An alleged 'sex attacker' pretended to have a seizure then groped a woman who offered him support, a court heard.
Michael Gayle, 55, was seen having a fit in the street in Lambeth on August 31.
A woman rushed to his aid to make sure he was OK, only to have him grab ahold of her for a "long time", forcing her to struggle to get away from him, said the judge.

He was then reportedly seen getting on the bus immediately after, suggesting that he was not having a seizure, added the judge at Westminster Magistrates' Court.
Gayle appeared in court wearing a black hoodie and holding a crutch, accused of sexually assaulting the woman on Norwood Road, Tulse Hill.
District Judge Angus Hamilton said: "We're talking about him going into a complete charade and pretending to have some form of seizure then grabbing hold of her for a long time and forcing her to struggle for a long time to get away from him.

Dining Room (también conocido como Dining Room Table) es el nombre de un comercial televisivo realizado por la agencia de publicidad Deutsch Inc. para IKEA en 1994, y que es considerado el primer anuncio en televisión emitido en Estados Unidos que presentaba abiertamente una pareja homosexual.

Antecedentes
En junio de 1992 se había emitido en Estados Unidos un comercial de Kmart —con ocasión del Día del Padre— en donde se sugería la relación sentimental entre dos hombres que aparecen comprando, sin embargo la empresa negó tal situación y señalaba que dichos personajes ya habían aparecido en comerciales anteriores con sus respectivas esposas. En el comercial se observaba a dos hombres comprando una motosierra y uno de ellos toma del hombro al otro mientras caminan alejándose del plano de cámara.

El primer comercial televisivo que mostraba explícitamente parejas homosexuales (tanto de gays como lesbianas) fue emitido en Países Bajos en 1992, y que correspondía a la aseguradora AMEV. Al año siguiente, un anuncio del periódico danés Politiken mostró el primer beso gay en un comercial televisivo; dicha publicidad fue realizada por Lars von Trier.

Producción
Realizado por la agencia publicitaria Deutsch Inc. y con Patrick O'Neill como director de arte, el anuncio presentaba a dos actores (John Sloman —quien también es abiertamente gay— y Scott Blakeman) que interpretaban respectivamente a Steve y Mitch, una pareja gay que llevaba alrededor de 3 años juntos y presentan de manera testimonial la búsqueda en una tienda IKEA de una nueva mesa para el comedor de su casa. Además de la búsqueda de la mesa, los personajes hablan sobre la forma en que se conocieron y sus planes a futuro.

El comercial fue emitido por primera vez el 30 de marzo de 1994 en estaciones de televisión locales en Nueva York, Filadelfia y Washington D.C. en horario nocturno, siendo también planificada su emisión en Los Ángeles. El anuncio formaba parte de una serie de comerciales de IKEA en que se presentaban diferentes tipos de familias y sus integrantes; algunos de ellos presentaban, por ejemplo, a una madre divorciada y una pareja heterosexual con un hijo adoptivo.

Reacciones
IKEA recibió más de 3000 llamados telefónicos sobre dicho comercial, de los cuales 307 contenían opiniones negativas, y la empresa recibió publicidad gratuita, ya que por ejemplo CNN exhibió el comercial 38 veces en sus bloques informativos al cubrir la noticia de las reacciones a su emisión. Stuart Elliott, columnista de publicidad de The New York Times, señaló que el anuncio de IKEA buscaba que la marca obtuviera el «Gay Housekeeping Seal of Approval» («sello de aprobación del dueño de casa gay»). Scott Sherman, integrante de New York Communications and Advertising Network, señaló opiniones favorables para el comercial.

La emisión del comercial de IKEA generó protestas por parte de grupos conservadores y católicos; algunas de las sucursales de la tienda en la costa oeste de los Estados Unidos sufrieron el colapso de sus líneas telefónicas por parte de manifestantes que expresaban su malestar por dicho anuncio. Una tienda en Hicksville (Nueva York) sufrió una amenaza de bomba, la cual fue descartada tras la evacuación del local. A pesar de las protestas de dichos grupos, IKEA continuó con su campaña en las semanas siguientes y desistió de retirar su anuncio televisivo.

The Snow is coming…click her to find out when?
. Some significant lake effect snow is coming our way starting Wednesday morning, but it sounds like a Wednesday night is when it will cause some problems on the roads.
On Wednesday morning, winds will align over Lake Erie and begin to generate bands of lake effect snow. Initially, the snow will be light to moderate, but later Wednesday through Thursday, snowfall rates may intensify and make travel very difficult.
Another weaker area of low pressure will pass to our south on Friday. That will quell the lake effect for a bit but more widespread light snow is possible as that storm passes by. Behind it though, round two of lake effect snow will likely crank back up for Saturday and Sunday",according to WGRZ.

