Post subject: Tributes: In Memory of KOBE BEAN BRYANT (Memorial at Staples on 2/24)
Shaquille O'Neal
There's no words to express the pain Im going through with this tragedy of loosing my neice Gigi & my brother @kobebryant I love u and u will be missed. My condolences goes out to the Bryant family and the families of the other passengers on board. IM SICK RIGHT NOW
Kobe was so much more than an athlete, he was a family man. That was what we had most in common. I would hug his children like they were my own and he would embrace my kids like they were his. His baby girl Gigi was born on the same day as my youngest daughter Me'Arah.
Derek Fisher
Struggling to process what is now a reality. Kobe's life after basketball was just beginning and his second act was going to be even greater. His legacy, Gigi's legacy both will live on forever!
Rick Fox
Kobe and Gianna may your souls and the souls of the others who were with you Rest In Peace. My condolences and prayers go out to Kobe's wife Vanessa, his daughters and the Bryant Family. I Love You Kobe and will miss you dearly.
Pau Gasol
Beyond devastated... my big brother... I can't, I just can't believe it
Lamar Odom
These picture are just the tip of the iceberg of our relationship. He taught me so many things in life that were necessary on and off the court. On the court he taught me how to carve out defenses and how to take my time. How to make winning my ultimate goal. Off the court he taught me to sign my own checks lol. Of course anyone who knows my story knows I've suffered a lot of loss but the only loss I can compare this to is when I lost my son. Even though our relationship wasn't father/son, it was more like him being a teacher and me being his brother. I'm glad I got to be the ying to your yang as far as the locker room was concerned. It was my pleasure. I couldn't even catch my breath today when I heard this news. I just knew if he was in a helicopter crash he would have been the one to survive. Somehow he would have jumped out and landed on his feet. I'm sitting here thinking about when we would be in practice scrimmaging and you would start the jump ball off with elbowing Sasha in the chest. Like dude it's 10:30 in the morning lol. You think watching him play was crazy, you gotta think in practice if you scored like 8-9 buckets throughout the practice you had a great practice. I've seen him knock off 13-14 in a row in practice!!!! I'm still waiting for the media to come out and say wrong report. No way God took my brother this early. I know I been through my own stuff in life with using drugs and not being good to myself. When I went through that Coma situation if God would have came to me and said we would take me and spare Kobe I would have rather that happened. In honor of my brother I'm up at 4am tomorrow to get to the gym! Gigi gone give you buckets!!!! I love you brother 💔🙏🏿😥 @kobebryant
Sasha Vujacic
Mio grande fratello,
Ti scrivo nella lingua che ci ha uniti in campo, la nostra lingua della pallacanestro.
Quando il mio sogno si è realizzato e il momento in cui ho saputo che il mio compagno di squadra sarebbe stato Kobe Bryant, la vita è cambiata in assoluto. Ti devo tutto ciò che ho imparato da te della pallacanestro. Mi hai insegnato come studiare il film di tutte le partite, come entrare nel sistema che ci ha fatto vincere insieme, come difendere (perché da Europeo ero pigro e la difesa prima di te era un opzione).
Sei sempre stato il mio grande fratello in campo, sin dall'inizio ci siamo spinti insieme oltre ogni limite, ogni giorno. L'obiettivo che avevamo nella nostra mente, pochi l'hanno capito.
Ce l'abbiamo fatta.
Mi ricordo il giorno quando è nata Gigi. 💔
Tragedia inspiegabile che ha portato via 9 vite. Triste, dispiaciuto e sotto shock totale. Non avrei voluto dirti addio così presto.
Dal cuore mando tutto l'amore e le preghiere di questo mondo alla tua famiglia, Vanessa e alle bimbe che proteggerete da sopra. 🙏
Metta World Peace
"The most important thing is to try and inspire people so that they can be great in whatever they want to do."
He lived those words...
RIP my brother
Gigi. Your dad was so great to me. Love you both
Josh Powell
Love you King. Learned a lot from you "On" and most definitely "Off" the court.....so much on my heart right now. I can't even find the words. #resteasyking
D'Angelo Russell
Watched you closer than ever man, learned more than I could in such a short time, asked you more questions than ever. True Role ModeI. I find myself hearing every bit of advice you ever gave me. #legendary #mambamentality
Julius Randle
Often times growing up ppl would ask me how are you from Dallas but a laker/Kobe fan. Funny story, but growing and spending time with my granny, we didn't have cable. Probably 6 or 7 channels to watch on tv and if it was one thing for certain, Kobe and the lakers would be playing on one of those few channels. Losing you and her recently just doesn't feel right to me. A lot doesn't add up. My mom put the ball in my hands, but you are the reason I fell in love with the game. Even as a little kid, anytime I watched you I could tell the difference between you and the competition. Not just with your skill, but your approach was different. How you played and the love you had for the game was obvious to me. From that point on all I ever wanted to do was be like you. You set the bar for me. You inspired me all throughout my childhood and adulthood. Fast forward to being drafted by the Lakers and having the chance to share the court with. Really made me realize how crazy life is. I watched your every move those years. How you worked, how you prepared, how much you cared. It was everything and more i thought it would be when I idolized you when I was young kid at my granny's house. Idol to teammate to mentor and everything else. Anytime I called you answered. Anytime I wanted to work you were available even though it was at 430/5am lol. I got a million stories I could tell. I'll cherish them and save em to tell lil man when he gets older. Long story long man you inspired me more than I probably ever really let you know. A lot of this stuff doesn't make sense and probably never will so I put that in Gods hands. Just know the mark you made here will live forever! You and baby girl GIGI rest easy. Prayers to Vanessa, Natalia, Bianka, Capri, and all families involved.
Love always big bro! KB8/24
Jordan Clarkson
lost for words, bro was more than a teammate.. my mentor, the homie, a superhero, my idol , big brother thankful for experiences we had, cherished every moment with you dawg long live KB.
Larry Nance Jr.
An absolute honor.. Rest In Peace Mamba
"It's the one thing you can control... You are responsible for how people remember you or don't. So don't take it lightly." -Kobe Bryant
Wayne Ellington
At a loss for words. RIP to my idol and his beautiful baby girl. Some things we will just never understand. Praying heavily for the Bryant family. My heart hurts
In 2014, when I was playing for the Lakers, my Pop got killed. Bean was there for me. His texts and advice motivated me to get back on the court when I was in a completely dark place
Carlos Boozer
Can't believe this... Struggling to find the words.. Thank you for everything you taught us big bro... We Love You Kobe... #RIP #MAMBA4EVER #HOLDAT 😢
Karl Malone
I am at a loss for words..Kobe and Gianna you will never be forgotten. What a blessing to see your impact you have had in this world, Kobe. Prayers for the Bryant family. Rest In Peace, little brother and Gigi..

