Supermodel Suicide Story!

Supermodel Ruslana Korshunova died Saturday afternoon June 28, 2008 by jumping from her apartment window in Lower Manhattan. Investigators said it is apparently a suicide. She was only 21.

Police state there appeared to be no signs of a struggle having taken place inside the 9th-floor apartment, which the green-eyed, 5'8" model had occupied for only two months.

The Kazakhstan-born "Russian Rapunzel," as she was known, had appeared as cover girl on editions of French Elle and Russian Vogue, as well as in ads for Marc Jacobs, DKNY, Vera Wang and Christian Dior.

"Our hearts are with her family," a spokesman for her agency, IMG (which also represents Heidi Klum and Kate Moss) told the Post.

Artem Perchenok, 24, her former boyfriend told the paper that the two had watched the movie Ghost and that he dropped her off at home at 5 a.m. Saturday. "She was a good person," he said.

New York's Daily News suggested a lost love was the reason for Korshunova's being despondent.

Quoting poetry she'd placed on the Web, the paper reports that matters of the heart served as the central theme to all her writing.

"Do not confuse love and desire," she posted on her My Space profile on May 30. "Love is the sun, desire – only flash. Desire dazzles, and the sun gives life."

Tim McGraw Fights With Disrespectful Fan

Country music star Tim McGraw is not only a cowboy at heart but on his actions too! During one of his concerts at White River Amphitheater he pulled a man on stage because he saw him getting rowdy to a woman on the audience. Watch this clip below for you to see what had transpire.



The singer ejected the rowdy man from the spectators, in the defense of a female fan. Others, who were standing close to him in the audience, said that he smelled of alcohol and was moving around wildly during the song, smashing into people next to him.

The man, wearing a tank top and cowboy hat, made a quick move toward McGraw, and the singer raised a clinched fist in response.

"He gets up and starts acting like he's going to fight Tim McGraw," said Tricia Johnson, who was there at the concert. "Just, strange."

When McGraw saw him troubling a female fan in the front row, he yelled out “Get rid of this guy! Security!”

Since the security did not turn up fast enough, the singer himself leaned into the crowd and grabbed the man, taking him off of the woman. He was helped by many in his stage crew as well.

Security guards then ran in from the wings of the White River Amphitheater stage to help hold the man back.

The band's performance of 'Indian Outlaw' was not halted and McGraw quickly stepped to the mic and picked up with the line "I ain't lookin' for trouble ... .” as if on cue.

The rabble-rouser on being approached later said that he didn't know what happened; and that he thought he was being pulled on stage to sing with McGraw.

Some Tips for Financial Planning

There are a lot of people who live from pay check to pay check and the idea of having a little extra cash each pay day seems very impossible to achieve.

Financial planning is a great way to manage your funds and expenses so that saving a few dollars every pay day can be done. However, to do this you need to have patience and determination. A lot of us always hear the importance to budget our finances and it sounds like a wonderful idea but to actually do it is the hard part. Financial planning is a good way to save some money by listing out all of your expenses and then sticking on to your budget. If you are successful in your financial planning you will be able to start saving money.

It is also proven that financial planning tends to fail when either of the following two things occurs:

1. Something that you planned on spending on is far more expensive than you thought it would be.
2. When something unexpected happens like your roof breaks down.

There are a few very useful things that you can try to save some money. For paying your electricity, telephone and water bills where you usually have an idea of the amount that you will be paying, you can arrange pre-payments rather than waiting for the bill to come. Even if you will be paying just a few dollars every week, it can make a huge difference if your bills arrive every quarter.

For credit cards, they can be the best thing and can also be the biggest ruin in an individual’s financial wellness. If you frequently use it, always remember that it is best to pay the outstanding balance in full to save more dollars in interest. If you are unable to at least pay more than the minimum balance. It is also better to talk to your bank or other lending companies if it is possible to consolidate your credit cards into loans. Interests on home and personal loans are a lot lower than the interests on credit cards.

The bottom line in financial planning is to know when to say “no”. Regardless of how good the deal may be, do not buy it if you know that it will strain your finances. Try to save that money instead. By the time that you are able to have enough money to spend, you will realize that the things that you were supposed to buy were not a necessity.

It is important that you learn to have patience and determination in financial planning. You may not be able to pay all of your debts overnight but you are at least getting closer to your goals day by day.

In the final minute, Pierce doused Celtics coach Doc Rivers with red Gatorade. Owner Wyc Grousbeck, who named his group Banner 17 to leave no doubt about his goal, put an unlit cigar in his mouth - a tribute to Auerbach, the patriarch who had a hand in the franchise's first 16 titles.

Garnett and Allen were All-Stars in other cities, stuck in Minnesota and Seattle, respectively, on teams going nowhere. But brought together in trades last summer by Celtics general manager Danny Ainge, a member of the '86 Celtics champions, they joined Pierce and formed an unbreakable bond, a trio as tight as the club's lucky shamrock logo.

NBA FINALS: Lakers Vs Celtics Game 3 Result

The Lakers won the 3rd game of the NBA Finals after the 2 game losing streak at the Celtics hometown. MVP, Kobe Bryant scored 36 points and Sasha Vujacic help with an amazing 20 points to get a 6 point advantage against the Boston Celtics at 87-81.

The 3rd game of the series was held at the Staples Center at the hometown of the Lakers at Los Angeles. Both team have a great record on their home court. Both don't like losing in their territories.

Kobe is definitely on the zone at his hometown and the Celtics should do their best to contain him. He is the league MVP for no reason. That's why its a poor judgment for Doc Rivers to let Allen go against Kobe on the last minute of the game.

I am seeing a 7 game series for this Finals. It will be more exciting and the fans will love watching their team and their favorite players battle against the title with their life long rivalry of the Celtics and the Lakers basketball since Bird's and Johnson's time.

NBA Finals Schedules:

Game 4 will be played on June 12 at the Staples Center, Los Angeles, California.

Game 5 June 15 at Los Angeles, California

Game 6 June 17 LA at Boston

Game 7 June 19 LA at Boston.

According to FoxNews, police said that Johnny Jackson, from Goose Creek had been swimming Sunday in a pool from his apartment complex and swallowed some water. His mother saw that Johnny inhaled a lot of water but she dismissed it seeing that the child is alright.

After the incident, Johnny went to take a nap in his room because he was feeling sleepy. When someone went to check on him, the boy had water coming out of his nose and was breathing with difficulty.

His mother called 911 and the boy was sent to Trident Hospital. Doctors tried to save him but Johnny died. Cause of death: asphyxiation.

Berkeley County Coroner Glenn Rhoad said that Johnny had his lungs filled with water, causing him to asphyxiate. Doctors said that the fourth-grader at Westview Elementary School drowned.

According to FoxNews, not all cases of drowning happen immediately. There is secondary drowning as well, which can happen as much as 72 hours later, without any signs.

There was no way that his family could have known what was happening.