Unless you are embarking on a safari that involves a great deal of walking or riding (and that means on a camel, and not in a jeep), the plain truth is that most of the above outfit, no matter how stylish, is totally redundant. For the majority of Kenyan safaris, you actually do very little walking at all since most of the reserves and game parks insist that you remain in your vehicle. So the stout shoes and the comfortable socks can probably be dispensed with unless, of course you seriously intend to try and walk, in case, pack them. But remember, one thing about walking in the reserve: if it is allowed, and do check with your lodge for details, you will always have to go with a ranger. Never set off for a walk on your own.
Before we go any further with the packing list, a word first about luggage. You will spend a lot of time in dusty jeeps travelling from one game park to another, so you should have solid luggage that fastens tightly against the all pervasive dust. Since some lodges like the Ark encourage you to take nothing more than an overnight bag, it makes sense to pack a smaller bag for any overnight trips when you can safely leave the bulk of luggage at your basecamp. Soft luggage makes the best sense for travelling in Kenya since it can be fitted into the back of a jeep with more ease.
Remember to take padlocks and keys. For the day time, when you go out for your game drives, a small study bag or rucksack ids a good idea. Study, because it will get the most bouncing of all your luggage and will be exposed to dust too. The padded camera bag or rucksack is ideal not only for protecting your camera gear during the drives, but you will also be able to fit in some of the "extras" you will want to take along for the day: paper tissues, perhaps a pack of moist towelettes, your wildlife reference books, your binoculars and all that extra film you will need.
Once the luggage has been selected, what will you pack in it for your safari? Well, first things first, there is no need to "dress up" on safari. No one dresses for dinner, so other than a smart out fit for the hotels and restaurants in Nairobi and Mombasa, out in the bush you will need only loose, cool, comfortable clothing. Light-weight cotton trousers and shorts, tee-shirts and cotton shirts, comfortable shoes, and, for an early morning drives and the evening, a warm sweater and an anorak.
If you are planning any bush walking, however leisurely, do make sure that your shoes are comfortable and "broken in", and under no circumstances should you wear sandals in the bush - unless you wish to scratched and, possibly, stung or bitten by something. Trousers rather than shorts and long-sleeved shirts are the most sensible combination for they protect you from too much sun and also from mosquitoes in the evenings.
With all that ever present red Kenyan dust round, you will get grimy but laundry can be done overnight in most camps and lodges so there is no need to weigh your bags down with too many changes of outfit - save your luggage space for a wonderful Kisii soapstone carving instead!
Do bear one thing in mind: if you are also combining your safari with a stint on the beach at Mombasa, you will need to pack more conservative clothing for the coast is essentially a Muslim dominated area.beach wear will be fine for the Mombasa beaches but definitely not for exploring the old town or for a trip to Lamu. A way from the beaches, women should make sure that their shoulders are covered and that they wear skirts that reach the knees at least, and men should avoid wearing shorts.
What else should be on your packing list? A swimming costume, for those rare moments when you find that there is no game drive, no wildlife checklist to be updated and no diary to be written. A good sunhat that will shade your neck as well as your face and good subglasses. A small torch is useful, as is an all-purpose knife, such as Swiss Army knife. Bring any prescription medicines with you for out in the bush there will be no chemist available, and also a small first-aid kit for any cuts and bruises.
Do not forget to suntan lotion and after sun products, a good moisturising cream and a lip moisturising stick for windy and dusty rides will take their toll on your skin and lips. Sad to say, a mosquito repellent is a must and also whatever the malaria tablets your doctor at home prescribed - remember to start the course before leaving for Kenya, and, imperatively, to complete it on your return home.
Bring a sufficient amount of reading material to tide you through your flights and those occasional evenings when you find you have enough energy left to read after your 6.00 a.m. start. Binoculars are invaluable. Photography enthusiasts should make sure that they pack far more film than they expect to use, for you will definitely take more than you think, as spare batteries for the camera and for your flashgun, plus a camera cleaning kit.
Breakfast consists of all the usual items found in an English-style breakfast such as eggs of all kinds, sausages and various cold meats, bread and lots of fresh fruit, plus, of course, tea and coffee, both of which are grown in the country. Lunch and dinner are usually huge, lavish buffet spreads with soup, salad, lots of meat, sometimes fish, a wide choice of vegetables, potatoes and rice or pasta. Deserts are usually sweet and filling, and there is always some fruit on offer.
All of this food is good, there is usually far too much to eat and it is an even more impressive spread when you remember that you are kilometres from anywhere, surrounded by savannah grasslands and wild animals. Given all these constraints, it is perhaps carrying gastronomic criticism a little too far to say that the food is bland. You will eat copiously on your safari, you will eat well, but sad to say, your meals will not be memorable ones.
On the drinks' front Kenyan beer is excellent and widely available. One of the pleasures of safari life, after a shower to rinse off all that red dust, is to sit down in the evening, slightly sunburned and pleasantly tired, and have a glass of ice cold Tusker.