My heart is broken for Kobe and his family. I'll never forget the battles but what I really admired was the father he was to his girls. Rest In Peace old friend with your angel Gianna 💔

Nick Young

I just seen you man and you was talking about the broke thumb story lol crazy ass didn't believe me but I tell everybody you was the first person to check up on me before surgery and after. I told him imma tell the story of him throwing my shoes in the trash next and he laughed
I can't believed that was our last time talking 💔 this (bleep) hurt
Brandon Bass
Glad I got a chance to hoop and have cool conversations with you. Rest In Peace! @kobebryant A true inspiration!
Ryan Kelly
At a loss for words...so blessed to have gotten a chance to play with a true legend of the game @kobebryant along my basketball journey. A dream come true. My heart is broken for the Bryant family. My deepest condolences. I'm holding my family close today. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Robert Sacre
My condolences to the Bryant family. This man has influenced so many people in this world and to know he's gone is hard. I'm just grateful and blessed to say I was in his presence for 4 years and what an impact he had R.I.P @kobebryant A god among men 🙏🏽

Devastated to hear the news on my friend @kobebryant passing. Prayers go out to his wife Vanessa and his children and the @Lakers family.
Dwight Howard
Truly lost for words. I was not expecting to wake up on the plane and hear the news. Brothers fight, argue even hate each other at times. But we never stop loving each other. I love you, WE love you. Thank you for inspiring the world in so many ways. People let's make sure we tell each other daily that we love each other. We never know what can happen in life. Let's appreciate life and each other while we are here. I'm damn shole gonna miss Kobe and Gigi sitting court side watching us this season. May you Rest In Peace Kobe and Gigi. This season is dedicated To Kobe . 💯💪🏾💛💜
LeBron James
I'm Not Ready but here I go. Man I sitting here trying to write something for this post but every time I try I begin crying again just thinking about you, niece Gigi and the friendship/bond/brotherhood we had! I literally just heard your voice Sunday morning before I left Philly to head back to LA. Didn't think for one bit in a million years that would be the last conversation we'd have. WTF!! I'm heartbroken and devastated my brother!! 😢😢😢😢💔. Man I love you big bro. My heart goes to Vanessa and the kids. I promise you I'll continue your legacy man! You mean so much to us all here especially #LakerNation💜💛 and it's my responsibility to put this (bleep) on my back and keep it going!! Please give me the strength from the heavens above and watch over me! I got US here! There's so much more I want to say but just can't right now because I can't get through it! Until we meet again my brother!! #Mamba4Life❤🙏🏾 #Gigi4Life❤🙏🏾
Magic Johnson
As I try to write this post, my mind is racing. I'm in disbelief and have been crying all morning over this devastating news that Kobe and his young daughter, Gigi have passed away in a helicopter crash. Cookie and I are heartbroken.
He gave his knowledge, time, and talent to tutor so many at the youth level, collegiate level, & NBA & WNBA players. Words can't express the impact that he had on the game of basketball. I know basketball fans all over the world will miss him, especially the City of Los Angeles.
Kobe and I shared so many special conversations about life and basketball. We had so much in common off the court. I used to love talking to him about Lakers basketball, being fathers and husbands and how much we loved Italy. I will miss those conversations and him so much.
Laker Nation, the game of basketball & our city, will never be the same without Kobe. Cookie & I are praying for Vanessa, his beautiful daughters Natalia, Bianka & Capri, as well as his parents Joe & Pam & his sisters. We will always be here for the Bryant family.
We love you forever. #8 #24🙏🏾❤
Jerry West
To have been such, particularly when Kobe was young, to be a part of his life and to watch his career grow, watch him grow, this is one of the most tragic days of my life. I know somewhere along the way I guess I'll come to grips with it.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
Most people will remember Kobe as the magnificent athlete who inspired a whole generation of basketball players. But I will always remember him as a man who was much more than an athlete.
James Worthy
#MambaForever 😢
Michael Cooper
Today we mourn the loss of a legend, one of the greatest basketball players to ever play this game has passed away along with his daughter Gianna. I have always respected Kobe not just as a player but has a friend and my one memorable moment in our relationship was I had the opportunity to work him out as a young player coming into the NBA. He was very tough and competitive and we went at it tooth and nail for an hour. And that's when I and the Lakers knew that he was a very special player. My thoughts and prayers go out to Vanessa and his daughters as well as his extended family. The city of Los Angeles and the Laker family has lost a legend and icon. His spirit will continue to shine brightly over Los Angels. Number 8/24 will never be forgotten and will always be in our hearts forever.
Anthony Davis
Man this is a tough one for me! You were the first guy to put me under your wing and show me the ins and outs of the league. Had so many great convos about so many things and I will cherish those moments forever. Love you forever, Bean! #RIPKobe #RIPGiGi 😔
Kyle Kuzma
Damn I've been messed up all day.......I grew up trying to be like you. I would watch YouTube highlights as a kid trying to mimic you (and I still do) I would go to the gym as a kid and shoot fade-aways for hours acting as if every shot I took was at the buzzer just like you. Then 3 years ago I became a laker. You became family & a mentor to me. As a young kid I would of done anything in the world to meet you and as a rookie I had my opportunity. A dinner. A dinner with my idol Kobe Bryant. Talking about basketball, life and business with you at that moment changed my life forever man. I'm teared up just trying to write this but Kobe thank you for being a brother to me. Anything I ever needed from you, was just a call away. Thank you for all the knowledge. Thank you for just being a friend. Your inner drive is something that will never be match. Heroes come and go but you my guy will truly last forever. OUT.
Alex Caruso
Hard to put into words.. such a tragic and shocking day.. RIP Mamba 🙏🏼
JaVale McGee
Rest in peace KOBE!
Troy Daniels
You made being an absolute killer on the court cool. You made being a dad cool. We all knew the basketball player you were. But you were more than that.! You were a proud father.. A role model to millions.!!! Also an unbelievable dad and husband.!!! I'm so sorry to your family.!!
Jason Kidd
You will be missed brother. My thoughts are with the Bryant family at this difficult time. RIP Kobe.
Carmelo Anthony
Probably the hardest game I ever had to play. I don't know... it was tough, it was tough. Honestly, knowing him the way that I know him, he would have wanted me to play. Our friendship & relationship was deeper than basketball.
Damn Bro!! 😥
I hate when I have so much to say, but I can't put any of it into words. The times I have the most to say are the times that I can't talk. I'm screaming inside but I can't be heard. YOU don't know how hard it is to try to pretend to smile when I have these clouds of emotions.
YOU just called me and told me you were coming to the game Friday and that you were proud of me and "regardless of anything, stay true to myself and STAYME7O"
We were just laughing about how hard YOU was working GiGi and her teammates and I told YOU they need a day off 😂😢
This pain is almost unbearable Champ! Why you bro? Why GiGi? Why leave Vanessa with this Sadness and Pain. WHY? This will never make sense to me.
