    I remember watching him play as a very young child. Russell and Chamberlin are who made me a basketball fan.

      • Anne Heche has been declared brain dead after her self caused accident
        (that likely was performed while being intoxicated with alcohol and/or other drugs).
        Her body is still on life support, but only in order to allow the doctors to determine, which of her organs are still in a condition to be donated to other people

        Let this be a lesson:
        Driving while being under the influence of drugs is a brain dead action, which may leave you brain dead in the end

              • Michael Gorbachev died at the age of 91

                At least he doesn't have to watch the downfall of the Russian State under Putin any further

                      Do you think that is really true? What about the Vilnius massacre in January 1991? What about his support for the annexation of Crimea in 2014? Gorbachev only looks good when compared to other Russian leaders. He does not look good when compared to what a leader should be.

                      I like world leaders who lower the odds of world ending events. I think your average Russia leader would have responded to Reagan's provocations and the Soviet Union's rapid decline by starting WW3, rather than Gorbachev's acceptance of the need for dissolution.

                      I do have to agree with this. Gorbachev certainly did lower the temperature. One does have to wonder what other real choices the USSR was facing at that time, but I am willing to give the benefit of the doubt on that point.

                  • RIP Gorbachev indeed

                    • Professor Frank Drake is dead ... he died on Friday at the age of 92
                      if anyone doesn't know ho he is ... he is the originator of the famous Drake-Equation with which you can estimate, how many technological advanced civilizations there are in the Milky Way

                      Frank Drake blazed the SETI trail and helped bring the broader hunt for alien life into the mainstream.


                      RIP Prof. Drake and thanks for your work

                      • It may be that Queen Elizabeths reign may be over soon.
                        Her health seems to have alarmingly declined and all important royal family members have traveled to Balmoral (where the Queen currently stays)

                        The Queen's four children and Prince William are now in Scotland to be with her - Prince Harry is also on his way.
