past week alone because the customer didn't order from you right away?
When they don't order right away, can they just forget about you and your offer? If you don't have an effective follow up system in place, you are losing valuable customers and sales!
Some sales leads just don't become sales as quick as we would like them to. That's no reason to let them forget about you!
And it's no reason for you to forget about them!
Research indicates that it takes an average of 7 contacts to close a sale... SEVEN! If you are not following up with each of your prospects, you are leaving sales out there for your competition to grab!
When they forget about you... they head straight to your competitors!
And believe me... if your competitors aren't using Autoresponder Technology now, they will be soon.

Hugh Grant, man of the moment
Hugh Grant stars in perhaps his most impressive role in recent years: as a crusader in the UK phone hacking controversy.
There's no Four Weddings-style fumbling in his recent eloquent remarks about the News Of The World scandal in an interview with the BBC and on Question Time. And don't forget his earlier New Statesman article from April.
Maybe Grant should get into politics for real (not as Love Actually's shimmying Prime Minister dating Tiffany from EastEnders).

Public Budgets 101: How To Influence Government Spending
"If you want to know what your local government cares about â€" follow the money trail. That is what the Neighborhood Capital Budget Group (NCBG) has been doing since 1988 â€" helping residents of low-income Chicago neighborhoods understand the power and the importance of influencing government's bottom line. NCBG's goal has been to open up the budgeting process to a substantive public debate on the most important and effective expenditures to improve our neighborhoods, transparency and disclosure about where public revenues are coming from and how they're being spent, and more equitable distribution of the public wealth to communities."
Thanks to David Holtzman

HUNTINGTON, W.Va. – Marshall University long snapper Matt Cincotta was arrested on Sunday on a misdemeanor charge of underage consumption, according to the Western Regional Jail.
Cincotta, 19, was brought in to Western Regional at 4:40 a.m. Sunday by the Huntington Police Department and released at 4:30 p.m. Sunday. Bond amount was not known. Cincotta played all 12 games for the Thundering Herd in 2012, recording three tackles.
Marshall sports information director Jason Corriher said the athletic department was aware of the arrest and "will handle the matter internally, yet appropriately."

Turbine's a good developer and DC superheroes are pretty snazzy, so the new MOBA Infinite Crisis, in theory, could turn out OK.
Founder packages for the game have just been announced and they offer, among other things, immediate access to the closed beta test. But you need to pay for them, although Infinite Crisis, when it launches later this year on PC, will be a free-to-play game.
The three Founder packages range from �15 to �37.50 to �75. The more you pay, the more friends you can invite to the closed beta and the more characters you'll be able to fight as. Increasing amounts of in-game dosh are dished out for each tier as well.
The official Infinite Crisis Founders page doesn't seem to be working yet, but there's a new trailer on YouTube to have a look at that eventually gets around to showing some gameplay.

text: Hi All, Just installed the 'Gotham' family, and for some reason Fontbook is recognizing distinctly different weights all as the style 'Regular'. Is there anyway to change the meta information embedded in the font or to fix this issue? Totally weird. I've come across this issue on other forums, but with no resolution. It wouldn't be that big of a deal, but the improperly labeled weights are not accessible in Adobe CS3 so this typeface is essentially unusable. Check in the screenshots -- even though it's two different weights, the 'Style' is registering as 'Regular'. On a similar note, why do a couple fonts I have installed register each weight as a different family, rather than weights under the same family? See 'Fago' screenshot attached. Ugh. Thanks in advance.

