IOL: Lawyer determined to get The Simpsons off air
Moscow - A Russian lawyer plans to take his case against The Simpsons to the European Court of Human Rights.
It comes after a Moscow Court rejected Igor Smykov's appeal to have the show banned from Russian TV.
Mr Smykov wanted to have the cartoon series taken off the air in Russia, or at least shown at a later time, claiming it promoted drugs, violence and homosexuality.
He also demanded £6 000 (about R4,5-million) in compensation from TV channel REN-TV saying the show had morally damaged his nine-year-old son.

Can the Canadians save us from the Evil George Bush starting an intergalactic war?
Click here to send your letter to the Parliament of Canada requesting public "ET" Hearings: PEACEINSPACE.NET
I’m glad to know that the Canadians are working on “the most important problems facing our planet today.” If they weren’t how could we possibly take them seriously? All hail Canadia!
“From 1963-1967, Hon. Paul Hellyer was Minister of National Defence of Canada in the cabinet of Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson, who won a Nobel Peace Prize. On September 25, 2005, at the Toronto Exopolitics Symposium held at Convocation Hall, University of Toronto, former Minister of National Defence Hellyer stated: "UFOs, are as real as the airplanes that fly over your head," and "I'm so concerned about what the consequences might be of starting an intergalactic war, that I just think I had to say something."
Former Minister of Defence Hellyer went on to state: "The time has come to lift the veil of secrecy, and let the truth emerge, so there can be a real and informed debate, about one of the most important problems facing our planet today." Mr. Hellyer stated the Canadian people may be threatened with the consequences of war in outer space over our sovereign territory: "The United States military are preparing weapons which could be used against the aliens, and they could get us into an intergalactic war without us ever having any warning."

Orlando's median home hits $261,300 - OrlandoSentinel.com:
Orlando was the second-hottest market in the country for existing-home sales during the third quarter. The median price of a single-family home soared to $261,300, a jump of nearly 45 percent from a year earlier, a national trade group reported Tuesday.
Orlando's median price in the third quarter was up from $180,500 a year earlier. Nationally, the third-quarter median was $215,900, and the 14.7 percent year-over-year gain was the second-greatest on record for the Realtors association, a spokesman for the trade group said.

Dogs: A Heart Patient's Best Friend - Yahoo! News
Dogs: A Heart Patient's Best Friend - Yahoo! News
"Dogs are a great comfort," says study leader Kathie Cole of the UCLA Medical Center. "They make people happier, calmer and feel more loved. That is huge when you are scared and not feeling well."
Anxiety scores dropped 24 percent among patients interacting with a dog. Scores dropped 10 percent when only a human visited. The group that got no visit exhibited no change.
"This study demonstrates that even a short-term exposure to dogs has beneficial physiological and psychosocial effects on patients who want it,"