I know I'm not suppose to question GODs Will. I know GOD doesn't make mistakes. It just seems like It always rains the hardest on those who deserve the sun.
There are moments in life when there's simply NO words to describe the pain within. This is one of them. YOU will continue to be Loved. YOU will be missed. YOU will forever be remembered. YOUR legacy will live on FOREVER. OUR FRIENDSHIP will never be forgotten.
I know YOU will be near, Even if I don't see YOU.
PEACE KING!!! "There Are No Goodbyes. Where Ever You'll be, You'll be in Our Hearts"
All Praise Due
Russell Westbrook
I've been stuck and not really knowing how to put all that I've been feeling into words over the past several days. I am devastated about the passing of Kobe & Gigi, on every level. I met Kobe when I was 16 at UCLA playing against him in a pick up game. He played like it was the NBA finals. From that point on, I decided that I wanted to emulate his Mamba mentality. At the time, there was no name for it, but I recognized in him what I always felt in myself. He became a friend, a brother, a mentor, a teacher, he defended me, he believed in me, and he taught me how to weather the storm. I can go on and on, but I want to thank you for being my idol, & inspiration. I will pray for you and your family everyday just as I do my own. I love you Kobe. My heart and prayers also go out to the other families involved in last weeks accident. #RIPKobe #RIPGigi
Giannis Antetokounmpo
REST IN PEACE KOBE. You were always my favorite to watch. You inspired me so much in the basketball world. You will be missed legend.🙏🏽😭
Mamba4Forever ❤🕊 Gigi4Forever❤🕊
Trae Young
This S*** can't be real... this the first moment I was able to meet Gianna Maria, she's been to only 3 games this year... 2 of them were mine... She told me I was her favorite player to watch🙏🏽 I can't believe this😢😭
Rest Easy Gigi❤
All the Lessons
All the Advice
Every word you ever told me...
Will stick with me forever
Thank You Kobe🙏🏽❤
That one was for you...
Rest Easy Kobe🐍
Donovan Mitchell
Jason Terry
Shared so many memories with you on and off the court. You were a kind soul that inspired all people from all walks of life. In your own words you said, "It's not about the destination but it's about the journey." You and your beautiful daughter will be missed but not forgotten. Also, prayers up to all the families of this tragic accident. #mamba #24 #8 #gigi
CJ McCollum
It was really hard. A lot of emotions. Kobe was my favorite player, and a guy I modeled my work ethic after. My heart goes out to his family...I know Kobe as a competitor would've wanted us to go out and play tonight.
Jamal Crawford
Whatever it was you did, football, basketball, soccer, acting, whatever. Kobe inspired you to be better...
Prayers to his family and all the families affected.. This hurt my heart.
Kobe has to be the new NBA logo.....
Karl Anthony-Towns
The news of your passing not only numbed my body, but everyone's around me. I grew up idolizing you and wanting to just have the chance to meet you. Never in my wildest dreams, did I think I would not only meet you but compete against you.
I remember being at Day Park in Piscataway with @viksingh__ recreating every single one of your game winning shots, practicing your fadeaway jump shot and mimicking all your moves.
I remember playing @nba2k with @viksingh__ on situation mode and just shooting game winning shots with #24. A huge part of my childhood and my being as a basketball player has left the world. The basketball world, society, and my world and it will all never be the same.
Rest In Peace to Kobe Bryant, his daughter Gigi, and everyone else involved in this tragedy. My prayers are with your families, loved ones, and anyone that feels affected as I do.
Scottie Pippen
Heartbroken to look back on this. Kobe and Gigi, you're both GOATs in my eyes and I know that one-on-ones like this will live on forever.
Kenny Smith
My deepest sympathy and prayers to the families including the Bryant family! You all will be missed ! We are all heartbroken
Adam Silver
The NBA family is devastated by the tragic passing of Kobe Bryant and his daughter, Gianna.
For 20 seasons, Kobe showed us what is possible when remarkable talent blends with an absolute devotion to winning. He was one of the most extraordinary players in the history of our game with accomplishments that are legendary: five NBA championships, an NBA MVP award, 18 NBA All-Star selections, and two Olympic gold medals. But he will be remembered most for inspiring people around the world to pick up a basketball and compete to the very best of their ability. He was generous with the wisdom he acquired and saw it as his mission to share it with future generations of players, taking special delight in passing down his love of the game to Gianna.
We send our heartfelt condolences to his wife, Vanessa, and their family, the Lakers organization and the entire sports world.
Michael Jordan
I am in shock over the tragic news of Kobe's and Gianna's passing. Words can't describe the pain I'm feeling. I loved Kobe – he was like a little brother to me. We used to talk often and I will miss those conversations very much. He was a fierce competitor, one of the greats of the game and a creative force. Kobe was also an amazing dad who loved his family deeply – and took great pride in his daughter's love for the game of basketball.
Bill Russell
Jeannine & I are absolutely shocked to hear of the loss of one of my favorite people & one of the best basketball minds in the history of the game! Our hearts & prayers to Vanessa & his girls. @kobebryant you were my biggest fan, but I was yours #RIPMAMBA @NBA @espn @SLAMonline
Mark Cuban
Damn. RIP Mamba. May your memory be a blessing
I hope we all remember that Kobe and Gianna have brought our country closer together than anyone has in a generation. Their memory truly is a blessing that we should build on.
Jay Williams
There's something so damn uplifting about him. It just made you want to be better in every aspect of your life. #RIPMamba
Darius Miles
We lost a legend and iconic Hero today. Thank you for creating a Mentality to help people be better in sports as well as in life. I just ask that god wraps his healing arms around all the families involved R.I.P Kobe +GiGi 💔
A great man
The bond between Kobe and Gigi was made stronger by basketball.
Greg Popavich
We all feel a deep sense of loss for what he meant to all of us in so many ways. And so many millions of people loved him for so many different reasons.
Ben Simmons
The world lost a legend today. Kobe Bryant was someone who I looked up to, a fierce competitor, a Champion, an icon. His dominance and relentless spirit translated both on and off the court. Your fans across the world loved you with such passion and you never let them down.
To lose both you and your daughter Gigi in this tragic accident has shaken me to my core. My thoughts and prayers are with the Bryant Family and his close Friends in this extremely hard time, I am truly sorry for your loss.
You were and will continue to be an inspiration to this world and drive people to follow their dreams with passion and conviction #MambaForever
Joel Embiid
Man I don't even know where to start😭😭 I started playing ball because of KOBE after watching the 2010 finals. I had never watched ball before that and that finals was the turning point of my life. I WANTED TO BE LIKE KOBE. I'm so FREAKING SAD right now!!!!
Jayson Tatum
Heart broken. My Hero. My Idol. The reason I started to play this game, the reason I fell in love with this game. Growing up wanting to be just like you, to you becoming a mentor, beyond thankful for everything you've done for me. "I didn't have a plan B I put all my eggs in one basket and I knew I was going to make it happen" hearing you say that stuck with me everyday of my life. You inspired me and I am forever grateful more than you know! Love you Bean 🙏🏽❤! Sad, sad, sad day RIP Kobe and Gianna! Praying for the family!
Luka Doncic
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 this is so sad! RIP💔💔💔