NASA's new space exploration program, New Horizon's is aptly named. Not only is it pushing the boundaries of space exploration by venturing as far out as Pluto, it is also approaching new horizons in technology by adopting several new circuits and electronic systems designed to make the trip out to Pluto a fruitful one.
Reliability is the name of the game when designing space exploration components and this is especially true of the data recording and computing components like electromechanical latching relays, power supplies, and RTSX-SU field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). A failure in any of those systems could mean the loss of vital data collected by NASA's New Horizon's spacecraft.
Sending a probe into that far into space is no small feat, it requires each electronic component to work at peak performance for long extended periods of time under harsh conditions. One of the most fundamental components that must remain in perfect condition for optimal data collection is the FPGAs.
FPGAs help control and automate communication systems, avionics, and other payload systems that are essential for the spacecraft's operation. But their primary purpose is for managing the spacecraft's imaging camera and light measurement capabilities. This will enable the New Horizon's spacecraft to take high-resolution images of Pluto and conduct other readings like spectrometry calculations.
Naturally, before FPGAs can be placed into a functioning spacecraft and sent to Pluto, they are rigorously tested and hardened against radiation contamination and damage and are designed specifically to survive deep space and harsh conditions.
This requires highly precise light measurement, optical testing instruments capable of providing highly accurate and reliable readings to ensure that the systems are functioning at full capacity. Instrument Systems LumiCam 1300 Advanced and Konica Minolta Sensing's CA-2500 2D Color Analyzer employ high-resolution CCD sensors that provide highly accurate luminance and chromaticity distributions of screens or control panels within seconds. These systems are used in the areas of research, development, quality assurance, and production and in different industries including, aerospace, automotive, and consumer electronics.

Derby death blaze: Fuel 'found on accused man's clothes'
Traces of petrol were found on clothes belonging to a man accused of killing six of his children in a fire, a forensic expert has told a court.
Rebecca Jewell told Nottingham Crown Court traces of Total and BP fuel had been discovered on Mick Philpott's black tracksuit bottoms.
She said traces of fuel additives found in the house came from the same brands present in a strimmer from the garden.
Mr Philpott, 56, denies the manslaughter of his six children.
Mairead Philpott, 31, and a third defendant, their friend Paul Mosley, 46, also deny the manslaughter of the children, who died at their home in Allenton, Derby, last May.
'Fuel in u-bend'
Ms Jewell, who is an expert in petrol analysis, told jurors that low levels of petrol additives had been found on Mick Philpott's underwear, slippers, trainers and his socks.
Paul Mosley's clothing and shoes had traces of Total fuel additives, and so did clothing belonging to Mrs Philpott, Ms Jewell told the court.
She also said evidence of petrol was found in water taken from a sink u-bend at the house in Allenton.
Jade Philpott, 10, John, nine, Jack, eight, Jesse, six, and Jayden, five, died in the blaze at their home on Victory Road.
Their brother Duwayne, 13, died later in hospital.
The trial continues.

But yes, the 4-2-5 is a nickel D and we have seen it for the last 20 years under Lebeau. And they have used Harrison and Wood on the outside. They just get rid of fat ass on non running downs. I don't think definitions really matter, sometimes even in the 4-2-5 there is only ONE downed lineman and everyone else is standing up and moving around.
And I do think Woodley and Harrison get swallowed up by the ends more these days because the rules have clearly changed to slow them down. They are allowed to hold more. If not for that they would each be getting 15 sacks per year and in the passing oriented league there's no way the NFL is going to allow that.
At the site that is not to be named Tomlin talks about The Big Nickel package they choose to use against the Jets, that it provides versatility for them and allows them to match up from a personal standpoint and have a big body presence. He also says that they can use 3 corners and 1 safety in that base package. Tomlin claims there are more packages on the way for the season, because they have to have a variety. Good read encouraging info.
Tomlin mentioned in his PC that the big nickel was meant to provide some help against the run. The first time I saw it was third and medium - maybe 3 or 5 to go, something like that. It makes some sense -- keeping Casey in there to clog the middle while counting on a rush from the rest. I'm surprised to see that McClendon is not a part of that package - he's among the more effective inside pass rushers on the team.
Ruthless 2017 Mock Draft:
1.30 ILB Zach Cunningham 6'3" 234 Vanderbilt
2.62 OLB Jordan Willis 6'4" 255 Kansas State
3.94 CB Sidney Jones 6'0" 186 Washington
3.105c DE Tanoh Kpassagnon 6'7" 289 Villanova
4.135 CB Rasul Douglas 6'2" 209 West Virginia
5.173 RB James Conner 6'1" 233 Pittsburgh
6.213 SS Lorenzo Jerome 5'10" 204 St. Francis
7.248 TE Michael Roberts 6'4" 270 Toledo
2015 MNF Executive Champion!
I'd rotate the 4 bigs. But I think you'd get the most flexibility with Woodley and Keisel on the ends because one is a big OLB and the other is athletic enough to be an OLB.
I'd rotate a lot the way the Giants and Eagles do. Those teams get a lot of pressure out of their big guys because they're always rotating them.
It's nice to talk about this but its for naught if the QB goes no huddle and we can't get the personnel on the field. Just sayin'

