MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- Kirby Puckett died Monday, a day after the Hall of Fame outfielder had a stroke at his Arizona home, a hospital spokeswoman said. He was 44.

Puckett died at St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center in Scottsdale, Ariz., Kimberly Lodge said. He had been in intensive care since having surgery at another hospital following his stroke Sunday morning.

Puckett carried the Twins to World Series titles in 1987 and 1991 before his career was cut short by glaucoma. His family, friends and former teammates gathered at the hospital throughout Monday.

"On behalf of Major League Baseball, I am terribly saddened by the sudden passing of Kirby Puckett," baseball commissioner Bud Selig said. "He was a Hall of Famer in every sense of the term.

"He played his entire career with the Twins and was an icon in Minnesota. But he was revered throughout the country and will be remembered wherever the game is played. Kirby was taken from us much too soon -- and too quickly," he said.

Fuckit

Oh man, that's awful. Kirby Puckett was awesome, one of the best centerfielders ever...he played with such passion, it was impossible to dislike the guy, despite the fact the Twins were so competitive with my Blue Jays during his career.

One of my best baseball-related memories is seeing him hit a screamer of a home run at the Metrodome.

HOLY SHIT. Honest to God, I thought he would pull through. One of the two greatest Twins players ever, second only to Rod Carew, and I bet Puckett would've surpassed him if it wasn't for his glaucoma.

R.I.P. Kirby.

ya Puckett was my fav player growing up

have all his cards

he was in a celebrity game on mtv (softball) someone hit it dead center he chased it for like 30-40 feet hoped the mini -fence and caught it

technically it was a homerun but a cool as shit play

Man, all that for an exhibition game. I take it back, Puck WAS the Twins' greatest. (Also, Carew spent a third of his career in Anaheim, so that settles it.)

I cheered hard for those Twins teams of 87 and 91. A chicago boy, I always liked the way he played.

Kirby played his college ball right here at Triton.

A pretty sad day. I always liked Kirby. I mean, how can you not like a guy named Kirby?

Cult poet Ivor Cutler dies at 83

Poet and musician Ivor Cutler, who counted John Peel and the Beatles among his fans, has died at the age of 83.

Cutler wrote surreal songs and poetry and continued to perform live until 2004. He also wrote books, did illustrations and made radio series.

He appeared regularly on Peel's radio shows and The Beatles gave him a role in the film Magical Mystery Tour.

Cutler's 1967 album Ludo, produced by George Martin, was re-released in 1997 by Creation, then the label of Oasis.

Born into a middle-class Jewish family in Glasgow, Cutler attributed his artistic bent to the displacement he felt when his younger brother was born.

"Without that I would not have been so screwed up as I am, and therefore not as creative," he said.

"Without a kid brother I would have been quite dull."

After serving with the RAF in World War II, Cutler became a teacher.

He moved to London and continued to teach, while still pursuing his artistic career, until he retired in 1980.

Sort of proves my point that the world will kill you no matter what you do. Enjoy your life now.

BAMAKO, Mali - Ali Farka Toure, a traditional African musician who won two Grammy Awards, died Tuesday in his native Mali after a long illness. He was in his late 60s.

Mali's Culture Ministry said Toure died at his home in the capital, Bamako, after a long struggle with an unidentified illness, the ministry said.

Toure, one of Africa's most famous performers, played a traditional Malian stringed instrument called the gurke.

He was best-known overseas for his 1995 collaboration with American guitarist Ry Cooder on "Talking Timbuktu," which netted him his first of two Grammys.

He won another Grammy this year in the traditional world music album category for his "In the Heart of the Moon" album, performed with fellow Malian Toumani Diabate.

Across his deeply impoverished west African nation, people mourned Toure's passing and radio stations suspended regular play, sending Toure's signature lilting sounds out over airwaves instead.

Toure was born in 1939 in the northern Sahara Desert trading post of Timbuktu. Like many Africans of his generation, the exact date of his birth was not recorded.

Toure learned the gurkel at an early age, later also taking up the guitar. He cited many Western musicians for inspiration, including Ray Charles, Otis Redding and John Lee Hooker.

Toure spent much of his older age in his childhood town of Niafunke, which has become a pilgrimage spot for many music-loving Africans and tourists seeking one of the original progenitors of a genre known as Mali Blues.

