The international MMA press listed last year's Glory World Series finals in Moscow in the top 3 fighting events of the year. Golden Glory fighters Gokhan Saki and Siyar Bahadurzada both won the $150.000- championship prize.

GG and TSA have signed up Golden Glory K-1 superstars Semmy Schilt, Gokhan Saki, Errol Zimmerman and Sergey Kharitonov to exclusive long term contracts, thus ending several disputes between the fighters and former K-1-promoter FEG about outstanding payments and discussions about acquiring the K-1 brand. "We decided to focus on the athletes again, who have dedicated their lives and careers to reach unmatched levels of martial arts skill," TSA and GG state.

The Glory World Series shows from Moscow are broadcasted in over 80 countries. Total Sports Asia will be distributing the TV rights of the event worldwide.

- One year polio-free anniversary underscores success of comprehensive approach to eradication

Health leaders around the world today will acknowledge an important achievement in the fight against polio as India marks one year since the last recorded case of wild poliovirus in the country.

To view the multimedia assets associated with this release, please visit: http://www.multivu.com/mnr/49366-gates-foundation-commends-india-on-one-year-polio-free

This success is the result of the Government of India's hard work and great partnerships with Rotary International, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, WHO and UNICEF as well as millions of volunteers, health workers and community leaders.

Bill Gates, co-chair of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, issued the following statement on this occasion:

"This is a major milestone in the global fight against polio. Children in India are now protected against this debilitating, but preventable disease, bringing us one step closer to saving and improving the lives of all children.

"Polio can be stopped when countries combine the right elements - political will, quality immunization campaigns, and an entire nation's determination. We must build on this historic moment and ensure that India's polio program continues to move full-steam ahead until eradication is achieved.

"By continuing to raise the funds needed to run the global campaign, world leaders can ultimately save billions of dollars and help to ensure that no child ever suffers from this crippling disease again.

"I congratulate the Government of India, Prime Minister Singh, Union Health Minister Azad, the Chief Ministers - especially of Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and West Bengal - and the millions of individuals who have contributed to this success. India's story illustrates the possibility of tremendous progress even in the face of difficult economic times, a challenging environment and competing development needs. Partnerships and innovation are key to saving lives and creating economic opportunity for people living in poverty throughout the world."

- Largest Independent Global Marketing and Technology Agency Bolstering Web Platform for Innovative Political Nominating ProcessLBi, the global marketing and technology agency, today announced its on-going relationship with Americans Elect, the first non-partisan political nominating process.

In June of 2011, LBi began working with Americans Elect to design and build AmericansElect.org, the first secure online Presidential nominating process in the nation's history. The site experience sets out to hold a national caucus where all registered voters can participate regardless of political affiliation or the state in which they live, and is designed to handle traffic of up to 15-20 million people. On AmericansElect.org, the people will draft the candidates, shape the debate and nominate the winner. In June of 2012, the site will host the first ever non-partisan nominating convention to elect a President. The winning Americans Elect ticket will be on the ballot in the Presidential election in November 2012. There are already over 2 million signatures collected, more than half of what is needed to get the Americans Elect ticket on the presidential ballot nationwide.

"We are very proud to finally announce our work with Americans Elect," said Luke Taylor, CEO of LBi. "Building a brand from scratch is a challenging process, especially when you bring national politics into the equation. We are thoroughly enjoying stretching our creative and technical muscles to rise to this transformational challenge."

LBi is responsible for the advertising, as well as media planning and buying, that will inform the American public of this new alternative to the traditional two-party nominating process. The platform aligns perfectly with LBi's business philosophy of using new technologies to transform businesses.

"We've been busy architecting a new campaign that will empower people to feel that they are more in charge of the election next year," said Cedric Devitt, Executive Creative Director, LBi, "It's about making Americans Elect a difficult option for voters to ignore in 2012."

Americans Elect (http://www.americanselect.org/) is the first non-partisan presidential nomination that will use the Internet to nominate a 2012 presidential candidate and be on the ballot in all 50 states-creating more participation in the democratic process. It was founded by pioneers in direct technology and citizens from across the political spectrum who are concerned that political divisions are keeping our nation's biggest problems from being solved. Americans Elect is a non-profit organization that is not affiliated with any political party, ideology or candidate.