Wellington -
New Zealand police said on Tuesday they were questioning two boys, aged 12 and 13, over the fatal stabbing of a shopkeeper in Auckland.
Police said the boys were taken into custody after Arun Kumar, 57, was stabbed in the neck early on Tuesday morning.
They said officers were called to reports of a robbery at the shop in suburban Henderson at 7.30am (19h30 GMT on Monday) and found Kumar seriously injured. Attempts to save him failed.
Detective-inspector Bruce Scott said the boys, who were known to police, were picked up a short time later.
"It is shocking to us that kids so young could be involved, or possibly involved, in something like this," he told reporters, saying nothing was taken in the apparent robbery gone wrong.
No charges have been laid.
New Zealand's youngest convicted killer was a 12-year-old boy who admitted to manslaughter in 2001 over his involvement in the stabbing death of a pizza delivery man. - Sapa-AFP

The Largo City Commission on Tuesday approved a tax break for a new business that is expected to bring nearly 200 full-time jobs and generate several million dollars in economic development.
By a 6-1 vote Tuesday, the commission granted the tax break under the Qualified Target Industry (QTI) tax refund program, a state incentive program designed to lure new businesses.
Commissioner Mary Black was the lone dissenter.
The name of the company was not disclosed. However, according to city documents, it is an existing international manufacturer of aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment that is proposing to relocate its U.S. headquarters to a Largo facility.
The company is planning an expansion and will create 189 new full-time positions with an annual average salary of $41,799.
QTI is an incentive program administered through the state that allows Florida communities to encourage job growth. The program provides tax refunds for each new job created in new or expanding businesses.
The tax refund requested by the company is $3,000 per job, for a total of $567,000. The state requires 20 percent of the tax refund come from local governments.
Largo will provide 10 percent, for a maximum of $56,700 over six years. Pinellas County has agreed to match that amount.
The company is expected to move into 160,000 square feet of existing manufacturing space and will spend $9-million in capital expenditures, which will generate approximately $38,482 annually in tangible personal property tax revenues for Largo.
During the meeting, Commissioner Robert Murray asked if there was a way to ensure the state was monitoring the number of new employees. He was told the company would only receive the QTI tax refund after it has documented the required job creation and made state tax payments.
Also at Tuesday's meeting:
• Commissioners moved forward with a proposal to increase city fees in an effort to offset Amendment 1, which gave homeowners tax breaks and put new limits on local governments.
The proposed increases include a variety of services, from doubling the cost for fingerprinting from $3 to $6 to a suggested increase from $25 to $35 for indebtedness property title searches.
A public hearing on the proposal is scheduled for July 1.
• Library Director Casey McPhee recommended reducing city library hours from 69 to 63 hours a week.
Under the new schedule, libraries will close at 8 p.m. instead of 9 p.m. Monday through Wednesday. On Thursdays, city libraries will close at 6 p.m. instead of 9 p.m.
Library hours will remain the same Saturdays (9 a.m. to 5 p.m.) and Sundays (1 to 5 p.m.).
The change starts Sept. 2.
The move is in response to the loss of eight full-time positions over the past two fiscal years.
"I hate it, but I understand," Mayor Pat Gerard said of the new hours.

