Chief Keef's Cousin Big Glo Killed In Chicago
Big Glo, a rapper who is the cousin of Chief Keef, was shot and killed in Chicago Wednesday night (April 9).
Big Glo, a rapper who is the cousin of Chief Keef, was shot and killed in Chicago Wednesday night (April 9).
Kanye West, Lupe Fiasco and Common are all Chicago natives that have hit the big time. However, there are plenty more rising stars from the city that mainstream America ins't familiar with yet. Noisey dives into this underground rap scene in a new documentary.
After receiving a court-ordered mandate from a judge to enroll in rehab after failing three drug tests while on probation, Chief Keef found himself flying out of LAX airport Saturday (Nov. 8) to get the ball rolling.
After being jailed for violating his probation, Chief Keef is headed to rehab in California. On Friday (Nov. 8), a Chicago judge ordered the 18-year-old rapper to enter a drug treatment facility after testing positive for marijuana.
Chief Keef has run into trouble with the law once again. He's headed back to jail due to a probation violation.
Rapper Chief Keef has to dig deep into his pockets and pay a hefty fine for ignoring a lawsuit. The Chicago artist was ordered by a judge to pay $230,000 to a concert promoter for not showing up to perform.
If you have been under a rock for the last two days, Kendrick Lamar released a verse on a Big Sean song where he calls out a lot of rappers in Hip Hop saying that he is better than them and will murder them (lyrically of course)
Chief Keef's baby mama is putting the rapper on blast for allegedly not paying child support.
Rapper Chief Keef can't win. The 17-year-old was arrested June 17, just minutes he pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of speeding at 110 mph on Chicago's Edens Expressway last month.
Well, it looks like Kanye West is going to keep everything simple with his upcoming solo effort, 'Yeezus.' The rapper-producer revealed the official artwork for the LP through a tweet.
Chief Keef is certainly a speed demon when it comes to his driving and it shows in recently released footage of his arrest earlier this week.
According to TMZ, the teenage rapper Chief Keef was arrested in DeKalb County in a hotel room for doing something that I guess a lot of rappers do these days.

I hide away from the world, I know the pain out there.
I hear it from my cell's window, the world is not so fair.
The world in here is cold and dark,
but my mind creates a light.
Still I hear my friend's voices,
we never have to fight.
And never do I hurt within my mind.
Thus I hide away.
I know the world beyond these walls,
sufferers day by day.
I cant say what went wrong.
there's not much I CAN say.
I've learned it's best to simply watch.
As the world wastes away.
Was it greed or was it lust?
Was it the human mind?
Could it be that human pain is caused by human kind?
Where are MY fires?
Where's MY gun?
Where are the instruments which humans use for FUN?
Where are the desires,
Which humans claim to shun.
Man would run from man, as the night would from the sun.
Though my eyes are fading, and my legs are lame,
I fear I no longer play this human game.
This sense of humanity is another sense tamed.
We were all together,
in that place from which we came.
And should you call me "monster"
I'd say that we're the same.
I'm locked away, and yet somehow I'm free.
Up here, alone, there's no one else to bother me.
Though once I was chained, I oddly feel levity.
The locks gave way when I let go of Humanity.
The humans all say I went insane,
But I say that I now see.
They say that I am different..
But how different can humans be?
Man to man,
Girl to girl,
They are all the same.
I smell the blood.
I hear the guns...
We are all insane.

Fanwood and Scotch Plains Police Invite Residents to Honor Fallen Jersey City Patrolman Melvin Santiago
Thursday, July 17, 2014 • 3:39pm
SCOTCH PLAINS-FANWOOD, NJ -- Members of both the Scotch Plains and Fanwood Police Departments will be sending officers to represent the towns at the funeral of slain Jersey City Patrolman Melvin Santiago on Friday, July 18th.
The 23-year-old rookie police officer was fatally shot while responding to a report of an armed robbery at a 24-hour pharmacy. The suspect, who was killed by Jersey City police in an armed exchange, had taken a gun from the security guard at the pharmacy and waited for police to arrive before shooting Santiago.
Santiago's murder hit close to home for Fanwood Police Chief Richard Trigo, who grew up not far from the area where the shooting took place and who attended high school and college in Jersey City.
"I would like to invite the residents to participate in SHINE YOUR PORCH LIGHT FOR OFFICER MELVIN SANTIAGO to honor this young officer. Please turn on your porch lamp on this Friday evening in his memory," Trigo said. "It's important for us as fellow police officers and as a community to recognize the ultimate sacrifice paid by Officer Santiago in the line of duty."

