Dalila Gonçalves
Kneaded Memory
Kerkplein and Belle Epoque Centre, Hoogstraat/Onderwijsstraat, Elisabethstraat 14
The Portuguese artist Dalila Gonçalves uses historic and decorative elements from the façades of buildings, that she as it were crumples up to throw them away directly as rubbish, superfluous pieces of the construction process. By giving these decorations a new weight, form and volume, she saves a great deal of history. Doing this she questions the frontier between past and present, between memories, remembering and forgetting. In this way in Blankenberge she links the rich history of the Blankenberge 'faience' with her own cultural inheritance of the famous Portuguese 'azulejos', the typical blue ceramic tiles.

The public prosecution department on Friday afternoon stated that Geert Wilders is not guilty of discriminating against Muslims. Earlier on Friday it announced he should also be found not guilty of inciting hatred.
Prosecutors Birgit van Roessel and Paul Velleman reached their conclusions after a careful reading of interviews with and articles by the anti-Islam politician and a viewing of his anti-Koran film Fitna.
They said comments about banning the Koran can be discriminatory, but because Wilders wants to pursue a ban on democratic lines, there is no question of incitement to discrimination 'as laid down in law'.
On the comparison of the Koran with Mein Kampf, the prosecutors said the comparison was 'crude but that did not make it punishable'.
Dealing earlier on Friday with incitement to hatred, Van Roessel and Velleman said some comments could incite hatred against Muslims if taken out of context, but if the complete text is considered, it can be seen that Wilders is against the growing influence of Islam and not against Muslims per sé.
On Tuesday, the prosecutors said the MP should not be found guilty of group insult.
The public prosecution department was forced to take the case by the high court after anti-racism campaigners protested at its refusal to prosecute Wilders.
A glimmer of sanity. Amazing.
Now watch the Religion of Peace errupt in riots and violence.
Nice find. Thanks!
So I imagine the "religion of peace" will begin with the rioting, burning and raping any minute now...
What's Dutch for Hooray?!
I have watched Gert's efforts and this trial from the get go...He put his life on the line in a huge way as the Islamists are after him 24/7.
This is great news for freedom of speech to oppose the Islamic threat....except in our country. ;(
Credit goes to Free Republic as someone hear linked to Atlas Shugs for another article and there it was also about Gert. Free Rebublic covers the world!
There is still the necessity for the judges to agree to drop the charges. Lets hope fear does not prevail
How nice of them to find him not guilty of group insult.
Joy and Whoopi have left the building!
That is great news. It's a travesty that he could be accused for simply speaking the truth in the first place. A glimpse as to what conservatives face if the left remains in charge much longer in the US.
Charged with "discrimination"...
as in, "filtering based on value or preference".
I guess I "discriminate" when I allow pets and children in my house but not vermin.
Yes, I saw that...amazing truth in a very acceptable way of revealing Islam for what it is. This was actually played in Britains Parliment....but not without a fight to get it there.
His story is amazing and he is worth following for his stand against Islam. Strong individual to be sure.
Thanks for posting 'Fitna' link for those who have not seen...worth the view and just one of the reasons Gert was sued by the Moslems.
Thanks DarkSkies...I e-mailed Gert congradulations. Awesome victory and hopefully no loose ends when all is said and done.
I just emailed him too!
"Fitna" is a true depiction of islam...there is a warning though as it shows scenes from 9/11 right from the beginning then other "hits"...as well as a beheading...but they block out the actual act just as it happens...
I know people might have weak stomacks for this..I thought I would but I needed to see the reality of Islam....and this film does it as tastefully as one could present a death cult.
As an aside, I wonder what Imam Obama thinks about today's development in Geert's trial? Depressing way to start a weekend...if you're a muslim.;-)
Aside from him politicking he can't say much now....but I hope he and his other half continue to make the blunders they are...eyes are opened now and people are listening and continue not to like what they are hearing. He won't say a word about Gerts Victory...likely nations with too many Moselms won't make too much fuss...retaliation issues.
Group insult???
Just wow.
It means whatever we want it to mean.
You got a problem with that?
Dutch prosecutors seek acquittal of anti-Islam pol
AMSTERDAM — Dutch prosecutors asked judges Friday to acquit anti-Islam politician Geert Wilders on all charges of inciting hate and discrimination against Muslims, in a case seen as testing the limits of free speech versus religious freedom.
The move by prosecutors signaled their belief the case against Wilders was weak, although judges could still disagree and convict him. The defense begins its case next week and a verdict is scheduled for next month.
Seems odd that it could really be a crime, doesn't it?
That's what happens when there's no constitution, or there is one without our first amendment. It's good to sit back every now and then and thank God that our founding fathers were the men they were, and left us with such a remarkable document.
Huh? What? The United States has all of the anti-discrimination, free speech stifling laws that the Netherlands has. It's unlikely you'll do jail time for violating, but you can have your business or property seized from you and be fined and sued into penury though. Some difference.
he is however, guilty of a really bad hairdo.
Amsterdam should probably loose the bomb-sniffing dogs sooner rather than later.
Seriously, they should realize they are about to become a major target, all of which is their own doing. Once again we see these vile muzzies utilizing a western country's laws against that country to further its control and 'mastering' of that country and her people. I'll add that the foolhardiness of even having 'hate speech' laws invites these scenarios. Stupid, stupid, stupid.
If you think things are any better here then you are wrong. We have a muslim in the white hut.
We have no Geert Wilders just idiots who watch TV that keeps the muslim in power.
We don't have nearly as a high a percentage of ragheads as western Europe has.
We have a lot of people speaking against Islamic authority and infiltration.
Why do you say that watching tv keeps zero in power? Doesn't it depend on what you watch? :)
Well I'll be dam they finally got something right!
"Doesnt it depend on what you watch? :)"
Saudi Arabai's Prince Al Waleed - Saudi kings nephew who handles the Kingdom's investments is largest investor in News Corp/Fox News - ditto Disney/ABC, ditto TW/CNN ditto a major holder na ddeal maker with GE-NBC, CNBC, MSNBC. Ditto he helped Sumner Redstone CBS/Viacom invest in Kirch in germany ditto Bloomberg who approved the Mosque for 9/11 to insure he had access to islamic TV and financial markets.
American TV is control by leftist elites and Saudis. Your cable bill is sliced up so each network gets about $5 to 6 a month even though you don't watch them.
It keeps Obama and Islam in power in America. Keep it up folks.
right wing hardcore strongman fascist mussoliniu brownshirt racist
Are the Christian Democrats still preparing to go into coalition with Wilders party?
The Mooselimbs will be fired up tonight.
True. Someone is going to lose their head over this.
Truth to power. God bless you, Geert. You're single-handedly defending Western Civilization with the tools that only exist in Western Civilization. You're a brave, brave man.
Thanks JoeProBono.
When Geert and the political party he leads finally takes control of the government of the Netherlands, it's going to be the next glimmer of hope for Europe.