A buddy and I played in a local worst/best doubles tournament this last weekend (first round was wost shot the second was best shot) and while we finished dead last in our division, I learned some lessons. Some of them will look really familiar.
Before I get into it, I'll say that my partner and my skill levels are quite a bit different. I'm, at best, an OK intermediate player and he's brand new to the game. Also, it was a fairly short, 21 hole course, which may impact a few of these lessons.
1. I need to work on my putting - not really anything new, it was just reenforced.
2. Driving with putters is good - I saw a lot of Surges and Wraiths being thrown on ~220' holes (there were several holes in that range) and no one was able to control where their disc landed, no matter how well they aimed.
3. Being able to drive well with a midrange or a fairway driver is better than being able to throw a distance driver far - this relates to number 2, but on longer shots, throwing a nice, easy, 300' shot with a beat Gazelle or Teebird netted much better results than throwing a high speed driver. The second group we played with (best shot round) was similar to our group. One guy who had been playing a while and one who just started. The better guy threw Wraiths and Surges farther than the newbie thew his fairway drivers, but they used the newbies shots more because he was in the fairway. There was only one shot on the course where throwing 350' instead of 300' helped at all. We were only able to take advantage of it once and even then, it just made the approach easier.
4. Beat up base plastic is good - I don't know how many intended anhyzer and straight shots I saw turn into 'S' shots and hyzers. They were almost always with high end plastic, and high speed drivers. Yes, I hit trees with my soft DX Gazelles, no the flight path did not change during the tournament. I was able to throw a turnover shot that landed flat, though. If I accidently threw it too high it just went farther, it didn't fade out into the schule. If I threw with too much hyzer or not enough anhyzer, it didn't go as far right as I wanted, it didn't go left instead.
5. Apparently I have a decent turnover shot - who knew?
6. Fewer molds in the bag make for easy disc selection - The molds I threw in the tournament include: Wizard, Element-X, Gazelle, Teebird (only twice), Spirit, Inferno (only three times--once successfully). Had the Inferno not been in my bag, I would have throw the Teebird instead and probably scored the same. I thouht my disc selection for the tournament was awesome and that's not something I could have said for the tournament I was in two years ago where I carried half as many discs, but 1.5 times as many molds.
7. See #1 - I bet we could have shaved at least 10 strokes per round if I could putt well. The pros that played scored much better than we did, but I didn't see a single drive that I couldn't pull off most of the time (we were stuck behind them in the second round). Granted it wasn't a course that was condusive to showing off cool drives and they weren't exactly 1000 rated pros, but they messed up their drives just as much as we did and spent just as much time in the schule. They also hit their putts and scored in the double digits per round better than us.
I realize that most of those were things that are discussed on here frequently, but it's nice to actually see them applied to a real couple of rounds.

A group opposed to the recall of Omaha Mayor Jim Suttle is pushing out its first TV commercial, and raising a legal question at the same time.
Nebraska Watchdog has obtained an exclusive first look at the ad, which never mentions Suttle by name and has a warning for people planning to vote on November 2nd. According to the 30 second commercial, by Forward Omaha, "On Election Day someone might illegally try to get you to sign a petition." The ad notes that by law petitioners are required to be at least 200 feet from the polling place.
The commercial is expected to start Tuesday; five days after the Mayor Suttle Recall Committee hit the streets with its petitions. The recallers need the signatures of nearly 27,000 registered voters in the City of Omaha in order to force the Mayor to resign or face the voters in a January recall election.
As Nebraska Watchdog first reported the anti-recall move has been joined by former Omaha Mayor P.J. Morgan, who is scheduled to appear with several other civic and business leaders Wednesday for a news conference announcing their opposition to the recall.

