This Is the First Wedding In the World Filmed With Ultra-High Definition 3D Cameras [Video]

I always hated video in weddings. The quality always look so cheesy. But not this one. This one was filmed with RED Epic cameras on 5K resolution and 3D! These are the same cameras that Peter Jackson is using for The Hobbit or Ridley Scott used for Prometheus. More »

Syria fighter pilot defects in new blow to Assad

A Syrian pilot sought political asylum after landing his MiG fighter jet in neighbouring Jordan on Thursday, in the first such defection of a revolt a watchdog says has killed more than 15,000 people.

"The pilot asked for political asylum in Jordan," Information Minister Samih Maayatah told AFP, after a government official said the MiG-21 had made an emergency landing at a base in Mafraq in northern Jordan, near Syria.

Syria's state television said the warplane, flown by Colonel Hassan Merei al-Hamade, was flying near the border when contact was lost around 0734 GMT, and Jordan said it landed across the frontier minutes later.

Tens of thousands of soldiers have defected from Syria's armed forces since a revolt erupted in March last year, thousands of them joining the rebel Free Syrian Army, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.

Diplomats stepped up efforts to stem the bloodshed, with Arab states demanding that Russia stop supplying arms to Syria and the United States and Britain reportedly working on a power transition plan.

"Any assistance to violence must be ceased because when you supply military equipment, you help kill people. This must stop," Arab League deputy chief Ahmed Ben Hilli told Interfax news agency.

Ben Hilli also called for the mandate of United Nations and Arab League envoy Kofi Annan to be revamped, and for Iran's inclusion in talks on ending the conflict.

"To make (the Annan) plan work, we need to find a new mechanism and the mandate of the special envoy must be reassessed, so we can be sure that all the sides are observing the plan," he said without elaborating.

His remarks came as British newspaper The Guardian reported that Washington and London were working on an initiative for regime change in Damascus based on Annan's UN-backed plan that calls for a "Syrian-led political transition."

But Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said any peace plan for Syria that calls on President Bashar al-Assad to leave power and go into exile would not work because he would not quit.

"A scheme according to which President Assad should leave somewhere before something happens in terms of a cessation of violence and a political process, this scheme simply does not work from the very start," Lavrov said.

"It is infeasible because he will not leave."

Lavrov, whose country remains in close contact with Assad's government, indicated that the Syrian leader was not ready to negotiate his removal from power because he still enjoyed popular support.

"I do not think Assad will be sitting down at the negotiating table," said Lavrov, adding that May 7 legislative polls showed a majority still backed the Syrian leader.

Robert Ford, the US ambassador to Syria, called on Syria's military, from foot soldiers to senior officers, to reconsider their support for Assad, warning those committing atrocities will be hunted down and prosecuted.

The US and global community "will work with the Syrian people to locate the military members responsible for this violence and hold them accountable. And we will support the future Syrian government?s efforts to bring those people to justice," Ford said in a message on his Facebook page.

In the latest bloodshed, at least 77 people were killed in violence across Syria on Thursday, among them 49 civilians, 26 soldiers, and two rebels, said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.

At least 13 civilians were killed in the flashpoint central city of Homs and another two unidentified people died in nearby Quasyr, the Observatory's Rami Abdel Rahman told AFP.

Streaming video from Homs on the bambuser.com website showed smoke billowing from a residential district as the staccato of automatic gunfire was punctuated by the thud of mortar blasts.

Elsewhere, eight soldiers and a rebel were killed in heavy fighting at Armanaz, near Turkey in the northwestern province of Idlib, following a rebel attack on an army barracks, said the Observatory.

In the southern province of Daraa, cradle of the uprising, at least 18 people were killed as the town of Inkhel was shelled and stormed by troops who then carried out a series of raids.

"If the international community remains silent and happy to just observe the situation, more blood will flow in Syria," the Observatory's Rami Abdel Rahman told AFP.

"The violence has only become worse in the past two months, and will become more bitter," he added.

