Izabela lukomska pyzalska

Izabela Lukomska Pyzalska (AFP) - Polish 2nd Division Warta Poznan strayers may have found a hidden arm in their combat to avoid falling: a former star player cover boy.

Izabela Lukomska-Pyzalska, 33, was named chairman of the club and committing to a heavy boat to try to save the decline Warta.

Lukomska-Pyzalska told rolling news channel TVN24 unfazed by macho football in Poland.

"This is not a problem for me. It's my food and drink," she said.

Lukomski Pyzalska-time leader in real estate and construction in western Poland.

"It's not really a world of women, either," she noted.

"I worked as a model a few years ago. I was in the construction and property development for five years. In these five years we have become a leading developer of Poznan. I think I can accomplish the same thing in football," she said.

"I do not have a touch of light to the construction industry; I'm looking for the stock itself. Order and discipline," she added.

Lukomski Pyzalska-even on the covers of Playboy, where she was "Playmate of the Year" in 2001, and adult magazines. She also appeared in the Polish soap opera, called "What men are afraid?"

Warta is ready to celebrate their 100th anniversary next year, making them one of the oldest clubs in Poland.

But its glory days are well in the past.

They are stuck in the top three in 1920 and 1930, and won the title in 1929.

On Second World War while the Nazi German occupiers forbade Polish sport Warta Poznan continued in secret in the league.

They won the championship again in 1949, but dropped the following year. Eventually, they returned to the elite in 1993, but remained in force for two seasons.

They're presently 3rd by lower in Division Two, in which case they are a tough battle, when the league resumed in March after the winter break.

0 0 0 0 Oprah's Secret, Mother, Vernita Lee Gave Away Sister Patricia

I think it's almost impossible to be enthusiastic about Oprah Winfrey. Love her or detest her, there's no denying that a woman can make a very interesting television. Today may be single of the highest days in the history of Oprah Winfrey, because she has just presented the world with her time lost half-sister, Patricia.

A very beautiful woman of 47 years that does not look like Oprah, Patricia came on stage Oprah just a moment ago. Oprah talked about the emotional after his entrance, saying, "Because I have a person known to the public was a couple of times I've never been and is not sold out 'was a couple of times when you bring someone new into your life and that person is cheating on one thing. Is so Patricia unusual is that (she) is an open secret since 2007. she tried and tried and tried to get answers to my mother and other members of the family. she never thought of going to press. So when I heard this from you, I said no matter if it's true or not sure, I had to respond because I wanted to meet someone who was a character. "

Interestingly, Patricia has the same name as Oprah passed half-sister Pat, who expired of complications related to drug use. As for this strange coincidence, Oprah said: "I do not care that the patent for its best day. You wanted to be without drugs."

Oprah and Patricia same mother, Vernita Lee. Oprah's cousin Alice was the only family extremity who recognized that Lee had given nativity to a child who may not keep up. Oprah and Patricia visited her mother to discuss the story of Patricia his approval and the subsequent search for his family. "I was so shocked to know that he was trying to get in touch with me," Lee said. When I heard, I'm afraid, but I was a bit 'suspicious. I just heard that it's fun. I think it was a terrible thing to do, I had done, gave my daughter when she was born. "

Patricia Lee gave up because he wanted to be able to stop the collection of well-being, and he knew that if he takes a second child, she was still employed by the system. Lee said he told the nurse at the hospital, which will give Patricia, and the nurse said, "Why?" She's so beautiful girl. " Lee had second thoughts, and "went looking for a child, but hospital officials told him a Patricia Lee, who did not name had disappeared.

A tear Patricia said: "I'm taking it all now because I've never heard that I was a pretty baby, so I do not know. I always had the feeling that does not mean I give up."

Oprah said the consultation, "I had a revelation when I left my mother he is still stuck in 1963 and continues to drive a shame that would have been put on him in 1963, and was therefore not fully able to take you so I want to tell our mother. You can let go. You can give a shame to go. There are millions of people who have abandoned their children, so Vernita, you can give it a go. "

Oprah got pregnant as a 14-years and the resulting baby died in hospital two weeks. Sister died of Oprah Winfrey, Pat tells the story to the tabloids and Oprah has expressed a feeling that even then, that induced a rupture between the 2 women, she realizes now that the revelation of the secret of Oprah's Pat’s was released the same shame that she feels her mother still feels. "Freedom for all, that's what you brought into our lives," said Oprah siblings found.

Oprah ended the episode smile and laugh and said: "As you can imagine, Patricia and I are still sorting it all on It's a process we will learn to know each other in the coming months and years and days to come ... That's the truth I know, thank you so much to do today, and as part of our family business.”

Chicago Tribune

E 'nostalgic to remember the early days of e-commerce, forcing online retailers to collect taxes, which have threatened their business models are weak. These days, online giants dominate certain categories of retail sales. Then it's time to Amazon.coms contend on match conditions.

In its current form, Amazon and other large retailers do not collect e-mail Illinois 6.25 percent sales tax on goods sold here. By law, individuals are required to report their purchases on the Internet, on the situation, but enforcement is not practical.

Today, the General Assembly approved a tax known as Amazon, which hopes to sign Gov. Pat Quinn. This account has aught in usual with the increased tax revenue scandalous Quinn became law. Rather, it is a significant step toward what we hope a fair solution: an ideal opening to close the federal law that offers a strong legal fundament and simplify the different tax systems. However, several bills have gone anywhere on Capitol Hill in recent years, when cash-strapped states, who have no other choice but to continue on their own.

The new law, however, the thrust of Illinois in an unresolved question: Under the commerce article of the United States Constitution, it is unclear whether Amazon or other state e-tailers may be forced to play fundraiser taxes for public officials as planned.

Companies selling over the Internet and collect taxes, if they are physically present in the same state. Covering a brick and mortar retail merchant* specified Borders or Barnes & Noble. New York and elsewhere have imposed the same rules for the Seattle-based Amazon and similar online stores, according to which its relationship with affiliates of the number of local marketing presence in the territory. Illinois law follows this approach.

Amazon is committed to fight against these measures, in part by reducing its affiliates, which cover a portion of sales shipped to the store. At small one, CouponCabin.com has threatened to leave if signs of Illinois Bill Quinn.

Quinn must sign anyway. To encourage California and other states along the fence to go ahead with similar legislation, which in turn that online retailers to reconsider their threats of "scorched earth." The pressure will mount to the federal government's solution we need.

Here, no one likes the idea of a tax business. On the airfoil, it places the wrong message, especially in the state legislature to prevent a terrible record on creating jobs.

But many companies in Illinois, including the Association of Retail Merchants of Illinois, hopes that this simple action for justice. They are right. Amazon and their families earn hundreds of millions of dollars in sales to Illinois residents. Why e-tailers gain an advantage in stores price competition that is required by law to charge sales tax? While a purchaser chooses to purchase a book that should be unequal taxation not decides who makes the sale.