Australia's big four banks have been identified as the big winners from a watering down of Labor's financial advice reforms as they strive to protect the $2.6 billion sold last year through their financial planning arms.
Commonwealth Bank and Westpac made the most through financial planning subsidiaries, according to 2013 financial reports, collecting $914 million and $737 million respectively.
The changes to FOFA, the work of then assistant treasurer Arthur Sinodinos, are in limbo, with Finance Minister Mathias Cormann putting them on hold to consult with industry. If pushed through, they would allow the banks and AMP to reintroduce commissions and volume bonuses for advisers and sales staff, including tellers, so long as the advisers made it clear they were providing general - rather than personal - advice.
''It is actually hard to see who supports this other than the banks,'' says Tim Mackay, principal of financial adviser Quantum Financial.. ''They can motivate their bank tellers to sell as much product as they can, whether it's in the client's best interest or not.''
Changes to allow banks to benefit from providing simple advice to customers through their tellers has the potential to be big business, despite only currently accounting for a small proportion of overall profits.
While industry experts say the value of the banks' so-called vertically integrated business model - where sales staff, such as tellers, push their firm's own products - is unclear, they say the benefits are apparent.
''Direct customer channels, including simple advice provided in retail branches, is in demand from consumers and a growth area for the banks,'' PwC partner Anthony James says. ''Changes to the FOFA regime to assist growth in these increasingly profitable
channels is going to be welcomed by the banks.''
Last year the big four banks generated more than $2.6 billion through their so-called wealth management arms. Much of this - particularly relating to insurance - was sold through bank branches, while customers were inquiring about another product.
''They have a vast array of products that need to be sold, and a large number of tellers who can potentially sell them,'' Mr Mackay says. ''Effectively, the product distributors are controlling the vast majority of advice networks.''
The changes to FOFA have divided an industry that has benefited collectively from a watering down of the original reforms.
Contrary to the stance by the big four, the Financial Planning Association has opposed strongly the return of commissions, even where they were for ''general'' advice.
''Conflicted remuneration has eroded public confidence in our financial system,'' the association said in a submission to Treasury. ''Commissions encourage advisers to sell products rather than give strategic advice.''
Freedom-of-information inquiries by Fairfax Media this week revealed that 57 individuals and organisations made submissions on the Coalition's plans to amend Labor's legislation, but seven were kept secret.
Westpac said on Wednesday that it made its submission confidential because of the ''legal and technical nature'' of its content, but said it stood by the changes announced in December by Senator Sinodinos.
The Australian Bankers' Association, said the changes would mean banks would not be able to implement their ''streamlined'' business models and would face ''complicated legal and regulatory requirements'' and ''unnecessary compliance costs''. This would likely result in a complete ''re-engineering of business operations and remuneration arrangements for bank staff,'' it said.
But despite lobbying in secret for the changes, the size of the individual banks' stake in the financial planning industry are clear.
About 80 per cent of the country's financial planners are affiliated with the big four and AMP, thanks to heavy consolidation within the industry since the GFC. The revenue derived from their financial planning arms is about 10 per cent of overall profits.
Professor Peter Wells, head of accounting at University of Technology Sydney, said the growth of the banks' in-house financial planning arms was an unintended consequence of the initial FOFA reforms. ''The financial institutions simply employed financial planners [rather than paying them commissions] and they typically directed customers to their products,'' he said.
He said the reforms, even without the changes, still failed to recognise the conflict of interest inherent in the banks' business model.
''Arguably, financial institutions can't provide quality and independent financial advice as long as they sell their [own] products,'' he said.
In correspondence to shareholders, the banks themselves have acknowledged the value of selling their own products through their branches.
In an investor presentation from February, Westpac's BT Financial said earnings had risen 13 per cent from a year earlier due to ''deeper cross-sell'' of its products to bank customers.
Similarly, ANZ chief executive Mike Smith told shareholders in the bank's annual report that its global wealth division was ''focused on cross-sell'' - a strategy that had led to an 11 per cent increase in the number of ANZ customers holding wealth products in 2013.
The bank said it had been helped in part by a ''much improved penetration of wealth products into our existing customer banks'', and an ''increase in branch distribution of insurance products''.
With the continued growth of the $1.7 trillion super savings, Mr James said it was important for banks to ensure they met customers' needs through high-quality products.
