| Joggers Hit by Car Win $50M Settlement
(AP) COSTA MESA, Calif. - Stacy Neria used to run six miles a day, six days a week _ but she never trained on Sundays out of deference to her husband and to God. Now, Neria relies heavily on her husband and faith as she struggles to push forward after a hit-and-run accident left her with brain damage and paralyzed from the neck down. The 35-year-old mother of three was jogging with three other women on April 8, 2006, when she was struck by a car from behind. Her friend, avid runner and mother Carol Daniel, 42, was paralyzed as well, but did not suffer brain damage. The women and their husbands held a news conference Wednesday to discuss a settlement of about $50 million they received this week from the city of Dana Point. Their attorney argued that the bike lane they were running in was poorly marked and far too wide, leading motorists to believe it was another driving lane.

Give the bench guys a chance to play and see who will step up defensively at the end of games. .

Hip-Hop Rumors: Why is Barack Obama Smiling?
We want people to start taking Hip Hop seriously, but we want to continue to act like children. We respect our hand full of multi-millionaires in this business like they are demi-gods, when most of them do nothing remotely powerful with their money from a socioeconomic point of view. If it were not for Russell Simmons trying to create a Hip Hop lobby nobody would be doing anything except talking about their pimp cups. That's what I think. .
