Voivod guitarist Denis D'Amour, 45, dies

Voivod guitarist Denis D'Amour, better-known to fans as Piggy, died August 26 at a Montreal hospital after a battle with colon cancer. He was 45.

Although fans focused mainly on Voivod's futuristic lyrics, D'Amour's complex, jazzy guitar work fueled the band musically.

In Remembrance.

Chief Justice Rehnquist Dies at His Home

Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist died Saturday evening of cancer, ending a 33-year Supreme Court career during which he oversaw the court's conservative shift, presided over an impeachment trial and helped decide a presidential election. His death creates a rare second vacancy on the nation's highest court.

Rehnquist, 80, was surrounded by his three children when he died at his home in suburban Arlington. His wife died in 1991.

A quote from John Fitzgerald Kennedy:As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.

To reach the port of heaven,
we must sail sometimes with the wind and sometimes against it,
but we must sail, and not drift nor lie at anchor.

Just chart your course by the first star of morning little buddy, the skipper will guide you home...