HoopsHype Charles Barkley rumors
"Coming up as a kid and hearing that from one of the best players ever to come out of Alabama," Cousins said, "a guy people grow up looking up to, to hear him say, 'Well, he's not that good...' I remember it like it was yesterday. Then, coming into my rookie season, you take up for your ex-coach and say I'm the worst thing that ever happened to Sacramento on national TV. Yeah, I'm going to remember." Bleacher Report
Arash Markazi: Scott on Barkley: "I think Charles is eating tomorrow to be honest with you. I don't think he's going on a hunger strike." Twitter @ArashMarkazi
Charles Barkley has been a spokesperson for Weight Watchers, but this is just crazy. During TNT's "NBA Tip-Off" broadcast on Thursday night, Barkley said that he would not eat another meal until the 0-5 Los Angles Lakers win a game. He immediately wanted to rethink that decision. Arizona Republic
Bleacher Report auditioned the legendary duo of Shaquille O'Neal and Charles Barkley for the respective roles. Watch to see their auditions and the trailer of True Detective Season 3. Sportando
The greatest friendship since Rick Blaine and Capt. Renault is on the rocks. So says Charles Barkley. In a Yahoo interview, Charles Barkley divulges that critical comments he's made about the former Charlotte Bobcats as a TNT analyst have rankled MJ, that team's owner. "I think that Michael was upset by some of the things I said about the Bobcats – which, number one, they were true," Barkley said. "I told you earlier, I'm going to be honest, and I'm going to be fair. The Bobcats -– first of all, he's doing a much better job. But a couple years ago, I want to say three years ago, when they were vying for the worst record in NBA history, Michael had not done a good job. He took it personally." Washington Post
Charles Barkley, in an interview with Graham Bensinger: I think that Michael was upset by some of the things I said about the Bobcats – which, number one, they were true. I told you earlier, I'm going to be honest, and I'm going to be fair. The Bobcats – first of all, he's doing a much better job. But a couple years ago, I want to say three years ago, when they were vying for the worst record in NBA history, Michael had not done a good job. He took it personally. NBCSports.com
Charles Barkley is one of the most popular, tell-it-like-it-is minds in the NBA, so it shouldn't have been surprising to hear his response when asked if he thought of coaching in the NBA and if so, why not the Los Angeles Lakers? "No. 1, I'm not jumping on a bad job," the analyst and former player said Tuesday during a teleconference call to promote the 25th annual American Century Championship celebrity golf tournament at Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course. Reno Gazette-Journal
Charles Barkley has been cracking jokes about the women of San Antonio for the last couple weeks. After the Spurs win over the Thunder Monday night the TNT camera's caught Tim Duncan's girlfriend, Vanessa Macias, wearing a shirt that read "Barkley Dont Know." (Apostrophes apparently cost more at the local print shop.) The Big Lead
"There's some big 'ol women down there," Barkley said, repeating insults he has tossed out several times over the years. "That's a gold mine for Weight Watchers…Victoria is definitely a secret. They can't wear no Victoria's Secret down there." O'Neal stressed that Barkley is "just joking" whenever he takes such shots. "I've known Charles a long time," O'Neal said. "He's just having a fun time. The women here are mamita linda…very beautiful, very pretty." San Antonio Express-News
Charles Barkley didn't like what his fellow Basketball Hall of Famer and NBA analyst had to say. It wasn't anger as much as disappointment, like when your parents catch you trying to sneak downstairs to eat all the cookies and play video games. Here's what the TNT analyst said on Inside the NBA on Wednesday night, after the tweet was read: "Magic Johnson's bigger than that. Magic Johnson's bigger than that. Listen, Mike D'Antoni is a good coach. They didn't give him a lot to work with. But Magic Johnson, he's bigger than that." For The Win
Barkley, expecting a one-year suspension, was surprised at the lifetime ban, but supported it fully. "It's an NBA thing, but everyone who goes to work should feel like they're appreciated," he said. "I hope that not just the NBA, but every person who gets humiliated at work, they all stand together. It was just a great day for me." Smith agreed, calling it "one of the proudest moments being in the NBA family" and saying it "lifted my spirits." SB Nation
Charles Barkley, ever the diplomat, had some harsh words for the Indiana Pacers after their Game 1 loss to the Atlanta Hawks: "Wussies,'' he called them. Blue collar, gold swagger ... wussies. "Dogs,'' he called them. USA Today Sports
Paul George acknowledged the team was aware of Barkley's observations. "That's Charles being Charles," he said. "I didn't take no offense to it. Chuck ain't been behind this team from the get-go." Um, that's not true. Barkley has been the biggest Pacers fan on national TV, and has been for two years. He picked the Pacers to reach the NBA Finals last year during the Heat series, and has continually sung the team's praises throughout this year. "Larry (Bird) has told us that as well, when he said we were playing soft," George said, referring to a Bird late-night call to a Star reporter that set off a Twitter firestorm. "We need to play bigger and stronger and play more aggressive. It doesn't fire me up. It fires us up that we took a loss against a team we should have beaten and gave up home-court advantage." USA Today Sports
The Indiana Pacers are on the verge of a complete meltdown. The team survived a disastrous end to the regular season and still managed to claim the East's No. 1 seed, but the Pacers gave away home court advantage with a shocking Game 1 loss to the No. 8 Atlanta Hawks Saturday. Atlanta cruised to a 14-0 lead to open the game and kept the lead in double-digits until the final minute of play. Kyle Korver blocked Roy Hibbert twice. On TNT Sunday, analyst Charles Barkley unloaded on the Pacers, calling them "flat wussies" for their performance. For The Win
In an interview with late-night talk show host Conan O'Brien, Barkley says that golfer Tiger Woods, Jordan, and Jordan's former Bulls teammate Scottie Pippen are among the cheapest people that he knows. "There's nobody cheaper than Scottie Pippen and Michael Jordan," Barkley said. "Oh yeah, [Jordan is] cheap. I always give homeless people money and he will always slap my hand [and tell me], 'If they can ask you for spare change, they can say, 'Welcome to McDonald's, can I help you, please?'" SI.com
Steve Popper: So Charles Barkley said of Steve Kerr potentially coaching the Knicks: "Steve is not that stupid. He's not going to come to the Titantic." Twitter @StevePopper

