R.I.P Nelson Mandela

Today we mourn one of the most influential and passionate persons of our time. Read The Boss Up’s 5 best Nelson Mandela quotes. 

• “It always seems impossible until it’s done.”
  
• “I like friends who have independent minds because they tend to make you see problems from all angles.”
• “Everyone can rise above their circumstances and achieve success if they are dedicated to and passionate about what they do.”
•  ”Lead from the back — and let others believe they are in front.”
•  ”Do not judge me by my successes, judge me by how many times I fell down and got back up again.”

Fast and Furious star Paul Walker died in a car crash around 5:30 P.M. on Saturday in Southern California. When police arrived to the scene, the car was in flames and the victims were pronounced dead at the scene.  Walker was the passenger in a friend’s car and the cause of the crash is still under investigation. It has been confirmed that former race car driver Roger Rodas was the driver of the red Porsche GT. Fans and celebrity friends prayed that this was another internet hoax but unfortunately, it wasn’t. His Fast and Furious co-star Vin Diesel shared his sympathy on Instagram, ”Brother I will miss you very much, I am absolutely speechless. Heaven has gained a new Angel. Rest in Peace.” Many others stars gave their condolences as well on social media. This was a loss that shocked the world.Gone too soon, Paul Walker’s legacy will live on always and forever. The Boss Up sends our condolences to the family and friends of Paul Walker and Roger Rodas.

Rumor has it Basketball Wives’ Star Evelyn Lozada is expecting. And NO the baby is not Chad Ochocinco’s. Supposedly Lozada has been in a relationship with a mystery man for about a year now, and how many months pregnant do you think she is?.. .6 Months. She has said the pregnancy was “planned” and all of her family and close friends knew. She has been MIA, but this is possibly the best kept secret ever. I am interested to know who her new beau is . .What are your thoughts on this?

This morning Derrick Rose underwent surgery to repair a torn meniscus on his right knee, an injury in result of Fridays game versus the Portland Trail Blazers. The surgery was performed at Rush University Medical Center by Dr. Brian Cole, the teams physician whom also repaired Rose’s torn ACL. Rose had two options either he would have his meniscus replaced and be back on the the floor within weeks or have it reattached which seems what Rose went with. By having it reattached it results in about 4 to 6 months on the sidelines.It is said that having your meniscus replaced causes more problems as time progresses in one’s basketball career. We hope to see Rose play again one day but for now he is out for the remainder of the season.

Derrick Rose from the Chicago Bulls is set to undergo surgery for a medial meniscus tear in his right knee. It is believed that the injury occurred as Rose tried to change direction to get on defense after Nicolas Batum from the Trail Blazers stole a pass from Joakim Noah. Rose was assisted to the locker room with only 3:20 remaining in the third quarter. His recovery time still has not been set but a meniscus tear isn’t an injury that could possibly end his season, since it is significantly less serious than his ACL tear last season. A meniscus removal has a shorter recovery time than a repair but, if Rose decides to have the meniscus reattached since it would be better for him in the long, run it could result in a longer recovery time. This injury will definitely be a test for Rose both mentally and physically, since he had hopes of coming back better than ever and regaining his MVP from.
