Kobe Bryant set to play in ITALY during NBA lockout

Posted on by

This should not sound strange at all. He actually grew up there and I believe speaks fluent Italian.

“

Kobe should be in Bologna by Wednesday or Thursday with his visa in hand for medical visits and then we can deposit the contract with the league,” Sabatini said. “I want to make clear that right now there are still no signatures. We’ve got to write the contract, which will then be read over and over again.”

Sounds encouraging.

via The Telegraph

Spanish researchers found that 22 of 24 healthy people (92 per cent) developed an immune response to HIV after being given their MVA-B vaccine.

Posted on by

Ooops!! I really think that the majority of Facebook users do not care about the privacy concerns at this point.

via Daily Mail

In its latest privacy blunder, the social networking site was forced to confirm that it has been constantly tracking its 750million users, even when they are using other sites.
The social networking giant says the huge privacy breach was simply a mistake – that software automatically downloaded to users’ computers when they logged in to Facebook ‘inadvertently’ sent information to the company, whether or not they were logged in at the time.

Just getting familiar with this case which has caused international uproar. Things are definitely going down to the wire and if there is not a dramatic turn of events this will end with his execution.

He was set to be executed by injection at 7 p.m. Wednesday for the 1989 killing of Mark MacPhail, an off-duty police officer who was working as a security guard in Savannah when he was shot dead rushing to help a homeless man who had been attacked.

[video] Bill O’ Reilly threatens to QUIT if Obama Tax Plan passes

Posted on by

Sounds like bullshit to me. Where was Bill O’ Reilly when Wesley Snipes was going through heavy tax problems? Now that he said the government should not be able to tax half of your income a bunch of people will now jump on this bandwagon when there has been discussion of this for decades by those with much less money and political clout. Hit the jump to hear some audio of him speaking on the issue.

Having your kid UFC the next door neighbor’s child and then jumping in, seems perfectly normal to me. After this she took her daughter to the Teen Mom audition.

olice said Ms Melin encouraged the girls to fight, and made no attempt to end it.
During the brawl, one of the girls in the crowd reportedly screamed: ‘You are a mother, you should be stopping this.’
The video shows an adult grabbing a child before delivering a series of knee strikes to the girl’s head.
The disbelief of onlookers can be heard. As the adult attacks the student, one shouts: ‘Are you serious?’
Lt Timothy Dillon told the Post that Ms Melin’s behavior was ‘outrageous.’
He said: ‘She knew what was going to happen and she made it happen. She wanted the 12-year-olds to fight.’
