Former U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge was in critical condition Thursday after undergoing an emergency heart procedure at a hospital in Austin. A Ridge spokesman said the 72-year-old Ridge, Pennsylvania's Republican governor from 1995 to 2001, was attending the Republican Governors Association conference when he called for help at his hotel at about 7 a.m. The spokesman said Ridge underwent a cardiac catheterization at Dell Seton Medical Center at the University of Texas. He said Ridge has been responsive with physicians. SC

His family wants to give him a proper funeral, but hasn't two pennies to rub together.

So How's Your 2018 Shortlist Looking?
Sir Creep replied to Joey Russ's topic in DeathList extra-curricular
Haven't even started. Gonna be a pathetic attempt I fear, time is pulling at me in different directions other than 100 hours necessary to put a quality team together. SC -
Another in the long list of unknown university presidents I am not supposed to post in a thread entitled 'university presidents'.... Haskell Moorman Monroe, Jr., former president of The University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP), died Monday, Nov. 13, in College Station, Texas. He was 86 years old. Dr. Monroe served as UTEP’s president from 1980 to 1987. His great love of books and his commitment to providing students with access to a world-class selection of volumes, journals and publications resulted in his greatest legacy: the $28 million University Library, which opened in 1984. As a librarian, I appreciate that. SC

Former Old Dominion and Fayetteville State coach Jeff Capel Jr. has died, less than two years after being diagnosed with ALS. He was 64. Capel was diagnosed with ALS in the spring of 2016 by doctors at Duke University. His son — Duke (basketball) associate head coach Jeff Capel III — revealed the diagnosis in a first-person story written in January for The Players Tribune. Interesting choice of photos the paper included, what with his head chopped off. *shaking my attached head* SC

Oh c'mon. It's too easy, I can't even say it. Should I? No I just can't....

Is that a single home? Sure looks like a row of homes. If the latter, I could read all the twisted pretzel logic and legalese and mental gymnastics wherein this shark thingy could remain, and none of it would make a lick of sense. Thus....I'm left to believe it's a big long single home. Even then, that shit wouldn't fly in America. I live across the street, you just destroyed MY aesthetics and more importantly, my property value on resale. Who wants to live by a 25' fish? No one....and thus it would come down in haste. (PS: I saw the Wiki article and footnotes, and they talk about safety to the people...a pressing matter...and being OK it could stay. What about the ^^^ I spoke of? Doesn't that matter in the U.K.?)

The Fringes Of Fame/family Of The Famous
Sir Creep replied to maryportfuncity's topic in DeathList Forum
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Marquise Goodwin helped his team win their first NFL game of 2017 just hours after his wife lost their son during complications in her pregnancy. Goodwin scored a touchdown as the 49ers beat the New York Giants 31-21. He then celebrated by blowing a kiss to the sky and appeared to offer a prayer before being joined by his team-mates. Actually had Goodwin on one of my fantasy football teams, had no idea. BTW it wasn't just any old touchdown, it was an 83-yard bomb, and not just any old win, the team was a winless 0-8 prior to yesterday. Tough day -- one I wouldn't want to imagine -- but glad that this accomplishment happened for him. SC -
Arjay Miller, a onetime Ford Motor Co. “whiz kid” who as the company’s president and later as dean of Stanford’s Graduate School of Business called on business executives to assume larger roles of civic and social responsibility, died Nov. 3 at his home in Woodside. He was 101. The cause was a stroke. SC

A few photos I took driving from Orange, TX to Beaumont about 3-4 weeks after the hurricane/flooding. Clean up trucks doing all they can, one house at a time. SC

I was well aware of Tracy McGiffin, but wasn't stupid enough to post the 'tip'. So it appears you are including the worst as well as the best when it comes to your awards. Calling something the 'Tip of the Year' is, in my book, saying 'Biggest Gaff of the Year' for being the Town Crier. Surely she wasn't going to be unique, but I suspect few would have discovered her prior to Jan 1, given the timing. Regardless....winning that award is a vice, not a virtue. SC

My present Ford F150 I call 'Big Brown' after the horse. When I bought it, I told the salesman 'I can't believe I'm buying a brown vehicle' cuz I think it's a horrific colour (white being the worst unquestionably), to which he informed me 'it's not brown, it's called 'Golden Bronze', which basically sealed the deal.

How'd he die? Bista shit outta me.

Not exactly a 'union', but.... Charles McMillan, who guided the National Association of Realtors (NAR) in the aftermath of the 2008 recession as the first black man elected as its president, died Wednesday in Fort Worth, Texas, following complications due to congestive heart failure, the association confirmed. He was 66. Under McMillan’s leadership, the association lobbied successfully for an $8,000 tax credit for first-time homebuyers, tackled rampant foreclosure rates and fought to prevent banking interests from entering the real estate industry, which NAR argued could stymie competition. Dude wasn't a tiny man, no wonder he dropped over at 66. Looks like Fats Domino!

Well I'm certainly in no position to admonish, chastise, pontificate, or question the likes of the top 4 teams this year as we head down the home stretch. I know and admit my flaws in this game. HOWEVER -- I"m shocked and stunned that all 4 teams drank the kool-aid that is Leah Bracknell. What did you read in December 2016 that made you think she was a goner? I've been continual in preaching she 'ain't going anywhere' this year. But again...obviously they know, and I don't, and it's part of my package of flaws I referred to earlier. And with that, as when I scoffed at the idea of Fats Domino dying a mere 2 days prior to his demise, we shall be reading Bracknell's obit before Wednesday, no matter what I think or spew. SC

Liliʻuokalani, the last member of the monarchy of the Hawaiian Islands, died exactly 100 years ago today (79) -- though the monarchy was lost and the Islands annexed to the U.S. prior to 1900.

Linda Nochlin, a celebrated art historian whose feminist approach permanently altered her field, died on Sunday at her home in Manhattan. She was 86. Her family said the cause was cancer. At her death she was the Lila Acheson Wallace professor of modern art emerita at the New York University Institute of Fine Arts. Professor Nochlin earned a place of honor in both art-historical and art-world circles in January 1971 with a groundbreaking essay whose very title, “Why Have There Been No Great Women Artists?,” threw down a gauntlet.