What is +- for other Bucks in the unit that he plays in? Does anyone know? He has a mix of starts and comming off the bench. Maybe he has played in a high energy bench like the old Alternatorz. If he is the only guy with high +- then I would be impressed. Plus this is his 6th year in the league. Have to keep that in mind when comparing to rookies.
On court, he's a -0.6 points per 100 possessions off court, the rest of the team is -8.1 per 100 possessions His net +7.6 leads the team (with players who have played more than 8% of total minutes). I'm just comparing him to our rook and the other rook that we might have had because he's another young big that we just took a pass on. He's only 23 years old with very limited play in his first 3 season (a lot of D-League time, which was a substitute to college bball). Mainly just trying to cast a critical eye on the decision because I believe that it is decisions like this that keep a team from sustaining a winning program. You need development and you need to discover your diamonds in the rough if you are going to fight the natural forces of having a lack of top draft picks (from the winning record). Darko was a lucky gift stemming from the Otis Thorpe trade. We squandered it either by picking poorly or by butchering the development. Amir was just a very smart draft pick gamble that I would argue could have been a feather in Joe's cap. Instead, he spent 4 years developing Amir for another franchise. Afflalo was another brilliant draft pick with some strong development that we also squandered. Picks like Walter Sharpe and others just flat out didn't work. I'm not going to pretend that Joe should always draft well, because it's a bit of a crapshoot. But when you do draft a guy and he shows signs of greatness... or solidness, you gotta take advantage of the cheap talent before their value goes up. The extreme opposite is buying Ben Gordon in the FA market. His value is fully known and you're going to pay top dollar to get it. I see that as a move that keeps fans excited, but does nothing to "beat" the salary cap. Look at all of the baseball teams that succeed with smaller budgets than the rich teams. Their main advantages are that they develop talent well and they trade and acquire well. i.e. they get guys who produce at a higher rate than they have to pay them.
True we did essentially spend a lot of resources developing him for another team. This year - is he part of a special unit? They are a pretty bad team so overall they will have bad numbers. Is there anyone else on the team with +- near his?
Amir has started 33 out of 51 games. Reggie Evans was the starter at the beginning of the year and Amir basically replaced him when he went down with a year-ending injury. Reggie was having an incredible year rebounding wise with 16 per 36 minutes, but he wasn't scoring at all with a .360 FG%. He also wasn't blocking shot. Overall, I'd say that Amir has probably permanently established his starting role, especially now that his foul rate is down to a level that would allow him to average 40+ mpg. Amir has been on the court for 1,329 minutes and they are -60. Amir has been off the court for 1,167 minuts and they are -289. As far as the +/-, I missed 2 that have better net on/off +/-. Wright and Dorsey. Wright has played 20% of their minutes and Dorsey is at 18% (both bench players with occasional starts... 13 between them).
Monroe interview Didn't want to start another thread, so here it goes. DBB has a transcript of the recent WDFN interview w/ Greg Monroe: WDFN interview with Greg Monroe - Detroit Bad Boys This is very interesting to read.
He's doing his best to get rid of the clueless label. Seems like he's really improving. The rotations is approved by the majority of this forums members and he's developing the rooks. He might be lurking.
Considering the first several years were with Detroit, you got to give a medal to Amir just for being any good at all. The last thing we did was develop Amir. As far as I can tell, Amir got worse each year we had him, due to extreme non-use. By the time we did play him, the rust on him was so thick he was just a shell of himself as far as his offensive game. Now, his defense on the other hand was still very good - and even his foul troubles evaporated anytime we actually played him steady minutes (which we did do every here and there toward the end of his time here.) Bottom line: Dumars did a fine job of finding Amir at #60 in the draft and then did an utter stupid thing in letting him go for nothing to make room to sign Wilcox, a player not even a third as good as Amir. (Not to mention we also gave Afflalo away to make room for Wilcox - and Afflalo is a starter on a very good team now while Wilcox has barely played since we got him. In all, one of the worst moves Dumars ever made - letting two of his best defensive players go - which put us out of the playoffs last year as much as inept coaching and injuries did.)