Dirk Nowitzki
Vince Carter
This is painful!!!
I've known this man since he was 15 & I was 16. AAU teammates to competing against him for 18 seasons in the NBA. We were literally talking in these pics how I will enjoy retirement and that we would have a convo soon on how to go through it. Also how happy...
he was being able to watch his girls grow up. We mentioned how we will do for our daughters to the best of our abilities and now you're headed to a better place on my bday smh. Rest up legend & Long Live "The Mamba" 🐍 🙏🏽
Many prayers to the Bryant family....
Bogdan Bogdanovic
I just lost my basketball father, there is no one that has impacted my game more than you Kobe... so sad and tragic. #restinpeace #8 #24
Chris Paul
I don't know if I'll ever be able to fully process it. My parents have always said everything happens for a reason and its in God's plan. But this one is different. Broken fingers, torn Achilles, it didn't matter. You overcame it all!! You were DIFFERENT! Sometimes we competed so hard against each other that you could never tell how I was always watching YOU!! I needed to see how much better I needed to get and how much harder I needed to work! The love you had for the game was nowhere near the love you had for YOUR girls!! All 5 of them!! And Gigi, who we had already prearranged her marriage with lil Chris, is as beautiful and feisty as she could ever be!!! As I've watched you in retirement, as happy as you've ever been, I've sat back and prayed and hoped that my baby girl will look at me the way Gigi looks at you!!! I Love You and will miss you with all my heart my brother!!! All my love to Vanessa and all the families during this time 🙏🏾 #Mamba4Life #Mambacita
Paul George
God please be with the families involved. Heal every broken heart and be there in there time of need! Still can't believe this 😢 I'm grateful to have someone like you to look up to growing up in Cali. You inspired me to play basketball and to dominate on both ends. You made it cool to play defense and bust someone's ass on offense. Thank you for taking me under your wing and being in my corner. Rest easy Kobe! 🙏🏾🙏🏾😢🐍
Austin Rivers
Hurting badly. True role model! Not just for being a goat, or being one of the most Competitive athletes to ever compete. Not just because you were iconic in every form and defined excellence in so many ways...but because of how great of a father you were as well. True Icon. KB24
Stephen Jackson
Real Tears for u bean. Glad I got a chance to say thank u for what u did for my son and was going to do for my boys. His last game hear in ATL he had 20 people waiting on him after the game @mettaworldpeace37 was bringing us to go in locker room as he was coming out. With all those people waiting he stopped and talk to my son for about 15mins. Meant the world to me and @stackyyyyyy Gone miss u Bean. Don't make em like u no more. They need to change @staplescenterla to Kobe Bryant Center. OnMe. Rest Easy @kobebryant

Shane Battier
I am so sad at the tragic news today. Kobe was such a huge part of my career and my basketball life as a measuring stick, as an adversary, as a role model of basketball greatness.
No one pushed me more. No one. I'm appreciative of our battles, Kobe, I am sad I will never get the chance to tell you that in person. RIP.
John Wall
I'm at a loss for words. Can't believe this is real. You will be missed. #RIP Kobe Bryant. Prayers for his wife, children and the individuals involved in this tragic incident.
Ernie Johnson
That moment on draft night feels as if it happened hours ago. It's simply a blink. What actually happened hours ago is so incredibly heartbreaking and surreal. Praying God's hand of comfort over the Bryant family.
Chris McGee
My littlest Lucca wrote a card for Kobe that she wanted me to bring to work.....my girls have grown up loving💜💛 #24.... they were born into it..... this note is pure ❤.. telling Kobe she love his 3 pointers, she really misses him & she has only worn 8 and 24 because of him
Speero Dedes
No words. My heart goes out to his wife and their four girls. All the families whose lives are shattered by this. Hard to process. #KobeBryant
Can't stop watching the news. It still doesn't seem real. What I admired most about Kobe went beyond his basketball greatness. He wasn't perfect. He was flawed just like the rest of us. But he owned up to his mistakes in life and became this amazing person and father.
I'll always cherish those 6 years, riding his coattails on the radio with MT. So many memories and little interactions. But mostly all I can think about are his girls. And all of the families whose lives will never be the same. Life is so fragile. #KobeBryant
Rachel Nichols
I remember the first time Kobe introduced me to his daughter Gigi, and the way he talks about her in this clip is exactly how he sounded then: so damn proud, full of so much possibility.
And she was her father's daughter, too. Already such a gamer.
Jim Rome
There have been other amazing athletes who have played here – other icons who have played here – but none of them were embraced by this city as much as Kobe. None of them embraced the city the way he did.
Barack Obama
Kobe was a legend on the court and just getting started in what would have been just as meaningful a second act. To lose Gianna is even more heartbreaking to us as parents. Michelle and I send love and prayers to Vanessa and the entire Bryant family on an unthinkable day.
Cody Bellinger
15 hours ago man… I actually cannot believe this. Praying for his family and close friends. Hoping it's not true
Naomi Osaka
I can't.
Candace Parker
This is one of those days everyone will remember where they were when we lost a legend. Kobe an amazing basketball player but even better husband, father, friend, MENTOR. It doesn't seem real. My thoughts and prayers go out to all the victims and families.
Sabrina Ionescu
Everything I do, I do it for him. He was a really close friend. And this season's for him.
Kanye West
Kobe, We love you brother
We're praying for your family and appreciate the life you've lived and all the inspiration you gave
Kim Kardashian West
My heart is so heavy. No one should ever experience what the families involved are going through. This has affected us all so much but I cannot begin to imagine what Vanessa is feeling losing her husband and her baby girl. I cry just thinking about it.
John Legend
I'm so sad and stunned right now. In Staples Arena, where Kobe created so many memories for all of us, preparing to pay tribute to another brilliant man we lost too soon, Nipsey Hussle. Life can be so brutal and senseless sometimes. Hold on to your loved ones. We miss you, Kobe
Jimmy Kimmel
He was great,charismatic & among the hardest-working athletes ever,but what impressed me most was how deeply-involved Kobe was with his 4 daughters. Pray for them, Vanessa, his parents & his fellow passengers' families on this sad and shocking day. We will never forget you Kobe
Ellen DeGeneres
Like everyone, I'm stunned and saddened by the news about Kobe Bryant. My heart is broken for his wife and family.