According to a new toll given on Thursday, the Observatory said at least 10,480 civilians, 3,715 soldiers and 830 army defectors have been killed in the crackdown and in clashes since March last year.

The fresh bloodshed has halted a planned evacuation of hundreds of stranded civilians from the Homs area by the International Committee of the Red Cross and the Syrian Arab Red Crescent.

"Negotiations are still underway with the parties concerned to evacuate civilians, in cooperation with the ICRC," Khaled Erksoussi, the Red Crescent operations chief in Syria, told AFP.

"The teams on site are awaiting the green light to evacuate civilians from the parties who control the dangerous neighbourhood. We need to reach an agreement with them to ensure our security," he said, referring to the rebels.

The Red Cross said it made a request for a temporary halt in fighting on Tuesday to the government and opposition, both of which said they would respect the pause.

Last week the Observatory said more than 1,000 families were stuck in the region around Homs and spoke of dozens of people wounded in urgent need of medical care.

Business networking gets jolt from technology in Folsom, El Dorado ...

FOLSOM CA - Business cards, handshakes and appetizers are traditional for most business mixers, but on June 21, expect the ?traditional? to get a jolt of technology.

That?s the day uLinkNetwork.com is holding a Mega Mixer, from 5 to 8 p.m. at Lake Natoma Inn, 702 Gold Lake Drive, in Folsom. There will be food, swag bags for the first 150 to arrive, and giveaway gift cards amounting to $500 in value.

The mixer will be attended by business professionals from all over the Sacramento region. Members are free, and nonmembers pay a $10 admission charge.

The network is brain child of Jim Pelley, a founding organizer of Folsom Lake Bank and owner of Laughter Works Seminars, and Adam Frick, creator of FolsomLiving.com. The network went live in 2010.

?For about six or seven years (we) thought there?s got to be a better way to connect people,? Pelley said. ?To leverage technology but still have part of it face-to-face in relationship building that you need to give a confident business referral. The belief that it works all online just does not work, and the belief that it works all face-to-face doesn?t work.?

Frick said uLinkNetwork makes it easy to manage referrals through its smartphone app. With traditional groups, passing referrals in writing and by hand at meetings makes for a cumbersome and inefficient process.

?We?re true 21st century networking,? Frick said. ?When you need a referral from uLinkNetwork, you get a text message on your phone instantly to let you know that you have a lead. So you don?t have to wait until the meeting, you get that referral right away.?

The referral is received and follow-up up occurs with the touch of a thumb, using the uLink technology, and the whole interchange is logged and recorded in the system instantly.

Besides the technology, the network offers twice monthly face to face meetings, monthly mixers, and Professional Organizational Development (POD) silos, which provide a venue for individual professions to meet regularly with those in their own field to go over industry issues.

?Another thing that has been really amazing for me with the group is that it?s not just a networking group,? said member Andi Redden, who owns Elite Fitness Coaching. ?It?s a business development group. So we have speakers come in. I?ve learned so much about social media, and how to market myself using the Internet, which I really wasn?t very familiar with.?

The network consists of many groups, including five groups with a total of 95 members in the Folsom/El Dorado Hills area, Pelley said, and altogether 15 groups in the Sacramento region. There are additional groups in Houston, Texas, and the Seattle/Bellevue area of Washington.

?As far as we know, there is no other organization that is a network of groups,? Pelley said. ?Our philosophy is, it?s within the network, it?s whoever is best to serve the client. So a member in Folsom can refer to an attorney in Elk Grove if they feel that?s the best.?

Pelley and Frick outlined other ways in which uLinkNetwork is an improvement over traditional networking organizations.

It allows for a member of a particular profession for each 10 members in the group. So a group with 30 members could have, for example, three financial planners, or three real estate agents, Pelley said, allowing more latitude selecting the best professional for a specific need.

?A whole other avenue is we give each member a stand-alone Internet website that is fully optimized and search-engine marketed,? Pelley said.

