A construction industry architect instrumental in many iconic things in south Louisiana... Robert H. Boh, who led the construction company founded by his father and uncle in an era when the firm helped build the Superdome and renovate Jackson Square, died Friday. He was 86. Boh Bros....played an integral part in the construction of the 36.9-mile stretch of I-10 from Lafayette to Grosse Tete in 1973. It's an amazing stretch of road, from Baton Rouge to Lafayette near where I live, traversing swamps and rivers. Visually nothing like this road in the world. SC

Justin Reed, who starred for the Ole Miss basketball team from 2000-04 and went to play three seasons in the NBA with the Celtics and Timberwolves, died early Friday morning after a battle with angiosarcoma, a form of spinal cancer. SC

Can't imagine why. I mean, she must have been no different than any other wife of a senator that was just like all the other senators. SC

Because most people 80+ are frail and disoriented.

Damn. I don't need to hear news like this. Huge Throbbing Gristle fan in the day, and of course Psychic TV. Get well, dammit SC (EDIT: What the hell is this doing in the Rainbow thread?)

Tony the Tiger -- from the Tiger Truck Stop just 30 miles from my house -- is no more. RIP Tony, this really sucks. We always stopped to see Tony on the way to N'awlins or wherever the hell. Everyone did. SC

I just wanted to say how disappointing it is that no one does like we were doing and goes and changes their votes to the dead person, so we are all correct. I do, and I will. SC Olivia is queen (not literally) of this list that remains..... fitting she is icing on top of the record year.

This speaks VOLUMES about Canada.

#1 reason why some 'won't leave their homes' no matter how ugly an oncoming hurricane looks. Sad really.

Pope Boniface II, who was only Pope for 2 years, died this day in 532 A.D., or 1485 years ago (age unknown). The 'A.D.' is only because of him. During his brief Papacy, Boniface changed the numbering of the years in the Julian Calendar from Ab Urbe Condita (based on the founding of Rome) to Anno Domini (A.D.), based on the birth of Jesus.

Melissa Etheridge was arrested back in August for possession of a controlled substance after her tour bus was stopped by the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol in North Dakota on the way back into the U.S. A K-9 unit detected possible drugs, according to the site, and officers later found marijuana oil. Etheridge, who is a breast cancer survivor and who has said she uses the oil for symptoms of pain, pleaded not guilty to possession. SC [How's THAT for a quality thread reboot]

Christina Applegate, who had a double mastectomy 9 years ago following a breast cancer diagnosis, has now had her ovaries and fallopian tubes removed to help ward off the disease. Posting here cuz, like Angeliana, she tested positive for BRCA1 and went ahead chopping herself up as a preventative measure. So I'm lumping them together, no (well perhaps some) pun intended. SC

Rapper Fredo Santana was recently diagnosed with kidney and liver failure, and is 'thinking' about changing his ways. Also says he's collaborating with Chief Keef, who as I recall got shot up with 6 bullets last year. Solid recovery1 SC