Andy Kaufman didn't smoke either. And he was a vegetarian. Dead of lung cancer at 35.

So this is the first photo Yahoo thought to put op of Dava Reeve? There is something real sad about it, and something not quite right. But yet something that keeps drawing me back in....

the hard nipples and the Darth Vader sans helmet in the wheelchair, perhaps?

Legendary concert pianist Lily Dumont Mindus dies at 94
March 7, 2006 Boston Globe

NEW BEDFORD, Mass. --Concert pianist Lily Dumont Mindus, who performed
around the world after fleeing Nazi Germany, died at her New Bedford
home Monday. She was 94.

Mindus had performed as a soloist with the Berlin Philharmonic
Orchestra by the time she was 15, but left the country with her fiance
as the Nazi regime began imposing harsh restrictions on Jewish
performers. Her finance, Dr. Walter V. Mindus, became a physician and
surgeon on the staff of St. Luke's Hospital in New Bedford. He died in
1985.

Performing as Lily Dumont, she continued to tour Europe, Latin America
and the U.S. in the 1950s and 1960s, her family said. She also recorded
for His Master's Voice, Polydor and Concert Society labels.

"Her (playing) has a flowing, singing quality that you hear very
rarely," Raphael Hillyer, a longtime friend and founding member of the
Juilliard String Quartet, told The Standard-Times of New Bedford.

For many years, Mindus performed in Sunday radio recitals broadcast
over local Station WNBH and WCRB in Boston.

Survivors include her sons, Dr. Lester Mindus of Los Angeles and Paul
Mindus of London, and two grandchildren.

Auschwitz Escapee Herskovic Dies at 91

Tue Mar 7, 11:12 AM ET

William Herskovic, who escaped from Auschwitz and helped inspire Belgium's resistance to the Nazis during World War II, has died at the age of 91.

Herskovic died Friday at his Encino home after a lengthy battle with cancer, said his daughter, Patricia Herskovic.

Three months after being sent from Belgium to Auschwitz, Herskovic escaped by cutting through a chain-link fence with two other prisoners using a pair of wire cutters he had hidden. It was the first night of Hanukkah in 1942.

The three hopped a train to Breslau, Germany, but a local rabbi threw them out when they tried to tell him about the horrors at Auschwitz.

For the next three weeks, they trekked across Nazi-occupied Europe by bus and train, financing their journey with proceeds from a 3-carat diamond Herskovic had embedded in the heel of his shoe.

In his prewar home of Antwerp, Belgium, Herskovic delivered one of the earliest firsthand accounts of the atrocities of the Holocaust.

The resistance swiftly mobilized, placing bricks on railroad tracks to stop a train packed with hundreds of Jews bound for the camps. About 250 prisoners escaped.

"His survival saved hundreds," the Simon Wiesenthal Center in Los Angeles said in a tribute.

Before being sent to Auschwitz, Herskovic operated a photography studio in Antwerp. He returned to photography for at least a decade after the war, but no longer wanted to be an artist.

"The things he saw — his artist's soul was pretty tromped on," Patricia Herskovic said.

In Los Angeles, he bought Bel Air Camera in Westwood, which his family still owns.

Herskovic is survived by three daughters, two brothers, four grandchildren and a great-granddaughter.

NEW YORK - Gordon Parks, who captured the struggles and triumphs of black America as a photographer for Life magazine and then became Hollywood's first major black director with "The Learning Tree" and the hit "Shaft," died Tuesday, a family member said. He was 93.

Shut Your Mouth! Talkin bout Shaft.

Obituary: John Profumo

John Profumo, who was at the centre of one of the UK's most famous political scandals, has died at the age of 91.

John Profumo's public life was dramatically split into two parts: disgrace and redemption.

Nearly 40 years after he misled the House of Commons and helped bring down the Macmillan government, the former politician was a dedicated charity worker, for whom his friend Lord Longford "felt more admiration than all the men I've known in my lifetime".

21 May 1963 was the date of Mr Profumo's own journey on the road to Damascus. That was the day the then Secretary for War addressed the House of Commons and stressed there had been no impropriety in his relations with a woman called Christine Keeler.

Unfortunate liaison

In fact, Mr Profumo had met Miss Keeler two years previously at Cliveden, the home of Lord Astor, and embarked on an affair.

