Sheyla Hershey's breast augmentation may be lethal!

Houston's Sheyla Hershey broke the world record with her size 38KKK breasts. The Brazillian "model" has had 30 breast augmentations, and the most recent one might be the one that kills her or causes her to lose her prized possessions.
In June, Hershey went to her native Brazil to have another breast surgery and came down with a severe staph infection in both breasts. She returned to Texas for help and the doctor said she should fear for her life if the infection spreads. An aggressive course of antibiotics has helped one breast, but the second one isn't responding to treatment. She went into surgery yesterday to have the latest implants removed. That means she may have to forgo the record for having the world's largest rack

Dubai- The Metro Train

Dubai inaugurated its metro network in September 2009, becoming the first urban metro network in the Gulf's Arab states. It is hoped that the system will ease the daily commute for thousands of the emirate's workers.
With an economy increasingly based upon financial services, air transport, property development and tourism, Dubai has a rapidly growing population and severe traffic congestion problems. The population is forecast to increase by 6.4% annually, rising to three million by 2017. Tourist numbers are projected to reach 15 million in 2010.
Dubai Municipality identified the need for a rail system to relieve growing motor traffic and support continuing urban development based on studies that began in 1997. Systra was awarded the preliminary engineering contract, and Dubai Rail Link (DURL), a consortium of four companies headed by Japan's Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI), is leading the project to build the first two lines of the high-tech driverless rapid transit system. The other consortium members are the Japanese Obayashi and Kajima corporations, and Yapi Merkesi of Turkey.
The metro will be fully integrated within the network operated by the Roads & Transport Authority (RTA), a body created in 2005. Routes will be organised around the backbone provided by the rail system.
"The Red Line is the only route that has been completed so far. A second, the Green Line, is under construction, and three more are planned."
Around 1.74 million passengers used the metro in its first month, according to the statistics released by the RTA. The average number of passengers travelling on the Red Line has been estimated at 57,000 per day.
The Red Line is the only route that has been completed so far. A second, the Green Line, is under construction and a further three are planned. The intention is for 320km of metro lines in place in Dubai by 2020.
DURL officials are also in the process of negotiations with major local and international companies for acquiring brand naming rights – in other words, advertisement rights – for the 23 stations on Red and Green lines.