Today we @WaltDisneyCo mourn the tragic loss of @kobebryant...a giant in sports and a person so full of life. Terrible news and so hard to process....
Taylor Swift
My heart is in pieces hearing the news of this unimaginable tragedy. I can't fathom what the families are going through. Kobe meant so much to me and to us all. Sending my prayers, love, and endless condolences to Vanessa and the family and anyone who lost someone on that flight.
Chadwick Boseman
I'm heartbroken. Shocked. Husband, Father, Strategist, Philosopher-Poet, Warrior-Athlete, Filmmaker...your focus is magnetic, Kobe. My love goes out to you and your family.
Roman Reigns
I actually found out at Minute Maid Park right before The Rumble. Triple H received a text message and he showed it to me, and I just didn't believe it, to be honest. I'm a Lakers fan. I watched religiously throughout his career, and I've always just been a huge fan, massive respect.
I never really thought losing someone like that... he's a stranger, obviously a public figure, and I've seen him and watched him, but he didn't know me and I didn't truly know him, but I didn't realize it would affect me so much. It really did, on top of The Rumble just being an emotional roller coaster in its own right, it really just saddened me and broke my heart, obviously to hear the loss of Kobe, and then his daughter as well, GiGi, my heart just goes out to his wife, the three girls that were left behind, all the families that were involved, and the pilot and his family. It's just an abrupt lost, and I really feel like it shook the world.
I did not think it would affect me as much as it did. I legitimately think I cried. I got home last night, I flew home right after The Rumble. The first thing I did when I got in my house was went right to my daughter's room. She was asleep, she had no clue, but I hugged her for probably 3, 4, 5 minutes, and just teared up the whole time. You have to really be grateful and thankful, and take advantage of every second that we have here, and make sure your loved ones know they're loved, and if there's anything that you're holding within, try to forgive and forget, and move on. Mend any type of negativity that you have going on in your life because you just never know. Life is short and we just need to take advantage of every second we have. My heart and my condolences go out to all the families. It's just a very sad time.
Leonardo DiCaprio
Kobe was truly larger than life, a legend. May he and all those who lost their lives today rest in peace. Love and condolences to his family. LA will never be the same.
I love you Kobe

Statement from President Clinton and Secretary Clinton on the Passing of Kobe Bryant

Statement from President Clinton and Secretary Clinton on the Passing of Kobe Bryant
Hillary and I are deeply saddened by the tragic loss of Kobe Bryant, his daughter Gianna, and all those who died in today's helicopter crash. Kobe brought excitement and joy to basketball fans not just in Los Angeles, but all over the U.S. and around the world. He was also a leader off the court, including in his advocacy for young people, especially the vulnerable and homeless —
a passion I saw firsthand when I joined him and Vanessa for the opening of a housing project they and their foundation supported.
Kobe Bryant lived a very large life in a very short time. But above all, he loved his family. Our prayers are with Vanessa, Natalia, Bianka, and Capri, and all those who lost loved ones today.

It's not fate. It is a choice.
In truth, the physical AllSpark is but a shell to contain the incredible life-giving energies within; should that shell be destroyed the energies will remain as potent as ever merely waiting for a new vessel to inhabit.

Washington – A Tea Party plan to "cut, cap and balance" the nation's debt and budget deficit woes will hit the House of Representatives tomorrow.
In an appearance on "Fox News Sunday," Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Oh, told viewers that the plan will consist of an immediate $100 billion-plus cut from next year's budget, a $2.4 trillion increase in the debt limit and the adoption by Congress of a constitutional amendment to require a balanced budget.
Said Rep. Jordan, "Let's let the American people decide. Do they want something commonsense as cutting spending, capping the growth in government and requiring a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution?"

Be sure to follow my new Pintrest page, "Feature or Filler".
I love exploring plants that we normally think of as "just fillers", and seeing if they look different planted or used in mass or as features. I'd love to know your two cents!
My first one: Gypsophila, otherwise known as Baby's Breath. Gypsophila is a genus of flowering plants in the carnation family. Native to Eurasia, Africa, Australia and the Pacific Islands – this lovely little perennial is easily grown in most gardens during the Spring, Summer and Fall. Sometimes used as an herb, Gypsophila is mostly known for it's trendy use in floral design. I'm most interested in mass plantings in the garden or in pots – and seeing the large tufts of white sprays bloom through the landscape.
I say, Feature!