(oh, and just defense? Hardly, these two guys, if we had a coach with a clue, would have also been two of our most efficient scorers.) (I must add - Curry had it right at the start of the season where he coached. He put Amir in as the starting PF along with Sheed at center. This was a perfect fit for Amir. Amir was assigned the task of running hard - getting back on defense for instance - while Sheed could take it easy and use all his energy for tough interior D and scoring. With Billups, Rip, and Tay the other 3 starters, plus Afflalo and Stuckey coming off the bench as our backup guards, we were poised to make some noise deep into the playoffs. Then Dumars completely torpedoed the team by giving away Billups in a cap move.)
Amir was basically beaten out by Maxiel except for that stretch when Curry was starting him. Why did he stop? Because Amir was picking up 2 or 3 fouls half way though the 1st quarter which put the other team on the charity stripe early. He is talented but was always a dumb player when he was here - forgetting plays, dumb fouls. I am glad he has found his niche. Toronto has won 5 less games than us so far this year so.
Amir is a taller version of JJ, but I believe that JJ will turn out to be a signficantly better all around player. I thought Amir had a chance to be a star in this league, but I think his peak now is as a good role player. JJ seems like a smarter player - he makes more really good and winning basketball plays, and he's going to turn out to be a much better offensive player than Amir - especially as a shooter. That said, I've always loved Amir's ability and potential to score when he gets the ball in the paint. The guy has great hands, and is a super athlete. I wouldn't hate at all having Amir as a back up PF, Daye playing SG and SF, and JJ playing PF and backup SF. Amir is exactly the type of guy who would compliment Monroe - a major leaper and shot blocker, high percentage rebounder, great interior finisher, that would compliment Monroe's high post game and great passing skills. But JJ and Daye are great fits in their own right with Greg.
Yeah. That's twice. I, like Dumars, did not think the Aflacalalacacola or Amir losses would be any big deal. I also thought Wilcox would work out. I also believed getting rid of Billups for Iverson was a good move for the team. But unlike Dumars, I don't get paid hundreds of thousands to build the team. Nor do I watch any of the games. I'm wondering whether he does? What is worse. Dumars not watching the games and being lazy, or Dumars watching the games but being stupid?
ESPN Insider rates Monroe as the second best rookie behind Blake Griffin. Article talks about Monroe's ceiling and how he just keeps getting better and better. Monroe will end up being an all-star. If you look at most of the Georgetown Centers they usually get progressively better every year, Monroe is no exception.
I hope that's true. His style of play is the kind that doesn't typically get noticed in an all-star type of way though. Duncan is the rare exception and all of his Championships helped sustain the rep.
The true measure is how well Amir's fantasy basketball owners are doing in their respective leagues...
I was on vacations so.. Long time since I don't log in and read you, people. Monroe is really what we were expecting of him.. But HOW is that ESPN rates Monroe as the second best behind Griffin??.. Where is John Wall in there?? I mean.. I love our rookies but if ESPN thinks that Monroe is better than Wall.. I don't know man.. I don't see it that way. About Cousins or Monroe.. it's hard to say.. Cousins has that "hunger" that reminds me of the young KG (not about style of play, just, attitude and all that..) Attitude is very important, Monroe is like Duncan, peaceful and quiet.. But if he can give us what Duncan gave to the Spurs, I have no problem with that LOL
Thorpes rookie rankings on ESPN are about which rookie is playing the best at the time of the rankings - not a projection about which rookie he feels will be the best pro down the line. He's explicit about that.
Is this really the guy you guys are all raving about? DeMarcus Cousins Suspended After Reported Fisticuffs With Donte Greene - Sactown Royalty Count me out. Cousins is an idiot.