Norway butter shortage threatens Christmas treats
An acute butter shortage in Norway, one of the world's richest countries, has left people worrying how to bake their Christmas goodies with store shelves emptied and prices through the roof.
The shortfall, expected to last into January, amounts to between 500 and 1,000 tonnes, said Tine, Norway's main dairy company, while online sellers have offered 500-gramme packs for up to 350 euros ($465).
The dire shortage poses a serious challenge for Norwegians who are trying to finish their traditional Christmas baking -- a task which usually requires them to make at least seven different kinds of biscuits.
The shortfall has been blamed on a rainy summer that cut into feed production and therefore dairy output, but also the ballooning popularity of a low-carbohydrate, fat-rich diet that has sent demand for butter soaring.
"Compared to 2010, demand has grown by as much as 30 percent," Tine spokesman Lars Galtung told AFP.
Last Friday, customs officers stopped a Russian at the Norwegian-Swedish border and seized 90 kilos (198 pounds) of butter stashed in his car.

Posted 729 days agoAnother thing, Norway is THE country in Europe that is managing the euro crisis well. This is because of several factors, chief among them being the Norwegian oil reserves and the fact that Norway isn't married to the EU, although there are ties through the EEC.
But the person who asked the question about why people vote for socialism instead of better alternatives, asked a damned good question.

Posted 729 days agoAlso, the article doesn't mention one of the largest causes; media hysteria leading to silly people hoarding butter. I've seen a couple of people with several kilos of butter in their shopping carts..
KurtKrueger: The government has, of course, temporarily lowered the customs tariff on importing butter. Extra butter is being imported from Belgium, among other places.

Mrs. Norris revisited
Posted by Constanza on June 21, 1998 at 18:27:55:
This is in relation to the prior posts below.
I've been thinking about:
1) why Mrs. Norris chose a niece and not a nephew
Could it be because raising a woman would be cheaper than raising a man? That is, if you were to raise a gentelaman you would have had to send him to Eton or some other school and then get him some profession, and that would mean university and orders or buying a comission, whereas in the case of a lady only a dowry was required and in this case, as Mrs. Norris points out to Sir Thomas, is not necessary.
2) Why is that Mrs. Norris is so settled on economizing?
Well, she can not spend more than Lady Bertram so she decides to show she doesn't need money, that she cares not for things than can be purchased so she goes beyond what economizing is required from her, just to show them. Oh darn, it sounds so far-fetched now that I write it down.
Well, anyway, thoughts?

South Bend police are investigating the weekend death of a Michigan man killed when his dune buggy crashed during a "mud bog" race at the St. Joseph County 4-H Fairgrounds.
Forty-eight-year-old Steven DeLeeuw of West Olive, Mich., was pronounced dead Saturday night at a South Bend hospital after his vehicle flipped several times and crashed into a concrete barrier and chain-link fence at the fairgrounds.
DeLeeuw, who suffered massive blunt force trauma, had been competing in a "Summer Thunder Mud Bog" event.
WNDU-TV reports a forensic mechanic will begin analyzing DeLeeuw's vehicle Monday to determine if the crash was caused by operator or mechanical error.
Police say DeLeeuw was wearing a helmet and safety harness at the time of Saturday's crash, which was witnessed by his 15-year-old son.

Marshall University, West Virginia's oldest public institution, is a multi-campus, interactive, public university composed of eight colleges and schools, which offers 68 baccalaureate programs, 2 associate programs, 52 graduate programs, and maintains an enrollment of approximately 14,000. Currently, Marshall is experiencing a significant increase in research activity; since 1990, Marshall University's total grant and contract funding has doubled every five years. This rate of growth reflects the growing university emphasis on research and the breadth of faculty expertise with research projects in every county in West Virginia. This partnership with UK's Center for Clinical and Translational Science (CCTS) will offer the collaborations and infrastructure to assist Marshall in advancing more quickly to its goal of developing an evolving core in clinical and translational research.
Marshall faculty are now serving on the CCTS Leadership Committee, as co-directors of CCTS key functions/cores, and as Pilot Studies CATalysts to generate the synergy needed to advance the partnership. Marshall is a key partner in the Appalachian Translational Research Network, a regional platform to identify areas for potential collaboration and researchers interested in new collaborative endeavors.
Clinical Research: Target areas for investigator initiated trials are cancer, cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Marshall has substantial clinical expertise and/or basic science research strength in these areas, and welcomes the opportunity to participate in the CCS pilot funding program. In addition, CCTS expertise and organizational infrastructure to support regulatory compliance will serve as a model resource as Marshall expands its capacity in this arena.
Education/Career Development: Junior faculty in Marshall's COBRE program in cancer and nutrition will benefit from joint training opportunities and peer interaction with UK faculty in its three COBREs, K12 BIRCWH, Physician Scientist, and CTS Scholars programs.
Cancer Genomics Network: Marshall's NIH-funded Cancer Genomics Network offers unique access to a number of genomic analyses of patient tumors using next generation sequencing. The data is deposited in a common network data base with links to de-identified clinical data for the patient. The underlying hypothesis is that the stability of the Appalachian population will permit identification of genetic and epigenetic changes that influence development and progression of selected types of cancer.
Marshall Genomics Core Facility services are available to UK researchers and include: (1) microarray-based gene expression profiling, (2) automated DNA sequencing and genotyping and (3) access to real-time thermal cyclers for quantitative PCR.
Community Engagement: With a current focus on the health and educational needs of the community, Marshall's Center for Rural Health will capitalize on opportunities in the partnership to expand participation in clinical trials and translational research. Given that the populations served by the Marshall Center for Rural Health and the UK Centers for Rural Health border each other geographically, collaboration between the Centers is a natural fit that will enhance research activities across Appalachia.
Novel Methodologies: Marshall brings to the partnership pioneering work on the development of gene editing, a technique in which short DNA oligonucleotides are used to direct the exchange of single bases in the coding region of a gene. This research is creating single base changes in mammalian cell lines that contain a novel SNP known to cause resistance to an anti-aging drug. The goal is to provide a system that can be used in collaboration with the UK Drug Development and Pharmaceutical Sciences Key Function and the UK Sanders-Brown Center on Aging to help in the identification of small molecules that affect neurodegeneration and aging. Working with the UK CCTS and the pharmacogenetics researchers of the UK College of Pharmacy, Marshall will further develop this technology.