Be a Tree Hugger: Recycle Content!
By Shelly Bowen, Content Marketing Institute
Not all your content needs to start from scratch. Great content comes from a variety of resources — some of which you may already own! You will need to mix and match, edit and clip, rewrite and reinvent, but it's a huge jump ahead.
What's more, cleverly recycling or repurposing content and planning for repurposing through content strategy can save your company money.
Here are some ideas to help you start collecting bits and pieces for your exceptional content:
Offline Content
Dip into your own print materials. White papers, media kits, catalogs, books, instructional materials, notebooks, sketch pads, infographics—anything you have already created can be tweaked or reformatted into new content. Consider how you might repurpose these materials you have to make something new.
For example, your sales kit for your sales reps may have statistics and charts they use to back up claims about your offerings. Take these bits of information and imagine how you can repackage them for your online audience. Are they five surprising facts about running shoe wear? Or maybe you have seven great reasons to prepare in advance for an emergency?
You might also take a video your PR department uses and get everyone in the office to provide a "behind-the-scenes" insight on it.
Customer service
Have lunch with the head of your customer service team every quarter. He or she writes responses to and chats with your customers all the time. Use this material to create something useful online.
Whenever I interview customer service reps as part of a content strategy, I always learn of frequently asked questions they respond to with screen grabs and well-loved emails.
This information can be:
Edited and published as an FAQ or quick tips
Used to fix parts of your content that are confusing
Transformed into blog articles that focus on the aggregate issue at hand. For instance, cupcake customers would be thrilled to know that "78 percent of customers are repeatedly asking for the caramel apple cupcakes to
come back," wouldn't they?
Who is curating those awesome letters, comments, testimonials, quotes and chats from your own customers? Be proactive about collecting and asking for information from your audience about your product or service, and you'll soon have a wealth of relevant, real-world, SEO-rich content.
The best way to do this? Build it into your customer experience. Imagine—or better yet, map out—the most well-worn customer paths. For example: They enter at Point A, ask questions at Point B, buy at Point C, then they get an email to confirm (you get the picture). At appropriate moments that don't interrupt the buying process, ask for an opinion, a vote of approval or a review.
Social software like Bazaarvoice and Get Satisfaction can help if you have volume; a simple email box for feedback can work if you don't. Just be sure there's someone in charge of reviewing the content and transforming it into something useful for your customers.
Online archives
Evaluate your content—articles, blog posts, interviews—
that was popular at one time but has now been buried in your archives. Match up a rock star editor with a data analyst to discover and create new from old on a regular basis.
For example, a data analyst might see a spike in site searches for a certain topic—let's say optimal heart rate recovery times—during June of each year. A content manager or editor could collect heart health and exercise information you've already published and use it to create an article on "Eight Ways to Strengthen Your Heart," and feature it throughout your site and across social media at just the right time.
Or, more broadly, your data analyst might see that any content involving easing neck pain is instantly popular,
so your editor might be able to create a whole neck care email campaign based on content you've already
published over time.
Market Research
You do a lot of research for your own company. Take a look at the data with a different point of view: Would any of it be useful or interesting to your audience?
Take personas, for instance. Many companies—including Chrysler, Microsoft and Delta—create elaborate personas based on research to help them create their marketing campaigns or organize information on their site. Wouldn't it be fascinating as a customer to know which personalities often go with which products or suite of services? I haven't seen this done literally, but I keep waiting for the opportunity!
Keep in mind that repurposing content isn't about copying and pasting. It's about reinventing and evolving.

- H2 Rotisserie & Bar and H Tasting Lounge
- Location: 1601 Bayshore Dr., Westin Bayshore hotel
- City: Vancouver
- Phone: 604-682-3377
- Website: westinbayshore.com

- Prices: Whole chicken with two sides, $42; afternoon tea, $55 a person
- Additional info: H2 open daily from 6:30 a.m. to 11 p.m.; H Tasting Lounge open daily from 11:30 a.m. (noon on Saturday and Sunday) until late. Reservations accepted.
- Rating system: Casual dining
On March 14, 1972, Howard Hughes moved into Vancouver's Westin Bayshore hotel (then called the Bayshore Inn) and stayed for six months. The eccentric recluse took command of the top four floors but was never seen outside his three-room penthouse suite. He didn't once speak to hotel staff members, who were forbidden from even looking at him.
Perhaps the staff members now working at the Bayshore's new Hughes-inspired H Tasting Lounge have taken a page from that old training manual, because we've been sitting here for 10 minutes and cannot, for the life of us, get anyone's attention.
It's Friday, around 9 p.m. We wandered over to the hotel for cocktails after dinner at a nearby friend's place. It's a swanky art-deco room appointed with gold-brass screens, a central waterfall glass chandelier, marble tables and low-slung cube chairs upholstered in baby blue and dusty-rose velvet. There is a live jazz trio playing in the corner. The lights are dim.
It's a big space (155 seats) and about one-third full, but the servers don't seem particularly busy. So we sit and wait and stare at the servers who are doing absolutely nothing, hoping they might catch our thirsty glances. Finally, my friend walks over and asks for menus. The server takes her sweet time bringing them to the table. A confusing conversation about Clamato ensues. She walks away without taking our order. Fed up, we walk out and go next door to Cardero's.
The hotel's recent food and beverage reboot, which includes H Tasting Lounge and the more casual H2 Rotisserie & Bar (a multipurpose space that also serves as a takeout café), was designed for customers like us – locals, who may have forgotten how beautiful the property is, tucked against the Seawall with stunning views of Coal Harbour. Come summer, there will also be a new patio attached to the lounge. Both restaurants offer live music every night. Last month, the lounge launched afternoon tea. There are lots of new reasons to visit.
Unfortunately, the service is some of the most apathetic I've ever seen in this city. And until they tighten that up, it really doesn't matter how much gold leaf is applied to $20 cocktails; the Westin Bayshore will remain, in most people's minds, the kind of low-rent hotel that services graduation parties for high schools that have been banned from the Four Seasons.
"You can't drink that here! Get out!"
It's Saturday night, the following weekend, and a flustered concierge is shooing away a gaggle of young guests in cowboy hats and micro-miniskirts who are chugging vodka coolers beside a 1954 Porsche 356 Speedster parked in the lobby.
It's a weird, incongruous scene, the kind that might be expected when classic Hollywood glamour is mixed with wedding parties from Abbotsford – but nothing compared to what happens later.
H2 Rotisserie & Bar is about as plain as H Tasting Lounge is fancy. It's a standard cafeteria-style hotel restaurant with white tables, a long sideboard for the breakfast buffet, a cluttered service station beside the bar and high chairs for toddlers – of which there are several here tonight.
The dinner menu offers something for everyone – crab cakes, beef carpaccio, braised lamb shanks, maple-glazed salmon. The signature dish is rotisserie chicken. And it is excellent chicken – darkly spice-rubbed, golden-skinned and juicy throughout. Roasted fingerling potatoes are crispy yet plush. Fries are thick-cut and liberally showered in Maldon salt. Baby carrots glazed with honey are sweet and crunchy. Pan gravy is thick, smooth and deeply layered with good stock.
Our server is friendly and patient. The kitchen expeditor is also very cordial when we amble over to look at the rotisserie, which is actually just a display model. The big one is in the back, where the rest of the kitchen staff must be working, because this guy is all by himself. It actually seems strange that he's not doing anything, but the restaurant isn't very busy, only a quarter-full.
There is, however, a lineup of six people outside.
"Come back in 30 minutes," the manager tells them.
They look confused. "All those seats are empty," one says, pointing to the bar. "Can't we come in for a drink?"
"No, if you don't have a reservation, we cannot accommodate you," she says, all sweaty and panicky. "I don't have enough staff. We have too many big parties. The kitchen is overwhelmed. We have a very nice lobby lounge. You can go there for a drink."
Is she serious? She is.
Nobody heeds her advice and goes to the lobby lounge except us.
It's just as well they don't bother. In the lounge, it takes us approximately half an hour to get a drink.
There is so much booze in the brandy-flamed crêpes Suzette and baked Alaska that we don't even need the drinks. While the tableside desserts are a nice touch, they don't compensate for the style-over-substance cocktails. The House of Fabergé ($21), served in an ice egg cracked at the table, is watery. The throat-burning Alaska Cocktail No. 2 ($19), served with a hand-carved "iceberg," is clear and obviously missing its dash of Luxardo St. Antonio. It's pure gin.
Afternoon tea is a disaster. The server makes a big to-do about how we shouldn't actually be getting tea at 4 p.m., even though we had a reservation. (When we leave two hours later, she is still serving tea to new customers.)
Most of the food is edible but not great. A kung pao lobster roll has no lobster. Avocado spread and smoked salmon are brown. The pastries are dry. The bao buns are gummy. The cakes are stale. And by the time the tiered trays and bento-style boxes arrive, we have already finished a glass of champagne and two glasses of tea.
The tea service itself is a joke. The measurements are off, and it's served in French presses, which scratch the delicate leaves and scorch the flavour. When we ask for hot water, the server pours it directly into the bitter pots.
Could we just have a Thermos on the side, so we can adjust to our liking? No, we cannot. The silver canisters "don't look very nice on the table."
Uh, and the plastic-handled Bodums are somehow more elegant?
By the end of the afternoon, I want to run out screaming. Maybe Mr. Hughes was on to something: Interaction with service staff, at least at the Westin Bayshore, is painful.

