Pablo Prigioni Wins Game 2 For Knicks

With 4:15 remaining in the third quarter, Indiana Pacers took their first lead in game 2 of their second round playoffs against the New York Knicks. Up until that point, the Knicks controlled the game, at one point leading by as much as 13 points. But with pain and grimacing looks on his face, Carmelo Anthony managed to score a few baskets, even a dunk, igniting the rest of his team to follow-suit.With baskets from Smith, Kenyon Martin and Chandler, Knicks ended the quarter on a 10-2 run, to start the fourth quarter leading 72-66.

Pablo Prigioni started the fourth for Carmelo, bringing some much needed energy and defense. He also brought scoring, hitting a three pointer the first time he touched the ball and then a running field goal on the Knicks next possession. The Garden erupted, bringing a decibel level not heard much in the entire game. Prigioni was all over the place, getting rebounds in the paint, bringing up the ball and finding Carmelo on the three point line for a well needed three pointer. The Pacers resorted to being spectators as Melo and the gang went on a 20-0 run, extending the lead to 90 – 66.

With 4:55 remaining in the game, the Knicks brought on the Bench players. Being up 24 points with under 5 minutes remaining is a pretty good place to be, and Melo the rest of the team heard the cheers from the fans for a job well done.

The final score was Knicks 105, Pacers 79.

Pablo Prigioni was definitely the reason the Knicks won this game. He played a total of 21 minutes, but scored the biggest 10 points of the game. He also had 4 rebounds with 1 assist.

Knicks were led by Carmelo with 32 points, followed by Shumpert with 15. Felton had 14, followed by Prigioni and Martin both with 10.

For Indiana, P. George led the way with 20 points, followed by D. West who contributed 13. Hill was the only other Pacer player in double figure with 12 points. Indiana scored only 13 points in the fourth quarter.

Game 3 would be in Indiana on Saturday.

New Child Molestation Claim Against Michael Jackson

Michael Jackson has been posthumously accused of molesting a now-famous choreographer who spent lots of time with the singer at the Neverland Ranch … TMZ has learned.TMZ has obtained legal docs … filed by Wade Robson … in which he’s asking for money from the Michael Jackson Estate for childhood sexual abuse.

Robson — now 30 years old — has worked with top names in pop music including Britney Spears, *NSYNC, Usher and Pink.

Wade met Michael when he was 5 years old and they developed a friendship that lasted for years.  By the time Wade was 7, he went for sleepovers at Neverland and MJ’s homes in L.A. and Vegas.  The sleepovers continued until Wade was 14.

In 2005, Wade testified in MJ’s molestation trial and DENIED Michael ever molested him.

Wade’s lawyer filed legal docs May 1 asking the judge in the Michael Jackson Estate case to allow him to file a late creditor’s claim against the Estate.  In the documents, Wade’s lawyer says he submitted a never-before filed complaint “for childhood sexual abuse.”

Wade’s lawyer has filed the actual complaint under seal — which means it’s not available to the public.  Sources tell TMZ … the complaint specifically outlines the alleged abuse at the hands of Michael Jackson.

Wade’s lawyer also mentions a psychiatrist who treated Wade — the doctor is a leader in the field of child psychology.

Interestingly … in the 2005 molestation trial, Jackson’s former housekeeper, Blanca Francia, testified she witnessed Jackson in the shower with Wade when the boy was 8 or 9 years old.

Charles Ramsey: “I knew something was wrong when a little pretty white girl ran into a black man’s arms”

“Bro, I knew something was wrong when a little pretty white girl ran into a black man’s arms.” That is the now famous comment by Charles Ramsey, as he explained how he helped rescue three young women who were captive for 10 years.

“Something is wrong here. Dead give away, dead give away! Dead give away, because either she’s homeless or she’s got problems because that’s the only reason she run to a black man.”

Ramsey explained that he was eating his McDonalds on Monday when all hell broke loose.

“I’m eating my McDonalds. I come outside and I see this girl going nuts trying to get out of her house so I go on the porch and she says, ‘Help me get out, I’ve been in here a long time.'”

