In surgery after a stroke. Doctors trying to remove pressure in his brain and friends and family are there.

Madiba for moi.

Brother of Senator Mark Udall (D-CO) found dead in remote woods.

FW de Klerk in hospital for pacemaker surgery.

To stay at Ashworth and not go to prison. Sigh. http://m.guardian.co.uk/uk/2013/jun/28/ian-brady-tribunal-ruling?CMP=twt_fd

Mandela's daughter says he is "very critical" and "anything is imminent".

Fraudster pardoned by Bill Clinton, Marc Rich, dies in Switzerland.

Interesting article if it's true. Meeting yesterday ended with family going to visit Mandela and a team was seen digging a grave near the family honestead. http://www.timeslive...lders-to-decide EDIT: Apparently, a "well informed" source for this SA newspaper (dunno how reliable it is) is claiming that the clan is currently in a heated argument about where to bury Madiba. http://www.iol.co.za/news/south-africa/eastern-cape/mandela-burial-spot-row-1.1537555#.UcqKJKyNAnM

Senior members of Mandela clan hold meeting at family HQ. http://www.itv.com/news/story/2013-06-24/nelson-mandela-critically-ill-in-hospital/

That's the fifth post-war Italian PM to die at age 93. I would be worried if I were Carlo Azeglio Ciampi.

I thought she was through with it, but this April article from the Washington Post says that Ruth Bader Ginsburg "is undergoing treatment for pancreatic cancer." Pancreatic and colon cancer, very frail, and 80, IDK, but this woman seems like a ticking time bomb to me.

Flown to Moscow on an Emergency Ministry flight. http://on.rt.com/zjnhon

Hasn't opened his eyes in days, unresponsive and family is discussing his "options".

Former bodyguard says medical team isn't respecting his wishes and that he should be "set free".

Maureen O'Hara made her self-described final public appearance in May. The article also makes mention of the fact that she's living near her family and has access to 24-hour care if needed.

On Tuesday

Miller Barber at 82.

Both of these sources seem to believe that Kimura is dead. Also, Hikariko ONO, whose verified Twitter account states she is Japan's Deputy Cabinet Secretary for Public Affairs, has tweeted that he is dead.

Toss up between Madiba and Bernie, but if she's made it this far I can see her outlasting Nelson.

This makes me harken back to the days of Chávez.

Before Nelson was taken to hospital, he was resuscitated at home. Also, his kidneys and liver are now functioning at 50%.

Vivan Campbell of Def Leppard has cancer. http://m.rollingstone.com/?redirurl=/music/news/def-leppards-vivian-campbell-has-cancer-20130610

To stay in hospital for two weeks and then "convalesce" for two months.

Is it good DL etiquette to like your own posts? Oh shit! I just noticed this now, I swear I'm not some ego maniac ("Like" retracted).

Government does not sound optimistic indeed. For once a guest is right. "During the past few days NM has a had a reoccurrence of lung infection. His condition deteriorated at about 1.30am..." and another official stating it's, "serious this time."