Many people may not be aware of the fact that teenagers may contribute to IRA's. The only requirement to contribute to an IRA is the taxpayer must have earned income. Earned income is income derived from working, as opposed to investment earnings, which are not considered earned income. Annual IRA contributions are limited to the amount of the taxpayer's earned income during the year and are capped at $5,500 for those under age 50. This means any teenager who works a summer job is eligible to contribute to an IRA. Teenagers have a few special circumstances which make the Roth IRA a particularly attractive investment vehicle.
Teenagers' youth gives their retirement savings more time to grow than the rest of us have. Assuming a 7% annual return, if a 17 year old who plans to retire at age 67 makes a $5,500 contribution, that amount would grow to $162,000 by retirement. The same contribution made by a 27 year old would only grow to $82,000 by age 67. This early start amounts to roughly a doubling of the investment account balance by retirement age. Keep in mind investments held in an IRA grow tax free.
If a teenager's only income was a part time job it is likely they would have a very small tax liability, if any, making the Roth IRA a much more attractive option than the Traditional IRA. The tax savings lost from the Traditional IRA deduction given up would be minimal. Also, Roth IRA distributions during retirement are not taxable, whereas Traditional IRA distributions are.
Since most teenagers live at home with their parents a large percentage of their income is likely to be disposable income. It is one of the few times in their life they will have the opportunity to save most of what they earn. Although they will have a much higher income later in life, setting aside a few thousand dollars may be more difficult to do once they are financially responsible for themselves.
Even if the teenager does not want to invest their money, a generous parent may choose to make a contribution on their child's behalf. Parental contributions are permissible as long as the contribution does not exceed the amount of earned income the child had during the year.
For more advice on the most tax efficient savings vehicles for your goals, consult your tax advisor.

Newspaper's Notoriously Anti-Union Editorial Page Thanks VSEA For Public Records Lawsuit Victory!!
"[The Caledonian Record] applauds the VSEA for fighting the good fight. We often fight (and win) but it typically costs us thousands in legal fees. We hope the VSEA's victory becomes a victory for all of us."
Miracles really do happen!
A Big Score For The Public
Newspapers are often stonewalled by bureaucrats when they ask for public information. Vermont's open record laws are so weak that there was little risk to a self-serving official to deny reasonable requests. Even when we win lawsuits against various government agencies (of which we have a distinguished record), there is no guarantee a judge will also award us our legal fees. The sheer cost of an action, therefore, is enough to stymie the majority of people from challenging the government that is supposed to serve them. That, tragically, perpetuates secrecy in government.
This week, Superior Court Judge Geoffrey Crawford shocked the bureaucracy by awarding the Vermont State Employees Association (VSEA) more than $6,000 in legal fees, agreeing with the union that the state violated the law by billing the union $1,300 to view records related to the elimination of a union job. Judge Crawford said: "The state's position was not supported by the language of the statute, by its history, or by subsequent case law. It represents a statement of what the administration wished the statute to say rather than what it actually says."
His language is strong enough to hope the rest of the court will fall into line and begin paying attention to the purpose of the law, i.e. freeing up public access to information, not hiding it behind fancy legal maneuvering.
We applaud the VSEA for fighting the good fight. We often fight (and win) but it typically costs us thousands in legal fees. We hope the VSEA's victory becomes a victory for all of us.

Thierry Henry: Lonely at the Top
Philippe Auclair
'Illuminated by finely turned phrases and vivid insights' - Richard Williams, Guardian Sports Books of the Year.
Thierry Henry - gifted, charismatic and a genuinely world-class footballer - has passed into Arsenal legend as the hero of a team that finally ended Manchester United's dominance. But as he approached the autumn of his career, Thierry's crown began to slip - from the infamous 'Hand of Gaul' incident to a dismal World Cup 2010 campaign.
Suddenly, a player who Arsene Wenger once dubbed 'the greatest striker ever', a man who had spent his career at the very top of the game, began to learn how lonely such a position could be. Drawing from numerous interviews and impeccable sources, as well as his own observations over the course of Henry's entire career, award-winning author Philippe Auclair has produced the most complete portrait of the Arsenal hero ever to be written. Clear-eyed, lyrical and passionately argued, Thierry Henry: Lonely at the Top is as raw, shocking and thought-provoking as it is celebratory of Henry's outstanding flair and talent.
Philippe Auclair has been France Football's and RMC Radio's UK correspondent for over a decade, and is a prolific freelance journalist on both sides of the Channel. In 2009 he wrote the critically acclaimed and prize-winning Cantona: The Rebel Who Would Be King. He is also a regular contributor to The Blizzard magazine, and a bestselling author in his native France. He lives in London.