Charles goes on to say that his neighbor, Ariel Castro, seemed like a normal guy. “There’s nothing exciting about him” Ramsey said. “I barbecue with this dude. We eat ribs and what not, and listen to salsa music. See where I’m coming from?”

Ramsey thought what his neighbor did by keeping all these women against their will took some real kahunas, or to use his words, “you got some big testicles to pull this off.”

Three brothers were taken into custody for keeping the women hostage.

Homeless Prostitutes Killed john, Stole His Car for Shelter

Ashlee Gurule
Ashlee Gurule – allegedly used Pillow to suffocate and stabbed victim

Two young, homeless hookers from New Mexico stabbed a man to death so they could use his car as shelter, police said.

Jennifer McKee, 18, and Ashlee Gurule, 20, allegedly tortured, stabbed and then suffocated Maurice Gonzales, 51, at his Albuquerque home on Friday morning.

They told cops they were “tired of being homeless” and decided they needed a car.

Dumping his lifeless body in the trunk, they then stole his silver Dodge Avenger and drove around looking for somewhere to dispose of his corpse.

Jennifer McKee – Allegedly held victim’s legs while Ashlee killed him.

But the pair — who cops believe were selling sex to the victim — were busted after a high-speed 100mph chase ended in them crashing the vehicle.

Both have been charged with murder.

A criminal complaint, obtained by KRQE , claims Gurule stabbed Gonzales in the neck and chest as McKee held down his legs.

He allegedly begged for his life, offering to give them anything from his apartment if they spared him. But Gurule reportedly then used a pillow to suffocate him.

A third suspect, 16-year-old Julia Martinez, was also in the car during the chase. She now faces a conspiracy charge.

Child Abuse Hotline Ad Uses Photographic Trick That Makes It Visible Only To Children

How can organizations aimed at putting an end to child abuse send a message to children without also tipping off adults? It might be as simple as creating an ad that only children can see.

A Spanish organization called Fundación ANAR, or Aid to Children and Adolescents at Risk, created a bus-stop advertisement in April that features the group’s hotline number for children to report abuse. But by using a process called lenticular photography, the company made the hotline number, and much of the ad’s content, visible only to those under a certain height — presumably children.

Lenticular photography allows companies to create an image in a way that lets viewers see one of several different photos, depending on where they’re standing. In the case of ANAR’s ad, anyone taller than 4 feet 5 inches — the average height of a 10-year-old, according to the group — would see a picture of a boy with an unmarked face and the following message: “Sometimes, child abuse is only visible to the child suffering it.” Anyone under that height would see an image of the boy with a bruised face, the organization’s hotline number (116-111) in white text, and the message, “If somebody hurts you, phone us and we’ll help you.”

Evidence suggests that in the U.S., it’s a difficult task to get more abused children to contact authorities. According to the Fourth National Incidence Study of Child Abuse and Neglect, the majority of reports of child abuse come from “mandated reporters,” those in professions required by law to report signs of abuse if they see them.

But the campaign has succeeded in spreading awareness, which is what its creators wanted most. The YouTube video for the company’s ad campaign says, “thanks to the publicity on media and all the comments on social networks, the campaign has achieved its main objective: Raise awareness of the Foundation and [its] phone number 116-111 for children and teenagers at risk.”

Three Cleveland Women Missing Almost a Decade Found Alive

Three young women who vanished a decade ago near their homes in Cleveland were found only miles from where they disappeared, and three brothers have been arrested in relation to the incident, according to police.

Gina DeJesus, Amanda Berry and Michele Knight were found alive, and Cleveland Police Commander Keith Sulver said all three women were getting medical treatment but seemed to be in good condition.

“All of them are doing well. They all look good,” he said. “They’re all talking. They’re aware of everything that’s going on, and we’re just very happy that they’re safe and in good condition.”

Dr. Gerald Maloney with Metro Health Medical Center said tonight that the women were safe and that the hospital was evaluating their medical needs, and how long they’ll stay. The spokesman confirmed that the women are in fair condition at the moment.