A government minister compromised by a love scandal was nothing unprecedented, and has happened since, but this liaison proved particularly ill-judged.

Christine Keeler was a high class call girl who, under the auspices of her social-climbing Svengali Stephen Ward, had infiltrated some of the higher echelons of London society.

Unfortunately for Mr Profumo, one of her acquaintances was the Soviet military attache, Eugene Ivanov.

Wife's loyalty

Although an investigation later established that fiercely patriotic John Profumo had never surrendered national secrets in his conversations with Keeler, their liaison provided a heady media cocktail of sex and security, and Mr Profumo's government days were numbered.

He explained that he had misled the House to protect his family. In fact, when he confessed his infidelity to his wife, actress Valerie Hobson, during a trip to Venice, she made it clear where her loyalty lay. They would return to London, she said, to face the music together.

Mr Profumo's fall from grace over one shameful episode was described by Harold Macmillan as "a great tragedy", for this was a man whose skills could have taken him to the top of the Conservative Party.

Kept regrets to himself

Graced with an Italian ancestry, a family fortune and the title of Baron which he never used, John Profumo, known to all his friends as Jack, was educated at Harrow and Oxford. In 1940. aged 25, he entered the Commons after winning a by-election at Kettering and becoming the youngest member of the House.

It was a tumultuous time and, following the Anglo-French withdrawal from Narvik, Profumo - an Army officer - was among a number of Conservative MPs to vote against prime minister Neville Chamberlain, in a move which paved the way for Winston Churchill to enter Downing Street.

Profumo enjoyed a "good war", rising to the rank of brigadier, but lost Kettering in the Labour election landslide of 1945.

Having re-entered the Commons in 1950 as member for Stratford-on-Avon in 1950, he held a series of ministerial posts, most notably Minister for Foreign Affairs. Then, in July 1960, he was made Secretary of State for War.

But if he had regrets about his curtailed career, after May 1963, Mr Profumo kept them to himself. Instead, he dedicated his energies to helping the poor and disadvantaged in London's East End.

Within days of his political decline, he turned up at the refuge centre Toynbee Hall and asked to help with the washing up.

"One of our national heroes"

He stayed for nearly 40 years, used his still intact political skills to raise huge funds, and expanded the charity's activities to include social programmes and youth training. His wife, too, gave her time to helping others, working until her death in 1998 for the leprosy charity Lepra.

In 1975, John Profumo received a CBE for his services to charity. And 20 years later, Margaret Thatcher, who called him "one of our national heroes", invited him to her 70th birthday dinner, and seated him next to the Queen.

His rehabilitation was complete. Lady Thatcher said then: "It's time to forget the Keeler business. His has been a very good life."

The 1989 film Scandal and later Keeler's autobiography kept the Profumo affair alive in the public imagination. However, for four decades after his downfall, the beleaguered protagonist always maintained a dignified silence.

He always judged his own actions harshly, but by his friends, peers and society, John Profumo had been long since forgiven.

Howard Stern show Whack Packer Cliff Palette died the other day, hours after coming clean that he does not have a cleft palette. Here is his My Space page.

Obituary: Slobodan Milosevic

To some, Slobodan Milosevic WAS Serbia. To others, he cynically used Serbia as the battering ram which broke Yugoslavia apart piece by piece in a series of brutal wars.

The young Milosevic learnt his political skills in Belgrade. In the last years of Marshal Tito's Yugoslavia, he was a model Communist.

Tito's death left a vacuum at the apex of power. Milosevic, with his drive and cunning, was meanwhile using Serbia as his ladder to the top.

In April 1987, Milosevic saw his chance and seized it with both hands. As number two in the Serbian Communist Party, he was sent by his boss, Ivan Stambolic, to Serbia's troubled province of Kosovo.

Rallying cry to Serbs

The Serbs there - then a dwindling 10% of the population - complained of persecution by the majority Albanians. As Milosevic strode out to address an angry crowd of Serbs, he uttered the words which were to change everything.

"No-one shall dare beat you again!¿ he told them.

His words were a rallying cry for Serbs disillusioned with the old-style communism. Suddenly they had the leader they craved, a man who, from this moment on, used television and the media to secure his place at the head of his people.

Before the year was out, Milosevic had deposed Stambolic, his long-time friend and mentor. Within two years Milosevic was President of Serbia. Kosovo's autonomy - along with that of another province, Vojvodina - was abolished. Serbian nationalism was on the march.

