Rodney Ray Rogers (born June 20, 1971) is a retired American professional basketball player who played for several teams in the National Basketball Association (NBA).
Rogers was the fourth and youngest child born to Willie Wardsworth and Estella Rogers. He spent most of his childhood growing up in the McDougald Terrace housing project in Durham. His father, who left the family and moved to Texas when Rogers was a toddler, died when Rogers was eight.
Estella Rogers sustained severe head injuries and required two operations when she was nearly killed in an automobile wreck in 1988. She was in a coma for more than two weeks and remained hospitalized for three more months. Even after she returned home she still had memory loss and needed extra care. While his mother recovered, Rogers moved in with Nathaniel Brooks, who was once his youth league coach, spending his last two seasons at Hillside High School with the Brooks family.
His stepfather James Spencer, who was the only man Rogers called "Dad", died of lung cancer in February 1990. Renita, the oldest of the Rogers children, became a nurse at N.C. Memorial Hospital in Chapel Hill. His oldest brother Stacy, who attended the Eastern N.C. School for the Deaf in Wilson and the N.C. School for the Deaf in Morganton, won a gold medal in basketball at the 1981 XIV Deaflympics (aka "World Games for the Deaf" and "World Deaf Olympics") in Cologne, Germany. After that he worked for the Veterans Administration Hospital in Durham. Stanley, his other brother, served over 10 years (1981–1991) of a 20-year sentence for armed robbery at Central Prison in Raleigh.

North Carolina (i/ˌnɔːrθ kærəˈlaɪnə/) is a state in the southeastern region of the United States. The state borders South Carolina and Georgia to the south, Tennessee to the west, Virginia to the north, and the Atlantic Ocean to the east. North Carolina is the 28th most extensive and the 9th most populous of the 50 United States. North Carolina is known as the Tar Heel State and the Old North State.
North Carolina is composed of 100 counties. Its two largest metropolitan areas are among the top ten fastest-growing in the country: its capital, Raleigh, and its largest city, Charlotte. In the past five decades, North Carolina's economy has undergone a transition from reliance upon tobacco, textiles, and furniture-making to a more diversified economy with engineering, energy, biotechnology, and finance sectors.
North Carolina has a wide range of elevations, from sea level on the coast to 6,684 feet (2,037 m) at Mount Mitchell, the highest point in North America east of the Mississippi River. The climate of the coastal plains is strongly influenced by the Atlantic Ocean. Most of the state falls in the humid subtropical climate zone. More than 300 miles (500 km) from the coast, the western, mountainous part of the state has a subtropical highland climate.
The personal name Rodney originated as a toponym: Rodney Stoke in Somerset derived its name from an Anglo-Saxon name meaning "Hroda's island" (Hroda being a short form of an Anglo-Saxon name beginning with the element hrod- "fame"). "Rodney" became a surname in the 18th century, and a title of the peerage of Great Britain in 1782, as Baron Rodney. Secondarily, it came to be used as a given name, originally in honour of Admiral George Brydges Rodney, 1st Baron Rodney.

Everyone has seen the video of T-Mac scoring 13 points in 35 seconds to pull the Rockets back from certain defeat. It's like a top-5 component of YouTube-NBA lore. Even that annoying dude in your circle of acquaintances who wears that corny "sportsball" t-shirt and talks about how pro sports are a waste of time to anyone who will listen has probably seen and appreciated the video. That video sucks. This video of Rodney Rogers scoring 9 points in 8 (only 8 holy crap) seconds is way better: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ In the end, Rodney's team ended up losing despite his heroics, which lessens the impact of his insane three-point barrage a bit. But you can't argue with more points scored than seconds elapsed. You just can't. This wasn't 13 points with a bunch of lame-ass s...

I created this video today in honor of Rodney Rogers receiving the ACC Legends award at the 2013 ACC Tournament. The video includes great video of Rodney Rogers in high school displaying his incredible talent. Rodney possessed amazing strength, power, quickness, shooting touch, and fundamental skills. As great a player as he was, Rodney is an even greater person. Some of my greatest basketball playing memories were competing vs Rodney's Hillside HS team. Rodney was an inspiration then and is still an inspiration today. 0 - 1:20 Hillside HS highlights 1:21 - 2:13 McDonalds All-American highlights 2:14 - 4:44 Wake Forest highlights

Rodney talks about his impressions of the survey this year and how the results echo what's happening in the market in terms of buying patterns among the Fortune 500. He specifically talks about how cloud computing technology is helping make business more agile, and calls out impact on M&A; transitions as a use case. He also discusses views around cloud computing security becoming far more nuanced and how cost has become less of an initial factor than it used to be, though still ever-present as a secondary factor.