Iranian judge summons Facebook CEO for breach of privacy
A conservative Iranian court opened a case against instant messaging services WhatsApp and Instagram while also summoning Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg over complaints of privacy violation, state news agency ISNA reported.
The case underscores the growing struggle between moderate Iranian president Hassan Rouhani's drive to increase Internet freedoms and demands by the conservative judiciary for tighter controls. The Iranian court in the southern province of Fars opened the cases against the social networks after citizens complained of breaches of privacy.
"According to the court's ruling, the Zionist director of the company of Facebook, or his official attorney must appear in court to defend himself and pay for possible losses," said Ruhollah Momen-Nasab, an Iranian Internet official, according to state news agency ISNA, referring to Zuckerberg's Jewish background. Zuckerberg, whose company owns WhatsApp and Instagram, is unlikely to heed the summons.

Complaints Against Vets Are Increasing: Veterinarian Professional License Defense
Most veterinarians get into the business because they like animals and enjoy supporting the human-animal bond that exists between pets and their owners. They begin their practice believing that they'll never have to defend their license to practice veterinary medicine before their state Veterinary Medical Board (VMB). Unfortunately, because the relationship between people and their… Read more »

For this exercise, we were asked to read the article "Online Exhibitions" on the We Are OCA website and watch "Looking at the Land" by Andy Adams. We then had to make any notes or comments we had on the piece.
Thoughts after watching
After reading the article and then watching the "exhibition", I noted a number of things that I have listed below
- By viewing the exhibition online, the viewer is 'forced' to look at images they might otherwise miss or dismiss. This therefore allows the viewer the opportunity to see the whole exhibition and gives them a better understanding of why the images have been chosen and their overall contribution.
- Unlike others who have watched this, I feel that Adams should have used some music if only something quite light such as piano music. this could help the viewer to relax into what they are seeing and add to the intimate feel of watching an exhibition in this way.
- Further to my point about it being intimate, I felt when watching it had been created just for me, I could watch it how I wanted and when I wanted. This added to my interest
- I liked how Adams kept the layout simple so the view was fixed in one position but there was also the photographers name, the title of the piece, the date etc like there would be in a gallery for those who wish to see it. The pace between images was also appropriate as it allowed just the right amount of time to view each image.
- Lastly I liked how each image was shown as equal to each other. Quite often in galleries the images are different sizes and the larger ones attract the most attention. By keeping them all the same size, it allows the viewer to decide of their own favourites. They are also all given the same viewing time.

text: After extensive reading on many tire related threads, I came to the conclusion, that the AMS Swamp Fox, 23x8x12 might be a good choice for my mostly off-road, ranch use, 1999 Suzuki Carry. There were many mini truck users, who claimed satisfaction with these tires, so I took advantage of a super deal on a set of new ones. Upon looking them over, I find out they're rated at 280lbs. max load. My question is....how in the heck are these suitable for a 1600lb. (empty weight) mini? I guess we'll see, because I own them, so we're going to put them to the test on my mini dump. Any input is highly welcomed, especially, from folks who have experience with Swamp Fox tires!

#FuelPriceHike: Top 10 real-world hacks for saving petrol
Johannesburg - Coming on top of June's massive fuel price hike, this morning's further increase of 26 cents a litre is going to hurt, no matter what you drive.
But according to the US Department of Energy, driving smart - consistently, all the time - can reduce your car's fuel consumption by as much as 40 percent. For the average commuter, that means filling up three times a month instead of four, and that's serious money at today's fuel prices!
"People often underestimate the impact that their driving habits have on fuel consumption," said Budget Insurance marketing manager Susan Steward, "but minor tweaks can help protect your pocket at the pump."
There's a lot of hype around smart driving, and some of things the so-called 'experts' advocate are either impractical or enormously frustrating - but here are Steward's 10 most practical real-world fuel saving hacks:
1 Align and inflate - Incorrect wheel alignment and under-inflated tyres cause increased resistance between the tyres and the road, leading to higher fuel consumption and increased tyre wear. Check your tyre pressures at least once a month, and wheel alignment at least once a year - every six months is better, or after hitting something solid like a pothole or a kerb.
2 Smooth and steady - Every time you accelerate hard you turn lots of fuel into momentum, and every time you brake hard you waste that momentum as heat from your car's brakes. Avoid 'Stoplight Grand Prix' starts and keep a safe following distance so you don't have to brake harshly when the car ahead of you does.
3 Squash the need for speed - High speed means high fuel consumption - it's as simple as that. Your car uses as much as 25 percent more fuel at 110km/h than cruising at a more relaxed 90km/h. And it's even worse for motorcycles - a Harley-Davidson on a 2700km test ride by IOL Motoring in 2015 used twice as much petrol at 140km/h as it did at 70km/h - that's literally double the cost for double the speed!
4 Hook it up a gear – Generally, the higher the gear, the lower the fuel consumption, so always drive in the highest gear possible without straining the engine by letting the revs drop too low.
5 Don't be a drag – There are many things that cause or increase drag, including: driving with the windows open and attaching carriers or bicycles to the roof. Keep the windows closed, especially at high speeds, and tow a trailer rather than piling the extra stuff on the roof.
6 Control the climate - Your car's air-con compressor is more of a drag on the engine when the car is running slowly and actually causes the engine to use extra fuel at low revs, which is where you're trying to drive to save fuel! If you're driving at less than 80km/h, compressor drag is worse than air-resistance, so switch off the canned air and open a window!
7 Give you car a health check - Modern engines are astonishingly efficient, but to stay that way everything needs to run clean and smooth. Dirty oil and air filters, dirty fuel-injectors and catalysers, and worn spark plugs will all cause your car to slurp more fuel in order to provide a given output.
8 Keep your cool - Low coolant levels will make your car run rich to protect the moving parts from excess heat - a very expensive answer to a question that shouldn't need to be asked.
9 Be patient and work smart - Rather than burn fuel standing still in stop-go traffic, use navigation apps such as Waze to find a smooth-flowing route to work, with as few stops and starts as possible, even if the overall distance is slightly further.
10 Hit the button and go - Low-viscosity oils and precise fuel-injection allow today's cars to be driven (gently) within a few seconds after the oil warning light goes out; there's no need to let the car sit idling in driveway to 'warm up' - it's a real waste of fuel.