Folsom resident Dan Ryan, who owns Daniel Ryan Insurance Agency, has been a member for about eight months.

?Most groups meet every week and I found that very difficult to commit to and still try and see clients and operate my business,? Ryan said. ?uLink meets just twice a month, so the meetings are a little bit more powerful. ... The other thing I really like is the technology portion of the networking. The technology is really ... the driving factor of why I got back into networking groups.?

Matthew 'Zeke' Bent Guilty Of Battery In Flame Attack On Michael Brewer

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- A teenager accused of orchestrating an attack that left his classmate in flames was convicted Tuesday of aggravated battery after jurors decided against more serious charges.

Matthew "Zeke" Bent faced a charge of attempted second-degree murder after prosecutors say he offered friends money in 2009 to harm Michael Brewer, who was doused in rubbing alcohol and set on fire. The six jurors, who deliberated for just over a day, had the option of finding him guilty of a lesser offense.

Brewer suffered severe burns over 65 percent of his body but survived after leaping into an apartment complex swimming pool.

The Brewer family had been in court for much of the trial, but weren't present Tuesday.

"The Brewers respect the jury's decision. Now it's time for Michael to get on with his life. ...And today he has closure," said their attorney, Jeanne Brady.

Prosecutors echoed Brady.

"Michael Brewer spent the last three years healing from his physical wounds. And now he's moving on with his emotional wounds," said Kal Le Var Evans, an assistant state attorney.

A defense attorney said the three years that Bent has been in jail awaiting trial was already a hefty penalty.

"He thought that three years for his involvement was quite substantial," said defense attorney Perry Thurston, Jr. "He's disappointed."

Bent and two other teens were charged with second-degree attempted murder, which carries a prison sentence of as many as 30 years. Denver "D.C." Jarvis, 17, and 18-year-old Jesus Mendez pleaded no contest earlier and were sentenced to eight and 11 years behind bars, respectively.

Bent faces a maximum term of 15 years at his sentencing hearing on July 23. His lawyers said they plan to file an appeal.

Bent initially intended to plead no contest as well, but backed out at the last minute and opted for trial. His attorneys insisted he was not the instigator of the attack and never intended to hurt Brewer.

Prosecutors had urged jurors not to let Bent sidestep guilt because he had others carry out the attack.

"Don't let him get away with letting other people do his dirty work for him," Assistant State Attorney Maria Schneider said of the defendant during closing arguments Monday. "Matthew Bent was the reason why this crime happened. He was offering people money to beat Michael, not to scare Michael."

Defense attorney Johnny McCray said the state was overreaching with its prosecution of Bent.

"An innocent child doesn't have to be convicted to bring justice to Michael Brewer," McCray told the jury that began deliberations Monday afternoon.

The defense did not call a single witness, and Bent did not testify.

Brewer testified that he stayed home from school the day of the attack because he was afraid of Bent. The two had gotten into a dispute over a marijuana pipe that Bent was trying to force Brewer to buy, Brewer testified. Bent then allegedly tried to steal a bicycle belonging to Brewer's father, which led to Bent's arrest.

"I was afraid," Brewer testified. "I thought something was going to happen to me."

After school the day of the attack, Brewer decided to visit a friend at a nearby apartment complex. On the way he encountered a group of boys including Bent, Jarvis and Mendez.

The boys had found a jug of rubbing alcohol by chance on a low wall alongside the complex, and Jarvis testified that Bent offered him $5 or $10 to pour it on Brewer. Other boys said Bent offered the group $5 each to punch Brewer.

Jarvis did douse Brewer and Mendez then flicked a lighter he was holding, sparking the blaze. In a statement to police, Mendez said he never expected the liquid to ignite so explosively.

Brewer spent months in the hospital, undergoing seven skin graft operations, followed by months more of rehabilitation and physical therapy. He testified that he still feels pain in his back and legs but said he remembers little after diving into the pool.

"I started getting really cold, and then I started seeing blur," Brewer said.