How often should you replace your bicycle helmet?
1. After a crash.
2. At least every two years.
3. When salt has frazzled the straps.
4. When your helmet stinks so much it goes riding without you.
5. Before the fashion police arrive.
6. After too many suncreen smears
All the above are good reasons to upgrade, except perhaps for number six, although there's a Vaseline vs helmet standard from Japan that examines "brittleness, swelling, softening and other damage."
Japanese cyclists must think themselves to be an overly sweaty bunch because Japan is the only country to have a perspiration test for helmets. JIS standards for bikes are famously super stringent and Japan's JIS helmet standards look just as tough.
Helmet replacement was a topic on the latest Spokesmen podcast and a listener has just emailed this comment:
"Do sweat and sunscreen really make helmets degrade? Granted, they're only good for one fall, but they're made of Styrofoam, a plastic that is very stable and long lived. Think of it this way, we're telling businesses that we don't want Styrofoam plates and cups going into the waste stream because they don't degrade in landfills. Yet we're supposed to believe that they degrade while sitting atop our heads?
"The admonition to replace your helmet every 2 years (as one of the catalogs recommends) strikes me as a marketing issue rather than a safety one. But even with that said, I still end up replacing my helmet every couple of years because the pesky straps and buckles wear out. If they didn't, I'd probably still be wearing a Bell Biker from the late 1970s. Talk about stylin'!"
For what it's worth, here's my take on this issue.
Any third-party unguent has the potential to degrade expanded polystyrene. Lacquers and paints, for instance. Sweat and suncream probably won't kill the protective qualities of a helmet but they'll make it smell.
I stand by my comments made on the podcast that helmets should be switched regularly, because to do otherwise risks a fashion faux pas. It also pays to make sure you're wearing the right kind of helmet. In some American states there are helmet compulsion laws which mandate that roadies cannot wear helmets designed for MTBers, and vice versa. (Only kidding).
It's also worth noting that the hard-shell helmets of old are a lot more protective than today's fancy, aerated ones.
But, deft marketing - Helmet-X is lighter, has more vents, is used by pro of the moment - has convinced people that helmets have progressed. This is true aesthetically, and from a comfort point of view. A mean-looking modern helmet looks superior to a Skid Lid and is nicer for your hot noggin.
But, if you truly craved top-notch cranial protection, you'd be better off with a 1980s helmet.
Surprisingly few of today's helmets meet the tough Snell standards. CPSC-certification and CEN standards may look pukka but they are inferior to Snell. There's a bunch of Chinese bucket helmets on the 'certified by Snell' list and a few from Limar. Specialized helmets are also on the dated-looking Snell website - alone among the well-known branded helmets - but check in the liner for the exact standard now used for each Specialized helmet.
The best thing about the more upmarket, up-to-date helmets – apart from their superior styling, lighter weight, and bucket-loads of vents - is the retention. Prior to the Roc Loc stabilisation head-clasper - now on its fourth generation - helmet fit was hit-and-miss. Retention devices are now commonplace and, anecdotally, appear to offer greater safety than older helmets, although studies show that some aero helmets, upon impact, defeat even the best retention devices.
The American pro-helmet organisation the Bicycle Helmet Safety Institute believes the current obsession for vents and sexy helmet shapes, including 'vent tails' - is a Bad Thing:
"Unfortunately opening up new vents usually requires harder, more dense foam and squaring off the edges of the remaining foam ribs to squeeze out the most impact protection possible from the narrower pieces still there. Since we believe that rounder shells and less dense foam are virtues in a crash, we don't recommend hyper-vented helmets unless you can't live without the added ventilation…
"…better construction techniques don't often mean better impact protection, just thinner helmets and more vents. In short, more money will buy you more vents, but not necessarily more safety…
"We believe that the ideal surface for striking a road resembles a bowling ball: hard, smooth and round. Round shells reduce to a minimum any tendency for a helmet to 'stick' to the surface when you hit, with the possibility of increasing impact intensity, contributing to rotational brain injury or jerking the rider's neck."
Randy Swart, director of the Bicycle Helmet Safety Institute, believes even the toughest of today's helmet standards are weak:
"There have been so few advances in helmet technology over the last decade, and there is so little incentive for manufacturers to plow money into research and development, that we would not anticipate helmets that could meet an ideal standard in our lifetime, and probably not in yours either.
"There have also been no major advances in lab testing equipment and protocols over the last decade. Old arguments about test rig designs have never been settled. No private or public lab is investing in research on major new systems for improving our testing. No new advances in designing better tests are on the horizon.
"Development of an international bicycle helmet standard is stalled. Europe has a different test rig that it considers superior and the US regards as unnecessarily complex. The US uses two different drop rigs that produce slightly different results and studiously ignores the problem because each rig has its champions who regard the other as inferior, and because nobody wants to invest in new rigs. The US uses 2 metre drop heights, while Europe uses 1.5 metres, resulting in helmets that are thinner and often will not pass US tests.
"In the absence of better standards, manufacturers are stalled in improving their helmets by two constraints: marketing and legal liability. They are convinced that they can't sell a helmet that is thicker and therefore bulky looking. And their lawyers will not let them advertise that a helmet is 'safer' or 'more protective' or even 'designed to prevent concussion' for fear that they will lose lawsuits when a rider is injured in that helmet."
Safer lids are also constrained by our litigious society, says the Bicycle Helmet Safety Institute:
"If a manufacturer wants to offer a helmet with superior protection, it must build that same protection into every model in its line or face lawsuits charging that they failed to provide the use the most protective technology possible. And if a manufacturer has a new helmet that is much more protective, their corporate attorneys will not permit it to be advertised as superior in preventing injury because they would anticipate losing every lawsuit involving injuries received in that model. So helmet advertising is an exercise in creativity as marketers try to tout their products while never saying anything about their performance."
I don't wear a 1980s helmet. I prefer to sacrifice some safety for comfort and style. At the end of the day I'm a sucker for the deft marketing. I wear a Met Stradivarius, the "world's first bicycle helmet below 200 grams!"
Pix are of me and my three kids wearing our super-trendy Met helmets. The CX pic of me was taken by Brian Smith.