“This isn’t the ending we usually get,” Maloney said. “We’re very happy, very happy.”

The victims are being examined for possible abuse at the hospital, law enforcement sources told ABC News.

Police confirmed to ABC News affiliate WEWS that one of the men taken into custody is 52-year-old Ariel Castro. Police have not released the names of Castro’s brother but said they were 50 and 54 years old. Chargers were expected to come within the next 36 hours.

Police have not said how the women were found, but neighbors said they heard cries for help coming from a house, and when they went to investigate kicked open the door of the home to get the women out.

Neighbor Charles Ramsey said that he was eating at McDonald’s when he heard a girl screaming.

Music tax evasion

Lauryn Hill Headed To Prison For Tax Evasion

Despite paying over $900,000 in back taxes, a judge today found the entertainer guilty of tax evasion and ordered her to prison. Hill’s sentencing could be as much as three months.

“I am a child of former slaves who had a system imposed on them,” Lauryn told  U.S. Magistrate Madeline Cox Arleo. “I had an economic system imposed on me.”

Hill, who earned about $2.3 million between 2005 and 2009, failed to pay the appropriate taxes on those earnings. She repaid up to $900,000 in recent days, but still owes interests and fees on the original amount.

Hill stated that greed in the music industry caused her to leave the industry to protect her family.

There were veiled threats, there was blacklisting. I was told, ‘That’s how it goes, it comes with the territory.’ I came to be perceived as a cash cow and not a person. When people capitalize on a persona, they forget there is a person in there.”

Yahoo reports that Hill will still pay $60,000 in fees after serving her 3 months in jail. After she is released, she would also spend her first three months under home confinement, followed by nine months of supervised parole.

Is It The End Of The Road For The Rush Limbaugh Hate Machine?

If this is the case, it’s way past due. This blowhard should have been dumped a long time ago. But it is reassuring to see advertisers doing the right thing and pulling their ads from his show.

As we reported earlier this morning, Rush Limbaugh is allegedly in the midst of a battle with Cumulus Media, the distributor of his radio show. The company’s CEO has blamed ad revenue losses on the conservative talkers’ controversial 2012 “slut” comments about Georgetown student Sandra Fluke.

Mediaite’s own sources confirm that the ad troubles in connection with Limbaugh’s show are, indeed, severe. In fact, one source within the radio advertising world with direct knowledge of the ad buys on Limbaugh’s show confirms the extent of the problem: “The vast majority of national advertisers now refuse to air their ads during Rush Limbaugh’s show,” our source tells us.

Limbaugh is reportedly considering a departure from Cumulus (or vice versa) after Cumulus CEO Lew Dickey‘s public comments that the Fluke incident is “still causing problems” with potential ad buyers. Limbaugh currently hosts the number-one most-listened-to radio show in the United States, and his departure would present a huge shake-up for the radio business.

But then again, Limbaugh is making millions for the lies he is telling. Lying is what he knows. Chances are, if he part ways with Cumulus, he will most likely find another media to continue misguiding his followers.

March of the Cicadas

They’re Baaacckk!

If you live on the East Coast and haven’t heard yet, we are in for a(un)pleasant visit from a swarm of cicadas (Brood II) who have spent a lengthy amount of time (17 years to be exact) underground developing and preparing for this upcoming swarm.

The million cicadas march will begin their travels this May starting from as far down as Georgia and stretching as far north as New York and Connecticut.

Residents in the Washington DC area, Philadelphia, and New York should begin seeing these diligent insects sometime around June.

Even though they have spent an insurmountable time underground, the cicadas lifespan as an adult above ground only lasts for 2-3 weeks and only the strong will survive the entire trip.

You’ll know that they’ve arrived once you hear that recognizable loud buzzing sound that will surely be amplified due to the incredible size of this swarm.

Cicada means tree cricket, so while they are no threat to humans, they can leave a most damaging effect on various small to larger trees. Using a pest netting to cover smaller trees/bushes and applying aluminum foil to tree trunks can help minimize damage.
