Non-Football Story Of The Day
'A gang of pink sari-wearing vigilantes who thrash wife-beating husbands are taking on Bollywood in a row over a movie over their exploits in northern India. The Gulabi Gang - or Pink Gang - dispense instant justice with hefty poles to cruel husbands, corrupt politicians and crooked police chiefs in Uttar Pradesh state. Now they've threatened to thrash movie producers making a film about the gang's creator Sampat Pal too unless they like the final cut.
Spokeswoman Jaiprakash Shivhare said: "We run a group that helps women in distress. But we are sceptical as to how all of this will be shown in a film. "We also think it would be appropriate it if they can give us some compensation. We can help women with that money." Director Anubhav Sinha, said: "It's too early for anyone to talk about this film" - Orange.

Bloody Impressive Non-Football Story Of The Day
'A French swimmer without legs and arms has successfully swum the frigid waters separating Alaska and Russia. Philippe Croizon, whose limbs were amputated after a 1994 electrical accident, completed his swim from Alaska's Little Diomede Island to the Russian maritime border near Big Diomede Island. Mr Croizon had intended to swim all the way to the shoreline of Big Diomede, but regional Russian authorities denied him permission to enter the territory. His swim to Russian waters took about an hour and 15 minutes and he was accompanied by his friend, Arnaud Chassery. Mr Croizon uses paddle-like prosthetics to swim, and has completed crossings of the English Channel, the Red Sea and other major waterways.
'His Bering Strait swim was the last in a series of expeditions across waterways that separate continents, according to Handicap International, the non-profit organisation that helped organise the Alaska swim. "I wanted to say that we both linked the five continents despite one country's objection," said Mr Croizon. "Just to say that nothing is impossible. We can all succeed in life despite of what happens to us. There is no difference. We are all equal." He now plans to travel to London to work as a radio and television commentator during the Paralympics' - Orange.

Non-Football Story Of The Day
'Protesters dressed in bowler hats and black suits to stage a sit-in on toilets on an Australian beach. Titled The Coalition of the Constipated, the bizarre protest was over the lack of public toilets at Adelaide's Henley Beach. Twelve protesters carried their own toilets down to the beach, placing them in a line, before dropping their trousers and sitting. Surreal artist Andrew Baines came up with the idea, and will now paint the scene for an exhibition in January 2013. "I think this is the job of an artist to take these issues to the wider community and let people talk about it," he said.
'Beachgoers often have to ask local cafe owners to use their toilets, disturbing customers and inconveniencing the owners. Kym Hewitt, a local business owner, said he sympathised with beachgoers faced with little choice. "The public toilets are not up to scratch at all and quite often we have a lot of people coming through to the cafe, sort of not really dressed for the cafe," he said. The Australian Broadcasting Corporation reported that the local council is currently consulting the community about the best place to build public toilets' - Orange.

Kiss Your Keyboard and Mouse Goodbye With The Leap
Since Steven Spielberg expertly crafted it a decade ago, the world has been clamoring for a user interface similar to what was found in sci-fi thriller Minority Report. Even the inkling of flipping through applications and swiping screens in mid-air made geeks tingle all over, but aside from expertly developed hacks on the Xbox Kinect, nothing definitive seemed to break through and truly give the public that enticing functionality of the future.
That is, until now. After more than five years of development, a proprietary technology has emerged that synthesizes the shape and movement of the human hand to produce movement onto a computer. It’s called The Leap — and for an astonishingly low price of $70, you can begin to control a computer with nothing more than your hands, as early as next February.

Women Who Have Unprotected Sex Are Happier, Smarter Thanks to Mood-Elevating Properties of Semen
Researchers from SUNY Albany have authored a study which claims that certain chemicals found in semen can have a positive effect on the physical and mental health of women who frequently engage in unprotected sex.
Semen is known to contain such "mood-altering chemicals" as estrone and oxytocin, which elevate mood; cortisol, which promotes affection; serotonin, which acts as an antidepressant; and melatonin, which induces sleep.
Using data obtained from an anonymous survey of 293 females on campus, Gordon Gallup and Rebecca Burch, working alongside University of Liverpool psychologist Steven Platek, were able to determine that women who engage in oral sex or have unprotected sex on a regular basiswere happier than those who practiced safe sex.

Drunk Man Catches Wife Sexting, Confers With Cats, Then Wakes Her Up With Handgun
There is nothing not weird and wonderful about this crime story out of Oregon. It involves drinking, sexting, and getting stoned while talking to cats.
And no one was injured, so we can all enjoy it guilt-free.
Thomas Paul Nunes, husband of former Oregon City police lieutenant Lisa Nunes, already had some trouble with guns. In 1995, he got drunk and stole a couple of his wife's shotguns for some aimless shooting. Thomas lost his eye when police returned fire, but somehow his marriage remained intact.
Things deteriorated over the years, however, culminating in a bizarre incident on June 23. Three weeks after Lisa's retirement from the force, the on-the-rocks couple decided to go out drinking. While bar-hopping, Lisa started getting dick pics and other sexts from a friend.
I'm 54 years old. I have a relationship with my husband that's non-existent ... I was just sexting a guy. It was no big deal.
But it was a big deal to Thomas, who said he felt "betrayed" that his wife was sexting right in front of him. And really, who wouldn't? The way he chose to handle it, though, is not so defensible.
Thomas grabbed his wife's phone and took it home, where he pored over her texts. Then he went through her Facebook to see if any attractive young men were poking her. At this point, we arrive at the article's high point, pun fully intended—
Shaken, [Thomas] said he smoked marijuana and talked to his cats for about 20 minutes to calm himself and "reason out a plan."
If you're thinking about doing something stupid, do not turn to your cats for answers. They will not talk you out of it.
Hours later, Thomas found his wife sleeping in the guest room and decided to wake her up. That's his story — it's possible he was just drunk, baked, and a terrible shot. But the bullet ended up a full foot above Lisa's head, so the "I meant to do that" defense is somewhat reasonable. Still a terrible way to wake someone up.
Then came his one smart move: Thomas decided to turn the gun over to the Oregon Police Department.
But he bungled that by entering the police station with the weapon concealed, strapped to his ankle. That is a bad idea for anyone, but especially for someone who was previously involved in a gunfight with police.
"The mind is boggled," Judge Kathie F. Steele said. Boggled — but also kind of amused, right?
Thomas has been sentenced to 10 years in prison. Lisa filed for divorce a week after the incident. She was not charged with anything, because sexting is not a crime.
The Nunes' cats were unavailable for comment.
