(Reporting by Camille Drummond) Bonds Funds News ETFs News. Russell Westbrook, a gifted guard out of UCLA, projected to go 10-15 in last Thursday’s NBA Draft, went to the Seattle Sonics at a shocking fourth overall.Mighty PG out of Memphis, Derrick Rose, went first overall to the spectacular Chi-Town Bulls, no surprise. Considering they already have three talented other guards in Kirk Hinrich, Larry Hughes, and Ben Gordon, it made me think: why Derrick Rose over equally-talented Michael Beasley?Are they going to trade Gordon and keep just the three? Trading Hughes could definitely be another possibility as well. Just a wonderous selection by the Bulls.Lefty power forward Michael Beasley went behind Rose at number two overall to the Miami Heat.
I really think that this selection can improve the Heat’s record for 2009. Just think; Jason Williams PG, Dwayne Wade SG, Shawn Marion SF, and Michael Beasley PF? This rotation is absolutley lethal.O.J. Mayo and Kevin Love were selected third and fifth overall by the T’Wolves and Grizzlies. Later on, they were traded for each other and both teams were granted their wish.Kevin Love is the new forward for the T’Wolves, and now PG O.J. Mayo can go along in a dangerous combination of guards with third year player SF Rudy Gay.Forward Danilo Gallinari from Italy was “booed” several times from his new home with New York. New York really doesn’t really need another forward but there are two possible reasons why the Knicks made this choice.1 Gallinari put up decent numbers in Italy2. Coach Mike D’Antoni played pro basketball with his father in The Big Apple and that he may have inherited some skills from him. .

While there is no cure for the disease, THE ALZHEIMER’S PROJECT shows there is now genuine reason to be optimistic about the future.

This Friday marks not only the joyous time of the year that us Americans celebrate our independence from the tyranny and tea tax those lonely Brit’s put upon us, but it also marks that time of year where men of all race, size, and endurance come together in all their might for a…ready for this? Hot dog eating contest. An American pastime that has, in recent years has been of this brink of respectability, most notably for a 95 lb.
Godzilla who can pound down 50 hot dogs.I will agree, there isn’t much better things than waking up on the Fourth of July, not to see fireworks, not to see parades, Veterans, or family, but to see a bunch of fat overweight men, who pride themselves on becoming bigger slobs than they already are for their five minutes of fame. What a scam.It’s great for Coney Island. It’s great for Nathans’ wieners, but are you really going to look me in the eye and say this barbaric event is a sport?Kudos to those who actually had to get up at 6 a.m for practices while growing up. To those whose dads pushed them to the brink of tears for striking out. To those who might have had to put their-selves through a spec of endurance, training, and actually gave a crap about their own well-being.You got to be kidding me.The tale of sports has heroes come and go. There is a magic moment of pride in one’s favorite team, favorite player, or heck, even favorite logo. Here, what do we have? A favorite man-beast?Don’t get me wrong, I will probably indulge in the ESPN bona-fide coverage of this contest, but I will never take a second to think that what these repulsive men are doing is in any way more than a 10 minute feast, where they are lost in translation of countless amount of grub they don’t have to pay for.The only loser here is the wiener…A Nathan wiener that is. .