It was inappropriate for Steel Heart to bring that comment up. Perhaps another time. Why do I have to respond to the comment at all? Just as you should have left it alone. I did not then nor am I now going to say anything about his trip?
Fact when smooth made the comment, the writer failed to state that his grandmother was ill etc. It said he failed to make it back from a trip home because of personal reasons. I did not comment. Whether right or wrong it was on another article why bring it on to page where it is stated that his grandmother is ill. We all know his grandmother raised him. Now leave it alone. For common decency, just let it go!
I give up!!!!! If you want to say the two are even remotely equal, there is no hope in ever thinking you will have an unbias opinion. Why should it matter if we knew what the personal reasons. When I heard it discussed in non-print media, it was at least mentioned that there some travel issues. It was a personal matter that the team obviously knew about and allowed him off for the game because there was no penalty. If you honestly think referencing what anyone said about the incident not knowing the full facts is inappropriate, then there is absolutely no hope. That's the exact reason people need to stop commenting on issues with athletes and coaches without knowing what is going on. Why speculate?
I just wonder how this would look to an unbiased third party
Person A trashes a player for something going on in their personal life with knowing what is going on. After the facts come out, Person B says "that's what happens when you rush to judgement without having the facts and reminds him of what he said." Person A says, "well I didn't all the details at the time, but boo hoo I guess the player will use this as an excuse for all his problems. Then here comes person C saying person B was the one out of line.
I wonder who an independent observer would agree with.

GE Energy Services signs service agreement with Mexican Government [1]
GE Energy Services recently signed a service agreement with Mexico's Comisión Federal de la Electricidad (Federal Electricity Commission). GE manages the supply of repairs, services, and parts for generators and gas turbines. This is the most distinct time in history that the Mexican government has signed a service agreement of this magnitude with a power plant service company. Under the terms of the agreement, GE will support the efficiency of gas turbines for the next 15 years. Additionally, six new gas turbines have already been installed at their sites and the full power plant should be ready for operation during the summer of 2012.
This project by GE Energy Services and the Mexican government [2] is anticipated to provide employment opportunities for more than 80 individuals.
Mexico's Federal Electricity Commission chief executive officer Antonio Vivanco stated, "This repowering project will benefit more than 10 million Mexican households by delivering access to reliable electric power." He went on to say, "Additionally, it will contribute significantly to a National Infrastructure Plan to promote the development of other industries and services in the region." Ramón Barrientos V., account executive director for GE Energy Services [2], claimed, "For 115 years, GE has not only developed advanced technology to meet local power needs in Mexico, but also has offered innovative energy solutions […] This new agreement provides a platform for us to deliver long-term services and support our commitment to drive progress in the country."

David Golden Balls Pops Down To Afghanistan. All In The Best Possible Taste
Dan Majestic writes: Here's a brain teaser for you: if you were a British serviceman in Afghanistan and you were suddenly told that living football legend and culture icon, David Beckham, was coming over with a brief visit would you:
a) rejoice at the thought of meeting the husband of Victoria 'Posh' Beckham, the most stylish woman in the world;
b) write home, telling of your excitement about the prospect of shaking the hand that touched David Beckham's privates countless times;
c) pay no attention, as you'd be going on patrol and not knowing whether you'd be coming back alive;
d) desert, to avoid taking part in the cringing PR exercise on the part of Golden Balls.
Now call me a cynic, but I suspect that most of the answers would be option 'c' and, in certain extreme cases, option 'd' would probably be chosen. Although if you read about it in the newspapers, David made quite an impact when he visited 'our boys' in Afghanistan last Friday, arriving at Camp Bastion, the main British military base, where he had had a hearty breakfast, signed autographs and, as his agent explained, 'looked drop-dead gorgeous'. 'Scenes of British soldiers, screaming like teenage girls and fainting at the sight of David,' Beckham's agent added, 'would stay in everybody's memory for years to come. And how they all laughed when David read a joke from a note, addressing it to one of the soldiers: "What a huge weapon you have. I wish I had one like yours."'
But enough of this celebrity razzmatazz. The big question is this: why is David Beckham allowed to use every opportunity to promote himself? Who needs to see him, strutting his stuff across the globe in the glare of publicity that he doesn't deserve? And, finally: how old does Beckham needs to get to disappear from our sight for good?
There are some people who simply won't take a hint and fade into oblivion where they belong. It gets really annoying when so-called celebs followed by the hacks whether they go. Especially as Beckham is really no longer past his prime in football. Not to mention that he never really says anything even remotely amusing.
I don't know how David's highly publicised visit to Afghanistan went, but I sure hope that the British servicemen there would forgive us for treating them like mugs.
– End –
1 Comment
When David spoke on Sunday after receiving the BBC Sports Personality of the Year Award, he said he was receiving the award on behalf of the troops in Afghanistan. We are raising funds to help the war veterans who develop post traumatic stress disorder as a result of having served in a combat zone – present day or even as early as the second world war. We provide them with fly fishing lessons as it has been proven to be so therapeutic for them. We will also provide ongoing support for the following two years after they have completed the course so they need never feel there is no one to whom they can turn for help. On 14 May we are holding a prestigeous auction and we would like to ask if David would give us a signed shirt for this occasion that we can auction. Thank you for reading this and we look forward to hearing from you.

Enjoyable slab climbing along a faint seam leads to a crux just past the last bolt, where you must trust the rubber and go for it. Most of the route is fairly mild which makes this route (and the others on this wall) good for someone getting into leading.
This is the left of two bolted routes on the right side of the crag and is located just left of Firewater (5.5) an easy slab route.
3 bolts, chain anchors
Agreed. This is a good wall for those new to the sharp end, or doing their first lead of a particular grade. Short, steep starts followed by low-angle slab. The upper crux on this one sets it apart.