But the crude fervour which drew Serbs together, was repellent to the Slovenes, Croats and other nations of Yugoslavia. Milosevic saw himself forging a Greater Serbia from the remnants of Yugoslavia. Instead he created a monster which all but devoured Serbia.

Secession

In 1991, when Slovenia and Croatia seceded from Yugoslavia, the Serbian-dominated Yugoslav-army went onto the offensive. Here the support of Belgrade, and by implication Milosevic, was crucial.

With Serb paramilitaries backed by the army Croatian towns like Vukovar were pounded into submission.

Bosnia was subjected to the same treatment. When the republic declared its independence, its Serbian minority was already armed and braced to resist.

Bosnia's predominantly Muslim capital, Sarajevo, along with other cities, was surrounded and besieged. The siege lasted for more than three years.

With the horrors of conflict came a new term, "ethnic cleansing". Whole populations were forced from their homes, for some the fate was far worse.

By then, Milosevic had distanced himself from the Bosnian Serb leadership and its military commander, General Mladic, who was present at Srebrenica, where up to 8,000 Muslim men and boys were massacred.

Conflict in Kosovo

Instead, Slobodan Milosevic, the architect of war, had reinvented himself as the Man of Peace. It was Milosevic who, in Paris, signed the Dayton Peace Treaty on behalf of the Bosnian Serbs - the very people he had goaded into war.

With three wars fought and lost for Yugoslavia, Milosevic started planning a fourth, for Kosovo.

Over 10 years, conditions in Kosovo had worsened dramatically. But now, it was the Albanians who were seething against Serbian rule, and demanding the return of their autonomy.

In the summer of 1998, as Albanians mounted mass protests against Serbian rule, police and army reinforcements were sent in to crush the Albanian guerrilla organisation, the Kosovo Liberation Army.

It was the beginning of the end of Milosevic's dream. Weeks of peace talks in France got nowhere, and Nato was called on to carry out its threat to bomb the Serbian military into submission.

The ethnic cleansing which followed, of up to half of the Kosovo Albanian population, was dismissed by Milosevic, in characteristic terms, as people simply fleeing from Nato's bombs.

Indicted

But this time, Belgrade's responsibility was clear, and Slobodan Milosevic became the first serving head of state to be indicted for crimes against humanity. His grip on power was beginning to slip.

In the summer of 2000, he changed the format of the presidential election. In a direct vote, the people of Yugoslavia would decide who would lead them.

Commentators believed at the time that this move would secure Milosevic another term of office. But it was not to be.

In the presidential election of September 2000, and despite denying the opposition alliance any time on state-controlled radio or television, Slobodan Milosevic was clearly defeated by the opposition leader, Vojislav Kostunica.

When the Federal Election Commission called for a second ballot, Yugoslavia came to a standstill.

A general strike and widespread demonstrations culminated, on 5 October, in opposition supporters capturing Belgrade's parliament building and the headquarters of state television. Milosevic and his wife fled. Thirteen years of rule were ended in 12 breathtaking hours.

Six months later, an armed standoff outside Milosevic's mansion ended with the arrest of the former president. Justice could finally be seen to be done.

Slobodan Milosevic may be remembered as a nationalist who brought disaster upon his nation and the Balkans. Or as a gambler, playing with people's lives, and using conflict to cement his hold on power. Few will mourn his passing, and many in the Balkans will breathe more easily.

Celtic great Johnstone dies at 61

Celtic legend Jimmy Johnstone has died at the age of 61 after a long battle with motor neurone disease.

Johnstone was a member of Celtic's Lisbon Lions team, who became the first British side to win the European Cup when they beat Inter Milan in 1967.

Johnstone scored over 100 goals for Celtic, won 23 caps for Scotland and in 2002 was voted Celtic's greatest player by supporters of the club.

He was diagnosed with the motor neurone condition in November 2001.

His son James Johnstone, 35, said: "My dad passed away at 6am this morning. It hasn't even begun to sink in yet for the family."

Born in Viewpark, Lanarkshire, Johnstone made his debut for Celtic in 1963.

His dazzling dribbles earned him the nickname 'Jinky' and he became part of the team that won nine consecutive Scottish League titles between 1965 and 1974.