Canadian solo yachtsman rescued from Pacific
Published on Apr 8, 2014 6:37 AM
WELLINGTON (AFP) - A Canadian solo sailor was rescued from his sinking yacht after five days adrift in the Pacific battling rough weather, Maritime New Zealand (MNZ) said on Tuesday.
A Swedish-flagged car-carrier, the Fidelio, made a 370km mercy dash to pluck him from the ocean some 2,300km north-east of Auckland, MNZ said.
The rescue authority said it received a distress signal from the 11m sloop L'Antillaise on Monday morning, and sent an air force Orion to investigate.
The plane spotted the yacht and diverted the Auckland-bound Fidelio to pick up the sailor.

Taylor Will Go Up In The Pecking Order If Ferdinand Strop Continues
Roy Hodgson will not "dig a grave" for Rio Ferdinand's international hopes ... but they seem to have been buried.
The vicious anti-Ferdinand chants during last night's 8-0 World Cup qualifying win over San Marino will surely make it impossible for Hodgson to consider the Manchester United defender, even if his "intricate and pre-planned" fitness regime allows.
For if the fans who made their way to this tiny corner of the FIFA family felt it necessary to bellow such nasty taunts, how would a full Wembley react to the appearance of a player who preferred to commentate on his country rather than actually turn out for them?
Roy Hodgson: "Of course I heard it.
"I'm not deaf.
"But I've absolutely no comment to make on it."
Steven Taylor didn't make it onto the pitch in San Marino, but Ferdinand's "retirement" will obviously move the Newcastle defender up the pecking order.

Table arrived quickly, decent price and box looked good and thats where the positives end. Opened the box to find all the drawer glides were severely broken. They were put in with some sort of staples and the staples cracked every piece of wood. The distressed green finish was not applied to the top of this table. Anyway, I decided I didn't need more frustration by going through the return process so I banged the staples in with a hammer and will glue the drawer glides back in. I didn't expect fine furniture at the price point but this is pure junk. Stay away!
I ordered this table as replacement for a table I had ordered that was out of stock. The Green Console table arrived damaged BOTH TIMES! Do not be tempted by the photos. It will be a sad disappointment. trust me.
Its a nice piece, but not high quality. Beautiful color!
I purchased this table for my outdoor patio. I'm going to put a coat of matte polyurethane on it to protect it from moisture, but it's exactly what I wanted and for a great price too!
Love this table! It looks exactly like it does in the pic. The only exception is when I received the table and assembled it, which was very easy, the slats that the drawers slide on were broke. I'm assuming that may have been from shipping, but I will eventually fix them. Not too concerned about the drawers, being that I will probably never use them. They are there for the looks!
The table looks exactly like I wanted it to look. I love the look. However, beware of the way it is shipped. It is shipped with only legs needing attachment. Which is usually a good thing. But it this case, it was shipped with the drawers inside the table with no support. As a result, two of the wooden drawer runners/slides were seriously broken. Didn't want to have to ship it back, so we attempted a fix with wood glue, and small finishing nails. It's nice to look at, but the drawers don't really slide very well, so I don't expect to be using them.
Much better than anticipated. Looks like made from old wood and yes it could pass for a flea market find. Very happy with purchase...packed well and legs were easy to assemble.

AstraZeneca is paying Rigel Pharmaceuticals $1 million up front for exclusive, worldwide rights to the latter's inhaled JAK inhibitor R256, which is in preclinical development for the potential treatment of moderate-to-severe chronic asthma. AstraZeneca will start first-in-human clinical studies as well as design and conduct clinical development. The firm retains exclusive global commercialization rights to R256.
The total value of the deal, including development, regulatory, and commercialization payments to Rigel, could reach $100 million. The firm says preclinical studies have shown that that R256 inhibits IL-13 and IL-4 signaling at the primary cellular level, reducing the severity of inflammation and improving lung function.
AstraZeneca is also Rigel's global licensee for its lead oral syk inhibitor fostamatinib (previously R788), which is in Phase III development as a treatment for RA. The Phase III program, Oskira, enrolled its first patient in 2010 and is evaluating fostamatinib in patients who don't adequately respond to current RA therapies including disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs and parenteral anti-TNF.
Rigel is focused on the development of small molecule drugs for the treatment of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases as well as muscle disorders. The firm's Phase I pipeline includes the inhaled syk inhibitor asthma candidate R343, a topical JAK/SYK inhibitor R333 for the treatment of discoid lupus, and an oral JAK3 inhibitor R548 for potential applications against transplant rejection and other immune disorders. Earlier-stage compounds are separately in development in fields including dry eye syndrome, muscular atrophy, and muscle metabolism.

