Nice Sale Idea-Come in undressed and go out dressed

Under the slogan 'come in undressed and go out dressed', popular Iberian store Desigual promised a matching top and lower garment to the first 100 people who appear at one of their shops in the centre of Madrid just dressed in their underwear. Perhaps because of its range that verge on the edgier side of things, those who took up the challenge appeared to be mostly from the 20-something age group.

Desigual has already taken New York by storm with underwear parties in two of the city's stores last year

Wow New diagnostic trick-Court fines nipple sucking doctor

HELSINKI - A Finnish doctor who said he sucked a patient's nipple in line with an old midwives' diagnostic trick has been fined for subjecting the 20-year-old woman to a "sexual act", a court said Wednesday.

Two lower courts earlier ruled that the doctor, who insisted he had obtained the patient's permission, had not committed a crime.But overturning those rulings; the Finnish Supreme Court said in a statement that the hospital doctor had been sentenced to "a fine and compensation for sexually taking advantage of a patient and violation of his professional duty."The doctor said that he merely used the technique to diagnose a medical problem in accordance with the long-established midwives' practice during a 2007 appointment for an ultrasound breast exam.

The court added that it considered "it proven that it was indeed a sexual act."

The doctor was ordered to pay a fine of approximately 80 days' salary. He must also pay the woman 1,200 euros (1,600 dollars) in compensation, less than half the 3,000 euros she had requested.

The court said it had decided not to impose a higher penalty because "it was an isolated act perpetrated against an adult plaintiff."

Garbage Saves man-Suicide jumper lands on garbage

NEW YORK - A would-be suicide jumper in New York was alive Monday after leaping from a ninth-floor window but landing in a giant heap of garbage uncollected since the city’s massive snowstorm a week ago.

Vangelis Kapatos, 26, was hospitalized in critical but stable condition after jumping from his apartment on

West 45th Street

on Sunday afternoon, authorities said.Sanitation workers have not collected trash since the Dec. 26 storm dumped more than a foot and a half of snow on the city. Mounds of garbage several feet high line many sidewalks.“Everybody is complaining that the trash hasn’t been picked up,” Kapatos’ aunt said Monday. “But me, I’m thankful that it was never picked up.”Police said the trash bags below broke Kapatos’ fall and that he left no suicide note before jumping.The Department of Sanitation, which was only resuming garbage collecting Monday, estimates 77,000 tons of trash have been left uncollected since the storm.Mayor Michael Bloomberg said he expects workers to be caught up with trash collection by Friday.“It will take a few days to catch up,” Bloomberg said. “But they’re out there today and hopefully in the next three to four days, we’ll be done with it.”

Katharina Capatos, who spells her surname differently from her nephew, told Reuters he was severely depressed and had spent a month in the psychiatric ward at Bellevue Hospital before being released last week.

He also was worried about the possibility of being evicted from his $572-a-month rent-stabilized apartment, she said.

Accidental 'butt-dial' sends out SWAT team

SWAT teams swarmed a Chicago-area school Monday evening after some hip-hop music and an accidental phone call led a woman to believe her husband was being held hostage, officials said. Toting automatic weapons and clad in riot gear, SWAT team members stormed the Winnetka, Ill., school where the woman's husband works and searched it for nearly three hours — all because of a so-called "butt-dial.""You know how when you sit on your phone when it's in your back pocket and it calls the last number that was dialed? His wife was the last number he'd dialed," Winnetka Police Chief Joseph De Lopez told the Chicago Tribune."He was listening to music and he had, I don't know, hip-hop … or music likes that, where there were lyrics that were gangster-like," said Mark Friedman, the school district's superintendent. "So there were lyrics on the radio as he was driving home, and she listened to it and became concerned."The wife, who was not identified, told 911 that when she received the call, she could not get her husband to respond, reported Pioneer Local, leading her to believe he was being held hostage by a gunman in his office.The sweep at the Carleton Washburne School ended when the man was found safe at home by police, the Tribune reported. The man, who is an administrative employee at the school, declined to comment on the situation.

Wow-LOL-Coffee spill stops US flight

TORONTO — A pilot's spilled coffee accidentally triggered a hijacking alert and caused a United Airlines flight from Chicago to Frankfurt, Germany, to make an unscheduled stop in Canada.

A Transport Canada report said United Flight 940 was diverted to Toronto late Monday and landed safely at Pearson International Airport. In a twist reminiscent of the plot of the 1964 Glenn Ford movie 'Fate Is the Hunter', the coffee spill caused distress signals to go out, including code 7500, which means hijacking or unlawful interference.The report says Canada's defense department was notified, but that with the help of United dispatch staff the flight crew confirmed it to be a communication issue and not a hijacking.

The report on Transport Canada's website said the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration reported that United's corporate office had indicated that the pilot "had inadvertently squawked a 7500 code after spilling coffee on the aircraft's radio equipment, which interfered with the communications equipment."

"The flight crew had advised that they had communication problems and subsequently reported that they had some navigation problems as well and from there the pilot in the command diverted the flight onto Toronto," Maryse Durette, a Transport Canada spokeswoman, said Wednesday.United spokesman Rahsaan Johnson acknowledged Wednesday that one of three cockpit crew members caused the mishap by spilling a drink.

"It was a beverage. During light turbulence one of the crew members beverages spilled which then caused issues with the airplanes communications equipment," Johnson said.
