Ron Artest goes to LA Lakers to join Kobe Bryant. Artest, whose versatility and toughness have made him one of the most coveted and combustible players in the NBA. Artest was instrumental in helping the Rockets take the eventual champion Lakers to seven games during the Western Conference semifinals.
“I’m definitely going to L.A. — to sign, yeah. Lakers, Lakers, Lakers. I’m in L.A. right now. I don’t really care about the money,” Artest said. “I’ll play there for nothing. … L.A. was very interested in me, and they got me.”
This should be very interesting to watch this year.
A 12 foot Burmese Python who broke out from its aquarium killed a 2 year old baby in her bedroom Wednesday at a central Florida home. The two year-old girl was already dead when deputies arrived on the scene.
Charles Jason Darnell, the boyfriend of the little girl (Shaiunna’s) mother, said he woke up and saw the Burmese python was not in its aquarium. He went to the child’s room and found the snake wrapped around the little girl in her crib.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission initiated an investigation into how the snake killed baby Shaiunna. Reports indicate that Darnell did not have a permit for the python snake which is required by state law as a Burmese Python is classified as a Reptile of Concern.
I just hope that it serves as a wakeup call for anyone that owns, or is thinking about owning a potentially dangerous snake. Please do your research and take the responsibility seriously. If you know a pet may be dangerous in certain situations, then you as an owner have the duty to take all the reasonable steps you can to make sure that situation does not happen.
