Selena Gomez, A Teenager’s ‘Hero’ (VIDEO)Meet Hana Hwang, a 13-year-old who suffers from progeria. This condition causes children to age eight to ten times faster than the average person. It is a non-curable ailment and only 10 such cases exist in the US. Such kids survive on average just 13 years, Hana’s age.

“Progeria is an extremely rare genetic condition wherein symptoms resembling aspects of aging are manifested at an early age. The word progeria comes from the Greek words “pro,” meaning “before”, and “géras”, meaning “old age”. The disorder has very low incidences and occurs in an estimated 1 per 8 million live births. Those born with progeria typically live to their mid teens and early twenties. It is a genetic condition that occurs as a new mutation, and is rarely inherited. Although the term progeria applies strictly speaking to all diseases characterized by premature aging symptoms, and is often used as such, it is often applied specifically in reference to Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS).” – Wikipedia.

Lakers’ Shannon Brown Opts Out: A Free AgentIn news none too shocking, Shannon Brown officially opted out of his contract with the Lakers and became a free agent. This decision doesn’t rule out another go around with the Lakers, but the odds feel low. For two consecutive seasons, Shannon faded over the second half, perhaps revealing himself a bad fit. Plus, the organization appeared to anticipate a parting of the ways. As Shannon noted, two guards were drafted in the second round. Even if Darius Morris and Andrew Goudelock aren’t quite seasoned enough to replicate his role, thematically, it feels like handwriting on the wall. MORE
