Carol Cole

Carol Cole was never sick in her life, but last week suddenly learned she had an advance cancerous spot on her lung. Timolin tells press: “Our sister Cookie hadn’t been to a doctor in 30 years, and last week she went in and they found a cancerous spot on her lung. They had wanted to start chemo right away, but Cookie said no.”
Suddenly as Natalie and Timolin were comforting Carol, Natalie got a call that her liver transplant she had been waiting for was ready. Natalie was unwilling to leave Carol. Timolin told Natalie that Cookie would want her to do the procedure. Natalie did, it was a success, and when she emerged, Cookie had passed. The singer was by her older sister's side when she learned that a donor organ had become available.

Roh Moo hyun

Former South Korean President Roh Moo-hyun, embroiled in a broadening corruption scandal, died Saturday after jumping from a mountain cliff behind his rural southern home. He left behind a suicide note, his lawyer said. Roh, 62, had been hiking in the village of Bongha Saturday morning when he threw himself off the mountainside, lawyer Moon Jae-in told reporters.
He was rushed to Busan National University Hospital in the nearby port city of Busan around 8:15 a.m. (2315 GMT) and died around 9:30 a.m. (0030 GMT) from head injuries, hospital officials said. The former president left a "brief" suicide note for his family, Moon told reporters at a news conference at the hospital.
MBC television reported that Roh said in the note that things have been "difficult" and he felt he had made "too many people suffer." The note also said Roh wanted his body cremated, according to the report. It did not say how it obtained the note. Investigators have not seen the suicide note, a Busan police official said. He did not give his name, citing department policy. President Lee Myung-bak said Saturday that the news was "truly hard to believe" and called Roh's death "sad and tragic," presidential spokesman Lee Dong-kwan said.

LeBron James Shot

LeBron James Buzzer Beater winning shot tonight May 22! LeBron James’ Buzzer Beater shot is history making. The shot doesn’t get any better than this. And Cleveland residents will probably never forget it. The three pointer prompted Mo Williams to say: “I don’t know what to do right now! “That was a pretty good game, what do y’all think? The basketball gods love us. That was an instant classic.”
The shot was crazy, unreal, and just amazing. But yet, this is LeBron James - the man delivers. Team members have faith in him and even haters tonight have to salute him. LeBron has been delivering all year and tonight was no exception. Watch the video of LeBron Jame’ Buzzer Beater winning shot tonight May 22 from the NBA below (it takes a second to load). James made a fadeaway three-pointer over Orlando's Hedo Turkoglu as the final horn sounded Friday night to give the Cavaliers a 96-95 victory over the Orlando Magic that evened the Eastern Conference finals at one win apiece.
From 23 feet, James made a shot unlike any before in Cleveland history. Taking the inbound pass from Mo Williams, James only had time to turn toward the rim and fire. As the shot dropped in, James sprinted into the arms of his teammates. He finished with 35 points. Game 3 is Sunday night in Orlando. Charlotte: Bob Johnson, the first black majority owner of a major pro sports team, is exploring selling the Bobcats. The move could pave the way for minority investor Michael Jordan to take control of the team, if he's willing to meet Johnson's price.