Pacman's victim
Let's not forget about this gentleman.
Paralysis no "Pacman" game By Woody Paige Tommy Urbanski was shot in Las Vegas in an incident for which "Pacman" Jones is facing charges. (Post / Karl Gehring)Adam "Pacman" Jones will be featured Sunday night in a contrived pay-per-view wrestling show labeled "Hard Justice." Tommy Urbanski, a former wrestler, will not be watching from his hospital room in Englewood. He has paid enough and understands that justice is too hard. Jones would give anything to play pro football again. Urbanski would give anything to walk again. Jones, a prized cornerback, has been suspended from the NFL for this season as the result of multiple conflicts with the law. The most serious involved a triple-victim shooting incident that rendered one man a paraplegic during the NBA All-Star Weekend in Las Vegas. Jones was charged with felony coercion. Urbanski, an innocent bystander, was shot three times in the sordid episode. One of the bullets remains lodged in his spinal column. "It took away everything from me as a man, except my hope," Urbanski says. While Jones prepares for his performance - following approval by a Tennessee judge that he can appear at the event, but can't wrestle - Urbanski, who also was wounded in his left wrist and broke his right wrist as he fell, prepares to play guitar in Craig Hospital's talent show Wednesday. Urbanski was channel-switching last week when "I happened to see him (Jones) doing an interview. It was the first time I ever saw or heard him....He is a disturbed person, and I'm sure he knows the man who shot me, but I can't focus on him or what went on." Tommy, his wife Kathy and his wheelchair rode a bus, then the light rail to downtown Denver for lunch on the 16th Street Mall and a visit to the Museum of Natural History on Saturday afternoon. Finally, Urbanski can escape his suffering for a little while. The 44-year-old Urbanski is going home to Las Vegas on Aug. 25, but he and Kathy might return permanently to Denver. "I love this city. The people here have been so incredible. And if I hadn't come to Craig Hospital (in March), I believe I wouldn't be alive today." The Tennessee Titans obtained an injunction preventing Jones from actually wrestling tonight, but the judge declared that he can attend. In another interview on ESPN, Jones said: "I don't know what you all want me to do. Just sit in the house and be miserable all day?" Urbanski lies in a hospital room at Craig (world-renowned for treatment of spinal cord and head trauma injuries), and he is beyond miserable a lot of days while undergoing constant, intense therapy, taking painkillers every four hours and being hooked up to a tube in his stomach and a catheter. "I admit that I have mood swings and feel sorry for myself, but I've got my wife, who Tommy Urbanski and his wife, Kathy, enjoy a sunny Saturday on the 16th Street Mall. Urbanski is undergoing treatment at Craig Hospital. (Post / Karl Gehring)is my best friend, the rest of my family, my doctors and my friends, and they help me get through this," said the native New Yorker. Jones said on TV that he had been arrested twice, not five times. Police records indicate he has been arrested six times and charged three times for various offenses. Tommy and Kathy have contempt in their voices and hearts for Jones, but, on advice from their attorney, wouldn't talk about their feelings, or any personal interaction, on the record. Urbanski did say: "He (Jones) wouldn't like being in a wheelchair." Urbanski has been described in most media accounts as "a bouncer." He actually was a real estate salesman who worked part-time as a manager at Minxx, a Las Vegas "gentlemen's club," to pay law-school tuition for his wife, an elementary school teacher. Life is about timing. Urbanski arrived 15 minutes early for his job at the strip club on Feb. 19 and was told there had been a major disturbance, with Pacman throwing money ($81,000, police claimed) at a dancer, demanding the cash back, slamming the woman's head against a wall and being told to leave with his entourage (five other men and a woman.) The club's owner asserts that Jones threatened to kill a bouncer. According to Kathy Urbanski, "there was a metal detector at the front door of the club. We've been told by the authorities that one of the men left, went to a car, got a gun and came back to the outside of the club" to confront the bouncer. "I went to the scene, saw where Tommy and the shooter were, and I don't know how my husband survived." Urbanski had gone outside to check the situation and immediately was shot in the stomach. A female customer and the bouncer also were shot. Both were treated at a hospital and released. Jones' attorney denies his client was present during the shooting or was a friend of the assailant. The shooter has not been arrested, but a "person of interest" has been identified by police, and his photo is on the Internet. Urbanski spent two weeks in an induced coma, then was sent to Craig Hospital. He was in critical condition for weeks. "Most of my ribs were broken. I couldn't move my wrists for weeks, and I thought I was a quadriplegic. They couldn't remove the bullet in my spine, and I have no sensation below my belly button," he says. He was a 390-pound pro wrestler who occasionally filled in at World Wrestling Association matches and grappled with The Iron Sheik in South Africa, George "The Animal" Steele in Europe and Hulk Hogan in the U.S. He is now 270 pounds and, in a wheelchair, battled tight turns in an Italian restaurant Saturday. "There is incredible irony," Kathy says, "that Tommy was a wrestler, and Pacman was hired by a wrestler promoter." Urbanski said he was "hurt" that Total Nonstop Action would "sell its soul for a few bucks to bring in this guy. If I were a wrestler and this happened to someone else in the business, I would wish I could be in the ring with him (Jones)." It was rumored in Nashville that the wrestlers taking part in the pay-per-view event intended to "rough up" Jones, which might have led the Titans to demand that the banished defensive back not become an active participant, even if the match is a farce. (The Titans have not released Jones, and he could play for them again. In another irony, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell will decide after the Titans play in Denver against the Broncos on Nov. 19 if Jones is to be reinstated for the final six regular-season games.) Urbanski played football in high school on Long Island, but he really liked to make music. He played guitar in a rock band. Recently, two of his old bandmates presented Tommy with an electric guitar. "When I was on the ground after being shot, my first thought was I was dead. My second thought was about Kathy. And my next thought, when my arms were covered in blood and I could move them, was I couldn't play the guitar ever again," Urbanski said. After five months of rehabilitation, Urbanski can move his fingers, barely. And he is strumming the guitar. On Wednesday evening at the hospital's patient and staff talent show, he will play "Plush" by the Stone Temple Pilots. Urbanski asked his principal doctor, Thomas Balazy, to join him in a duet. Craig Hospital has done all it can for Urbanski, whose chances of regaining use of his legs has been estimated by doctors at 3 to 6 percent. "We can only hope for a miracle, or scientific advancements in stem cell research somewhere else in the world," Kathy says. The Urbanskis are not optimistic that Tommy will walk again, "but I've seen so many kids and others at the hospital who are in worse shape than me. "I will play the guitar, and I will start a band, and I will record songs, and I will help those who are in similar situations like me, and I will live." And he will ride an electrical stimulation bike, if the Urbanskis can raise the $15,000 to buy one while trying to make their small home handicapped-accessible. Workers' compensation is paying only a share of Urbanski's medical bills, which eventually could run into the millions of dollars. If you would like to assist, go to the Tommyurbanskifund.org website started by friends in Las Vegas. The lives of two men are intertwined. One is only a Pacman. The other is a good man. |

I hope that Las Vegas works quickly in the coersion case and gains a conviction. That will help immensely in making sure this man has the evidence needed to win a civil lawsuit. Hopefully he'll be well taken care of with the millions of dollars Adam Jones has swindled from the NFL.