People-centered land governance was the main topic of the National Engagement Strategy Workshop, which took place on 23 November 2017 in Chisinau. The event was organized by NGO BIOS in partnership with International Land Coalition (ILC).
50 people attended the NES Workshop. Among the participants were farmers, representatives of the National Farmer Federation of Moldova, local and districts public administration, Ministry of Agriculture, Regional Development and Environment, Agency for Land Relations and Cadastre, State Ecological Inspectorate, CPIU-IFAD, Small Business Association of Moldova, research institutes in the field of soil, forests and economy; the private sector, the public associations, Water Users Associations for Irrigation and the media.
Ms. Anna Moldovan, NGO BIOS Program Coordinator and Valentin Ciubotaru, Executive Director of BIOS Association, presented the draft of following documents: Country Assesment of people-centered land governance in Moldova, the National Engagement Strategy (NES) and the Action Plan for NES implementation, 2018-2021. Ms. Albora Kaçani, NESI Facilitator in Albania, presented the experience of NES formulation and implementation in Albania.
What is NES?
NES an approach promoted by the International Land Coalition (ILC) at country level, in order to create the conditions for policy changes that promote inclusive, people-centered land governance. NES is developed by ILC members in a country with other relevant actors to develop a framework for identifying the main priority areas where the actors involved see opportunities to catalyze change, either at policy formulation or at the level of implementation the existing policies. ATheNES process aims to facilitate a collaborative and coordinated action among the various stakeholders involved in land related issues at national level to promote peoplecentered
land governance. Through these processes of NES formulation and implementation, national civil society actors are increasingly gaining the opportunity to collaborate with each other and with international actors, both overnmental and non-governmental, as well as to solve problems with the local and central public administration.
NES The Republic of Moldova
The team that prepared the respective documents and the stakeholders they consulted concluded that possible areas of intervention would be best identified by establishing regular dialogues on agricultural land, pasture, forests, forest belts, ponds, natural resources among key stakeholders at national level in order to solve land ownership issues, management of commons, integration of environmental issues into community development plans based on pilot communities, development of problemsolving guidelines based on international and local experience, creating a unified database; lobbying and promoting the improvement of the legal framework for land issues through active participation of the population in decision-making, public hearings on agriculture, communal forests and pastures, dissemination of good practices throughout the country, etc.
A multi-stakeholder platform on land governance for policy dialogue and knowledge sharing was set-up at the NES Workshop, NES Steering Committee was elected, which will approve the discussed documents after including the comments of the members of the Platform. The National Platform brings together all stakeholders to solve problems related to agricultural land, forests, meadows, waters, natural resources, so that land governance is in line with international agreements to which the Republic of Moldova is part of. Thus, the National Platform implies the involvement of key actors - who unite and build the foundation of a common strategy based on the complementarity of their capacities and their
reciprocity. The establishment of a multi-stakeholder national platform speeds up the likelihood of achieving results, increases the efficiency and effectiveness of action, and provides a constructive space for action where more activities can be coordinated.
Ms. Anna Moldovan was selected as the NES Platform Facilitator in Moldova. Any governmental, nongovernmental, academic or private sector organizations or institutions, the media, IGOs, INGOs working in these fields and willing to contribute to addressing the issues listed above, are invited to join the Platform so that each of us can jointly contribute to solving the issues in the field is requested to contact the National Platform Facilitator at: firstname.lastname@example.com or email@example.com, telephone (+373-22) 545733 and (+373) 67181990 for further information.

Serious brain injury can affect patients physically, mentally, and emotionally. But for teen victims, especially girls, it can even change their behavior.
A recent blog post warned parents to watch out for concussions on the field and behind the wheel because those injuries can cause developmental delays in children. Now researchers have analyzed the 2011 Ontario Student Drug Use and Health Survey by the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) and found that brain injury can also increase the risk that teens will engage in harmful behaviors.
The study surveyed 9,300 students in grades 7 through 12, asking them whether they had engaged in 13 different harmful behaviors including alcohol use, drug use, suicidal thoughts, and other behaviors. Teens with a history of serious traumatic brain injury – including a loss of consciousness for at least 5 minutes or at least one night in the hospital – were more likely to engage in those behaviors than teens without injuries.
What surprised the researchers most was the gender difference: boys were at higher risk for 9 behaviors, but girls increased their risk in all 13 categories. Girls were more likely than boys to smoke cigarettes, be bullied, contemplate suicide, or feel psychological distress.
The lead author, Dr. Gabriela Ilie, a neuropsychologist at St. Michael's Hospital in Toronto, believes the difference may be because of biological factors like hormones, and gender-specific socialization. She believes the explanation is probably "a variety of interactive factors, both biological and social."
The risk was also greater in the late teens as compared to mid-teen years – where there was a 20% increase in alcohol use among TBI-affected girls. Dr. Robert Mann, a senior scientist at CAMH said:
"We are seeing important links of adolescent TBI with both substance use and mental health problems and this combination of factors is something to watch, as it may have a serious negative impact on these young people."
Parents are urged to take any head injury seriously. "we need to stop turning a blind eye to those injuries. Brain injuries are something that we must look at and treat short- and long-term," Dr. Ilie said. If your kid suffers a blow to the head he or she should be assessed by a doctor immediately and head-injury specialists should monitor the head trauma for long-term symptoms. Early detection and treatment can help minimize the long-term affect of brain injury and speed recovery.
David Christensen is a brain injury expert at Christensen Law in Southfield, Michigan. He and his team can help the victims of automobile accidents resulting in brain injuries to get their medical expenses and treatments paid for under the No-Fault Insurance Act.