The highlight of his career came when Celtic came from a goal behind to defeat Inter Milan in the European Cup final.

His manager Jock Stein, who died of a heart attack in 1985, said Johnstone - with whom he had several run-ins - was "better than Stanley Matthews".

After leaving Parkhead, he played for San Jose Earthquakes, Sheffield United, Dundee, Shelbourne and Elgin City before retiring from football.

Johnstone became an active campaigner for stem cell research after he was diagnosed with the condition.

Motor neurone disease affects the nerve cells that send electrical signals from the brain, causing the muscles to waste away.

About 1,200 people are diagnosed in the UK each year and sufferers have a life expectancy of two to five years.

Actress Maureen Stapleton Dies at 80


LENOX, Mass.(AP) - Oscar-winning actress Maureen Stapleton has died, her son said Monday. She was 80.


Stapleton, who won an Oscar for best supporting actress for her role in "Reds," had been living in the Berkshire Hills in Lenox.

Her son, Daniel Allentuck, said she died Monday of natural causes.

Writer behind 'gonzo' dies at 68


Writer Bill Cardoso, who coined the term "gonzo" to describe the journalism of Hunter S Thompson, has died in California at the age of 68.

Cardoso was working for the Boston Globe newspaper when he befriended Thompson as they both covered Richard Nixon's 1968 US presidential campaign.

He later called Thompson's resulting story, which mixed outrageous reportage and personal excess, "pure gonzo".

Cardoso died of a cardiac arrest after suffering from throat cancer.

As well as being friends, Thompson and Cardoso were admirers of each other's work.

The word "gonzo" was said by Cardoso to be a slang word meaning weird or bizarre from his native Boston, Massachusetts.

Cardoso invoked the "gonzo" style for his own work, which appeared in US magazines Rolling Stone and Esquire.

Published work

He used the style when he covered the "Rumble in the Jungle", the 1974 boxing match in Zaire between George Foreman and Muhammad Ali, for New Times magazine.

Most of his piece focused on happenings outside the ring, including an encounter with paratroopers and a man selling python skin.

In 1984, Cardoso published a collection of stories called The Maltese Sangweech and Other Heroes.

He published another book, Dr Kurland and Dr O'Connor: The Story of a Feud, in 1990.

Long-time companion Mary Miles Ryan said Cardoso died at his home in Kelseyville, California.

that's got to be the weakest claim to "fame" for anyone I've ever seen.

Remember the clapping in 'Private Eyes'? Well that was Oates.

It wasn't him clapping...it was his idea to clap.

Game Show Host Dies in Plane Crash


A small plane carrying retired game show host PETER TOMARKEN crashed off the coast of Santa Monica, CA, today, "The Insider" has confirmed. Two passengers were killed.

Miss Deaf Texas struck by train, killed

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) -- The reigning Miss Deaf Texas died after being struck by a train, officials said.

Tara Rose McAvoy, 18, was walking Monday near railroad tracks when she was struck by a Union Pacific train, authorities said.

A witness told Austin television station KTBC the train sounded its horn right up until the accident occurred.

McAvoy, who had been deaf since birth, won the state title in June and represented the state "with dignity and pride," state pageant director Laura Loeb-Hill told The Associated Press via e-mail Monday night.

McAvoy was to represent Texas at the Miss Deaf America pageant this summer, Loeb-Hill said.

McAvoy graduated last year from the Texas School for the Deaf, attended Austin Community College and then started at Gallaudet University in Washington, D.C., in January, but had returned to Texas, Loeb-Hill said.

Chicken Nugget Inventor Dies

An analogy: Teressa Bellissamo is to the chicken wing, as Robert Baker is to? The answer would be the chicken nugget.

Baker, the Cornell University poultry and food science professor, died Monday night.

He's long been credited as bringing the nation the chicken nugget after developing a method to keep breading on the pieces of chicken. But Baker's passion went past just nuggets. He also helped shape such food Americana as turkey ham, poultry dogs and other products.

Baker made the Cornell Chicken barbecue sauce famous. President Clinton even sampled the Central New York specialty on a visit to Baker's Chicken Coop in 1999.

He was inducted into the American Poultry Hall of Fame in 2004.

Friends, family and former students will celebrate his life this weekend in proper style - with a chicken barbecue.

Robert Baker was 84-years-old.

I hope he and 500 others are pulped and fed to chickens.