I'd think that the punishment the NFL will give him if he is convicted will be even more harsh than already given. Hopefully he'll have to spend some time behind bars if he is found guilty in this awful crime!

If that happens, will he be perma-banned from the NFL? He should be, IMO.

I usually don't like Woody Paige but he did a heck of a job on this story. I wish Pacman would have to care for this guy now as far as everyday living, now that would be a fair punishment!!

More proof that PacMan just doesn't "get it":
Pacman to give his side in upcoming interview Associated Press Updated: August 13, 2007, 7:01 PM ET NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Suspended Tennessee Titans cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones sees himself as an innocent bystander in the Las Vegas strip club fight that led to a triple shooting and left one man paralyzed, and he expects to be vindicated. "And I'll tell you, 'I told you so,'" Jones said in an interview scheduled to air Tuesday night on HBO's "Real Sports." Las Vegas police identified the Titans cornerback as the "inciter" of the fight around 5 a.m. on Feb. 19 at the Minxx Gentlemen's Club, and he was indicted in June on two counts of coercion. Jones, who was interviewed on ESPN2 and appeared on another cable TV show last week to promote his new wrestling venture, has declined repeated interview requests from The Associated Press and spoken to local reporters only briefly at three court appearances this year. His attorneys have promised he would speak with reporters once his legal problems are resolved. Jones told interviewer Bryant Gumbel that he never hit a stripper in the club or threatened to kill anyone. Asked why anyone would lie, Jones said, "I guess I'm the big fish in the little pond. "I never touched anybody in that -- I never hit no girl. I never told any one of them that I was going to kill them." In the interview, Jones was shown a photo of a man labeled by Las Vegas police as a person of interest in the shooting. "I can't tell you who this person is in the world. I never seen this guy, he's never been around me. I don't even know who this is," Jones said. "Well, if anybody know this guy, please turn him in to the Las Vegas Police. I would thank you for doing that," Jones said. Gumbel also asks Jones about his friendship with Darryl Moore, a convicted drug dealer arrested last year by Nashville police 90 minutes after leaving the cornerback's house. The drug bust captured money, marijuana and cocaine. Jones said he didn't know Moore was a convicted drug dealer and was surprised by the arrest. Asked if he felt betrayed, Jones said, "Yeah. Of course I do." He currently is sitting out his season-long suspension from the NFL, hoping for an early return with his case not due for review until after the Titans' 10th game. Jones told HBO he didn't feel he "got a fair say" in his April hearing with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell. Days after he dropped an appeal of his suspension, he was involved with police again. Georgia police were called to an early morning shooting between two cars following a fight at a strip club. Police said they wanted to talk to Jones, who was implicated in the fight at the club. "I was kind of really upset, upset and I wasn't really thinking about, 'Well, should I do this, or?' My whole thing was like, 'I'm being treated unfairly,'" Jones said. Asked if Jones cared what Goodell thought at that point, he said: "No, I didn't." Copyright 2007 by The Associated Press |