Construction Accidents: Falling Objects
Locate a Local Personal Injury Lawyer
What Is a Falling Object Accident?
Falling objects cause many injuries and the occasional fatality at construction sites. Even a small item can cause serious harm if dropped from an elevated position. Employers may have a duty to protect their employees, and innocent bystanders, from harms such as falling objects.
Preventing Falling Object Accidents
Employers and workers can work together to avoid accidents by implementing detailed safety procedures and training. Steps that can help prevent falling object accidents include:
- Carrying tools in work belts and tool boxes
- Raising equipment and materials with hand lines and elevators
- Placing equipment and materials in safe places, where they will not slide, roll, or vibrate loose, or be blown loose by the wind
- Making sure that workers are aware of who, and what, is underneath them at all times
- Posting warning signs and erecting protective barriers
How Do I Prove There Was a Falling Object Accident in Court?
Falling object accidents, like most personal injury cases, involve negligence, or carelessness. These cases are usually directed at the construction company for carelessness by creating an unsafe work environment. The elements of negligence are duty, breach, causation, and damage.
In falling object accidents where the injured party is a construction worker, causation is typically the primary issue. Many courts have limited employer liability by holding that only injuries caused by falling construction material can be awarded to construction workers. In other words, if construction material didn't strike the worker, than there is no liability because the company couldn't control outside objects.
For parties who are injured simply by walking underneath a construction site, breach will be a problem. Proving that a construction company was careless is difficult if the construction company refuses to reveal necessary evidence without a direct court order.
Personal injury attorneys in these situations may invoke the doctrine of "Res Ipsa Loquitur." This tort doctrine means that the accident is self-explanatory; there would have been no accident if there wasn't some kind of carelessness.
Are There Any Defenses a Construction Company Could Use?
Since falling object accidents are a form of negligence, the plaintiff has the burden of proving that the construction company was in fact careless. Some defenses were already mentioned above: the falling object is sometimes required to be construction material which the company controls before injury can be compensated.
The affirmative defense of contributory negligence or assumption of the risk is also popular in this area of personal injury. The former is a defense which states that the injured party was also careless, thereby causing, at least in part, their own accident. The latter is a defense which states that the injured party was warned, but took on the danger anyway. These defenses are most viable when there are danger and warning signs around the construction zone.
Can a Lawyer Help?
If you or a loved one has been injured in a construction accident, and you believe it is the fault of your employer or another party, contact an attorney. A personal injury lawyer may be able to help you recover for your medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and possibly even punitive damages. Remember that there are deadlines established in the law, so contact an attorney before it is too late.

I've been reflecting on this, and I think this model really resonates with me. I've learned through my training and profession to be very quantitative about things. I think that consciously deciding to consider the risk, every time I try something risky, might really help improve decision-making.
The part I've been considering the most, though, is that I don't really have a good way to assess the risk of various activities. I'm not experienced enough to know how things can go wrong. In this case, it seemed that docking to a wharf wasn't much different from other stuff I've docked to before; what I didn't consider were the effects of wind. It's obvious in hindsight, but ahead of time, it's hard to really see everything that can go wrong.
Tied up in this is basically the reality that I'm going to have to keep pushing myself out of my comfort zone if I'm going to continue to improve my sailing skills. I have to try new things, that seem slightly harder than things I've already done.
I still can't believe I went back for that crappy fender though. I have no idea what I was thinking.