In the wake of the Boston bombings, Rep. Peter King has once again called for monitoring of Muslim American community.
The Long Island Republican Congressman's comments came as it emerged that at least one of the Boston Marathon bombings suspects, who is of Chechen origin, had ties to radical Islam.
The Republican leader has said that the vast majority of American Muslims are good people but argued that the monitoring of certain communities is nothing new.
"When the FBI was after the Westies they went to the Irish community," he said on Fox News last weekend.
"When they went after the Mafia they went to the Italian community. If you know a threat is coming from a certain community, that's where you have to look."
However, TJ English, author of 'The Westies: Inside New York's Irish Mob' disagrees with King's analogy.
"It's a misinformed statement on so many levels," he told WNYC.
"Law enforcement efforts to take down organized crime, whether it was Italian or Irish, never involved going after an entire community. It always involved dealing with the criminal element within a community as a very specific aspect of the community."
Rep. Keith Ellison also strongly disagreed with King's proposal.
Speaking on MSNBC, Ellison, who was introduced on the show as "the first Muslim elected to Congress" said the focus needs to be on criminals.
"It is just ridiculous, I mean to say that because of the Westies, that every Irish person was under suspect, everyone in America knows that's ridiculous," he said.
"But still he wants to cast a wide net with regard to Muslims."
King sparked controversy by hosting Congressional hearings on Muslim "radicalization"in 2011.
"seamus60", from what I have been reading, America has "fed" these particular extremists by "treating" them as if they were our own children, supporting their entire viperous family to the tune of a couple hundred thousand dollars worth of public welfare support. Then, after the murderers' thieving mother was picked up for a third time on shoplifting charges, and fled the country to avoid paying for her misdeeds, we continued to support the two murderous bombers with thousands more dollars in tuition discounts and housing support while they continued at an American University thet the US public paid for. They have repaid our generosity by trying to kill as many of us as they could, yet you seem to feel we should somehow feel they were the poorly treated ones. Oh, and "olovely", the current American President is Barack Obama - HE has been our President for almost FIVE YEARS now, "the Bush years" being long since over. If you try getting with the current program you might then take a stab at explaining to us the ways in which President Obama has NOT "inflamed the fury and resentment of everyone HE encounters"? They're STILL trying to kill us, boyo, so I hardly think your Bush comments make any sense at all.
Kelt66. Missed your reply on who are the dissidents. Any way I`ll educate you on the shifting sands of dissent. Years ago it was widely accepted that those labelled as dissident were people in favour of continued millitary struggle. However as time has gone by this Brit controlled illusion (with the help of SF and the DUP ) has been over played to such an extent that anyone who utters a word of concern ( not even criticism) in regards to delivery or direction of the GFA gets the ever expanding label attached. People outside wonder how dissidents are gaining so much support within the communities. We have a SF DFM who has blocked new legislation designed to allow relaxed freedom of speech laws, without even putting it to the house.He wants rid of the Northern Ireland Housing Executive, A group set up to ensure Catholics got a fair deal in relation to housing, their moto being "housing by need and not by creed". Then he wants to know where the fair employment agency gets their mandate. Surely another group set up to address the religious imbalance in the work place is comforting to Nationalists. Some strange decisions from a man who claims to represent the people.
Kaydog at her best, defending her bigotry by attacking me. You are typical of the ignorant American knuckle dragger dog1. If you lot mind your own business and stop the drone murder of Muslim children the US would be a safer place to live and no one will have to attack American civilians. Maybe you should visit some Muslim countries and broaden your horizons. But then you probably have not travelled more than a few miles from your trailer and your one channel FOX TV.
Who did the bombing and who did not? http://imgur.com/a/Nx8EU http://beforeitsnews.com/alternative/2013/04/video-of-tamerlan-tsarnaev-naked-handcuffedwalking-alive-so-how-did-his-body-end-up-like-this-2625886.html
Peter King should have been Geroge W Bush's Secretary of State. He is has a genius for inflaming the fury and resentment of everyone he encounters, which was the hallmark of the Bush years. King is a 'Kill em' all, let God sort em' out' disgrace.
Kaydog1. Whilst I condemn these attacks I can`t help wondering why the American people don`t exert more pressure on their Gov to stop pumping oxygen on the fire that feed these extremists. You treat them like animals as prisoners, you facilitate the implantation of warped thought to others to act like animals. Is your big oversized cars worth it.
Well has SEAMOMELB crawled back from his latest Saul Alinsky seminar? True to Alinsky/Obama form, since he can't logically disagree with the idea of keeping an eye on people who straight-forwardly SAY they INTEND to kill you, he pretends instead that those who won't bow down before the muslim god are ACTUALLY somehow talking about Latinos! He then smears as "white American racists in pointy hats" anyone who doesn't wish to turn a blind eye to the dangers of these primitive psycho-killers. I no longer believe an Australian of IRISH descent could be so stupid as to truly believe that turning our backs on danger would be a good idea, so who are you REALLY, SEAN? Are you some Iranian agent promoting stupidity for the Ayatollah? Are you an AlQueda type squatting in a cave in some filthy "-istan'? Maybe you're simply in the employ of the Chinese, working to disrupt the West? The Irish aren't as stupid as you present yourself, so who are you REALLY?
I find it amusing that those who attack Muslims also attack latinos. Next you will want to deport all Muslims. YOU hide behind the thin layer of racism called white America. At least you have cast off your pointy hats.
WELL OF COURSE we should be monitoring the most likely source of attacks upon ourselves and our Civilization! The muslims have been quite upfront in their rantings, that they consider Western Culture to be corrupt, and destined to be destroyed at their hands. They further shout that all non-muslims need to be eliminated, or to bow down as servants to islam, with muslims running the world. Only the pathetic Leftist "useless idiots" of our society continue to support turning a blind eye to the danger from adherents to this 'religion'. Everyone with a lick of common sense can see that if more than 98% of terrorist attacks are perpetrated by islamists, then THOSE ARE THE PEOPLE we should be watching! It is simply Common Sense to watch them. We should, in fact, be immediately suspicious of ANYONE who demands we chart a course which can only lead to our destruction, for whatever invented egalitarian 'reason' - such advisers are not our friends, they are the friends of our enemies.
THE MAN IS CORRECT,THE DEVOUT MUSLIM REJECTS WESTERN SOCIETY AS CORRUPT,and atheistic and apostate,they are forbidden to form freindships with the kaffir,ie infidel.There avowed aim is the establishment of a muslim sharia world.We have a deadly fifth column within our midst,and its only luck and the experise of our intelligence services that have prevented more attacks like Boston,london,spain,etc etc.
Congressman King is a fellow veteran f mine whom I fully support is his campaign to protect us from all murderers and terrorists, Islamic or otherwise.
The powers-that-be have the responsibility to proctect the public from all potential terrorists. While is no probable cause to suspect the vast majority of Muslems, these lawing-abiding people would increase their credibility by severely comdeming their co-religionists who have ties to any Jehadist group.
Demonize whole communities or ethnic groups at your own peril. Its hard to imagine people in positions that matter, like King haven`t learnt anything. More so because of his knowledge of Ireland. Maybe he just can`t resist the opportunity to notch up browny points with the Boston Irish and the spill off. Next stop is Internment and we all know now who benefitted most from that in Ireland.
Therefore Monitoring of white male veterans will be neccassary.Afterall Timothy McVeigh was a white male veteran who murdered innocent chilfren. IN an interview before his date he stated that the children were collateral damaged. "I learned that in the army" he said. Ann Coulter wants women who wear the Hijab to be arrested. She's just another Fox racist Bi##h.
Kelt66. There in lays your problem. Exactly who are dissidents ?
As an Irish American Navy Catholic vet, the Irish have always been suspect. Up the Irish! Peter King is right on! Michele O wanted the Irish out of Chicago. It is because they are tight knit and Catholic. JFK yes! The Big O no!
He knows a lot about terrorism, and anything he doesn't know he can ask his friend Jerry Adams!
Seamus60, are you referring to dissidents?
Check all the attacks and near attacks we have had in this country in the past 15 years or so, including underware, shoes, people from Denver to NYC subways, those from Conn. to Times Square, airplanes, and "work place violence" at Ft Hood, let alone the World Trade Center, and then check the ethnicities of the perpetrators (start or finish with the Irish, Swedes, Italians, Brits, Argentinians, Hottentots etc, etc). And then ask yourself who should we be watching?
Peter King-RESPECT
Good for Peter King. We need more stand up guys like him he is right the Muslim communities should be monitored more closely. They represent a greater threat to to our culture and our way of life than the the Westies or the Mafia ever did. When whole communities dance in the street after 9/11 they need to be watched.
Never shy when it came to sticking up for the Irish cause. Always called it like it was on human rights abuses etc. Gone all quiet on the fact that the same human rights abuses are still being used against Irish Republicans and even Nationalists who dissagree with a certain party leadership. He has good reason though as his SF allies are now quietly helping dish out the abuse. They like Peter have had a lot to say on the issue of rendition flights through Ireland and other issues close to both Countries, like waterboarding.
not about the westies it was about the freedom fighter Irish when the US/UK togetherness kicked in. Having had jews and italins in my face nigh daily with ridicule was my experience all thru the boys confronting of the Anglo motherland.
Would Rep. King be prepared to suggest we more closely monitor Jews in the financial industry since they are indicted for illegal financial schemes far in excess of the per cent of the general population they represent?
Sounds like a plan. "Criminal gangs"?, how thoughtful. Too bad our own g'ment can't get that one right: "Enemy combatants" indeed. ... Sparks: "Westies are really cute. I've got one." :>)
Westies are really cute. I've got one.
Criminal gangs target their rivals in trade such as drugs, etc., they don't target whole communities or countries with lethal bombs. In that way, the Congressman's comparison doesn't work. However, since the radical bombers have generally been appearing from the same ethnic group, there is reason to delve deeper into why we don't do more to protect our own citizens from such terrible threats.
I think that Peter King means well, but he certainly has foot-in-mouth disease.
Peter King is the best thing to happen to NYC! He is a fair man; the Irish were fair game and so should the Muslims! I'm so sick of everyone walking on egg shells around them! Well done, Peter King!
I don't see where King said all Muslims are suspect. In fact he said the vast majority are good people. He simply said we need to look at that community to find the bad ones. We don't need to act like they are all bad guys but neither should we assume they are all good people. We know better and ignoring it puts us in more danger.
handsome68, you are right, there is no way an honest politician could be mayor of New York.
Rep. Peter King has always seemed to me a tough and a fair man. No nonsense. Naturally, he could never be mayor of New York City since he seems uncompromisingly honest and upright.

A critical evaluation of the policy choices which account for development of common law principles is encouraged. The procedures and remedial powers available under statutes which reform the procedure for gaining judicial review are examined, with judicial and administrative procedure compared.

Southend United's Phil Brown: I've been delighted by the response of my players
1:00pm Thursday 29th August 2013 in Sport By Phil Brown, Southend United manager
I'VE been delighted by the positive response of the players since the defeat at Chesterfield.
We trained hard on Monday and the following day we assessed the video of the match and tried to find out the reasons why we lost the game.
Jose Mourinho lined up his Chelsea team at Old Trafford. They had the mentality of 'we're not conceding a goal and we're not going losing the game', which is something I think we we might be able to learn from.
On Saturday we certainly didn't have that mentality and even in the 95th minute of the match we were still trying to win it, which maybe cost us in the end.
Luke Prosser has held his hands up for Chesterfield's late winner but it's a scar he'll learn from and I think all of us actually will.
We will be aiming to show that at Wycombe on Saturday and our chief scout Bob Shaw has given us a glowing report on them.
Their manager, Gareth Ainsworth, made five changes for the game at Oxford and they seemed to work because they put their best foot forward and very nearly won the game.
They're certainly no mugs and, knowing Gareth, I'm sure they will work incredibly hard against us.
We will need to match that and we've already shown this season that we're playing with a lot of pride but we do need to be at full strength.
We have two lads on crutches, Julian Bennett and Marc Laird, and it hurts when you see that.
They're both long-term injuries but Mark Phillips should be back soon.
He has been out for a week longer than expected but if he trains today and tomorrow then he will be putting himself forward and putting pressure on the young pups at centre-back.
That gives me a problem but that's what I want.
I need competition for places and the sooner we have that the better.
The embargo we're under puts the squeeze on us a little bit but we might have to improve our squad before the transfer window closes on Monday.
TALKING of the transfer window, I have to say that I've never really been a fan of it.
I think the old way of doing things and being able to make signings throughout the whole season until the second or third week in March was much better.
There are rules for certain divisions that don't exist in others and there's just too many rules and regulations for my liking.
AFTER the Millwall kit man forgot to take the kit to their game at Sheffield Wednesday it brought back a few memories for me.
During my time with Hull we had to wear Newcastle's shorts and socks because there was a clash and we ended up beating them 2-1.
It wasn't the end of the world and I think the worst thing I've ever forgotten has to be the team-sheet.
I'm not too sure who we were playing but I had to borrow a team-sheet which was submitted late and I ended up getting fined, so that would probably be my biggest disaster.
That gives me a problem but that's what I want. I need competition for places and the sooner we have that the better.
The embargo we're under puts the squeeze on us a little bit but we might have to improve our squad before the transfer window closes on Monday.
IT was great to take the whole squad and the coaching staff to the end of Southend Pier yesterday.
I've looked at the pier with great affection since coming to the club, much like I did with the Humber Bridge when I was at Hull.
It's an iconic part of the town and it's fantastic for Southend to have the longest pleasure pier in the world.
I couldn't believe it when I found some of the players had lived in Essex for 20 years and never been on the pier.
But it was certainly a step forward in terms of my love affair with Southend.

ALBANY -- Buffalo-area State Senator Antoine Thompson is co-chair of the Democratic Senate Campaign Committee, a position that his opponent, Republican Mark Grisanti, claims would have made it impossible for him not to know about campaign contributions solicited from AEG, the company at the heart of the Aqueduct bid-rigging scandal. Thompson denies the charges, but the taint from the Inspector General's report which implicates many top Senate Democrats was enough to reverse the momentum in his race for re-election. Pollsters have been surprised by several state senate races, including this one, that seem to be coming down the wire.
One of the biggest surprises of this election cycle was WHICH of the state senate races have come down the wire.
In the weeks leading up to the election, pollsters like Siena's Steve Greenberg looked at enrollment numbers to predict which candidates might be in trouble.
Among those at the top of the list were two central New York Democrats: David Valesky of the 49th State Senate district in and around Syracuse who triumphed over his Republican opponent Andrew Russo. And Darrel Aubertine of the 48th who wasn't so lucky – the Watertown Democrat came up a few thousand votes short in his battle with Republican Patricia Ritchie.
The surprise among pollsters came with 3 seats still undecided by 2pm Wednesday: Still too close to call? The race between 13-term Democrat Suzi Oppenheimer and Republican Bob Cohen, in a Westchester district that usually swings Democrat. The race between Democrat Craig Johnson and challenger Jack Martins for the 7th Senate District on the North Shore of Long Island which also has a democratic enrollment edge. And then there's the race between Democrat Antoine Thompson and challenger Mark J. Grisanti. Thompson represents Buffalo, Grand Island and Niagara Falls where again, there is a significant Democratic enrollment advantage. All three races will likely go to a recount.
The recount process could take weeks.

It's a teenage girl's dream-and Kira Plastinina's reality. With an assist from her multimillionaire dad, the 15-year-old Russian has her own fashion label. She already has 31 outlets in Russia and Ukraine. Now she's eyeing the U.S., planning 10 stores in Los Angeles and New York, launching the first in Manhattan in March. A few months ago, her father, dairy tycoon Sergei Plastinin, paid Paris Hilton (right, with Plastinina) a reported $2 million to model her collection in Moscow, leading British tabloid The Mail On Sunday to dub her one of Russia's "spoilt bratskis." But her designs-lots of pink, purple, and frills-are a hit with Russian teens, who pay $60 to $75 for her miniskirts and blouses. "I think girls respond to how cute they look in the clothes," says Natalie Hormilla, a writer for Fashionista.com