Ben and Shaq stage thriller in Ambridge
Hollywood came to Ambridge last night in the form of a tremendously scripted, undeniably staged football reality show.
But for Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, who was one half of the made-for-TV-event's star power, the evening stage and the field's floodlights had to serve as a welcome respite from the spotlight he has been under as the subject of a lawsuit claiming he sexually assaulted a Nevada casino worker last summer. Last night, Ambridge Area High School's Moe Rubenstein stadium was turned into a giant stage for the taping of an episode of "Shaq Vs.," a new ABC reality television show starring Cleveland Cavaliers center Shaquille O'Neal. This taping featured Mr. O'Neal going head-to-head against Mr. Roethlisberger in a football competition. And at the end of the "game," Team Ben defeated Team Shaq, 21-14. But truth be told, the athletic component was just a portion of what Steelers fans had on their minds as about 5,000 of them settled into the stadium. Mr. Roethlisberger arrived about 6 p.m., and was greeted with a roar from the crowd that had already gathered, as he walked toward the locker room wearing a black T-shirt, jeans and sneakers. He was listening to some music on his earphones. A line of fans cheered and clapped for him, and many wanted autographs. A minute later, he was gone, already in the basement locker room, followed by staffers, security crews and TV cameras. The fans continued to wait in line to enter the stadium. They were ecstatic; some waited more than three hours. There was a significant buzz in and around the stadium as fans waited for a glimpse of the two stars. For them, last night was more than a Friday night at a high school stadium in Western Pennsylvania. It also was a chance to see -- and support -- Mr. Roethlisberger, the two-time Super Bowl winning quarterback, now facing a serious lawsuit. "I know it's not true," said fan-for-life Justin Laveing, 13, of Beaver Falls. "Big Ben is a great guy, and I don't think he'd do something like that." Tammy Goodwin, 46, of Economy, stood near the front of the line with her husband, Shawn. A bus driver for the Ambridge Area School District, she arrived on line at 4:30 p.m. because she had to drop off her two teen-age daughters, Breanna and Allison, who were performing as flag twirlers for the taping. Coming to see the daughters was her main objective, she said. "But they're now the bonus," she added, referring to the athletes. As for Mr. Roethlisberger's legal issues, she said, "I don't think anybody cares. We're all here for him." By 5 p.m., when Shaq arrived in a red Ford, more than 150 fans were already waiting in line. Mr. O'Neal, in a white T-shirt and patchwork madras shorts, sat down in front of locker No. 10, while the ABC cameras rolled. "Lemme get my yoga on," he said, as he started to focus for the game. Outside, 5-year-old Trevor Danielson was waving a multi-colored cardboard sign: "Shaq vs. Ben: Incredible." Trevor's cousins, 14-year-old Wes Johnson and 12-year-old Dillon Johnson, were here with their grandmother, 61-year-old Kellyne Johnson, who was under a red-and-white umbrella. The Johnsons drove three hours from Jamestown, N.Y., to come to the event. The kids wanted autographs. "I said, 'Don't plan on it,' " said Ms. Danielson, with a smile. Meanwhile, everything was in place on the field. And it was pure Hollywood. Six giant props -- more than 20 feet high -- in the shape of the show's logo, an intertwined capital "V" and lowercase "s" dotted the field. By the time the gates opened, much later than advertised, Mr. O'Neal had left the field after warming up, leaving the field for Mr. Roethlisberger. In what seemed like equal-parts fun and a public relations move, Mr. Roethlisberger played catch -- from the field -- with fans in the bleachers for at least 20 minutes before taping began. During that time, Steelers coach Mike Tomlin -- flanked by his wife, Kiya, and three children -- walked up to Mr. Roethlisberger and exchanged a greeting. Mr. Roethlisberger was introduced to the expected loud cheers from the largely partisan Steelers crowd. Mr. O'Neal -- wearing a gold No. 8 jersey, the same color as his alma mater, Louisiana State University -- was also greeted with loud cheers when introduced. At 9:15 p.m., the "game" began. While the other players, members of the Pittsburgh Colts semi-pro team, wore full pads, neither Mr. Roethlisberger nor Mr. O'Neal wore pads or a helmet in the seven-on-seven passing scrimmage format. Mr. O'Neal's athletic ability was evident early on as he threw a touchdown from 20 yards on the third snap he took. A handicapping system was agreed upon that required Mr. Roethlisberger's team to go 40 yards for a touchdown while Mr. O'Neal's needed to travel only 20. Mr. Roethlisberger, looking as if he could have thrown a touchdown just about every time he dropped back if he really wanted to, sort of took it easy on Mr. O'Neal, only tossing three touchdowns to the basketball great's two scores. That elicited this from Mr. O'Neal, "I let you win, Ben! I let you win!" Mr. O'Neal then pointed to Mr. Tomlin, standing in the corner of the end zone and jabbed Mr. Roethlisberger even a little more, continuing, "I didn't want to beat you in front of your coach, I couldn't embarrass you like that, Ben. That's why I let you win." And for one summer night in Western Pennsylvania, football once again was king. "Shaq Vs." will premiere at 9 p.m. Aug. 18 on ABC. http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/09206/986386-66.stm

Re: Ben and Shaq stage thriller in Ambridge
Sounds like it was a lot of fun and probably very theaputic for Ben. NIce job, Steelers Nation! Me so proud!
"We're not going to turn our backs on him," Ward said. "We're going to treat him like our brother. We're going to accept him back and be very supportive of him and help him get through this. In this locker room, he's still our quarterback." |

Re: Ben and Shaq stage thriller in Ambridge
Steelers QB Roethlisberger Makes Public Appearance Filming Show w/ Shaquille O'Neal Ben Roethlisberger made a statement on Thursday regarding the rape allegations that he says are totally false. Friday it was back at work, as Big Ben made good on an appearance of NBA star Shaquille O'Neal's new TV reality show. Roethlisberger was given a warm ovation by Steelers fans in what was his first public appearance since the allegations broke. Despite the pressure that he has to be under due to the allegations, Roethlisberger appeared at ease and loose at a suburban Pittsburgh high school field Friday night in front of an estimated 5,000. He played the part with O'Neal, - trashing-talking, whooping it up with the crowd, raising his fist in the air after long completions and doing fist pumps while sprinting down the field after touchdowns. "I love him so much, and I believe my baby's innocent," said 47-year-old Bonita Thompson, who lives two blocks from the stadium. "People try to take advantage of him. But all of Ambridge supports him. I work at a nursing home, and all the people I take care of love him and support him." Now we shall see if the allegations cause any distraction at training camp at the end of the month. |

An alcove way up high. Who says window seats have to be chair-level? Climbing a short ladder up to this fun window seat separates you from everyone and everywhere else. I would feel like a little bird perched in my nest.
Convert a deep closet into a hideaway space. If you don't need the closet in a home office or guest bedroom, turn it into a sitting area. Take off the doors and add built-in drawers across the bottom of the closet to create a bed-height bench and provide extra storage. Install good overhead lighting and shelves for books, then paint the interior and trim in a warm color. Throw pillows that invite family and friends to sit, read and relax finish off the space.
Close off one end of a room with a drape. There's no need to add a physical wall to create a separate space. A drape works just as well, and an added bonus is the warm cozy feel that all the fabric creates when it is pulled closed. Place a chair, chaise, or window bench behind the curtain and relax.
To get this look, use a ceiling rod bracket from Country Curtains with a 3/4" rod, add rings and hang a drape or drapes.

Carve out space under a stairwell. Many times this area is wasted space or relegated to storage, but an upholstered bench and lots of soft pillows turn it into the perfect nook.
A light color palette keeps a potentially dark little space airy and bright. Retain some of the storage capability with built-in drawers underneath for storing extra blankets and books.

Use furniture layout to create a floating nook. Start with a focal point, such as a fireplace or wall of bookcases. Place two comfy chairs in front to create an L-shape. Finish by adding a rug under the chairs. This physically separates the space even though there are no walls.
Place two wingback chairs facing each other under a window or against a wall to create a cozy conversation area. This works because when you're seated, you are looking at the person in the chair in front of you, not at the space around you. An ottoman or table between the chairs is both functional and helps soften the look.
Do you have a double-door closet in your upstairs hallway? Turn it into a reading area. Loft areas and open hallways also work well as small library spaces.
Nooks need a light source. If the nook is built into a wall or is otherwise very tight, you may not have room for a floor lamp. Go for a wall sconce instead. If you can't hardwire one into your nook, try a plug-in like this antiqued sconce from Crate and Barrel.
Use knee walls (half walls) to separate a little library nook in a larger space. Surround the space with shelves filled with books and display items, then make it cozy with a rug and comfy chairs.
Use lighting to highlight a cozy spot. Adding a floor lamp directly behind or next to a chair in a corner illuminates just that small space and turns it into a separate area within the larger room.
This is a great option for a floor lamp. Not only is it beautiful and unusual, but its three-way switch allows you change the ambience in the space by controlling the amount of light it puts out.
Create a kitchen nook. Are you in the kitchen a lot? If you have room, add one or two upholstered chairs and a small round table to remind you to sit and relax for a moment.
Try an angled chaise in an empty corner. Set it so it doesn't jut out into the room, but instead touches the adjacent walls. The small triangular area behind the chaise is just big enough to fit a small table and lamp.
Separate a seating area in your bedroom. Simply turn your chairs away from the rest of the room. They can look out the window or toward a wall of bookcases.
Pull back from the conversation. If your furniture is centered in the room, pull an upholstered chair back in a corner away from the central seating. Add a lamp and table, and you have a little reading nook.
The ultimate private nook. This classic design is the very definition of a "nook." The built-in benches with their high sides facing the room add privacy, but the small space doesn't feel dark or too enclosed. Wish I had a spot in my home for this!
